My objective for this project is to design and build a CNC milling machine without the need for any machining of the parts. Ordinarily, building a mill requires a much bigger mill to get the axis surfaces flat and parallel.

Linear rails and ball screws are the cheap Chinese 20mm style that you can find on eBay etc.
