Extremely sturdy DIY CNC with small form factor, suitable for milling steel

I build two small size CNC machines which are capable of milling steel.
Ideal for watchmakers, knifemakers, scale modelist and ambitious hobby machinists.

In this video I show the machining of two key parts and explain how and why extruded profiles in CNC builds should be filled with epoxy granite.
