How to build A CNC machine _ DIY CNC mill 

What kind of steel you got for the frame?

@@StudioP3D cold rolled steel

Where do you get the steel plates and frames? from i have 1600 nema stepper motors i got off ebay with controller drives for 4 axis. and a lincoln VR-350 welder i got for free. There are linear roller ways and ball screws gallore on automation overstock on sale. thats a big machine for only 4500$ thats. the cnc motors and drive are cheap on ebay. i saw a huge cincinatty hydrotel for 2780$ and its a monster. There's also explox granite DIY lathes and mills also. this would be great for my DIY 2 stroke engine project.

@@RU-vidStat I tried and failed hard ,waisting time ,money and materials. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Could you make it , for a reasonable amount ?

Thank you

And all you need to build milling machine is a milling machine.

Wow an excellent machine at such a low cost! where do you get the steel plates from?

Where do you get the steel plate from???

Glad you enjoyed it Peter

Not Acrylic..... it's polycarbonete sheet .....

Thank you!

Soon as I buy a mill, I can make a mill.

Indeed

diy_garage_tx Thank you. Spindle been great, glad I spend some $ on it.

I am doing some testing on more cutting and drilling. Will post video soon. Thx for comment

Scotty? Give us some more speed! G’dammit that’s all we’ve got captain! MORE SPEED SCOTTY!

The spindle is sweet, but 2 or 3 grand. Just to start. Considering how much mills cost...i guess you could make it exactly how you want it.

@@robertraderjr6714 2 or 3 grand just for the spindle? Probably more like around €1000 and that's including the spindle head, spindle motor, and the entire Z-axis assembly. You can get multi-KW spindle motors from China pretty cheaply these days, and the same goes for all the parts needed to make and power each axis.

I have run it as low as 1200Rpm for 1/4 drill

Thank you.

agree - that's some outlandish martial art skills that would make Mr. Spock look bleak

Go for it!

Thank you !

I must confess, I was also lusting after another man's CNC milling machine !!! I'm soooo ashamed !!! Maybe if we pray hard enough, Jesus will give us such beautiful milling machines too !!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Exactly

absolutely..lol

Thank you

I will do that.

No hugs during this pandemic.. cara

Thank you.

Not to discredit this guy's awesome work, but so say it's ultra high standard and the best one around is exaggerated. It lacks the mass needed for damping which a professional (CNC) mill has, this mill probably weighs several hundred kilo while you want something of at least 800-100 kg, preferably even more. Also, it would have been much better to make it out of epoxy granite or UHPC instead of a welded steel frame, not just because using either epoxy granite or UHPC is a great way to add a lot of weight to it for damping but especially because they're very suitable materials due to their dampening characteristics. But most of the reason you don't want to make it from a heavy welded steel frame is because unless you stress relieve said frame it's going to have substantial stresses from the welding which will negatively affect its accuracy and is bound to warp once pressure is applied to it (which is precisely what happens during use). All in all it's a great build and very impressive, don't get me wrong! And it will definitely be able to go through aluminium and even steel with plenty of ease, at decent accuracy too. Just wanted to point out important facts and details.

Thank you

Thank you Keith!

Thank you.

Thx Robert. I was worry about having only 4 slider on each axis too thar is why I used very thick plated to attached them to rails as these slider have very high load capacity so far I haven’t see any problem. Glad you like the video.

Thx. Go for your build it works great.
