[CNC-Mill] Ep01 - Gantry Assembly

- Unfortunatly this is the first video I recorded during the build of this CNC machine because I started this channel mid-project.
No problem though, the only thing you missed is how I welded the frame and gantry construction and painted them.

Nice to see a machine made with steel weldments instead of aluminum extrusions.
Im also encountering issues with tightnening my M5 screws after I drilled and tapped my gantry railways. I believe its due to the tap being worn down so I bought a new tap set and will make a few more tapping passes to further clear the threads for the screws. With one bolt I tried to screw it with the drill really fast and even if it didnt snap, its threads got torn and useless. Also, I got some severe warping from welding, like almost 2mm sag in the middle compared to the ends over the 1m length of the gantry, its gonna be a real nightmare getting rig of that...
We are new here, we love our precision machinery and we are happy to be here at your channel and hope to get to see this entire build over time. Belt drives are fine, direct drives are fine. Your gantry bridge is really well built, liking the framing of it.
Your work is looking really nice.
Thank you for sharing Lance & Patrick.
Very nice build I’m in the middle of a 4x6 cnc router table right now thanks for sharing
That is a very nice machine. Any tips for things that you would avoid doing if you did it again?
Don't go too big. What I mean by that is don't try to make a machine that's capable of everything, it's better to invest some extra credits in regidity and better quality components than size! In my case I'm happy to have a large mill to manifacture tabletops and stuff but if you want to mill small pieces and mostly metal, build more rigid and smaller.
@@botchprojects3095 Most likely, if your cnc had been smaller and rigid, you would have longed for a larger one, at the expense of some rigidity. We are humans afterall !
I work, assembled machines with the same structure, only they have, a tank between the rails. My problem has been aligning the rails on each side, to ensure parallelism and squareness. The rails are located at a distance of 3 meters from each other. Do you know any technical and effective alignment system. Well, I do it empirically with a tensioned steel wire.
This looks really cool. Its a shame you don't record the entire build, id watch it.
How did you handle the fact that steel is bending when beeing welded / exposed to heat..? Your structure mus have warped slightly during the welding, how did you deal with this issue?
I welded everything and then poured all precision surfaces with epoxy resin to make them flat relative to each other
Cool project, looks expensive though. What's the cost so far?
nice video!! I bought the same motors.... can you explain how you install them and setup the software..
RF I think it is straight forward process. You can clearly see the installation in the videp
Good job!! where did you got these pullies? this is the biggest gantry I have seen... oh my god.. .it's huge..

Super tough cnc
