In this video I’m going mill a printed circuit board. Something that I wanted to try for quite some time now. It’s milling a PCB. And yes, it’s Windows only.
Parts for making your own CNC machine.

A conventional milling machine Wabeco F1200 – but it should work with any brand – is upgraded into a 3 axis CNC mill using stepper motors and an inexpensive Estlcam controll based on an Atmel 328P “Arduino” microcontroller. Programming is done directly using G code, thus, neither a CAD program nor a CAM programm is necessary.

The Mekanika EVO CNC Router is a compact, yet a capable machine that’s aimed at the semi-professional market. I tested the machine for the last two months and will tell you if it’s worth the money you are paying or just an expensive toy! Let’s find out more!
Update #1 22-03-07: The “DI Spindel” upgrade is not only the spindle itself but also includes additional electronics within the electronics box, which makes the €300 price a bit more reasonable but also means that you will not be able to upgrade to the DI Spindle if you purchase the Standard Spindle at first.
