   I like the idea of using two screws/motors for the y axis. Frees up some room and adds stability to get the x axis fro getting crooked.

   What Steppers and controller are being used?

   I’m using a 4 axis Xylotex controller and their 269oz steppers.

   Having an open table opens up for potentials, like allowing it to be mounted directly over a table top to router the top directly. But I’m planning on taking it a step further on my next CNC project later this fall (portable “backpack” 4 axis)

   Amazing machine. It’s a work of art! I’ve seen a lot of DIY CNC machines, and your is amazing. I have two comments.
   1. Replace your Acme screws with a 5 start 1/2 acme. You’ll need new Dumpster Nuts too.
   2. Replace the Acme to Stepper connectors with a good set of LoveJoy connectors. What you have right now will slip pretty easily.

   Again. Beautiful machine.

   thanks for the feedback DavidCousins. This was my 1st real taste in CNC, already bought an 8 start 1/2″ acme for my next machine and about to order new Dumpster nuts. Will most likely look into better stepper/thread connections. I’m planning on starting the build in September.

   beautiful work. i’m finishing my 2 axis machine, wich is more of a demo for a diploma project. however, if it behaves decent, i’ll add one more axis.
   again, excelent work

    That is one great looking machine… but it is ruined by by the leadscrew wobble you got going…. just get a set of damn step up adapter! (what do the neighbors think about you running it outside?

    No doubt dude, great looking machine and I rarely ever compliment a builder using wood for a cnc frame, but your design is brilliant. Put some wheels on it and grab a laptop and u got one heck of a portable cnc machine.

    Good work !!!!!!

    What are you using for the stepper drivers? No breakout board?

    Yes, I would have preferred a narrative about why you made the choices you did with your machine instead of the music.
