In this video I show you major upgrades to my CNC router, including the addition of a 2.2kw spindle. Make you own parts with wood, plastic, or even aluminum. This router is controlled by an Arduino communicating to a PC using the Universal G-Code Sender UGS software. This build is an affordable alternative to the expensive CNC machines available commercially. Save a ton of money and have a ton of fun building one of your own.
