Introduction

Your very own CNC Machine. Don't think it's an unrealistic dream. You're holding in your hands the instruction manual for building your very own, fully functional, easy-to-maintain, and (relatively) inexpensive CNC machine. But we understand your disbelief - we've been there.

Traditionally, for hobbyists, woodworkers, and anyone interested in do-it-yourself projects, the reality of owning a CNC machine has been far-fetched. Traditional CNC machines are expensive, complicated, and typically only found in large manufacturing companies that can afford them... because, well, did we mention that they are expensive? (Small hobbyist CNC machines can run anywhere from $7000 and higher; professional machines can cost millions of dollars!)
