I show what parts i used and how i ve set up the electronics and computer. Below i ve left links to the componen.

If you too have come across some quality plan on the internet feel free to let us know and we will include it in this collection of projects for making cnc machines.

A typical diy cnc router has fairly loose tolerances compared to a milling machine or lathe but is capable of much tighter tolerances than most other woodworking.
