Converting a X2 clone to CNC

[Shawn]

I didn't have much time today but did manage to build some swarf guards for the Y and Z axis. The Y axis is held in place with two magnets so accessing the lead screw is simple, the Z axis was boxed in as much as the casting would allow and is held in place with a single cap screw. I had never worked with aluminum sheet and a brake before but I can see that being incredibly useful in the future. Limit switches and the wiring left to go.
