im prolly gonna keep this this way to learn cnc cutting and make a bigger machine on the side of this but want this one to work!
So if i dont make this controller card to work for me, what do i need to know to get one that works for me?
And may work on bigger motors in the future!?

you need to know what the motors are bi-polar or uni-polar (how many wires) then a controllor board to match, and descide what size motors you want to drive in the future (volts and amps)?

then can figure out what board to use.

ok the motors are 6 wires and 1A current/coil
and the 200oz, 3A ,3v looks lik a engine to work my way too!

Can this machine handle aluminum?

If not, then what changes would need to be made?

Beautiful machines here Joe!
i'm just a little curious why the round ways though? it looks like you're loosing a lot of rigidity with the long axles the skate bearings are riding on as well. using steel angle would allow you to tap straight into it and snug the bearings right down. also as the second dwg should show you should be able to pair up motors for the long axis and maintain a more firm table while gaining force.. i'm no pro and its obvious that you've put these designs through the wringers but i'm very inclined to start one of these up myself and i like tweeking things.

This is an older design, I have moved on to the CNC Model 2006, and also in the proccess of design of a 4'x4' hybrid metal/wood. will be very ridged.
