Parts on Order!

As of late last night, I placed a $100 order from McMaster Carr.

My McMaster Carr Order

Overall, the cost is not bad given the fact that this is ALL the mechanical components to create the structure of the CNC router (excluding the wood and wood fasteners).

One thing I want to point out.  When shopping on McMaster, don't be too specific.  Although I only need two foot segments of 3/4" rod, look for four or six foot segments and compare the cost.  Check out line item 6.  I was able to find precision rod, with a tolerance of +.0000" / -.0005", which was six feet long but only costs $33!!!  This is a fantastic deal.
