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

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.
