How to build a large CNC router controlled by Arduino GRBL and Universal G-Code Sender UGS

Make your own CNC parts out of wood, plastic, or even aluminum. In this video I show you step-by-step how I build a large CNC router for under $600. This router is controlled by an Arduino using GBRL (G-Code) delivered by the free Universal G-Code Sender application. This project does not require a lot of tools and is very fun to build. CNC routers this size normally cost several times more. Below are the links to most of the parts used in this video. Note that some of these are affiliate links, meaning no extra cost to you, but my channel might make a little extra to put towards the next video. Thank you for your support! (Also check for these on AliExpress, sometimes they are cheaper) In the next video I will show you how to make a part in Fusion 360 and then cut it on this machine.
