    There was a similar project in Home Shop Machinist, "Mini-Mill Power Feed" by Ted Hansen HSM Vol. 43 No. 1 Jan-Feb 2024.

    One thing his design had was a limit switch to automatically turn it off if it reached the end of the table travel. It used a surplus automotive seat adjuster motor, which probably provides more power than a windshield washer motor, but the overall design was quite similar.
