Hi, in the following two videos I documented the build of my DIY CNC machine. It's a 3-axis router with a wooden frame. Part 1 of the video shows the build of the frame while part 2 shows in detail how all the electronic components are connected. Also in part 2, there's a quick overview of the software and firmware that I use to run the machine as well as the first machining test run.

DIY CNC Machine
Build in 'CNC ROUTER BUILDS' published by BooTec, Jun 8, 2019.
In this project, I show you how I built my DIY CNC machine. All moving parts of the DIY CNC router are running on ball bearings while the structural parts are made with natural materials, namely birch plywood and solid beech wood.
