yneeb- do you have any working machine at this point? have you tried a small one? while gathering aprts, put serious effort into learning a 3dcad application, its worth the trouble! starting small isnt advice only for wussies. i started ultra simple, treaded paths i know people on luberth were doing in 1990.. that was fine. it took 6 or 8 months.. but now i have tried like 10 different linear actuation methods and read thousands of pages of info, and still dont have a decent mill working.

i will soon though.

i must add, like you, i am not really in this for the "CNC hobby" I want to use my machine to devlop product prototypes and help me make robots. im getting sick of waiting for $$ to procced, but all i have is $50-200 at a time.
