wow thanks for the help and the offer of the future help, I will definitely take you up on it
I will always find a use for the mini mill lol its been a god send for me the past year.
I have been looking at others builds and want the best I can afford, and have no time scale on completion I have seen the digital nema23 2.2 with 556 drivers kit on cnc4u I thought would be adiquate what are your thoughts ?
I am thinking rectangle box steel welded for the Base with a fixed centered gantry, the y and z would be on gantry while x would be on the bed
2x hiwin rails on all axis with the obvious ballscrew on all 3

vague description I know but once I get an idea what everyone thinks is a good solid idea I will design it out properly
This is one project I can't afford to mess up so it will be done properly with the help and input from the people I the know

Thanks again

Jason
