It uses a 'collet holder' (which can be found on ebay) with two simple roller bearings on either end to form the main mechanism. See! Simple. Drive that with a BLDC motor, and you're milling.

I've not kept a proper log of them. The basics have been the same: collect holder, two bearings, preload with bellevilles. I've tried various pulley situations, none of which were ever satisfying. Indeed, most were obvious failures once any appreciable loads / speeds were applied.
SO! I've just done this again for a new machine - Clank - that we are going to try to ship with fab lab home-pandemic kits. I've just given in to the shaft couplings, and a big ol' vertical stack. This is out to order / fab as of today.
