The quality of the technical help Dan’s customers get can’t be beat. Camtronics has also helped advance the hobby-CNC scene by investing a lot of time and money in investigating and beta testing low cost software and hardware alternatives for the DIY CNCer. |
Majosoft’s hobby site This is Martin De Roode’s web page and it is a real nice site that should be an inspiration to the do it yourself CNCer. Martin’s site is geared towards CNC engraving but it also has lots of other good information and links to other CNC related stuff. One of Martins many talents is programing and he has some free CNC related programs available, for non commercial use. |

Servo Lite is what mike is using to control his mill and here is a picture of the electronics here. |
Jon Elson’s Machining Page Jon’s page is about metalworking and his adventures in retrofitting an old Allen Bradley controlled Bridgeport. Jon has replaced the ancient controller with a combination of EMC, Servo to go electronics and amps of his own design. Jon is a real smart guy and a valuable resource for information on machining and CNC. |
A Home-brew CNC Milling Machine This is a link to Bryan Mumfords web page, Mumford Micro Systems. It looks like Bryan does some nice work, the pictures of his vertical mill retrofit look real clean. |
Home Build Hobby Plotter / Engraver Lots of free Qbasic programs for running your home built plotters. It has a wealth of information and interesting links. |

This site will be dedicated to the understanding of home CNC. My goal is to have a CNC mill for home use that is capable of machining light weight metals like brass and aluminum. I may also want to machine some steel. As I go through the learning process, I will document to this site what I have learned. My hope is that this site will help someone else on the road to home CNC. |
Hans Wedemeyer’s web page Hans’s site is a collection of his projects and has a couple of them are related to CNC. One page shows how he has modified his Maxnc mill and the other has a program for converting excellon files to gcode. |

Bruce Shapiro’s is using CNC for artistic purposes and has a very interesting web page with great pictures and links. I lost half a day to researching tessellation’s after getting side tracked by a link from this site. Bruce’s artwork is made with a CNC torch and engraver, I would definitely check this site, The Art of Motion Control. |

Dave’s Place This site has nice clear pictures of a Grizzly mill conversion, along with text describing how he did it and the components he used. |
Frits van Breemen-Schneider’s home page has some model airplane products for sale but the CNC foam cutter is what caught my eye. |
On Matt Shaver’s site you will find some information on what he used to convert a full size Bridgeport mill to CNC control. |
Pete’s MDF CNC mill page has some notes on it’s construction along with some pictures |
