It's a 3-Axis router. The black thing is the cap from a spray can, holding the Z Axis up.

Speak of the devil... Thanks, Dave!

I got a bit more done on it today - almost at work stoppage again. Gotta order the lead screws, lead nuts, couplers, and electronics. That'll have to wait until payday though...

More pics tomorrow.

Thanks very much, guys. I can't take credit for the design - that credit goes to Dave Gatton. He's a member here, but isn't very active. He did a series of videos on his YouTube channel titled Build a CNC Router on a Shoestring Budget. Toward the end of the series, he tells how to get free plans. If I wasn't the first to request plans from him, I was durned close. Here's a link to his YouTube channel:

I run CNC (some manual) machines all day. This is extremely impressive !
