$400 DIY Drawer Slide CNC Machine

1-8-13 CNC 025.jpg
This is just a quick follow up video of my completed drawer slide CNC machine.  The total cost for this was around $400.  It took a couple months just working on it when I had the time.  The stepper motors and driver board (TB6560) were ordered through eBay for $175.  

I would imagine that this general design could be enlarged with longer slides and could hold a full sized router.

The next step is to start working with creating some G code and figuring out the cut settings in Mach3.

Thanks for taking a look.  (I've posted several videos of the project as it has evolved.)
