Ayup hitmythumb,

I buy a few bits of Marchant Dice for a small engraver/router I sell, Kevin Marchant is a decent bloke and builds good machines, Its mainly comprised of Aluminium structural extrusions (wonder if any of thats spelt propper?). I also use these as they make a damn sturdy machine.

Did you go ballscrew or trapezoidal?

If you have the thing moving you should be doing more than straight lines by now!! Are you using Mach to control it?

I have only been on mycncuk a few days (ex cnczone) but have found a great bunch of people, Ask for any advice or help and you'll find it here!

Michael.
