Making various panel furniture is also one of the most profitable CNC projects. It is also one of the major purposes of our CNC routers for woodworking. You can always find a suitable wood CNC machine to manufacture any cabinets, cupboards, wardrobes, shelves, office furniture, etc.

As a general rule, if you choose wisely you should be able to build a system for somewhere between 1.5x to 4x less than a similarly sized commercial machine. The bad news is twofold. First, it's still going to be costly. The more pre-engineered components you buy, the costlier it will be (but less risky as well).

For ease of use, GRBL is tough to beat. It doesn't require a dedicated computer, and it performs well. That said, if you need a fuller set of features, like cutter compensation, then Linux CNC is much more standards-compliant. For most people, particularly beginners, GRBL is the way to go.
