[chbot] CNC Router Query

[Andrew Errington]

If you really want to go down that particular rabbit hole you can follow
this guy:

I built his cardboard CNC as a project for my school technology group.  His
series starts with something basic (mostly using recycled electronics) and
then is iterated to improve it.

Best wishes,

Andrew
