Made a little progress. I've got the acme rods installed (not the nuts though). I'm using shaft couplers to mount them to the motors. The workpiece platform is just laid in the machine and not mounted yet....it will be removable.
The MDF got chewed-up when making the motor mount hole. I didn't use clamps and the wood began vibrating and chewed up the hole. It still works, just looks like crap.
