Hey everyone,
I still havent assembled my CNC machine yet from the first kickstarter since I've been busy in grad school and I still want to put a few coats of poly on the mdf parts first. I also funded the second kickstarter for the ABS parts so I'm going to wait till I get those.
Anyway, I am modifiying my cutting bed to accept some kreg t-tracks when I finally start assembly and I saw these: http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page ... te=ROCKLER. Rockler has a bed of these on their expensive CNC system and I'm thinking of adapting it to this CNC, the only thing I need to find out is if they will fasten to the aluminum bed rails and figure out a easy way to fasten them side by side since the largest part is 3" wide.
Also, I am curious if anyone has tried a smooth stepper with the CNC yet, I saw that a new ethernet version came out and I am thinking of getting it since none of my computers have space for a parallel port.
