My DIY Milling Machine Part 5 

Thanks! I mean i could have done this project faster but in the middle of the project i moved closer to my job. Since my workshop now is located further away from my home i only can get some stuff done on the weekends. That's also the reason why new videos are taking so long. I really want to see your version of a diy mill!

Thank you Metalman! You are right. Time is a very big factor. Getting the mill finished took me over a year. But i do have more to come. Editing will take some time tho. Anyway, i am glad you like my content!

Thank you!

Thank you! Your forum is great. I am looking through it occasionally.

I just added my mail address to my channel description. Thank you :)

Thank you! :D

Thanks a lot. Of corse there will be new upgrades im the future. Great! I would love to see your results. If you can get a thicker walled square tube for the collumn and add some reinforcements to the inside. (Mine is 100x100mm with a thickness of 5mm i used that because i got a good deal on it). I want to reinforce mine as well and fill it up with a epoxy concrete mixture to get rid of some vibrations. But this upgrade will be done in spring next year as it is already to cold in my shop for the epoxy.

Thank you very much!

Thanks! :)

Thank you! As stated by the seller on Amazon the table itself has a meassurement of 475 x150mm. The travel distances are about 330 in X and 180 in Y. Hope this helps.

@@wastelandworkshop3839 Thanks so much!!

You are right. It's definitely worth a try. Thanks for the comment!

So rounded edge inserts are meant for big heavy mill ?

@@jw200 I would say that heavy mills fare better because they have more power. and are less prone to vibrations. Try to cut anything with a dull knife. It takes more effort. The sharper edges of inserts made for aluminium are also more fragile. They won't last long on heavy cuts or interuped cuts.

It's called oilamid (probably a trademark). This is a wear resistand plastic specifically for applications were sliding is necessary. I only used it here because i had some cutoffs on my stock shelf.

Thanks. I am currently designing a gearbox for the mill. This should also help to make the mill look nicer. Also changing speeds will be a lot faster.
