This machine was originally built by my Dad, when he was younger than I am now.
We tried to make it CNC. I got Dad to make the gearboxes for the stepper motors. Later, I tried servo motors ( slot-car motors ). I was always being too cheap, using motors that were too small. I never had it reliably working. It is still useful as a manual miller, like it always was. The weights are to remove backlash.
