DIY Milling Machine Build [Based on Bridgeport]. Part 11: Z axis guides and carriage

Hello
Episode 11 is out. I had to make this video cover less progress due to mistake I made during building a knee of the machine.

I have seen every single video. Excellent. You have started with an angle grinder, a drilling machine and a belt grinder, and continue the build this heavy milling machine. Kudos.

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very nice work mr. A big project, but coming along nicely

[@marcinsmazik753]

Nice!

A double tariff for electricity until the end of the year is tough. But I believe that you can finish your machine. I'm watching your channel with interest. You skills with angle grinder awesome. Are your neighbors have not yet given you the nickname angle grinder man?XD

[@SteelCraft99]

Haha surprisingly my neighbours don't complain about noise or even vibrations when I'm using my power hammer.
Most probably next video will apear in the end of December

Can I ask you, why you not buy used milling machine? It's is difficult in Poland? I live in Russia, and yes, milling machine is high price, old used machine cost less and need many tools and knowledge for restore geometry of machine, but sometimes you can find old machine in good condition, but with rust on rails and other parts. I'm buying clone of Deckel G2 milling machine restore and almost finished vertical milling head for this machine from Universal 2 mini lathe, but clone of Deckel G2 have small table 400x200mm and have travels X 200mm Y 125mm Z 300mm, I sell this machine yesterday and buy used very rare Carl Hurth milling machine with table 650x230mm and travels X about 300mm Y about 125mm and Z about 200mm. This machine arrive to my workshop in next week. I pay for this machine about 260$ + about 200-220$ need pay for delivery. In Poland you have not similar purpose?

I really wanted to build one by myself ;)

@@SteelCraft99 Good luck to your build. Wait your next video!

Jeśli mogę coś doradzić, to zgodnie ze sztuką pryzmy prowadnic powinny być jeszcze zakołkowane. Śruby służą tylko do mocowania, natomiast jednoznaczne ustalenie elementów osiąga się między innymi przy pomocy kołków pasowanych w otworach na wcisk.

Wszystkie rady i sugestie są zawsze mile widziane 😅

[@ZVO1996]

Why you not use 125mm angle grinder for scraping?

[@SteelCraft99]

I switched from angle grinder to hand scraper to reduce electric bill 😅

))considering how much metal was purchased to make the machine, I don’t think this is a big problem))

[@SteelCraft99]

You have a point. Just there is some restrictions about using electric tools in my workshop I have to follow. For example Polish customers have a limited amount of kWh they can use with acceptable price, when your consumption goes above limit the price of kWh of energy goes up twice. This is difficult because even if I'm contributing to our house electric bill and then go to university, rest of family will still pay 2 time more per every kWh they used to the end of the year if the limit is reached. You know what I mean.

This is also the case with us, only the penalty is 7x the price@@SteelCraft99

​​@@davidhazi8549 In the mean time they say "go all electric" and then they set the limit
Sad reality
