Acorn CNC with Clearpath Servo's update.

Nice looking build by the way. I likely have about 100 to 140hrs of hard run time on the servos (the functional ones). The next upgrade is ball screws and likely higher resolution servos on 2 axis maybe 3, we'll see.
Here's a more recent pic showing the 4th axis finished and the 1/2" aluminum table, still have to do some wire management in the control box . I had nema 34 steppers on gecko raptor drivers at first and pulled it all for the Clearpath.I made the two heads for fun on the 4th axis for practice,had to customize the post processor in Vetric Aspire .
