Most hobby CNC machines are made from aluminum or even wood. Sturdy alternatives such as casted epoxy granite machines are expensive and require a reinforcement skeleton. Here I show an alternative, using concrete with fibreglass snips (fibre concrete) I built a sturdy machine that does not need an additional steel skeleton. It combines the advantages of casted machines (precise inlayed connections, resistance to vibrations) with a much lower price and ease of construction. Hope this video inspires your own CNC design! Thanks for watching.
