A CNC video of our Kitamura...

Thought you guys might want to see our Kitamura running. Finally got everything working after a $1400 set of bearings, 2 $300 limit switches, and $3000 worth of electrical work. We are aiting for the cables that should be delivered tomorrow and we can run it drectly off of MasterCAM (we have v. 8.1.1) and a laptop, but made a simple program for testing while playing around this afternoon...
