Hi Chris,

I'm planning on building a 2ft x 3ft router/miller. Already bought a Gecko G540 4-axis stepper controller/driver. Going to be using 2 motors/screws on the gantry for extra rigidity, other than that I'm trying to keep it really simple so I can actually make the thing. Going to make the frames out of aluminium profile.

I've just this minute emailed linearmotionbearings2008 on ebay for a quote for all the linear guides and ballscrews.

Sure if we can help each at all then that's great. I live in Burnley, on Woodgrove Road.

I just had a look at your website. I can see why you might have use for a 5x10 foot router!

haha! more Burnley rough necks splendid

The more I look into it, the more I realise how much work there is to get it right.

i was super carful and spent lots of time on the design, i only have limited tools and i couldnt afford to start improvising half way through the build... after much research and creaitive thinking i played it safe and went for the tried and tested classic simple design

2 motors/screws on the gantry for extra rigidity

good choice, exspensive but a safe bet

good luck
