When I first purchased my Millright M3 CNC machine back in 2020, I was never a fan of the manufacturer's basic electronics installation (but I went with it anyway because I just wanted to get the thing up and running).

In my previous post, I detailed some of the mistakes of selecting my first CNC router. In this post, I'm going to explain how I will fix those mistakes.

Before I get too deep into building a new CNC router, I owe you the backstory. My first run with CNC machines was … let’s just say, an adventure. Mostly frustration, a little bit of success, and a lot of "what the hell am I doing?" moments. Honestly, about 90% of the headaches were my own fault.
