Unfortunately I don’t have usable Cad drawing for this machine. Maybe next one
What kind of steel you got for the frame?
@@StudioP3D cold rolled steel
Where do you get the steel plates and frames? from i have 1600 nema stepper motors i got off ebay with controller drives for 4 axis. and a lincoln VR-350 welder i got for free. There are linear roller ways and ball screws gallore on automation overstock on sale. thats a big machine for only 4500$ thats. the cnc motors and drive are cheap on ebay. i saw a huge cincinatty hydrotel for 2780$ and its a monster. There's also explox granite DIY lathes and mills also. this would be great for my DIY 2 stroke engine project.
@@UA-camStat I tried and failed hard ,waisting time ,money and materials.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Could you make it , for a reasonable amount ?
Now THIS is a "home made" CNC Mill that is beyond impressive. I can't believe you fit all this in under $5K, bravo sir!
Thank you
And all you need to build milling machine is a milling machine.
What a treat this was. Great work! The craftmanship the ingenuity the humor, simply fantastic!
No other word can describe this build... GENIUS !!!!
What an impressive build! I can’t believe how awesome it turned out!
ToT has trained you well in the art of metal cutting by hand. Awesome job sir!
Brian J
And how to mix spices to make metal milling work correctly!
Great job on the CNC build and I love the structural methodology you used. When I 1st saw your video image, I had to take a double take, on how similar your build is to the one I built, right down to the doors and handles :). Upon watching the whole video, your is much more robust, very impressed. Thanks for sharing.
Wow an excellent machine at such a low cost! where do you get the steel plates from?
Clean, Organized and skilled workmanship! Excellent DIY CNC mill video!!
Great job!! Incredible job !!!!! I envy you because you have enough time to build a high precision machine like this !!! My sincere respect!!!!
Respect, respect and respect again. Incredible job. Thank you for showing us.
Where do you get the steel plate from???
OMG!!! I love the bandaid move!
It's just fantastic! I call this - capital construction in the machine tool industry for centuries! How nice it was to be inspired by your video - I was given the energy of measured and meaningful steps in the process. Plus a great sense of humor! Good luck! Konstantin, Ukraine
Is the best CNC home made mill i ever seen !!! Congratulations AMIGO !! Felicidades por tu proyecto !!
Outstanding, she’s absolutely beautiful!!!
Wow Vince--that is amazing craftsmanship! Good for you! That must have taken a long time to build based on the care and precision you exhibit.
That´s the right way, to build a own CNC maschine ! Greeting from Germany
Absolutely amazing! I've designed one myself, and it's nearly identical to yours. I'm not kidding... I have the 3d CAD file predated to prove it! No worries... No one but myself had ever seen my design. It's just crazy how much you and I think alike.
What a great video ended up watching the entire thing in one go great machine really good looking Project thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it Peter
Now the Enclosure needs an acrylic roof and some magnets so the Doors will snap together and in place when closing :)
Awesome build!
Not Acrylic.....
it's polycarbonete sheet .....
I loved it!!! Great video!!! I incredibly enjoyed watching you build this.
Well done Sir! Thank you for taking the time to share and inspire others as well. I'm finding it distressingly rare for people to have a long range plan like yours and follow through with the build. Very few of us left perhaps(?) I hope not. Thank you again.
Thank you!
[Epic] build..... i want one, or two, yesterday
Amazing, great work! I hope to one day do a build like this! Inspiring!
Soon as I buy a mill, I can make a mill.
Thanks for sharing your impeccable skills. Your video spoke volumes!!
I am a Swedish CNC technician. So fun to see how you build. It's noticeable that you know exactly what you're doing!
Thank you.
Very nice. Thought mine was heavy duty, but yours is another level. Although to be fair mine is a router, yours is a mill.
Indeed
That spindle looks sweet, have you tried it at lower speeds, like how does it do drilling a 3/8 in steel? Thanks!
I am doing some testing on more cutting and drilling. Will post video soon. Thx for comment
Scotty? Give us some more speed! G’dammit that’s all we’ve got captain!
MORE SPEED SCOTTY!
The spindle is sweet, but 2 or 3 grand. Just to start. Considering how much mills cost...i guess you could make it exactly how you want it.
@@robertraderjr6714 2 or 3 grand just for the spindle? Probably more like around €1000 and that's including the spindle head, spindle motor, and the entire Z-axis assembly. You can get multi-KW spindle motors from China pretty cheaply these days, and the same goes for all the parts needed to make and power each axis.
I have run it as low as 1200Rpm for 1/4 drill
Not gonna lie, this video gave me hope that I could build my own cnc machine as well. Thank you for the post. I really like how you did it! Very impressed!
Go for it!
The first video i see from an REAL vibrations free Home made CNC... NIce !!
This is next level - I have some competition!
Cool, very cool.
Hi from Russia=)
IMPRESSIVE DOING THIS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE!
THANK YOU!
YOU HAVE GREAT SKILLS!
I watched the whole thing, twice. lol. Good work, looks like it runs smooth. I saw that spindle and first thought was that it wasn't cheap - didn't disappoint. Keep up the good work, time to go watch the other videos now!
diy_garage_tx Thank you. Spindle been great, glad I spend some $ on it.
This is a work of art!
28:02 - That is some serious human-machine lovin right there :D
What a lot of work! Great job and thanks for the video.
Awesome! Best DYI cnc I've ever seen on the internet.
Thank you !
Достойная сборка!!!!
This is infinitely impressive!
At 1930 when you’re showing the raw z axis gantry... lol wow. Rise of the machines. Loved this video.
Wow, great build. Well done! Thanks for sharing
[17:40] Somebody took kung fu lessons from This Old Tony. Love it. Great video.
agree - that's some outlandish martial art skills that would make Mr. Spock look bleak
The home machinists paradox: you need to have a CNC to make a CNC... :D
Un progetto ECCEZIONALE!!!!! Bravissimo!
it's gorgeous !!! a work of art !
It's gorgeous !!!
You could probably make a bit of side ca$h $elling plans for that machine...
I know you already replied to someone on this thread that you didn't bother with extremely detailed prints/files, but if you went back and did that, you'd probably have half a dozen, to a dozen cu$tomer$ , judging solely from the interest shown in this video and it's thread alone...
it seems to me that you know what you're doing
Amazing build. I'm so envious! Great work!
Ok. I swear I'm gonna let you build one for me. LOL! Truly fantastic work.
37:14 looks more like part pull up.not crash it was workholding problem xD
Вау ! Уважаемый ! Ты просто ранишь воображение !!!! Это эмоции Колоссальная робота Вот что значит: МУЖИК задумал - МУЖИК -воплотил Мои наилучшие пожелания Творческих успехов и свершений !
nice, very nice. In the late 70's I worked at a place that built automated welding machinery for the automotive industry, All relay technology before computers. We machined parts the old fashion way like this with over engineering to last for ever. tolerances .005 now .tenth of a thousand. Good to see someone still has those skills
Thank you
I know it's a sin, but damn I'm envious!!
I must confess, I was also lusting after another man's CNC milling machine !!!
I'm soooo ashamed !!!
Maybe if we pray hard enough, Jesus will give us such beautiful milling machines too !!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Video about: "how to make a cnc milling machine if you have a cnc milling machine factory in your garage"
Exactly
Just brilliant!
Although you managed to build it on your own and save a ton of cash, it shows, to me anyway, the engineering goes into the TOP end machines!
This is what you get when you have a true machinist at work, Awesome wish i had half the skills
Thank you Keith!
So you needed a mill to make a mill, lol
absolutely..lol
great build wonderful work, many thx for sharing your knowledge with us
This is pretty amazing. I think the counterweight is genius for the Z travel. Bravo Vince
Thank you
great skill set, awesome to watch, thanks!
Thanks
I am from Syria🇸🇾 big thanks🌷
Super clean build here! If only I had your resources!
Im so admirative seeing this wonderfull job!
Ilmu beladiri belah besinya hebat , buat millingnya bagus 👍👍👍👍👍
Great Project. awesome cnc mill. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work! Fine job! Congrats buddy
Great brother your work is really praiseworthy,,
And a great Sense of humor.
Hugs from Brazil
No hugs during this pandemic.. cara
NICE! love watching that build. awesome.
There’s only one way to build a cnc, this way! Great Job!
Thank you
When I saw the precision and the professional tools that went into building this thing, I decided to buy a cheap Chinese one to match my skills.
Outstanding skill. Loved it.
Excellent skills man, Go on show off it's your time now....well done...gona give mine a go soon Thanks for Vid
Oh My god....... That craftsmanship is seriously incredible.......... Only 44k views ..............
thank you so much for your masterpiece. well done
Nice video and great craftsmanship!
Well, nobody can say you're lazy...
Great work, and a nice result :)
Lovely machine, I wish one day i'll have some place and money to build similar one :)
That thing cuts like butter! If my design is as close to yours as I think, mine will do as good. Man... You really know how to dial in that sweet spot on feeds, and speeds. You're not afraid to take a good sized bite on your cuts too. Your machine runs just as good as a Haas, or a Fadal. Nice solid build on all of your axii.
Thx. Go for your build it works great.
Great Project, congratulations!
Vince You are awesome. Very creative.
Admirable work from design to finishing! Accuracy/Precision are professionally ensured. High quality materials. Probably aviation industry high standards compliant. It's the best built CNC machine around! It deserves its price certainly. A true jewel. Thank you for the entertainment. As instructive as entertaining btw.
Thank you.
Not to discredit this guy's awesome work, but so say it's ultra high standard and the best one around is exaggerated. It lacks the mass needed for damping which a professional (CNC) mill has, this mill probably weighs several hundred kilo while you want something of at least 800-100 kg, preferably even more. Also, it would have been much better to make it out of epoxy granite or UHPC instead of a welded steel frame, not just because using either epoxy granite or UHPC is a great way to add a lot of weight to it for damping but especially because they're very suitable materials due to their dampening characteristics. But most of the reason you don't want to make it from a heavy welded steel frame is because unless you stress relieve said frame it's going to have substantial stresses from the welding which will negatively affect its accuracy and is bound to warp once pressure is applied to it (which is precisely what happens during use).
All in all it's a great build and very impressive, don't get me wrong! And it will definitely be able to go through aluminium and even steel with plenty of ease, at decent accuracy too. Just wanted to point out important facts and details.
great work, beautiful machine
Watching it cut for the first time what a beast.
Un artista , GRANDE , Gracias por compartir , tus conocimientos , de mecanizado , admiro tu sencillez , viendo todo lo que sabes de condiciones de corte , y puesta a punto de maquinas , mucho control , sabes lo que quieres , lo complicado , lo haces sencillo, ese don solo lo poseen unos pocos, muy GRANDE
Excellent build very durable !
that is the nicest damn build I've seen so far on YT. I wish I had a Bridgeport mill to make the parts. I'd start tomorrow if I had the equipment. NICE BUILD, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!
Awesome handmade work!
Wonderful job, congratulations!
nice
we are now going to make same machine from old milling machine with some modification thanks for video
Wow! that is proper! Awesome job
Human is became MACHINE.
Very impressive !
absolutley awesome, mad skills , hope to see more chips flying in the future
Thank you.
Nice build and great video. Watched the whole thing.
wow thats fricken amazing !! i use to run Mazaks lathes and millers my hats off to you all i can say
Ein echtes Meisterwerk! Das ist wirklich eine wunderbare Maschine 👍
Insane! That is so cool. Well done.
Amazing! You would think getting a good sturdy mill then fixing and retrofitting it would be the way to go . But building the base, saddle, and Z column and the rest is awesome! 500 hours and 4500 dollars? Not sure what way I would go! Labor of love is always nice when you have the time though.
THAT is a handsome CNC.
IMPRESSIVE...WOW...Nice, Nice, Nice Job!!!
