This looks great, but I need to get a new shed to put it in first though!  :applaud:

Since I already have two sheds in a very small area I've run out of places to put another since my 'other hobby' already takes up just about all the spare real estate in my garden and there's no way I'm moving that any time soon ::)

I'm thinking I'd have to build/keep this in my mates workshop (who I dare say would end up using it more than I would)

Oh Ive wanted a home CNC machine for a very long time.  I will so buy and build this.  Does your book cover interfacing to PC, and what software to use for design programming etc?

GAtekwriter:

syph007 - Yes, the book covers the steps to wire up the breakout board to the three stepper motor drivers, power supply, and the three stepper motors... we also show you how to configure the Mach3 software to communicate with the breakout board.

I would put this at the same tech level as wiring up your control panel - it's really a matter of just keeping track of which screw-down ports go to which motors and motor drivers.  Trust me - if I did this, you can do this.

Sounds great!  And sure enough, Amazon has preorders at $26.39, free ship.
