The tooling plate is something I made from a large piece of alumininum plate I had. I drilled and then tapped evenly spaced holes. I do not have a website, but you can find lots of CNC conversion information at CNCZone.
Also in the Yahoo groups for CNC machines ie. the Mach group and Gecko group
This was my first attempt at CNC. One good source of Info is the Yahoo Mach3Mach3 group as well as the Gecko group. I chose to go with a Kit, wich is not the cheapest way to go, but it was the quickest. Plan for ~ $1000 to ~$1500 for the CNC plus SW (mach 3) CAD and CAM another $400 to $800 depending on choices
