Building A Desktop Sized CNC From A Kit

September 7, 2017 By Tim

The Shapeoko XL is a very interesting CNC. It comes in easy to build kit form, costs about $1500 and uses a trim router. Now, there are a number of inexpensive CNCs out there, especially for the hobbyist  “Maker” market but I haven’t seen one that I thought was up to the heavy duty task of woodworking.  This one is well designed, smartly engineered and just might be up for the job as budget friendly digital woodworking CNC. I’ll be doing a full review at Popular Woodworking later on, after putting one to a good test. In the mean time, here’s my build video on YouTube.
