hi there, I have been scouring the huge amount of information about home building a cnc router and have reached a point where I don't know where to go. If there is someone out there that will talk to me about their own experiences so that I can make some headway.
For example; should I go with rack and pinion or chain drive. From what I have seen I am leaning towards the rack.
Should I do the skateboard bearings on aluminium angle or v-bearings...
Has anyone looked at taking the sliding mechanism from a compound mitre saw and applying it to the Z axis?
I hope that someone, or even a couple of people, may take the time to contact me and then maybe mentor me through this .

cheers
and regards
rob
