The frame of my CNC is made of MDF and I was wondering if I should run a ground wire to my motor bases, linerar bearings and the metal portions of the machine?
Thanks

To Ground or not to Ground That is the question!

That is one problem with a MDF constructed machine, personally I would bond all metal parts together, and connect to a common ground plate.
I use this method in general and do not have any problems, I also ground power supply grounds and make sure the service ground is on it.
