and yes trublshtr I was dumpster diving
yhe machine I came across first happend to be a 6+8 cnc table
I salvaged 2pc 3/4 cotiuously supported rails with bearings mounted in some nice aluminum blocks
a gantry extrusion 6+6 by 6ft long heavy walled aluminum and built in rails and an aluminum base with bearings for my z axis
all the limit switches that mount nicely to the blocks
the wire harnesses
all the timing belts and gears
a lot of retro fitting but I saved a ton of cash
I got it all for $60.00 C
If your on a buget man get your swimming trunks on and get diving
