Re: newbie - pcb type machine

Thank you for the reply Brad. I will check out some PVC. however, i
don't plan on spending much (if any) money on this project, and buying
a booklet that shows me how to put a CNC machine together won't really
help that much, i already know how to do the main parts, the big
problems i am runnning into are that i have different kinds of stepper
motors, and i am an EE student, but i have never used steppers before.
So i will probably have to make my own interface. Also, I am not good
at computer programing, but i believe i will have to write my own
program for running my machine since i can't find any free ones that
are to my liking, although i haven't seen all that are out there yet,
so no offense to anyone with aewsome freeware.
