As a 3D printing guy, I honestly had quite some doubts and anxieties about getting into CNC machining. But, oh boy… ball screws driven by servo motors, automated levelling, automated tool changing… and there is way more to discover on that modern cnc machine. Sounds too good to be true for beginners and even advanced users, right?! Join me, a total CNC noob, doing my first steps in CNC milling and getting my first project milled out of aluminium!
