DIY CNC

In this post I will show you my homemade CNC-mill.
The mill is entirely made of stuff you can get at the hardwarestore.
I did not use pricy step-motors but cheap and strong geared motors from electric screwdrivers.

Threaded rods were used to create a prepulsion-mechanism.
This is the Z-axis.


X and Y axis:






Just attached my dremel and milled the first piece.
