I've posted the electronics part. If I get some time in the future, I might post how I built the mechanical parts. Thanks! I’ve posted the electronics part.

I use econo-stepper controller from ECS. These controllers will not work with mach2/3 unless you change that setting in the ports+pins config.It sounds like you have a similar problem. Mach is the best CNC software I have seen yet. You might be able to get that to work mach2/3 if you switch to sherline half step mode.It worked with my homemade cnc mill.

Your CNC machine is amazing! I would like to know a few questions: How much did it cost? Are you planning to publish step by step instructions? Thank you! Good job! Your CNC machine is amazing!

Its rock solid when you think it wouldnt be. Well engineered! Yeah we have some carts and equipment that uses the 80/20 stuff. Its rock solid when you think it wouldnt be. Well engineered!

You can get it at McMaster, but it's 80/20 brand. Generically, it's called extruded aluminum profile or t-slot profile. Check out 80/20's catalog for all the stuff you can make with it. www.8020.net.

It has a funny Angled-X Profile. Is that a McMaster-Carr purchase? What is the frame extrusion that you used? It has a funny Angled-X Profile. Is that a McMaster-Carr purchase?

I think EMC is supposed to be a good CNC program for linux too. I’ve never made the jump to linux. I think EMC is supposed to be a good CNC program for linux too.
