Here is a log of XYZ table development. The background: build an XYZ torch table for producing the metal components of a CEB Machine. See here for [http://socialsynergyweb.org/opensourceecology/content/ceb-prototype-1-fab-0 CEB machine fabrication].

I talked to Bill Swan, product designer from Texas, after I saw an XYZ table that he made. http://www.hal-pc.org/~dsbswann4/ ; 7138271503; 8323383080(c). Dbswann4@yahooo.com.

Hi Marcin.
I would really suggest a Xylotex drive or other known professional drive.
I use the Xylotex for  my Taig mill. [http://www.xylotex.com/3DB-116.htm]
They cost about $500 with motors, but you get $500 worth.
I wouldn't trust many drives I see on ebay to run a "real" mill / router table.
There is also the Linistepper kit for unipolar motors. I know these work.
Cost is about $100 for 3 axis

CNC software will run standard G code that is output from CAM to the machine.
G code is machine commands & machine coordinates.
I use Corel draw to make the parts, save as .DXF & convert to g code using Lazy CAM, part of  Mach3
Mach3 actually runs the mill table. [http://www.artsoftcontrols.com/artsoft/index/index.htm]
Hope this helps.
