DIY CNC Router Part 1 // Building a Small CNC Router

Part 1 of building a small CNC router as a DIY project involves designing the machine and selecting the necessary components. This includes the linear rails, lead screws, stepper motors, spindle, control board, and power supply.

The design of the machine can be created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This involves determining the size and shape of the machine, as well as the placement of the various components.

Once the design is complete, the necessary components can be selected and purchased. It is important to ensure that the components are compatible with the design and specifications of the machine.

The linear rails and lead screws are used to guide the motion of the machine and provide precise movement. The stepper motors are used to control the movement of the machine along the rails and lead screws. The spindle is used to carve and cut materials, and the control board and power supply are used to control and power the machine.

Overall, part 1 of building a small CNC router as a DIY project requires some technical skills in designing and selecting components. However, it can be a valuable learning experience for those interested in CNC machining and fabrication.

Hello friends, in this video series i'll be making a small benchtop CNC router for hobby works. You will find all the measurements and material names at the end of the part 2.
