My CNC 5'x8'

I build a Joes 4x4 hybrid, beefed up to a 5'x8' cutting bed. You will notice the huge X beam, which I'm sure wont bend. lol

I just thought some of you may be interested in seeing some videos of it. So here is a link to my youtube channel. Check them out.

Enjoy. Let me know what you think. Thanks to joe for the awesome plans!
Future upgrades include all aluminum carriages and a better Z slide + steel base.

Controller

FYI I am currently working on a video of my controller. Hopefully I can post a link to it today.
Also I have a video coming of me flipping through my Mach3 settings, so you guys can pause at which ever screen you need and compare. (maybe you will even find a mistake in my settings lol)

Also in case anyone wants to see my Mach3 settings. Here is a video of that. It's a little hard to make out the numbers, but if you watch it in HD it's somewhat legible. I didn't not have a software to record my desktop in my shop, so i did it the old fashion way.

interesting solution about the gantry beams and very nice videos. i dont know much about this plans, but if you are willing to make another video can you show us the rails and the bearing assembly, is it exact enough this way? what i wondered always is if the bearings eat very fast the iron rails? will it last long enough like this?

ps. your dust foot doesn't seem very effective, it needs some brushes or sth like rubber to close near the surface
