CNC Router V1.0 (For Cutting Multiple Materials)

[biketrialsdave]

Cheers for the help, I was looking at mitutoyo but will have a look at those cheap ones too.

I can't yet see how exactly to use a DTI to align the rails?

Fix 1st rail by pushing it tight against a known straight edge. If you don't have one you'll have to skip that for now and assume it is straight.
Put one carriage on the rail put the mag base on the carriage and use rods to reach across to the other loose rail and put the DTI touching the other loose rail. Run the carriage on the 1st rail back and forth (which will move the DTI)and nudge the 2nd rail until the needle doesn't move any more. This will at least set them parallel to each other.

Time and money (lack of) have been slowing me down with this project but just ordered the pieces for my control box :)
