Incredible $100 Arduino-Based CNC Machine:

CNC machines allow you to mill just about any shape or design you’d like using X, Y and Z axis. Typcailly they cost serveral thousand dollars, but this man built his own CNC machine and wrote up a tutorial on how you can build it yourself. Typically CNC’s use lead screws which create linear motion using a motor and a threaded rod. Another neat feature is that the entire system is build using Arduino and controlled via a Python script. A similar build is pictured below:
