DIY CNC milling machine

This is my first video with sound, now you can hear the 1/2 hp motor. Here I'm milling some plastic.

Thanks, It was dificult to keep the pulleys centered since they were cut in a water jet machine. when I bored them in the lathe, the center moved.

GREAT build! What power tools/machines did you use besides the lathe?

High ruawakenow

I used a lathe, milling machine, and manual tools, taps, files, etc.

Thanks

Wow, very nice build, you put it together with spare parts? Man, that is so cool! How you make the spindle...man, i apologize for my corniness, but that machine seems ingenius in it's simplicity.

Hi, Thanks.

I used comon stock parts (tubes, plate, angle, etc) to build the machine. The spindle runs on two conic roller bearings, and was made in a lathe. Some parts were built from stock, and others from scrap metal. The electronics and software is homemade also.

Hello Professor

Hello Professor, I am a student study in Berlin, and I am doing a research of the DIY CNC milling, I see your video and I know that you have made your own milling machine, so can you help me to send me some photo of your milling machine together with some information about you and your machine, thank you so much, and my email is vincentyinwencan@gmail.com

Thank you so much!

Best wishes!

Yours
