Greetings from Belize,
I am a high school woodwork teacher at Ecumenical High School in Dangriga, Belize. I am building from scratch a CNC wood router. As you can imagine the school does not have funds for this kind of project, it can hardly pay for wood.
Body made from ¾” plywood, linier [I think he means "linear"] slides are off-cuts of aluminum angle from window makers and bearings from router bits.
There is no CNC in Belize, therefore I am seeking assistance outside of the country. My biggest problem is the driver board, we have no electronics shop to purchase/donation of parts from.
At present I am scavenging stepper motors from old large printers, but I am only getting small 48 step motors. I am looking for NEMA 17 to 23, 80 to 305 oz-in.
Therefore I am asking for any surplus parts you may have that can assist this project. Let me be very upfront, we have no money for parts, and no money for shipping.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

I am wondering if this is a project that we [EWWG] can provide some assistance with, either in the way of helping to find parts and materials he needs, or a cash grant???
