Easy To Build CNC Machine

Have you ever wanted your very own CNC machine but just never been able to pony up the money needed to get one? Have a peek at this one that Tom McWire slapped together. Video after the jump.

“Here is a way to make a computer controlled milling machine. That puts the real power of a computer control machining into the hands of the average human. Small enough to set on the desk but scalable to any size. As inexpensive as possible without sacrificing accuracy (too much). All most all the parts can be purchased in local retail stores. And above all CHEAP you can be up and running for well under $200. With it you can do 2 Dimensional engraving and PC board etching and 3D milling and modeling in Foam, Wood, Plastic and other soft materials.”
