Hi Steve

I can only see one stepper motor (on the Y axis) and only 1 is mentioned 
in the contents so how are the X and Z movements achieved.It looks to be 
incomplete yet claims all the functions of a cnc router.I bought a 
similar but complete machine last year machine for under \ufffd400 delivered 
(possible from the same source) and have been very satisfied with it .

Hope this helps
Keith
