My first CNC mill

I finally did it, after a year of brain brewing, I built a mostly
homebrew CNC mill. Check out the setup at
http://www28.brinkster.com/causticreations/cnc/cnc1.jpg Sorry if I
run out of bandwidth, it's a brinkster site, what can I say. It was
made with tender care on a scroll saw and drill press, out of 4 ply
wood for less than $100 (not including the scrounged industrial
equipment such as linear slides and complete X axis assembly), so it
should give the cheap schmough hope. It suffers from a few problems
though... flexible Z axis column, should have made it from 1" MDF.
Super slow Z and Y axis caused by cheap surplus steppers with 48
steps/rev and barbaric stepper control which is parallel port signals
to bipolar transistors to windings. Finally, crappy dremel spindle
that won't be replaced until previous problems solved. Other than
that, I'd say it's pretty successful for a cheap homebrew.
