CNC Control Box Upgrade

In this project, I am upgrading the CNC control Box with the new feature. As I use both Laser and Spindle so it makes hard to change function, that's why here I am adding DPDT Switch to change function from Spindle to Laser. There are two momentary switches the blue one is to turn ON/OFF the Machine and the Yellow one is to Turn ON/OFF. Also, the Laser control circuit was added to the Control Box with Cooling Fan. The LCD is for just showing the Text of my name. 

This Control Box compatible with 3018 CNC or Similar CNC Machines.

All Designing and Animation is done in Fusion360.
