It's hard to see but in the corner of the aluminum box is a length 1/4 in aluminum channel which is used as a dust cover for the horizontal screw.
I was making Christmas decorations when this picture was taken.
The lead weights help stablize the Y axis carriage. The black box is a Hobby CNC controler and the black knob is a Vari-ac I use to power the bow.The bow is made of 1/2 inch aluminum channel.
