A CNC Router is a router that is controlled by Computer Numeric Control. This is a machine that gets programmed by a person in a computer, and the router "reads" what the computer says and operates in the manner a computer tells it to. For example, I could write in the computer:
G01 X6.000 F1.0

This tells it to cut on a horizontal path(X- which is left to right or right to left) 6" long and move at 1" per minute. So for every minute that goes by, the router cuts 1" of material, up to 6 inches.

If it said G01 Y6.000 F1.0, it would mean the same, except the "Y" tells it to move 6" towards or away from you. The "F" means feedrate, or how fast it is cutting.

If it said G01 Z6.000 F1.0, it would mean it would cut up or down for 6" at 1" per minute. Hope This Helps.

I was going to make a stepper motor controller board for the CNC but I noticed that the motors are NOT servo motors instead they are hobby motors(the motors with two wires) So is there a schematic anyone knows of that controls a hobby motor with a parallel port? I WILL PICK A BEST ANSWER!!! thank you!

Servo motors are dc(or ac) motors with a encoder feedback. so they have 2 wires + the encoder (4 to 6)
Steppers have 4+ wires.

Cd drives don’t use steppers or servos so i know you can’t be using any of them. Don’t waste your time hunting for parts and schematics just order a kit from http://www.hobbycnc.com/ or look for others. If you want this router to work at all you need micro stepping and cheap easy plans don’t offer this. The plans that do end up costing a lot in parts so it’s better to just buy a kit.

If you have money you can get good controllers from rutex and gecko drives.

Importantly, I need the surface to end up quite rough e.g the type of rough cut surface you would get from cutting some wood using a circular saw (but without any machining marks). Which router blade should I use to achieve this? Or is it more a case of reducing the router cutting speed. Whenever I have used a router to cut wood, the cut surfaces have been left quite smooth.
The cut top surface of the wood needs to have no machining marks. This is the main reason why I’m considering using a router. When I have cut wood using a circular saw, I really like the slightly rough texture and look but unfortunately you also get faint machining marks which I don’t want.

I have tried planing but it leaves the wood too smooth.

I think you have set yourself an impossible task. Unless the CNC Router is your own, I can’t imagine any company willingly using inferior grade tooling in their machine to try and produce a surface finish akin to a circular saw without the saw marks. I can think of only two ways you might achieve such a finish.

Firstly try to buy the wood direct from a lumber yard. Wood that has been planed on both sides and then returned to storage would have a raised grain when sold. Alder would be a perfect example of this.

Secondly you might try re-sawing it on a bandsaw, with a wide blade and the correct feed speed you might achieve a rough finish with out the tool marks.

Having seen a number of your questions on this or related subjects I am intrigued to know just exactly what it is you are trying to make.

These will eventually be molded, but for now I need components to be routed from plastic by a CNC Router. What kind of company should I look for to provide such a service?

Check around for local machine shops.

Maybe try getting a few quotes.

CNC Router & CNC Mill generaly categorised depend up on the material on which it used for machining.CNC Router is meant for Wood,Plastic,Composites,Non-ferrous materials etc…,CNC Mill meant for Machining Ferrous Materials.For More information on CNC Router visit website http://www.cncrouter.info
