DIY CNC PCB drilling machine maybe

[3v0]

I love it. But cant buy it, coz I'm in india. I'll try DIYing it, inspiring by utube, will be hard though I'll give it a try.

I would expect that it works to drill holes. But it you still need motors, electronics, and software. The unit for $225 is closer to working but has no software.

I know you want to DIY it but I just wanted to point out theat the $99 unit was just the starting place.

I realized it was just the XYZ table mechanicals but I apologize if that wasn't clear to others.

Myself, I have collected several "new old stock" Nema 23 Unipolar steppers that I intended to use for a high power auto' antenna tuner project and a high power RF amplifier project. I would love to use them for a DIY CNC Mill poject instead (drool).

How about using one of the older HP drafting plotters, already have XY steppers. Just need some beefed up Z movement for the drill.
