Dear Members (Guests),
I have an interest in building a CNC (Desktop) machine and would like to know what would be the best way to start. I have seen numerous designs on this site and admire the outcome of the machines built.
My experience is mostly in programming commercial software. Therefore my mechanical knowledge is basically zero. My electronics is still at an amateur level as well.
If possible can anyone guide me in starting to build a simple CNC drilling machine and then move on from there to a more advanced CNC milling machine. Any literature is also welcome and obviously software that is low cost to use with the CNC machine.
I would like to have a go at writing the software but i would rather leave that for a later date. At the moment one thing at a time.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
