While it is true he did more in terms of cnc than myself, i see some  
serious drawbacks too, and if time is put into it i would avoid any  
obvious problems.
The WD40 can says it all.

Also, i didn't quite understand the pic/memory card (?) discussion here,  
not knowing what on earth one would need that for on a CNC. It sounds all  
kind of like Software guys gone CNC which is why i don't really  
participate in the current CNC discussions as it seems a bit removed from  
real world requirements right now. I hope the discussion will turn towards  
mechanically sound, straightforward designs (directly PC controlled) again  
in the future as this is what i'd be most interested in. If it doesn't,  
i'll simply continue to mostly ignore it.

By the way i indeed found another, chicken grill motor today. Had a good  
laugh thinking what i can use it for to annoy you ;-).
