Most of the parts are in, time to build a machine.
The machine itself is a CNC Mini Milling Machine Kit from www.modularcnc.com, the machining and cutting quality of the various parts was done in a minutiously with very thin margins and the end result is sturdy and very well built for a machine this small and at this price. I would recommend it for anyone who want to get into CNC. There is however no step by step instructions on how to assemble the machine and that is ok and not really required since detailed schematics of the linear slides and motor mount is provided and the rest is common sense. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the diagrams, parts and pictures before starting assembly.
The step motors, drivers, power supply, parallel breakout board, emergency shutdown button and various other electronic parts that you can see in the pictures have been purchased from ebay or DIY made.
