If you want to build a desktop sized CNC router, check out this article: http://diyprojectchannel.com/reviews/diy-smart-saw/. There is no need for expensive tools to build this machine.

^^^ $39.00 ^^^ Too many free ones out there IMHO. No need to buy.

Hi Chris, thank you for the hint with the moving-knot ! You're right. The gantry wobbles a bit about the central axis. This looks like great idea and I think i will steal it. ;-)

I have built a couple of similar machines.  I like your choice of linear slides.  With the bearings so close together on the longest (assuming X) axis, you may experience "racking" of the gantry.  I had this issue for a long time and solved it with a moving-knot system and documented it on my website:  http://cockrum.net/cnc.html

Your build looks clean - hope it works well for you.

Chris
