Build Your Own CNC Milling Machines, Routers, and Plasma Tables

CNC machine building should be easy when you start out and it can be. CNC routers, milling machines, and plasma table are a perfect Do it Yourself Project for everybody. The technology is affordable and there are plenty of free resources around. CNC Routers, Mini Mills and Lathes can be easily built and upgraded as your skills increase. We will discuss the options available to most people at their different skill levels. We will also be trying to build a $75.00 CNC Mini Milling Machine project.

CNC Mini Mill Made From HDPE, Steel, Aluminum & Cast Iron

Here are a bunch of good pictures of my latest CNC Mini Mill concoction. It is made using HDPE board material from the Home Depot, steel tubing, aluminum and a cast iron angle plate from Enco. It ended up being a heavy (more than 40 lbs) and solid little machine. I built this for around $100 not including the 25,000 rpm spindle motor. Take a look at the pictures.
