Hi, on my RU-vid channel I regularly show you everything about my hobbies. Here you can see various information about my milling machine, design / production of parts and much more about metalworking. Other topics such as electronics will also appear from time to time. These videos should simply be interesting for you and they will certainly help some of you to achieve better milling results.
I already have another channel where I posted similar videos in German. There are more videos available that I made before I started this English channel. So they are only in German but maybe they are also interesting for you!
Good sir - Your channel might not be very big for whatever reason, but I can truly appreciate the sheer level of talent and skill involved in what you've accomplished here and otherwise. Most people sadly aren't enlightened enough to comprehend just how freaking impressive this actually is in practice. Major props, subscribtion well earned.
i not understand have you closed loop stepper motors, my machine have open loop, stepper same size but not can run fast all axis lose steps, maximum about 900mm/min 1000mm lose steps lot. i run motors 40V 3A. DM 556 drivers. linuxcnc 2,8,4 version. spindle not good , only 800W aircooled. ER16
Wow, this turned out amazing! VERY inspiring indeed. With all of the painstaking precision you put into this what kinds of parts and projects are you planning? OR was this the project in itself?
You've inspired me to build a concrete / epoxy granite CNC. I had a really crappy thing made out of wood that was more or less useless ("Bob's CNC"). I knew nothing about CNC when I bought the kit, no experience. I fiddled with that damn thing for days trying to carve a simple circuit board with big traces for a Tesla coil project. I ended up carving it by hand with a Dremel and it turned out better in 1/4 of the time I spent fiddling with the "cnc". I have been studying up on metrology, scraping lapping etc., and acquiring some decent starter tools. I just got a cheap chinese mini lathe, that will be my first project to improve to whatever accuracy I can get and learn from. I have a "Sieg" X2D mini mill from Little Machine Shop on the way to fiddle with for a while as well. I think these will be a good learning foundation and provide the ability to make some working parts and fixtures for a precision CNC milling machine later on. Then I can use that to create better parts for it, and then also build a concrete/ epoxy granite precision lathe. I make optical parts for my planetarium hobby and it's getting to the point where I need much more precision and I don't think I'll get lucky and have a used Haas VF-2 cross my path at anything I could possibly afford.
Hi Alex, a new video showing the accuracy/tolerances achievable with the machine is highly appreciated. Since the machine is now two years (or more) old and you used a UHPC, some information on shrinking/cracking/etc which is usually present in concrete based VMC's is very valuable to the community.
I am very interested in calipers and how to get accurate measurement of watch crystals. Experts recommend taking a few measurements to be sure. But if the arms of the caliper can only measure the diameter, then why aren't all the measurements exactly the same? (This question is because I am having difficulty with using the calipers.) Thanks!
Wow, finally someone talking about the leveling problems they are having, and how crazy it actually is to get these things corrected. Thank you for this video, as I am having the same problems with my lathe build, and all of the videos out there doing these builds make them look so simple, but it really isn't when it comes to the fine tuning and leveling... Huge pain in the ass!
Hello! Serious project! Is the information private? What concrete or mixture did you use to make the machine bed? Have you noticed any deformations or changes in the geometry of the machine over time?
Hi Alex, nice machine you build there. may i know the detail of servo motor used for the spindle is ?and what is the maximum speed you get with your spindle...thank you
Nice. I like the idea with making the electrical cabinet with aluminium extrusions and flat plates so you dont have to bend the thick aluminium plates.
Сказать, что работа отличная; ничего не сказать - эта работа образец того как техническое творчество превращается в высокое искусство, пробуждающее, не менее высокие духовные чувства!
Hallo ! Is there a way to reuse all the acrylic shavings? Like maybe heat them all together? Also, do you use Novus polishing for scratches and renewal on your acrylic pieces? Or something more effective? Thank you 🇩🇪
Amazing! I gotta go back and watch your previous build videos. Hope you get some more content out there soon. Are you planning on doing flood cooling at some point?
I followed the whole series, perfect work and high accuracy. How long did the work take and how much was the cost there is no doubt that you made a very big effort
Some things are beyond reason or practicality !! They are born from emotion and a thirst for knowledge.. Anyone with enough money can pay £30.000 for a machine , but then it’s “just a machine “….. “Bernard”. Is a thing of beauty..💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
