Kind of a milestone with my CNC conversion project.  I made and installed the first actual parts.  The X-Axis now can move.
I soon as I did this fist test I thought that someone here might want to just stop at this step.  It makes an excellent power feed.  With no computer or other parts I can move the X axis as slow as about 0.00015 inches per second and as fast as the entire x-axis range in under one second.  It is very controllable.     
If someone wants to make a power feed, if you had the white plastic plate, it would be a screw driver only job as it only takes two parts and they use existing holes.  I can supply the 3/8 thick plastic plates at whatever they cost me to make (not much.)   They some off the printer with M5 treads that work well enough to held any NEMA 23 size  motor.  I did ream them out with a tap but I think they work better if you don't do that, they were tighter before being tapped.
