I recently won several goodies off Ebay to construct my DIY CNC machine including:
- 80 ABEC-5 Skateboard Bearings - $26.00
- 3 1/4" flexible shaft couplings - $26.50

Now comes the theory. I want to build a cheap yet accurate machine. I have decided to build the machine out of metal, predominately aluminum, in order to produce a rigid machine. However, I don't want to sink my teeth into a 8020 based machine with
Finelineautomation hardware.
So after scouring the internet for the last couple months I have decided to base my machine on
this instructable. Except I have some ideas to make it bigger, smoother, and more precise. Now lets just see if I can do it! Maybe I will try to draw up a CAD rendering.
