+====== HomeBrew CNC Router ======
+{{ ::homebrewcnc.jpg?nolink |}}
+The MKE HomeBrew CNC Router was given a home at The Bodgery in 2015. The Bodgery acquired a TinyG controller board for it, and the HomeBrew CNC was upgraded to use this USB based controller. It has taken a team of MadCityMakers to get it operational, and we are still working on ironing out all of the wrinkles as of late March 2016.
