If it will fit in my mill I can make it. My mills are Servo motor driven and use Ballscrews and Rack and Pinion. I use to build lighter machines but the margins were too low to for the volume I was doing so I started designing and building Heavier machines

To build a 30 HP like the one Blue machine is about $175,000 for a simple barebones machine. They sell for around $350,000 Control package is around $35,000 with motors and drives.

What is the Hydraulic gear pump being used for? I have a 5'x10' Lighter frame sitting here. I planned to use it for a in house machine. But I would sell it at cost to move it out of the way. It is better built then 90% of the Light weight routers but It has been machined and stress relieved and is ready to be assembled. What size machine are you looking to build.?

 As far as open source.  There is not much in the CNC Router industry that is not open source.  They are pretty simple machines.  Frame, Ball screws, linear guides, Motors and control.
