This time I will start with AutoCAD to create the geometric primitives, then to CAMBAM to apply machining operations on the geometric primitives and finally cutting out the parts. In this first part, I will be designing a vertical part holder. A holder for parts like lead screws, rails, rods, and small steel or aluminum profiles.
I upload to Instagram very frequently and add great informative content as well as customer test videos. Make sure to follow me on Instagram at:

You can get the AutoCAD software from Autodesk.
CAMBAM Software:

I use this CAM software for my purposes. I personally like the simple user interface and I am able to understand the parameters from years of experience, so I don’t need CAM software that explains what the parameters mean.
Mach3 CNC Control Software:

This is the software I use with my CNC router.
The greenBullv2 60 degree 4’x8′ CNC Router:

This is CNC router that I use in my shop and is my favorite as it can also house a laser gantry and it is a great space saver. It takes up the same amount of space as a typical 4’x8′ machine, but it is intended to be pushed up against a wall so only one side of the machine needs to be accessed.
All of these machines and software can be purchased at BuildYourCNC.com
