Just built an open source CNC machiene

My X-Carve CNC by Inventables was delivered a couple weeks ago, and I've managed to assemble it and make a few test cuts.
I will now start on the fun adventure of customizing and hacking it. I'll be making a custom dust extraction system for it, as well as building a Raspberry PI2 server to control/interface with it.
I will also be redoing all the wiring, which is currently in a bit of a sorry state.
For the control software I've been looking into ChiliPeppr, which is an open source web-based CNC framework. It's modular, which means I can modify existing modules or develop my own. Here's my custom workspace: http://chilipeppr.com/vex
Anyone here work with CNC routers?
