But today I got a motor to turn. I had some problems with Mach 3, mostly because I've never really used it before. Once I thought I had the settings right and it still didn't work, I restarted Mach and it started working.
I'm going to try to cut and drill the rail slides tomorrow. Also, I still need to figure out what drive screws I'm going to use and get them ordered. Other then that I'm just waiting for my kit to arrive.
