It works!



Video to prove it!

ready to cnc! well not really





the manual mill 





new x axis leadscrew



new y axis leadscrew



leadscrews all installed- knobs removed



stepper motors - split nut only, split nut with plastic shear tubes, motor mount attached




motor attached to y axis






so I got the whole machine ready to plug in.....only to find the computer I had prep'd to run the machine has no parallel cable plug.   Really?  I can't believe I didn't notice that earlier- for some reason I had it in my head that my laptop had a parallel port.  I have a second computer I am reformatting now to use.  Killed the momentum a little but it'll get done!

cnc by morning? .... probably not but who knows
