The purpose of this thesis was to fabricate and operate a CNC machine with the use of an Arduino microcontroller. A small scale milling machine, namely a CNC router, that has the ability to mill various materials up to wood. We start with a theoretical introduction and a brief mention of the history of mill machines. In this thesis we mention the procedure we followed and the challenges we met. The first challenge was the construction of the CNC machine, because we had to make a correct plan and survey to find suitable materials and tools so that we achieve high quality without having to spend a lot. Next we create the program, that is in the language C, which accepts code in the g-code language and converts it to commands that control our step motors, which move the table and the cutting tool. At the last part of our thesis we mention the software, the list of the materials that we used and an array of difficulties that we encountered during the development of our construction.
