    He got all his parts from aliexpress I believe. It Chinese but the quality is still fine. Could have been done cheaper but he wanted big enough motors so that you could direct drive it, in the end he geared it down to increase the accuracy. The next step would be to upgrade to ball screws to remove the backlash or get a bigger mill.
