This is an excellent introduction to CNC and DIY CNC projects. The text is well written, the explanations are clear, and the quality of the information is outstanding. If you want an introduction to CNC with an emphasis on building your own machines, this is a great first step.

Being new to cnc, I found this book to be a good intro to the world of computer controlled machining. It is well written and understandable, with a little humor thrown in. Not only does Hess explain what the components do (and where they fit) but he gives some good advice to the person who is looking to build their own machine, the diy guy. I really enjoyed this book and it gets my recomendation. Ted

If you are new to the DIY CNC machine and interested, but don’t know where to start – this is a great book for you. It will help you understand some of the vocabulary and gives a good introduction to each major area you will have to consider when building your own machine. The intent of this book is to provide an overview and is not the book for you if you want an in depth set of plans or schematics.
