Routers are the most used computer numerically controlled machines for cutting different various materials are aluminium,acrylic sheet , woodworking, generated by a software are available in a range of configurations from a number of manufacture industry.CNC Carving router system which was used in CNC carving machine was normally used for engraving, woodworking, drilling, 3D milling, PCB drawing, aerospace making applications. It can be used with design art cam software. The software used to control this CNC carving machine to control system by Arduino nano microcontroller in Grbl software, frame can be used with aluminum material. It this material is used because light weight. The main aim of this project is to reduce cost of the machine, it should be develop for educational purpose, and everyone can operate, this machine is portable, light weight, laser engraving, small sizes, and USB interface low cost and simple to use.
