Ca Lem .... I truly admire your skills. Not many machinists (or any others for that matter) have your persistence and abilities. Thank you for this wonderful presentation. I am proud to be one of your viewers.
Next it's CAD and CAM licensing, flood coolant and air assist, automatic tool changer, etc.! It looks like you have a fine machine that you've done an exceptional job restoring and putting together. I must say, it's very impressive! Thank you for sharing your exceptional work!
Opening with your mistakes is brilliant. You are so skilled and talented that seeing you are in fact human, and clearly humble, is wonderful. Thank you.
You are Sir: utterly amazing! For any other UA-camr this would have been a 10-15 part, 45 min. each series of posts, 3 alone for the sheet metal work! But somehow you still get so much important detail into 19.19 minutes. You are a Master.
Calem you sir are a genius from what you started with , and what this mill has turned into is an outstanding achievement. I certainly will be looking forward to your future videos with this machine
Very nice job! Glad to see you posting and engaging in this sort of work after the explanation video you posted a while ago, regarding your situation and the rest of your concerns... Your work always pleases me and is highly inspiring... Those scraped surfaces worked with stones give off the Robin Renz flashbacks, when he showed that moore crescent scraping of lab grade, sure, he is a benchmark, a standard setter and a goal keeper with his quality of work, but i can see the quality and effort akin to his, that went into those scraped surfaces... You have my highest regards and commendation - dear friend! All the best, Steuss
Ca lem gentleman your milling machine was spectacular I congratulate you, hopefully you continue making more videos with the milling machine, greetings from Colombia
Хороший фрезер. Поздравляю с приобретением. У тебя как всегда всё на высоте, всё с точностью до миллиметра. Очень интересно смотреть твои видео. 👍 Будь здоров и удачи тебе.
Awesome as usual Ca Lem! A tip for stripe painting; after masking, paint over the tape with the base colour first, then do the 2nd colour, bleed will be of the base colour only. Cheers
My soul left my body momentarily when you plunge cut using an end mill directly into your table, but don't worry, I'm still subscribed and have notifications on.
Cà Lem, I, among many others, really admire you for your amazing attitude, skills, and never give up approach! Thank you sooooooo much for continuing on and sharing your machining adventures with the rest of us! Massive kudos, buddy!!! :)
looking and working great! I've had my share of z axis crashes. A fulltime cnc guy where i worked pointed out that no matter how big the E stop button is or where its located it;s too small and too far away to save the day.
Great video as usual, the crashes at the begining brought back some memories 😢. A few tips as you start: try to stay in the 1/8 to 1/4in (3 to 6mm) range end mill for this power and spindle speed. If you need to engrave, brass is easier. Consider building a complete enclosure - CNC are messy and more importantly watch your CAM toolpath, you have a lot of tool pressure on your ring example when stepping to the next ring.
I gotta say this to you Ca lem, your fake is better then most people’s real! And dont ever doubt that, the only person you compare yourself to is yourself and that is why you will never stop growing, learning and developing your skillset. Every mistake is a lesson learned to temper your “metal”. I look up to you and that is a fact!
Greta to see you are doing well. Beautiful and inspiring results (including all those actions you may have felt were a failure or less than perfect) 👍👍😎👍👍 You continue to be a machining hero of mine ...... always doing your best to improve.
you know, i was just noting the detail work on the chip guard corner brackets, and admiring the work, But, what really catches my eye is the *thought process* and attention to every detail...
Great job! Respect! Greetings from Serbia, part of former Yugoslavia (but you are young and probably don't know) . Wish I still live in socialistic or communistic country. Believe me it was much better before.
I have to agree with that final statement calling it a success. Oh, and a wiser man than me once said. "Computers don't do what you want them to do. They do what you tell them to do. Always check your code"
Turned out amazing! I like the way you did the chip guards, gave me some ideas for my machine. How do you like that CNC controller? I had not seen those before. They look like nice units.
Backlash likely is from bad ballscrews. If the control supports it, I'd install linear scales, that somewhat solves most issues with old/worn/bad ballscrews.
Fantastic job with this build. Is it closed loop control? I see some end stops, but no linear scales on axis. Also how rigid tapping works. Is there some encoder on a spindle? One way or another looks great.
The most inspiring thing about watching your videos is remembering that you are completely self taught.

I'd call that a success as well! The yellow stripes around the motors is a nice touch.
Ca lem gentleman your milling machine was spectacular I congratulate you, hopefully you continue making more videos with the milling machine, greetings from Colombia
Babe wake up, ca lem just posted a new video
You just won an oscar bro 😅
Clicked the likey button before playing it 😅
Congrats on advancing your shop and successfully finishing this titanic job!
Another well built machine Ca Lem, wishing you all the best.

Awesome. Thanks alot for this trick😊
Your ingenuity and craftsmanship always impress me! I'm always happy to see another video from you.
More excellent workmanship from you young master 👍
Always be a learner! We could learn so very much from you.
I hope these words encourage you!
My soul left my body momentarily when you plunge cut using an end mill directly into your table, but don't worry, I'm still subscribed and have notifications on.
Gday, mission accomplished, massive job and you nailed it, cheers
Thanks for sharing your awesome work! Looking forward to future projects using this CNC upgrade!
Can't wait to see what you create on this lovely project 👍🏼
Kickass. I'm also converting an old mill to CNC, so I've appreciated this series a lot.
Your skills have no limit very impressive as always
You are a pro 🙂
What you make
You make it like a pro 👍
I am inspired already.
Good outcome of a huge effort. I don't think there is anything you cannot do.
Awesome build! And the fact you used a bespoke cnc controller and not just stupid mach or linux cnc is even better! Looks professional!
Speechless! you are truly an inspiration!
Cà Lem, I, among many others, really admire you for your amazing attitude, skills, and never give up approach!
Thank you sooooooo much for continuing on and sharing your machining adventures with the rest of us!
Massive kudos, buddy!!! :)
That's a great project!
Building your own CNC-machine is indeed also a very nice way to spend your Sunday afternoon :)
🤪!

Impressive. I can't wait to see what you do with it!
Отличная работа ! Очень приятно видеть плоды трудов знающего и увлечённого человека!
Glad too see you back. A great build.

Makes the day even better seeing this video!
your skills and industry are awesome. keep sharing please.
Incredible build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Excellent work as usual, very inspiring!!
Wow. That is a legit pro level machine build right there.
That is so awesome man, I hope this is another tool we'll get to see more of and one that will allow you to take on more work.
Fantastic video! Impeccable work here!
Amazing! You are an incredible machinist and craftsman!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Perfect, always! Congratulations!
Thank you mate !
Keep up the good work !
What a Friday!
beautiful work as always! We will need a shop update video soon to showcase all the work you have been putting in!
Wonderful! But what do we expect when a Ca Lem video is announced? Wonderful! Thanks. Les in UK
Your persistence is admirable❤
Incredible work. Thank you for posting.
That was a joy to watch. Superb.
I almost peed my pants when you milled into your Kurt.

I was just thinking about you the other day. Good to see you. Thanks for the video. I too call that a success!
Been waiting for long with patience. Thanx for the great video again. Lots of love from India.
A true success! Great job! You are always amazing!!
Greta to see you are doing well. Beautiful and inspiring results (including all those actions you may have felt were a failure or less than perfect) 👍👍😎👍👍 You continue to be a machining hero of mine ...... always doing your best to improve.
Could you use it to remake the spiral plate for your 6 jaw chuck? I was so impressed by that setup!
He could, but why should he? The method he used for that was probably more precise tbh
Pretty awesome. Well done. Always impressed with your talent. Keep it up!
Fantastic job you did with this machine! Now starts the learning :-)
you know, i was just noting the detail work on the chip guard corner brackets, and admiring the work, But, what really catches my eye is the *thought process* and attention to every detail...
Absolutely impressive!!!! Great work!!!
Incredible work, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely incredible! 🤔👍👏 Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Awesome work my friend, love this channel!
very good job Ca Lem
Good to see you back.
pure work of art. you make the Vietnamese prod. hope one day can talk to you.
Welcome back my friend! Nice job!
Amazing work as always my friend
Belle machine,très joli travail bravo, à bientôt salut Jeannot ⚒😉
Oh yeah!!! What a way to end the week! Tnx for the upload!
Great job! Respect! Greetings from Serbia, part of former Yugoslavia (but you are young and probably don't know) . Wish I still live in socialistic or communistic country. Believe me it was much better before.
Amazing work mate!
Awesome video/build, thanks for sharing
Замечательно!Жаль,что многое осталось за кадром.И всё же,браво!
Excellent work friend
You are great keep it up and best of luck for your future projects👌
I have to agree with that final statement calling it a success.
Oh, and a wiser man than me once said. "Computers don't do what you want them to do. They do what you tell them to do. Always check your code"
Gene Haas started with less. Great job Ca Lem !!
Keep moving forward !
Q: did you pick out a school yet? or a major?
Amazing, Ice Cream, just amazing!
10 seconds in and I'm screaming OMG dont do tat!!! Great edit.
Absolutely brilliant video
Turned out amazing! I like the way you did the chip guards, gave me some ideas for my machine. How do you like that CNC controller? I had not seen those before. They look like nice units.
I just bought it used. Not even sure how it is.
time to apply to NASA dude! Superb as always
That turned out nice!
Backlash likely is from bad ballscrews.
If the control supports it, I'd install linear scales, that somewhat solves most issues with old/worn/bad ballscrews.
Amazing! awesome work getting it set up
We miss you, Sir
@ new video soon, I promise!
Lovely machines 😉👍🇧🇷
I would call it a success also! 😃
1:04 There aren't enough hours in the day for Cà Lem, so he assembles machines in his sleep...
Superbly well done
greetings from Vietnam. 1.06 sếp móc cái rì đấy kkkaa 😄😄😄
Wow! Awesome work!
Looks great!
Fantastic job with this build.
Is it closed loop control? I see some end stops, but no linear scales on axis.
Also how rigid tapping works. Is there some encoder on a spindle? One way or another looks great.
Wow, you're amazing. Is there anything you can't do?
Very good job, congrats
Excellent work.
Killer work man
Great job!
This is what geniuses look like he's to smart to do what he dose for living
People give him a thanks and a donation to help him out with these cool projects
Thank you my man 😊
