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

Probotix

Last week I ordered the Probotix 3 axis kit. It came in the mail today. I'm excited to get home and start assembling it. Rifling through the forums I have seen nothing but good about this kit.
I will post more later tonight.

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.
