About 2 years ago I came to use my router and when I pulled the switch, nothing happened. My initial thought was that maybe I had blown a fuse in the plug, but after checking the fuse and finding it fine, I gave up. Some have suggested that in this situation it is easy to…
z-axis mk-III
I very recently completed rebuilding the y and z axis of my homebuilt CNC router. However even as I was finishing that build, I knew the z-axis design was no good.
DIY CNC Router – Making my first thing! an Arduino Uno box
If you have been following along at home, then you’ll know that last time I had a successful attempt at engraving a sign. With one main caveat. The backlash on the x-axis was still evident and ran to about 2mm.
DIY CNC Router – successful sign cutting test.
Woo hoo! Today I had what I’m categorising as my first full on successful run though a whole sign engrave program.
DIY CNC Router – drilling and routing test 1
Last weekend was the first time I got my cnc router to do something recognisable. After some tuning I got it to plot out a simplified version of my blog logo, backwards…
DIY CNC Router – plotting test
This week I figured out what I needed to in order to send sensible gcode to my DIY CNC.

For some time I’ve toyed with the idea of building my own cnc router, or perhaps a 3d printer. The idea, of having a tool which allows me to fabricate parts using a computer to control the process, is pretty compelling.
