If it worked at all, that's quite an accomplishment for that budget. You can expect to pay a lot more for the parts of a half-decent CNC router, if you don't have a lot of the required components lying around. Depending on size, figure $1000 - $4000 for a medium-duty machine, paying yourself nothing for your labor. For more help and inspiration on DIY CNC, check out CNCzone.com .
