5 Bears - CNC Bench Mill

	Research, concept, materials - Why I decided to do it this way
	Ebay is a MUST... - True statememt; motion hardware is expensive!
	The base; Y axis mount - How it looks and fits at the bottom
	Y axis ballscrew - Fixed end flange bearings, ballscrew details
	Master rail guide; limit switches - Some of the little stuff which must be done
	Motor Mount Plate - Creating NEMA 23 mounts from plate stock with accuracy
	Motor Standoffs, Couplings - Servo mounts; Oldham couplers
	Aligning the Y-axis Ways - How to work with THK linear motion blocks and rails
	X axis, Part I - Modifying a cheap iron table
	X axis, Part II - Installing motion hardware to the table
	X axis Accuracy Test - The X-axis is complete and working great
	G-Code motion; MPEG - The first CNC motion in my shop
	The 'Near' Dead Servo Driver - A cry for help from the wilderness
	Y axis Rail Mount, servo encoder saga - Just some filler so you guys didn't think I was comatose
	The Z-axis; planning stage - Prior planning prevents p-poor performance... we've all heard of that one
	A new Ballscrew for the Z axis - Turning and fitting a new journal in the end of a hardened ballscrew shaft
	Z-Axis Ballscrew Backplate - 1/2" thick aluminum plate makes mounting and adjusting a snap
	Z-Axis NSK rail mounting - milling the big side plates to accurately mount the rails
	Z-Axis Ballnut Carrier - connecting the ballnut to the spindle
	Z-Axis Spindle Backplate - bringing it together; getting close!
	Sherline Spindle Mounting Block - Spacing the spindle C-line relative to the table
	A NEMA 34 Motor for the Z - Boring an encoder disk
	Final Assembly Part I - The column is added; Y and X axes installed
	Final Assembly Part II - Spindle, limit switch, gas spring, simple engraving test cut
	KaVo 4041 HF Spindle Bracket Part I - Roughing and boring the clamp bracket
	First 'Real' CNC Task : Modeling and Toolpath - Creating some cooling fins for the KaVo block with Rhino and Visual Mill
	First 'Real' CNC Task : Machining the fins - The mill goes to work with the Sherline spindle
	Kavo Plumbing, MORE Y-axis limit switches - Maybe I'll get it right this time
	Supercharged Sherline Spinde - Part I, sheaves - Getting almost 10K from a Sherline ER16 spindle
	Supercharged Sherline Spinde - Part II, sheaves - They're done
	Supercharged Sherline Spinde - Part III, Motor Mount - Work begins on a new mount for the big motor
	Supercharged Sherline Spinde - Part IV, Motor Mount - Completion of the adjustable mount.
	Tests and Ramblings - 3d contouring tests; more hardware mods
	The KaVo Collet, revisited - These are difficult to make...
	Cutter Stop Rings - Getting consistent Z without fixed tooling
	Swarf Guarding - Part I, Concept and Y-axis Front - A much-needed retrofit starting with a stock Gortite bellows
	Swarf Guarding - Part II, Y-axis Rear and Skirts - The Y axis is complete; the X-axis is inspected
