Also some photos of your machines and maybe some work holding. I really like the idea of building them yourself versus buying a manufactured version. Thank you in advance for the help with the drawing sources. Jeremy.
The big difficulty when making these is the lack of scale drawings
I first get a 1:50 scale die cast model of the object, with that you can get some measurement.
The machine brochure usually have some dimension drawings.
One place to look is also this: https://avspare.com/, there you can get some idea of the parts.

Drawing a part that is more complex often takes more time than actual machining. The following parts assembly I was drawing many, many, hours
