The CNC Router is the latest must-have piece of workshop equipment for the home enthusiast. At last we can organise a home computer to control a low cost CNC router to machine items for us.

But how does it work? What can you make with it? If you are thinking of buying one, what do you look for?

This booklet takes the beginner through the basic stages of understanding and using the CNC router - the design in CAD, defining the machining sequence in CAM and the operation of the CNC's control system.

This is not a text book it just a guide written by a home enthusiast. It has been written to help hobbyists and model makers to understand the basics of using a CNC Router.
