Like it says in the caption i picked it up from Harbor Freight for $475. and its fitting that its red because its chineese. the steper motor and driver kit i got from http://www.hobbycnc.com/ for $280. had to buy a legnth of lead screw and dig through the recyclables at the machine shop for some chunks of aluminum to mount everything to. and brought it to my trusty Retiered machinest extrodaniar to get it all choped up.
