Solsylva CNC information and plans Description: A very informative CNC router site. Check out the "trial run" and "metal machine" pages to get a really good idea of what can be done in your garage. The first trial run machine is composed mostly from wood, and the large metal machine is just that, metal. Very high quality DIY projects.
David Steele also sells plans for a very small but quite useful home version here for $40 USD. I haven't purchased these plans, however from the projects he has produced, they are probably well worth it.
Lots of great CNC router information though, and a great inventor's CNC resource. Added on: 06-Nov-2005 Hits: 938 Rating: 6.0 (3 Votes) Rate this Site | Details Category: Inventors Links/CNC
