Sure, those handmade brackets work just fine and may also give you a sense of pride in your craftsmanship, but all those right angles and grinder marks reveal something else: your fabricating limitations.
What’s the next step then? Machining your parts at home–and don’t worry, it’s not as difficult as you might think.
In the upcoming February 2022 issue of Grassroots Motorsports, we dive into a new series on how to machine precision parts at home. It'll open up a whole new world of making stuff for your ride.

I better get the control box figured out for my desktop CNC , it been sitting 2 years !
anyone use an Arduino board for control box ?
In reply to californiamilleghia :
You can do it with an Arduino, but there are dedicated CNC boards for cheap all over the place. A breakoutboard is like $10

It sounds like you may need a Smoothieboard. They're kind of the CNC equivalent of an Arduino.
I really do not have a lot of use for one of these, but feel that I must get one just because. The fact that it does not require a drawing for the part is the real draw.
Are you milling steel at home, or were you angle grinding aluminum?
