more pics. the plywood adjustment block was a failed attempt.
instead of mounting the stepper to the top and using the stepper motor bearing for support, I think i'll support both ends of the screw with bearings and connect the motor and the screw with a coupler. i need to build a motor mount that will hold the motor away from the screw.
I'm also trying the make the motors easily removable(ie couplers). after building the router, I'm going to try to build a hot wire foam cutter.

too many hobbies!!!
