CNC Router 2.0

Our shop-made CNC router gets a new look with expanded capacity and a vertical work-holding feature.

Take your CNC woodworking to the next level with this improved, shop-built CNC router design. CNC Router 2.0 delivers three major upgrades over the original model, making it even more versatile, accurate, and shop-friendly — all while keeping costs well below commercial machines.

First, the expanded 24" routing width (Y-axis) gives you more work surface for larger or more complex projects. Second, a detached electronics box—connected via a sheathed wiring harness—frees up the full X-axis, giving you nearly unlimited length capacity. And finally, built-in vertical T-tracks allow you to clamp boards upright, so you can rout joinery directly into end grain or create precise mortises with ease.

With this updated CNC router plan, you’ll enjoy a wider working envelope, more flexible clamping options, and greater workspace efficiency. It’s the perfect CNC solution for woodworkers ready to build their own high-performance machine without breaking the bank.
