    Welcome to the mad house,
    I think JohnS has a beaver mill or is in favour of them.

    That's a nice thing to have standing in the corner of the workshop (Actually, It'd be quite nice to have a workshop with a spare corner!)

    I suggest you look at ball-screws rather than using the existing lead-screws (for X and Y), with servo motors, rather than steppers, for a machine of that size.

    Are you thinking of motorising the knee or just the quill?
