Abstract-Computer numerical control is a process in which computer made programs or designs are converted into numbers. This machine basically can be used for automation of processes or operations like drilling, cutting, carving etc. These operations can be done on various materials like metal, wood , acrylic, foam etc. The main aim of using a cnc machine is to get high efficiency, reliability, speed and time consumption of the operations. Machine is powered by Arduino UNO which is based on ATmega 328p. CNC Router has a large working space and it is also a cost efficient product.

I. INTRODUCTION

Computer numerical control is basically automation of various kinds of machine using different softwares. Nowadays computer numerical control machines are widely used in industrial sector due to its efficiency, accuracy and precision[1]. But if cnc machines are needed on a more domestic level its cost is higher therefore for keeping the cost of the machine as low as possible, major changes are needed in the designing and construction of the machine. This cnc router machine is flexible and allow different kinds of operations like cutting, carving, and drilling of various materials[2]. Different types of rotary tools can be used for different kinds of operations. For cutting down the cost of the machine, wood is used in place of metal for the construction of model of the machine[3]. This also results in reduction of weight as well as the cost of the machine.
