My biggest complaint with it is that it wasn't advertised as a step by
step guide to building a CNC woodworking router (if it had been I
wouldn't have bought it). Re-reading the blurb now after having read the
book, I can see where I should have read between the lines and guessed
what it was really about, but the first time I read it I was taken in by
the hyperbole. The blurb seems to imply that more than one kind of
machine is covered, including ones that are useful for metalwork. It
also includes the words "A complete course in workshop bot design and
construction" which is clearly untrue. Probably the publisher's fault,
not the author's. Ironically I suspect somebody who actually wanted step
by step instructions for building a DIY CNC woodworking router would be
equally confused by the title and the blurb.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer
