This project will teach you how to build your own CNC drilling machine that can handle wood and plastic. The machine I have created has a range of functionality including a bit changer for changing between keyed drills, an end mill tester for checking the top plate teeth, as well as a digital readout for measuring feed rates and RPMs
To build this machine we'll be using CNC software called Repetier-Host (or just simply "Repetier"). This software is designed to allow you to create 3D models in .stl format which are then sent over to the CNC controller (your computer) which then cuts them out of wood or plastic with high accuracy
This project was originally posted on Reddit by user /u/Borzoi_Man where he shares his experience building a floor drill from scratch.
