How I built a desktop DIY CNC machine (CNC router) that mills steel | Sturdy | Precise

Although there are many options to buy a desktop CNC routers or milling machines, none of them seem to fit my requirements. I wanted it to be able to mill steel and be precise and cheap!

So I decided to design and build my own desktop DIY CNC machine (or CNC router) and document the process along the way to share it with you all. I used epoxy granite to dampen vibrations and make the machine sturdy. I hope you like the video. Your thoughts, comments or suggestions are welcome.
