I received a text from Fed Ex stating my Power Route kit will be delivered today. I thought I would post a memorial for my current CNC machine.
I spent months in my garage carefully cutting out MDF, drilling and tapping superglue reinforced holes, cutting aluminum angle, making ACME thread backlash nuts from scratch, strange looks at Big 5 when I purchased skate bearings in bulk, and 3 old computer power supplies connected in series. My wife had no clue what I was building. I tried to explain, but she just looked at me with a blank stare, until one day 8 years ago or so I walked in with a huge grin and a freshly cut MDF heart. She understood, and I was hooked.
You have been a good machine, loyal (but temperamental) its time to say goodbye to your warped table, steel pipe and skate bearings. You will be remembered, but not missed to much.
