NEMA23 motors??

Yes it is nema23 motors. The BOM is a work in progress, but all the things are the same as used for the other cheap cnc i have uploaded. And the BOM for that is more complete at the moment. The only difference is the size of the machine.

Nice little machine :-) how is the dremel working for you? Because the mill we have with a dremel has a wobble because dremels have their spindel placed in rubber, so it can wobble. Making it unable to use it for PCB milling.

I haven't done PCB milling, so I don't know. But a dremel may not be the best choice for a precision task like PCB milling. On the machine I use now I have a Kress 800FME which only has an outrun off 0.079mm 40mm from the collet.

This machine reminds me very much of a swedish made machine called the "lillasyster". Nice work on the design.

Hi, just googled that machine, and yes they look almost the same! My machine is not a derivative though, Have never seen that machine before now, but I must admit that mine looks quite a bit like it.
