It seems the pattern here is the first paragraph comments on how long it has been since I have written things up, my post drafts folder is filled with skeletons of posts that have never really gotten finished off, hopefully this post gets finished.
Since the last post I have finished construction of my basic CNC machine, the Z axis is complete and I make use of a dremel for the cutting head, as there are a wide variety of bits availible on ebay that will suit its 3.175mm collet.
The electronics has remained virtually the same but I have upped the power supply voltage to 24V to get a bit faster stepping speed, and broken out some more pins from the parallel port to allow "touching off" when milling PCB's.
