Hi Spud:
I've recently announced the availabilty of premachined 1" dia acme
leadscrews, to be used in DIY cnc routers. In the upcoming month or
two I hope to have all the mechanical components available, which
will build a router of my design, but of course you can use the
leadscrew/bearing/motor coupler arrangement in your own design since
I can make custom lengths of them.

Next week I am also hoping to upload to my website the plans of my
XXYZ (ie twin X screw) 3'x5'x18" hobby cnc router.
