(Below) A closeup of the front bolt on rail holder. The pipes were threaded so I just screwed them in this end.
A closeup of the rear rail holder. I added some set screws on this end to hold the rails secure. Both the rail holders were carved on the first machine so their almost perfect.
Linear slides I made from mdf(also cnc'd) and soaked in epoxy. They turned out pretty well but I might remake these out of oak when I'm done. While I got the first few oak pieces cnc'd I couldn't get these made quite right. 
another shot of the assembly.
I have one more cross piece drying at the moment that connects the two slides and holds the nut for the leadscrew. Then the table top just bolts on top with some barrel nuts to hold it all square. I also plan on replacing the X-axis rods with black pipe. They bend way too much with any signifigant cuts which is why I've been having so much trouble making new parts. With any luck I'll be finished in a few weeks.
