Hi,

I thought I would share my build.
It's probably a little late in the process to start a build thread, I think it's about 80% there, but thought I would share anyhow.

I started this project around 1 year ago after a number of previously stalled projects (bought components, etc and then sold them off again).

My aim is to machine Aluminium and some plastic. No steel. Only intended as a hobby machine, not production.

Originally I wanted to make this a scratch build, but became daunted with the task of building the X,Y axis.
After looking at lots of stand alone X,Y tables and not liking the price or travel I eventually found a second hand mill base.
I believe that this is from an RF45 clone, this one would have had a round column Z axis.

I have ended up fabricating my own Z axis to suit.

Because of the delays is deciding what to do with the X,Y axis I ended up building the complete electronics before having any hardware done.

Some Pics to start with.
