Update on this cnc router build.

I'm liking it Tom.

Not sure if it was the camera perspective or not, but those steppers look huge.

Real curious what you find out working with the chain drive.  If you happen to
run into a situation of chain slop clobbering your precision, do tell.  This is
something I have always been curious about, ever since I had a high performance
timing chain in a race motor let go on me.  That was so difficult to diagnose.
Turned out, or at least the consensus was that my chain had expanded just
enough to delay valve closure causing a catastrophic engine failure when the
piston slammed into the exhaust valve.  The weirdest thing was, I took the
timing gears and chain afterwards, put them on a dyno engine and everything
worked flawlessly.  So whatever stretch happened to the chain, only did it
once and never did it again.  Many people don't realize how many moving parts
there are when you add a chain to the mix.
