An epic win for the hobbyist community! Guido Kimble I got my copy of the book today. I've spent maybe a half hour skimming the book, and my initial impression is that it is very thorough and complete. It goes through the basics of why / how the linear bearings will work, how to cut and drill the MDF, etc. Even a novice, that had only minimal experience with simple power tools could understand and follow these directions to completion.Everything seems to be very well documented, and is sup. Nicely detailed guidebook; compile a parts list and make corrections as you read An inspiring introduction to the topic. Lots of detail in the book (and plans on the website) on how to cut and assemble the parts. Two cautions: (1) I see it more as a thorough guideline rather than a detailed recipe - several details of some parts are left unsaid, I assume because the idea is to use suitable parts that you can find rather than slavishly hunting down the specific parts the authors used. There are also several errors, su. "Get a foot into the CNC door. Dated, but still good information for the hobbyist." according to Christopher T. Dahle. I bought this book in 2009. At the time, it was just about the only thing out there to help a non-engineer hobbyist or woodworker seriously dive into the project of building a CNC machine for the home shop. I did begin the process of building my own machine and got as far as cutting out all the MDF parts and obtaining some of the mechanical and electronic parts. But the further I dove into the project, the more I came to understand that
