Project Information

Well some of you fellow LJ's have been following my blog on my CNC adventure, and if not you can view my blog here. I finally finished my CNC and did a test cut that you can see here:

There are a few more things I need to add, such as: limit switches, E-Stop, and dust cover just to name a few.
I did get an E-Stop and limit switches from CNC4PC but did not wire them up yet. They can be seen in my Part 4 blog.

If you have any questions, please visit my website or blog first and if you didn't find an answer, I will be glad to answer them for you.
Thanks,
Kyle

P.S. Next Project- Electric Guitar for my friend.

Great job! It's so great to see a 17 year old out there with this kind of enthusiasm. Keep it up and you'll go far!

That's is really amazing. I'm afraid you set very high level for woodworking enthusiast like me…..too old to learn computerization in woodworking world. Ha ha ha.

That is amazing that you can make your own CNC machine. The uses are endless. I
It looks real solid and the placement of all the components is very neat. You can be proud of that project and you are so young!! What will be next?????

Thanks for sharing !!...................Jim

That is a great build, and being that you did this at 17 makes it even more impressive.

Thanks everyone for the great compliments. About the engineer and MIT thing, I actually plan on starting my own business in either woodworking or construction.
Thanks,
Kyle

Ray,
I would say around $900, but I had fun making it, and I guess that is all that counts.
