Finito! Now you have made your first Computer Numeric Control Machine!!! (If you followed the instructions, and they are good enough…) In this video we show how to set up EMC2 CNC Software and run a test. These probably are not the optimal settings, if you find settings that work good, please post them in the comments for others to use! 
Have fun and post any questions you may have 
Notes: The travel distance measures 1.5″ x 1.5″ x 1.5″ (Not that big). The resolution of these stepper/sled configurations is not great so the stuff it will produce will look a bit jagged. Try and use the lightest parts you can find so it can move faster/ without skipping steps. It seems some CD-Rom sleds have more torque than others and some sled assemblies seem to only handle pressure well in one direction, also the z axis (up and down) cannot support a lot of weight, keep that in mind when selecting the sled for the z axis and selecting “tooling” (you can use small motors for milling and markers for making printed circuit boards for example..)
