This is the first time I have ever attempted to make a CNC machine. After some success with building a Delta 3D printer - and years of machining on vintage manual lathes and mills, I always wanted to make the leap into CNC. Now seemed like the right time!
Persnickety Plate Maker
Build in 'X/Y Table Style CNC Mill' published by motopreserve, Aug 13, 2015.
My very first attempt at a CNC build. Based on the OpenBuilds C-Beam Machine, small tweaks will be made to tailor it for my goals: machining G10, aluminum & some carbon fiber for use with multirotor and motorcycle parts. I am looking forward to the day when I am comfortable enough to bring the ideas in my head to the tip of the end mill in a smooth fashion...

Special Notes
So far, wrapping my head around the TinyG controller and associated CAM software has been the biggest challenge. I feel most comfortable designing in Solidworks, and I am currently using Fusion 360 as the CAM software and Chillipepper interface.
