It is a mill I am building from some old Microtek scanner beds. The old
ones had some really nice steppers with belt drive and heavy duty bars for
the scanning mechanism to ride on. I have modified them with linear
bearings (heavy duty drawer slides) and custom electronics. :) Trying to
get a start on learning this stuff without spending a fortune. I will be
happy if I can mill PC boards and small plastic parts with it. It is more
of a learning exercise for me than anything else.
