In this video, I’ll show you how I built this awesome CNC router without having access to high end tools, and what it’s capable of. I decided to keep the video relatively short, but will be happy to answer any questions in the comments below.
The Arduino runs GRBL, and I control it with Universal Gcode Sender.
