DIY CNC machine is a very popular project on the internet, a lot of people made different versions but I want to show you how I made my own CNC machine with a Dremel as a spindle. Personally, I think that CNC machine is kind of an upgrade of a 3D printer, you can create stronger parts made out of wood or metal but it also has some limitations (that's a topic for another video).

In the first part of my DIY Dremel CNC, I will show you how my design looks like (if you have any idea on how to make it better or you see some problems please let me know :)) I will also show you all the parts that I will use in next parts of this short series. In the next two or three videos, we will assemble this machine and hopefully mill some stuff.
