The third clip focuses on the basic mechanics that I have used for my workbeds and explains the problem with drawer-sliders.

I am building a desktop-sized CNC milling machine from scratch, using mostly parts from the hardware store. This video series will document my progress and tell a lot about the parts that I use, my electronics, specific problems and their solutions. Hopefully, this series will encourage some people to make their own machine. It is not easy (and I don’t recommend it to beginners in building hardware), but from all I learned while making my machine, it is definitely worth it.
