Wondering if anyone has made a rack and pinion machine like these.

Will the setup process be as simple as discussed above or are additional steps / equipment / software needed?
I plan to push dye markers around - a couple .oz each on the largest table possible for pattern making. I would be happy with tolerances as low as 1/8" so I hope I can get away with scaling down the setup to lower cost materials.
