The hardware is the tough part, it has to be well made, sturdy and precise, this usually means $$. If you only want to drill and not do any kind of milling, it gets easier. The rest is easy, use a CAD program that outputs a drill file and load that into the CNC software, TurboCNC is a common one that you can download for free.
