Go to http://www.rrrf.org .
Check out the forums and look for threads about the McWire reprap. Reprap is a 3D modeler and not a CNC machine, but you should get an idea about the mechanics and control. They are similar. There are also a number of boards and kits for sale there.

Check out Don Lancaster's flutterwumper library: http://www.tinaja.com/flut01.asp
He likes PIC processors, but the concepts should apply equally well to arduino.
