Thread: Start of a new built.

The linear bearings and supported rails arrived yesterday.
I have also done the Sketchup drawing so hoping to start building in a couple of weeks.
Initially, the idea was to build a small machine that could engrave up to 200mmx150mm but I couldn't get the rails I ordered are 420mm long and I just can't bring myself to cut them so now the machine's working size will be about 300mmx300mm.
I only want to use it as an engraver for now but might convert it to cutting as well in the future.
I am not going to use a dremel BTW, making my own spindle with a permanent magnet motor I scrounged form a neck massager.....no idea if it's going to be any good enough though as I don't have a clue what RPM it runs at. But it runs very quiet, can hardly hear it, unlike a dremel.
I'll add more comments/photos as I go along.
Any help would be appreciated.
