Hello,
after lurking for quite a while and dilligently reading most every thread, it's time to build my own MM.
I had started to build a router from scratch before I found this site. Since I wasn't very far along, I thought it to be wise to quit and follow a workable and proven disign. This site and the design is by far superior to everything else I found on the web. Most other designs are either hobby outfit or unworkable.
Most materials acquired sofar (stepper, drives, enclosure, etc) will work fine with the MM. So other than some steel, not much is lost.
So, just placed the order for the steel to be picked up next week. Luckily a friend of mine works at one of the local steel warehouses, so I get the steel at a very competitive cost.
This project will go a bit slow, since I am still building my house at the same time. BUT the important thing is that my shop is finished and pretty well equiped, just missing the CNC router.
Cheers,
Bernhard
