Hey, I’m Jon from CNCROi.com — where I turn raw materials into custom CNC projects. From laser engraving and CNC routing to plasma cutting and welding, I show you what really goes into making cool stuff from wood, metal, plastic, and composites.
This channel is all about the fun of CNCs from design to finished product. It’s real work with real machines — CO₂ and fiber lasers, CNC routers, plasma cutters, waterjets, and welding etc.
I also wrote “Mastering CNC & Digital Fabrication” — a book based on years of shop experience (and mistakes).

Been watching my CNC and fabrication videos for a while?
Ready to go beyond the screen and seriously level up?
This book was written for you.
Hi, I’m the guy behind CNCROi.com and this channel.
After years of sharing CNC tips, machine walkthroughs, project breakdowns, and hard-earned lessons here on YouTube, I’ve finally packed it all into one place:
Mastering CNC and Digital Fabrication — your no-nonsense guide to the real world of custom manufacturing.
If you’ve ever thought:
“Man, I wish I had a reference for all this stuff Jonathan talks about...”
Now you do.
This isn’t theory. It’s shop-floor reality.
From CNC routers and lasers to waterjets, 3D printers, plasma cutters, welding, and automation — this book gives you the why and how behind the work, not just the flashy results.
What you’ll get:
How to design with fabrication in mind (because it never prints, cuts, or mills the way CAD says it will)
Material selection tips that save time, money, and sanity
A breakdown of the machines you’ve seen on this channel: CO₂ vs. fiber, gantry vs. galvo, FDM vs. resin, and more
Tricks for faster turnarounds, tighter tolerances, and fewer screw-ups
Smart workflow ideas for combining machines and processes
Honest talk about automation, AI, and the future of the trade
You’ve seen the projects. Now learn the thinking, planning, and problem-solving behind them.
Why this book stands out:
15 jam-packed chapters covering every major CNC and digital fabrication discipline
Real-world examples (yep, including Arctic Code Vaults and massive door engravings)
Quizzes and cheat sheets to reinforce your learning
A glossary that explains shop talk without the gatekeeping
Perfect for:
Long-time viewers ready to get hands-on or open their own shop
Creators and makers wanting to improve their workflow and results
Educators and engineers who want real-world context behind the tools
Anyone serious about understanding why things work the way they do in fabrication
This isn’t a manual. It’s three decades of hard-won experience — from daily grind to passion projects — written for my son, Simon… and for everyone who’s learned alongside me through the lens of a camera.
Get it now while the launch price is still live
It’s going up soon — and trust me, you want your margins, not your tolerances, getting tighter.
