I posted a thread of this CNC router build a few weeks ago. Now it’s done and runs great. I tried to post a short video, but apparently the file is too big to upload here.

Basic stuff is not too bad, but the CAD program (I’m using Aspire) is like Photoshop - immense possibilities, but basic shape design not too bad. Additionally, there is the program that runs the g-code that drives the machine. There again, the analogy is like knowing how to drive a car, or learning how to build an engine. I’m a student driver!

Gatton CNC. Dave Gatton sells the pre-cut wooden parts with a complete build sheet and links to resources for the hardware and electronics. There is a very helpful Facebook group as well.

Canned cycles on it? If so, learn them as it will make you life MUCH easier.
