OK. Here's my cnc table build. I've been watching this forum for years and lusting after a table like you guys have! Now it's my turn to try my hand at CNC.

Table will have an 84" x 102" cutting area as I need to cut out items that are large. Most cutting will be 1/4" and 3/8" material. I've studied all the plans but won't be following them... prefer to do things my own way and pick and choose features that fit my goals.

I've got some time over the holidays so I'm hoping to really push through this build.

I'm thinking about using hobbycnc.com stepper motors and driver kit. Anybody want to comment on the hobbycnc products?

I'm still not sure whether I'll be setting it up for plasma or torch.... maybe I'll just make room for both. I've got a Thermal Dynamics 38xl but it's on my **** list as it is just too small for my needs.

I want to thank all of you for going before me and sharing your builds. I never would have dreamed I could build something like this without your example.
