Things are moving along

Well, I have not been posting lately but I have been doing things.  I have my arduino based controller working and responding to g-code.  Just to fill you in, I have a grblshield and and arduino. The grblshield is a 3 axis stepper controller board for the arduino. So far, it is really nice to see motors actually moving.

I have decided that I will play with the smaller cnc machine for now. I will be using lead screws on this one. I have everything I really need for it.

I had considered using my little Proxxon X-Y table but I think I will reserve that for my little drill press.
