Thanks for all the input. I plan on using it for wood and maybe aluminum. Would you suggest rubber boots over the "threaded drive rods" (for lack of the proper term)? I'll definitely upgrade the computer before firing it up. I'm out of town and will be away from it for while so I'll spend the next few weeks watching Mach videos and asking a lot more questions on this site. Once I have a better understanding, I plan on building a larger machine with a movable gantry and y-car for larger work. This machine only has a 25" x 25" work area. I really appreciate all the knowledge and advice that is readily given from the members here. Thanks!
Work Safe!
