The CNC Cookbook: An Introduction to the Creation and Operation of Computer Controlled Mills, Router Tables, Lathes, and More
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, and is a collection of technologies that enable precise computerized control of a variety of machines. If you are a hobbyist or DIY enthusiast interested in building and operating a computer controlled device like a router table or foam cutting machine, or converting and running a benchtop CNC mill or lathe, then The CNC Cookbook will provide the help you need to get started. Concepts of design, construction, and successful operation are covered in a practical, straightforward way. Topics include: Types of CNC hardware (motors, drive systems, linear slides, etc) Electronics (motor drives, power supplies, and more) Software (CAD, CAM, and controller programs) Conversion of existing machines and design of new CNC machines The basics of G-code and how to operate a CNC machine successfully Tips to avoid expensive mistakes
Build Your Own CNC Machine (Technology in Action)Build Your Own CNC Machine is a groundbreaking book targeted at the growing number of hobbyists wanting to fabricate wood and metal parts of their own design in their home workshops. Lead author Patrick Hood-Daniel is creator of buildyourcnc.com and is well-known for his affordable, easy-to-build designs for home CNC machines. His videos on CNC machines are watched by tens of thousands of hobbyists. Each one of those viewers, and each of his website visitors represents a potential sale of this book.
The interest in hobbyist-level CNC machines is real and growing.

From the supplier: Thermwood Corp. has developed computer numerical control (CNC) routers to automate production wood carving. The heart of the system is a programming system which automatically scans the part to be carved back and forth until a smoothing program is completed. Companies without skilled woodcarvers would benefit from the CNC routers' ability to accomplish three-dimensional wood carving.
