CNC Plans

Make your Laser, mill or waterjet CNC with these full color plans. DXFs included

This application contains detailed on how to build a good hardcore hobbyist CNC. The application contains all the details so you can build your CNC successfully and it requires no internet connection after being installed.

In order to improve the usability of navigation and viewing details, plans were made ​​in PDF, so installing the Adobe PDF Reader application is mandatory (it's a free application and within the program there is an option on the menu for easy installation).

The plans are the result of a process of continuous improvement in development and can also be easily modified to create a industrial grade CNC .. larger and even more powerful.

Inside this application will also find a DXF file with the plans of the parts to be cut (can either be milled on metal or laser cutted on lower end materials.. such as MDF or Acrylic). It's not required anything beyond the material described in the plans and the parts supplied in DXF file. This being said you can start building your CNC right away.

In order to improve navigation .. plans are presented according to the following chapters:

All chapters have high quality images and details. This is a great product.. because you can have these plans on your tablet of phone ready for consultation at any stage of development.. no matter if in the hardware shop (a full list of parts and materials with price is also included) or at assembly process.

Special an important note : Please be aware that this application requires 20 to 40 Megabytes of free space due to the highly compressed data within (although the application seem to only occupy 4.6MB, it actually occupies about 20 to 40MB when in use. This happens because the internal files are being uncompressed for viewing in good/high quality). After the application is terminated, the smart internal engine will remove any temporary file that may resulted from the viewing process and will restore your internal stoage capacity to default.
