Ya i agree! Im guessing a quality machine tool like that is at minimum 60k!!! Is your next project a cover for the belt and for the tool changer? Id be afraid chips would get places that they shouldn't!! Man what a BEAUTIFUL MACHINE!!!!!!
Without a doubt one of my top 3 DIY cnc builds, maybe my favorite of them all, been following this one for a long time since the castings were poured I think. This turned out is incredible man!
It is getting more and more professional! I'd suggest a metal enclosure for the control panel, a few layers of paint and you could put a price tag on it :)
The enclosure is the most important part of a milling machine, nice work! I made mine in plexiglass entirely, now is quiet and clean, i have mine inside my apartment 😁😁 I just finished my fourth axis.
Brooo as a german "Zerspaner" i have to say for the weight of this machine and the fact you build it your self this thing mills good deam amazing bro!!!! Solid machine good programm!!!! Congrats.
This is awesome! I’m currently working on a stand for my hot-rolled steel CNC mill lol. I have to move my mill to the basement from the garage so I need to make an enclosure too. It’s below freezing in the garage (or hot during the summer) which isn’t very good in terms of rust or keeping the electronics healthy.
Nice video! To have a better view through the windows when using coolant, you might add a rotary viewport. Or, even simpler, use the solution haas haas on their vf2s: just a pipe on the door where you can stick in your airblow pistol. the pipe goes through the doors and is directed at the window from the inside. When you blow air through it from the outside, this air gets directed at the window and blows it clean of any coolant.
Good job mate, really. Have you got any videos from the epoxy casting process. Its hard to get good info on that and it seems you nailed it. I'm interested in doing something similar but half the size. I got your cad from grabcad and will see how scaling it down would work, but I need a lot more info before I dive in as this will be a big project with some serious $$$$ investment.
Plssssss make a video on epoxy resin aggregate, what's the mixture and it's percentage that you use in your build, plsss highly appreciated if you make it..
Amazing work on the enclosure! sorry if I missed it in a video long ago, but where do you get the way covers from, or what could I search for to find something similar?
Replace the windows with SOLID POLYCARBONATE. It withstands impact and will not break like a stalk. All metal cutting machines and test benches are equipped with one. 4 mm. are thick enough. My machine has them.
Very nice and industrial built piece! For critic, just minors , like the way covers should be taper downwards, don't just relying on touchscreen buttons only , should has more hard key buttons, toolchanger should has cover. By the way are the way bellows and their covers were purchased and of standard sizes?
Nice work! Can't seem to find those anchors used in the epoxy bases, do you have those part numbers off hand or was that custom? Very Impressive machine, when are you mass producing? Sign me up for one!
The anchors i used are an assembly of a 3xD nut a washer bold and an normal nut. I turned down the end of the 3xD nut to make it nice and round which gives a neat look in the finished casting. No mass production of machines😆
Really nice enclosure Stef! I'm looking for inspiration for the enclosure for my CNC, would you mind sharing the CAD file of the enclosure for me to look into it? Kind Regards! Tim
be very carful using glass. i understand its tempered but that wont help protect you from a flying part or broken end mill. machine and enclosure look great tho.
There is a protection foil on the outside. Which prevent the glas from flying around. This foil also make glas more protective you should not even be able to smash tough it with a hammer. (Not tested😅)
@@Svanitterzon just makes me nervous for you when you say glass. i dont own a machine with glass in it and i can recall a few times id probably be dead if i did. my machines have safety windows, hammer blows are more likely to deform the window, not safety glass that keeps the pieces together. just looking out, sometimes we can be to smart for our own good. anyway, great job and good luck.
A little, i clean them regularly and always look during tool change if there is no dirt on it. I already have the enclosure for the atc laser cutted but still need to be welded and mounted.
@@Svanitterzon I'm sure that if the glass is clean, then the magnetic window cleaner attached, there would be a minimal risk unless you're cutting a magnetic material. Just thought it would be a good suggestion for when you want to set up a future video from outside the enclosure to help keep the glass clear of fluid/droplets/splashes. Keep up the brilliant work, your an inspiration.
Super netjes stef 👍🏻 wellicht handig een “spin window” te installeren op de deur, zodat je altijd het proces kan bekijken zonder invloed van spanen en koelvloeistof. Misschien had je dit idee al?
Ik moet zegen dat het op zich allemaal wel prima te zien is zeker via de zij ramen. in de video had ik het idee dat de camera meer focus legt op de druppels dan verder kijkt in de machine. Die spin windows geven ze ook niet weg en weet niet of het te doen is om zelf te maken.
@@Svanitterzon Zover ik weet (corrigeer mij als ik het mis heb) is het een roterende glazen schijf die d.m.v. perslucht wordt aangedreven, waardoor tevens ook spanen, vloeistoffen ect. ook (mede door centrifugaalkracht) eraf worden geblazen/gegooid. Wellicht een handige tip om even te bekijken: ua-cam.com/video/lYAnOheWHEA/v-deo.html
So after going through everything building this machine. If you go back to before the project began. Would you still build it or just buy a Haas or tormach? based off the machine itself .
Ziet er goed uit stef 💪 Ideaal als de spanen niet meer overal heen vliegen. Wat voor cad cam programma gebruik jij om je programma's te maken?. Ik heb nu zelf ook de Eding kaart binnen voor mijn retrofit beun project
@@Svanitterzon ik ga een mikron wf 21 c om bouwen, Mooie stabiele basis voor een retrofit, nu nog even wachten op de motoren van alie 🙈 ik hoop dat die chinees ze opstuurt. Als je er programma maakt, wat voor post processor moet je dan kiezen ? Of is het gewoon een iso g code programma? Ik ben er nog niet helemaal in thuis
Would you be interested in providing CNC machining services for people? Just a thought, you may have got enough on with your own projects. Nice video btw.
@@Svanitterzon Okay thanks. I am working on a 50cc twin cylinder 2-stroke racing engine. Although the design is still ongoing, I am looking at ways to make the crankcases. These split in the horizontal plane, they are approximately 411mm length, 253mm width and 252mm height. Would you need a CAM file?
@@TheHalloweenmasks interesting project you working on. I gues you see my zundapp engine project? What i need would be a Step file in order to see if its possible for me to machine the part.
Build me similar machine. You decide your profit. What do you say? Let me know if interested. Im not joking. Sent you PM on fb. must be in the request messages.
Great stainless enclosure and flood coolant Stef. Best DIY CNC mill I've ever seen.
Tnx
Ya i agree! Im guessing a quality machine tool like that is at minimum 60k!!! Is your next project a cover for the belt and for the tool changer? Id be afraid chips would get places that they shouldn't!! Man what a BEAUTIFUL MACHINE!!!!!!
This is the nicest self-built CNC setup I have seen to date. The enclosure is icing on the cake!
Thank you for the comment 😊
Yes,stainless steel, i can only build it by aluminium sheet.
Without a doubt one of my top 3 DIY cnc builds, maybe my favorite of them all, been following this one for a long time since the castings were poured I think. This turned out is incredible man!
Absolutely no one could thumbs down this video.
It is getting more and more professional! I'd suggest a metal enclosure for the control panel, a few layers of paint and you could put a price tag on it :)
Congratulations great job. A coolant mist filter will also be needed.
The enclosure is the most important part of a milling machine, nice work! I made mine in plexiglass entirely, now is quiet and clean, i have mine inside my apartment 😁😁
I just finished my fourth axis.
Yeah i just realized that its super nice to have a good enclosure.
Brooo as a german "Zerspaner" i have to say for the weight of this machine and the fact you build it your self this thing mills good deam amazing bro!!!! Solid machine good programm!!!! Congrats.
Someone is a great Metal Fabrication guy! Nice work. Even planning out the door drawer tracks. Nice work!
That cuttings sounds legit. Dampening very well. I bet its machining quality is like a $75k VMC.
YES! More videos please... so interesting!
I'm jealous of you and your machine. Not that I need anything like it. But, I wish I had the tools and space for something like this.
best cnc home build ever .. respect
Brilliant work Stef. I just watched all your videos back to back. The machine turned out fantastically!
Cheers !
Tnx nice to hear!

Thanks for the video. Good job, really neatly and solidly build. A bit noisy compared to some other machines I have seen, but I wonder why.
Its the htd belt transmission between the servo and the spindle.
Replace the windows with SOLID POLYCARBONATE. It withstands impact and will not break like a stalk. All metal cutting machines and test benches are equipped with one. 4 mm. are thick enough. My machine has them.
I choose glass because I'm afraid the lexan will scratch super fast.
@@Svanitterzon The glass will break on impact. Mine have not been scratched for 2 years, and a lot of shavings hit them.
@@Svanitterzon That's hella dangerous man. Seriously- get polycarbonate- that's a disaster waiting to happen

Kind Regards! Tim
Good job and very impressive
Thanks!
Very interesting and awesome work!
What's the coolant pump spec?
Use Mate Paint or using Putin make base with texture finish first then paint on its case... With good colour combination especially mature colours..
Wow that's a great machine. How do you like that coolant? I'm using a white coolant that's great except it obviously blocks vision of the tool.
Stef, how much did you pay per square meter of the stainless sheets and where did you buy it? Thanks.
How many you buy for this machin ? $
Great work mate
Is your controller an Eding_CNC controller?
How is the epoxy durability?
My favourite channel!
Great work stef.
There is a lot of vibration during running, what is the source of it?
You mean the shaking of the machine. I used a little too soft machine feet's so the machine is 'dancing' a little during rapid moves.
Where does the noise come from, machining process or rotating spindle ?
Its the htd belt connection that makes a lot of noice. But it's necessary for the indexing of the tool changer.
this is so next level,,, What an amazing job ! (Btw the link to grab cad doesnt work)
Tnx,. Sofar i can see the grabcad link still works.

Having any issues with chips getting on the tool holder tapers while they are in the tool changer?
A little, i clean them regularly and always look during tool change if there is no dirt on it. I already have the enclosure for the atc laser cutted but still need to be welded and mounted.
@@Svanitterzon Nice! Can't wait to see it. Great work!
very good video..thanks for your time
Sir the link is not working. Can u please update sir
You could get a few Magnetic Window Cleaners to help clear the glass.
Yeah but im afraid to scratch the glas if there is a chip stuck between the wiper.
@@Svanitterzon I'm sure that if the glass is clean, then the magnetic window cleaner attached, there would be a minimal risk unless you're cutting a magnetic material.

Amazing work! I have a question, is it capable of milling steel as well?
I did some small steel milling a while ago its capable, but 99% of what i machine is aluminium.
Stef, please don't forget this:D if u will ever want to have a brother, here i am !!! take me home with you:D
I will keep that in mind😆
Hi, Love your machine really nice. Where did you get the motor from for the spindle?

So cool. Thank you for sharing.
So after going through everything building this machine. If you go back to before the project began. Would you still build it or just buy a Haas or tormach? based off the machine itself .
Still build it my self, i never run a real machine. But the buildproces was a real rewarding process.
Having times and interesting, diy one or two, then you will learn a lot. Or buy a cheap one first, as you got more knowledge, bulid one youself.
is it cost effective to build such a beast or it's better to buy one?
nice upgrades!
Sorry to write to you from the translator))) What ingredients and in what proportions did you use to fill the frame of your machine ???
Silimix 282 with Epoxy L and gl2 harder.
@@Svanitterzon what is the aggregate epoxy ratio by weight ?
