Not much to post, since I haven't touched my CNC project in a few weeks. I did, however, find a fantastic write-up for building a CNC machine through instructables.com. The information there seems MUCH more useful than the information that came in my $36 how-to book that I purchased.

Perhaps I'll re-prioritize the CNC table back to the top of my list of projects...

UPDATE: I compiled the instructable into a zip file so anybody can print it out fairly easily. ZIPPED UP INSTRUCTABLE
