Hi All,
I built a 3 axis wood mill. It works for me. Better than that, I wrote a python script that generates all my part dimensions for me. Don't like my dimensions? change the script, it'll spit out dimensions for whatever X, Y, Z space you need.
There are probably bugs. Everything seems to work for me though. I used these scripts to build a gantry suited to an already existing table.

(pardon my messy garage)
direct links to a dxf file and the python scripts are:

I could really use the help of a python programmer. I want to use this script to spit out my parts into FreeCad (which uses Python) as a FreeCad macro. It'd make testing new versions a LOT faster.
Anyway... I want to release this to the world. I don't know under what license. Lets say an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA ).
Thanks for looking,
Tony Diethelm
Edited to reflect new script due to feedback.
