CNC bound
finally was able to order the steppers and controllers to CNC my Mini Mill, just going to do 3 axis for now (hope to do 4 then 5 in the future)
Also ordered a copy of Howard Buckley’s book, hope to see that in a couple weeks.
Already have some good software, just need to learn how to use it 😳
once I get the mill setup and also get up to speed on the software I hope to make next gen version of my stock as well as a full air rifle 😯
(don’t really need CNC to make the air rifle, will be a nice exercise though)

I went with the Keling 3 axis 425 package with the 36v supply.
Figured there was enough complexity without doing the parts mix and match 😕
need to sit down and figure out how much metal I need to make the mounts.
the X will be directly driven but the Z and Y will be driven by belts.
may end up re-doing the Z axis, but I want to try an idea another guy is using, simple and fairly elegant approach. Question is: Is it accurate?
Good luck , im still on the long trip to make my mill CNC ,its something i have a go at every few months. Which stepper and controllers are you going to use ?. 😀
