    Homebrew tool and cutter grinder open source

    I'm thinking 25mm SHS arc welded frame,
    Worm drives from a car wiper motor,
    500w grass trimmer spindle,
    er11 to 25 say workholding,
    nema 17 or 23 steppers,
    24v psu, toshiba drives.

    It would have to be 4 axis to do a helix, or 5 axis for a ball nose cutter with relief.
    No bigger than a shoebox, maybe welding isn't even required.
    I'm sure there would be lots of interest given most people here would already have all this stuff from early experimentation.

    Thoughts? Interest?
