    Need Help/Advice

    Hello guys, I recently found a Shop Bot cnc router 48"x96" (what was left of it ) in a scrap yard. The table is complete and and gantry is there but it has been outdoors and needs all new tracks bearings and stepper motors. I bought it for a few dollars hoping to convert it to a cnc plasma table. Can anyone offer the most affordable ,easier, best was to convert this ? I would like add linear bearings and lead screws but I am not sure if this is such a good idea since it will be a plasma machine.

    Anyways I'd like to Thank you for offering your suggestions / input and any advice is certainly appreciated.
