If you are interested in learning CNC Motion Control, buy an Arduino and a trio of Stepper Motors, make up a little 3 Axis Frame, (just Threaded Rod and Shafting), and play. You will learn a hell of a lot in a short time without damaging yourself or Equipment.

I wonder about the attrition rate of Fingers?
