This will be a CNC milling machine. My goal is to make this mill for the minimum cost I can while not sacrificing quality. In hope of staring an educational YouTube channel on CNC milling and 3D Printing. Along with when to use both.

    The ones I got are in the links below. They are nice but a little loud (not loud enough to be noticeable with stepper motors and the spindle moving) maybe some lithium grease will fix them up. The only thing about them is they require a lot of screws to hold them down but the rigidity of them make it worth it.

    I got these ones
