Herbie I am more than happy to share the build. I have all of the electrical drawings and some construction drawings and I am happy to take some detailed photos. It realy just depends on what your looking for. I live in Perth Western Australia so everything was either sourced locally (which is...

I have always had an interest in cnc and my project started out when I was given a couple of stepper motors. Six months later, my machine is complete and is working better than I ever expected. I should state up front that I make small parts for model engines the current project being a true...
