Diy cnc router. all 3 axis moving with explanation

So I did little bit of tuning on my motors and lead screws. and I got it to turn. My cnc is now operational!!! All it took was a bit of oil and some shim jims! Really though it turns out these machines need alot of tuning. I'm anxious to see how it does on its first cut. I may need the help of master Roshi(dad) to accomplish this.

those pesky lead screws

I set up a lead screw system`and tried to jb weld the nut in place it poped loose.

proposed solution.....
Set plates on each side of the mount to lock the nut/s in place.

drivers steppers and the mobile gantry

 After to straight all nighters I have my gantry system assembled my motors wired to my drivers and spinning. its been a very productive week. Go Probotix!

XY Drive

So I purchased the xd-14 xydrive a few months ago. It did not work at all and website no longer works I advise anyone looking to get into cnc to avoid the xydrive.
