If you're unaware, CNC routers are machines that allow you to easily create 3D objects. They use computer control and commonly these days come with laser cutters that can cut any materials such as wood, plastic, cloth and even some metals. There are many different types of CNC routers on the market but this article will focus on giving you guidance on building your own brass cnc machine from scratch
The first thing you'll need to do is decide on what type of machine you want to build. There are basically two types: The milling machine and the lathe machines. The milling machines are generally used for producing small parts while the lathe machines are used for producing large parts such as gears or other objects that need to be machined down into smaller pieces
When choosing a material for your project it's best to choose one that can be machined easily by using CNC equipment. Brass is one of the most popular choices because it's relatively easy to cut using a CNC router, although some other metals such as copper or aluminum may also work well depending on how much detail needs to be added onto the object being made
