	What do I need more to build my CNC Controller Electronic Parts & Software 1- Electronic enclosure ABS, Aluminum or Metal structure as you prefer 2- Aluminum or copper wires X AWG for internal DC wiring base on the current and voltage     being held in that connection 3- Aluminum or copper cable 4 or 8 Wires X AWG rated 300V shielded Stepper motor cable     base on the current and voltage being held in that connection 4- You might add stepper motor cable connectors for more flexibility 5- Mach3 CNC Router, Plasma and Mill controller Click here to buy 6- Instructions and wiring diagram provided with CNC KIT     To enquire about the specification & cost to build/retrofit CNC Machine Click here What do I need more to build my complete CNC Machine Electronic system Consideration 1- Stepper & Servo motors Most modern automation machines specially CNC uses stepper or servo system both Stepper & Servo motor have many types. Stepper motor is basically a synchronized brushless DC motor, the most popular stepper motors are the 2 phase bipolar motor & 4 phase Unipolar motor, 3 & 5 phases are less used in the CNC industry. Servo motors might be a DC or AC motors, Servo motor brushed or brushless both require encoder to control the motor shaft and provide feedback on the encoder position.   Electrical wiring diagram Mechanical Consideration When you select parts to build a CNC Mill, Router Plasma, Lathe or Laser machine you should consider many mechanical issues 1- Weight & Force Like gantry weight for router, plasma, laser, lathe Table and Z axis weight for Mill The weight is not the only factor you should consider the force which might be the weight + resistance + gravity, force might have many formulas depending on applications. 2- Speed Travel speed is when machine travelling from point to another without any resistance caused by physical touch like when spindle cutting specific materials. In case of CNC Mill or Router, Cutting speed is when the machine engaged with the material caused by physical touch between the router/spindle and material. The cutting speed varies from material to another depending on the material hardness.
