At the Making Awesome makerspace we are building a small CNC router from parts we and friends have on hand. You could say it is a CNC router built from found parts. Here is a picture of the mechanism as of today.

| CNC Router of Found Parts |
Our makerspace does not have metal working equipment which is handy for making parts though we do have 3D printers. Lucky for us the member making the CNC mechanism has a shop of his own which includes lathes, mills and home grown CNC equipment.
The X-Axis and the Y-Axis, gantry use V grooved bearings on V shaped extrusions. The gantry will be moved by a single NEMA 23 step motor using a 3/8-12 threaded rod with X and Y using NEMA 17 64oz.in. and 1/4-20 rod.
More pictures to follow.
