DIY CNC DESIGN

I was on the search for a DIY CNC kit or plans that would be affordable and yet be fast, reliable, and easy to operate and maintain. After months of research it was clear that none of the available options would meet my needs. At one point I realized that I had gained enough knowledge to come up with a new design from scratch that would meet all of my needs... It was frustratingly difficult to sort through the myriad options and to find the information required to design a CNC machine from scratch. It would have been somewhat easier to over-engineer the machine to be sure it would work, which is the route many people take. However, I had a tight budget and being an engineer, I wanted to optimize the design and get the most bang for the buck with my machine. Eventually the design was completed after over a year of research, many iterations of the design, and engineering analysis... A high performance CNC machine for woodworking, milling aluminum, and making awesome things! You can..
