DESCRIPTION:
"An epic win for the hobbyist community!" according to Guido Kimble. I got my copy of the book today. I've spent maybe a half hour skimming the book, and my initial impression is that it is very thorough and complete. It goes through the basics of why / how the linear bearings will work, how to cut and drill the MDF, etc. Even a novice, that had only minimal experience with simple power tools could understand and follow these directions to completion.Everything seems to be very well documented, and is supported by many photos, schematics, and . Build Your Own CNC Machine Ken I've had my copy of "Build Your Own CNC Machine" a week and have finished reading it. I've waited years for the cost of computer controlled tooling to become affordable for artisans and hobbyists. Even so, acquiring the needed information has always been daunting. I believe these authors have opened the gates wide and will impact many disciplines.This book walks you through making a simple yet robust CNC machine that permits 3 axis, computer-precise milling in whatever your a.
