Section 2. Materials Needed - MAKER MADE Standard Frame Setup Manual

ASSEMBLING THE STANDARD FRAME
The biggest step to starting your M2 CNC adventure is to build the frame that will
hold your material and the M2 while it cuts. The M2 mounts for your frame are
included, but you will need to purchase the following from a local hardware store
to build the standard frame to cut 4ft x 8ft.
Drew's Note: We recommend reading this entire section before beginning.

Drew's Note: Nearly every step uses
wood screws. So, I'm going to leave the bag picture out of the
steps for redundancy's sake. Just know that you'll need a lot
of short and long wood screws are from Bags C and D (and
some extras). If you're experienced with woodworking, feel
free to use any wood screw of your choice to build the frame.
