Also I thought that I could make the work area capable of working up to 20 inches by 20 inches. |
You might be well served to build a small machine using wood and relatively inexpensive components. This would allow you to get some hands-on experience of what is necessary to build a machine and it would also allow you to ask more specific questions. Take a look at
John Kleinbauer's website for some ideas.
