[757labs] CNC machine

Damn, yeah, pretty close. I'm finding lead screws to be expensive,
particularly for larger ones (either length or width), but threaded rod
works pretty well if you can cope with the loss of resolution, at least as
a stop-gap.

If anyone has a good supplier of lead screws that charges a fair price let
me know.

Controller? Drivers? Power supply? Sacrificial material? Anything else you
might need?
