Nothing improves efficiency in a wood- or metalworking shop - or almost any small manufacturing concern - like a CNC (computer numerical control) robot. But if you've priced one, you know the cost is a whopping $7,500 or more. Even plans on the Internet are expensive - and you can't tell if they suit your needs until you've forked over hundreds of dollars. Now for the first time you can get complete directions for building a CNC workshop robot for a total cost of around $1,500!"CNC Robotics" gives you step-by-step, illustrated directions for designing, constructing, and testing a fully functional CNC robot that saves you 80 percent of the price of an off-the-shelf robot - and that can be customized to suit your purposes exactly, because you designed it. Written by an accomplished workshop robot designer/builder, this book gives you: start-to-finish illustrated instructions; guidance on installing easy-to-understand Windows software for controlling your robot; plenty of time-saving tips, tricks, and pictorial help along the way; scaling and customizing instructions for building just the robot that you want; sources for easily obtained parts; and, a complete course in workshop robot design and construction, perfect for courses or industry.
