Inspired by @David_R8 with his build, I am off on a CNC Plasma build adventure as well. I ordered the electronics and motors last year and this project is nearing the top of the list. I found the v-bearings were relatively cheap on Canada Bearings, much better than Amazon and now that the borders have opened, I was able to drive over the border to Minnesota (30 minute drive) and pick up a shipment from McMaster Carr. I have never McMaster Carr before and wow, they ship fast!
A neighbour cuts signs for people with a CNC plasma cutter and we are going to try to cut the pieces and other plates. We will try one and see if it is "good enough". If not, I may have to suck it up and pay a local company to laser cut them. No one in town water cuts, that I know of. The laser cutting was ~ $200 last year, and is probably up as everything is now.
This project might drag out as we are also starting a renovation. Sigh....
But I figure get the parts in hand and it might actually happen.
