8:30 That feeling of a tight tolerance never gets old! I can run prototypes all day and even on through-holes I find my self covering one end with my hand and making it do the "pop" 😁
Absolutely amazing to watch a man with such skill. The tolerances he achieves is commendable. I would like to know how many hours are condensed into the short clips we see.
I love your channel content, they're all awesome projects that remind me of the "Model Engineer" magazine contents. it's also cool that you also wear the best shirts in your shop.
Michel, another terrific instalment, Congrats!! Your "quad screw" idea for the swivel action has also provided me with a viable solution for my FF 230 Mill, Thank you!
Hi Colin 😊 thanks! Oh.. of course.. The FF 230 has the same problem of course. I think it's best to rebuild that quill and column saddle completely in steel.
If you discover the motor needs a fan, just 3D print a muffin fan mount for the top, and it will run at full speed. You could also add a switch to operate it when necessary. Nice built Michel.
Very nice Work Michel, its turning out to be a great little mill which will be a fitting complement to your other machines. Thanks for the journey thus far.
@@Michel-Uphoff I was pleased with the music "Má vlast - Vltava" while watching the pair. Dvořák is from my native country. Overall a very nice selection of music. 👌👍
Very exciting .... what a build! Enjoyed the music from Iron Butterfly "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" very much! Looking forward to successful conclusion of the project in next video. I'm worried about the collet chuck adapter onto that 15K rpm motor - a very critical part! Hope it will be good! Thanks for sharing ...
your work is of top notch. Why not make this beautiful micro mill cnc? Keep up the good work. you have a beautiful grand child. protect her with all you have.
Congratulations Michel!! Really great build and design. I'm interested in how the "quill" works out for you as I have been toying with the exact same idea for my Sherline mill.
First of all, i really like your channel, and your meticulous work, it's a pleasure to watch. There is a variant of the brushless spindle with an ER 11 collet as the shaft itself (not as a separate attachementas you have), i was wondering why you didn't go for that, i'm thinking it might have less runout
Thank you 🙂 The reasons why I didn't opted for that: 1: ER11 is simply too small (max 8 mm oversized 10 mm) , I want ER16 (max 10 mm, oversized 12 mm). ER16 fits the speed and the max 500W power of this motor much better) 2: I don't want a collet chuck mounted directly on the shaft. That shaft is only 8 mm in diameter, actually much too thin for this power. I would have much preferred a 12 mm or even thicker shaft, but that was not available in this price range. 3: I have come up with a solution for this, which brings much more rigidity to the business end. I have the runout under control myself and when when I work accurately there should not be a problem. Next video more I hope.
Excellent design of the locking mechanism! Have you considered using a tapered pin to easily establish the 90 degree position? I am thinking of the kind with an inner thread, that can be pulled with a sliding hammer.
I have considered that, but I plan to take a slightly different approach for the 90 degree locking mechanism and the tilt angle. Those way too small protractors you see on hobby machines are worthless. At best, they give you one degree of accuracy, which is far too coarse for my work. Most don't even have a locking mechanism. Spoiler alert: This is where the flat surfaces on my column saddle and quill come in handy for locking and precise adjustment of the angle. Next video maybe, but *after* I have measured and, if necessary, adjusted any deviations.
No technical comment, but awesome song! Nah, maybe something technical... These cooling fans are most of the time some kind of decoration, at least on low motor speeds. There are lots of retro fit 3d-printed models (intervention protection included) on common platforms. These models are often a lot more efficient, on lower RPMs, too. Sometimes open source is awesome :)
Nice work! Thanks for the video. Could you share some info to identify motor you applied? Waiting for first run and сheck the accuracy and rigidity of the mill.
Can't find my exact type anymore. But is is very close to this one: nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002967850804.html Mine had no power supply, clamp, ER collet, and a maximum of 15.000 rpm. It costed € 80 and the controller is the same as in the link.
Can't find my exact type anymore. But it is very close to this 12000 rpm one: nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002967850804.html Mine had no power supply, clamp, ER collet, and a maximum of 15000 rpm. It costed € 80 and the controller is the same as in the link.

You mean the Y axis. Why would you want to do that? It complicates the build, and a bearing hole weakens the column. And if some wear occurs over time, causing the saddle to shift to the right, the lead screw will get stuck. There are no advantages, as far as I can see.
You going to sell these? I think you definitely should because i just sold my x2, tho it was much nicer than when i purchased it, im missing mine and thid is the perfect size.
Lovely work, as always. Glad we get to wait to see ‘chips’, it means another episode! Thank you. BTW, just speaking personally, I can live without the music (of any sort) it just acts as a distraction and I want to concentrate on what you’re doing. Les 🇬🇧
I found it at AliExpress, but I see it isn't available at the moment. I've seen the 12k rpm motor, it seems to me almost the same. You could try to search for an even faster and somewhat less powerful one. Mine is 500W max, which is a lot for such a small machine, 300 W will do.
How did you put the tube frame together? It doesn't seem like it's welded, but I also don't see any transition between clamps and complete and painted frame.
See ua-cam.com/video/ZfO0BBXhcMM/v-deo.htmlsi=QqOAdQOuPzYAuPM3&t=892 After I filed the corners to 45 degrees, I simply folded this tube into a rectangle. There are gaps, but they are very narrow and almost invisible. I did connect the ends of the tube with two countersunk bolts and a piece of aluminum. You can see it in the link at the top right.
@@Michel-Uphoff Ah, I see, thank you. I'd generally appreciate more detail on how things are put together in your videos. I'll happily trade some of the footage of optical punching all 6 holes on a part for less of "I made this adjustment mechanism off camera" :)
Hallo Michael. Ich vermisse Pass- oder Kegelstifte in Deiner Konstruktion. Die Teile nur durch Schrauben genau zu positionieren ist nicht fachmännisch. 🤐
Nice little machine, I look forward to seeing chips fly 👍

Another great video. How did you secure the corners of the box frame you cut the notches on? Thank you.
I didn't do that, just bent the tube and bolted the two ends together using a piece of scrap aluminium.
@@Michel-Uphoff See that is why you are the master. I would have spent hours figuring out a poor way to secure it all. Lol
Only thing id probably changed is the x axis lead screw so its heald on in the back with a bearing on the end into the column. But that's just me.
You mean the Y axis. Why would you want to do that? It complicates the build, and a bearing hole weakens the column. And if some wear occurs over time, causing the saddle to shift to the right, the lead screw will get stuck. There are no advantages, as far as I can see.
