Someone donated a nice x-y gantry to the team with nice ways, ball screws and servo motors. We'd like to make it into a router.
I started a thread on cnc zone about it with more information.

A few of us can CAM, run CNC's, etc... and We can all run manual machines, but we're CLUELESS about what to do here in terms of getting it running. We know we'll need a controller for the motors, and then a PC with software to run it. We're unsure what the best way to test the motors is as well.
Anyone with any experience with homemade 2d routers if you could point us in the right direction that'd be great!
