Woah, registering was annoying.

Why are these in PDFs? Sigh. Better than nothing I guess. I'll maybe
have some time tomorrow to draw them up in to some real CAD formats.

"The drawings used for producing our in-house MechMate CNC routers are
published on this site, for free. The plans and information from this
site can be used by small companies and persons to build "once-off"
machines which may not be sold for profit."

I looked over these in more detail today and attempted to start
modeling them in SolidWorks or ProE. However, I'm not entirely
fimiliar with these styles of schematics. I was literally staring at
them for 30 minutes. I just don't get it at the moment.
I've been working mostly with schematics that give 3-views, but in
these PDFs it's hard to distinguish when an object is completely
defined by a single view. I was wondering if anybody might be willing
to help go through the PDFs and do some running commentary on the
schematics, and then I can more readily model these up.
Most of my schematic reading training has come from reading books by
James H. Earle.
