- I've always wanted a CNC mill, so now I'm building one.
This episode dives head first into the fabrication and machining of my heavy-duty DIY CNC milling machine, with a splash of paint at the end.

Life changing video!
I'm gushing
Aussie makers unite!
agreed
Now this channel is on a watchlist too :D
@@NoEngineerHere Snakebite?
I was flabbergasted when I realized this was a new channel, the quality is amazing! Looking forward to future videos about the machine
They're on their way! 📈
I feel like I'm getting in on the ground floor of something 😂
I was disappointed when I found out that I couldn’t binge 😂
Great stuff. Looking forward to watch more
Same here! Good job on that first video!
Can't wait for the next one!
Same here
reminds you that DIY doesnt have to look like DIY. you built something everybody wants to build.
The power of a shiny coat of paint should never be underestimated
@@NoEngineerHere Grinder and paint make me the welder i aint!
@@NoEngineerHerehere in the states and probably elsewhere is a proverb "grinder and paint makes the Fabber you ain't"
The limitation of DIY is only at getting order from other
@@NoEngineerHereOr over-overestimated. My dad always said "the power of a shiny coat of paint should never be under or over-estimated. If you're going to estimate be precise about it. Otherwise why bother?" He took guesswork very seriously
Hey everyone, I'm delirious. Part two is out now!
Never in a million years did I expect to get this kind of response. Just wanna say I'm here to stay; this is just the beginning!
WONDERFUL
Hey I haven’t been watching your channel for very long so I don’t know your core audience but I feel like a “making a cnc with a cnc” video would be very amusing and help people without your tools or machining ability rent out a cnc to build their own cnc.
Next video is "I repaired the rear springs in my partners car" right? aha great video dude
Awesome to see more Australian makers in the scene, can’t wait to see it up and running. Just be sure to use the CNC Mill to build another, smaller, CNC Mill!
Way ahead of you
Why not use the cnc mill to build, wait for it....
A CNC Lathe 😮
no no, you've got it all wrong. you use the first mill to build a *larger* CNC
@@friendlysnoworb6091 people like you are going to save the world one day. It’s your washing machine box thinking that makes my shoebox thinking obsolete.
its ghost gun time
If this compliment from a non-machinist even matters: This is a promising inaugural video, and I am looking forward to more. Subscribed, and greetings from Germany. 👍
Absolutely it matters! I'm a non-machinist myself!
@@NoEngineerHerewell thats somewhat hard to believe! 😂 greetings from another german!
And they say that the algorithm is flawed but here is a brilliant new channel - top of my recommendations! Totally identifiable and with more than a little of the This Old Tony about it - the next in the series is eagerly awaited!
I made sure to sacrifice a collection of endmills to appease the machining gods before uploading; the algorithm is feeble before their might.
A likening to ToT is the highest praise I could hope for! He's really set the bar.
I would suggest that it's a wonderful yet original Australian blend of TOT and Inheritance machining. As someone else above mentioned, feels as though I'm getting in on the ground floor of something special.
Nice build- but more importantly your style of narration and the layout of the video was great.
Really looking forward to more of this build and any vids you publish 👍
Ah thanks man! I'm stoked! There's absolutely more on the way.
I am an engineer, and I sure as hell couldn’t do this. Absolutely fantastic and looking forward to more.
12 years as a machinist and this is inspiring. To see how you adapt and overcome to get to job done, well done sir.
As a machinist i applaud your skills as a hobbiest and creator. this is a perfect example of what you can get done through shier will.
I never thought I would be able to put together a 3d printer but now that I have I am hella confident I can build a light duty CNC for thin aluminum and wood considering all the free software that runs on PC with cheap CNC Boards options. The stepper drivers for NEMA 23s are steep price since you have to get one for each motor :( .
The narration, satire, and quality of content is awesome. Subscribed. You should be proud of this content.
This video is great. Really polished, feels like you have done this for a long time already. I really like your style of edit and humour this far. Longing for more. 👍🏽🙂
I'm a virgin, I swear! Hopefully things just get better. See you next time!
@@NoEngineerHere i think you are definitely A TOT subscriber. No machinist is a machinist (on YT) if you don't watch TOT's videos 😂
thats the reason why im subscribed him :D normaly i dont subscribe. im waiting for more interesting content! :D
absolutely bonkers that you dont have more videos already, by the quality of your editing and narration i was expecting to binge like 100 episodes of you making random stuff
OMG the title wins my subscription. Indeed the allure of semimagical automation of a hobby tool was irresistible.
The age old question "What are you going to use it for?", machinists know the real answer: to build parts and fixtures for the machine itself.
all the way down
Well, I've got a new obsession to watch every video of. This was amazing!
"What are you going to use it for?" - that's... that's not the point though.
Keep up the good work ! Another self made man from Australia, big respect for you guys
Thanks for watching! Not quite self-made yet, but we're well on the way!
At first I thought this was the UK but THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE CNCs!!!
There's a great Machining channel BlondiHacks that goes over a lot of the basics, and they had a comment that led me to subscribe. They said "And now we deburr, because that's what separates us from the animals".
Your version of being reminded of your fleshy, animal insides is also valid.
Man , your my spirit animal . A little depression , ocd , unnecessary percision , no make up hair styling for video. liked subscribed .
This guy may not be an engineer (just like me), but he knows damn well how to fall down a rabbit hole. Thanks for sharing with us, great project, great video! subbed
This is awesome stuff! I ventured into building my own CNC from the ground up when I studied. This requires an enormous amount of planning and actual building. Kudos!
One day the boss says to me "Tomorrow we'll have a new tool to work with. The interface is as frustrating as it is incomprehensible, it requires constant babysitting, parts never come out the way you want, and if there's the slightest hint of complexity in your instructions it'll refuse to do anything."
"Great," I says, "I've always wanted to learn CNC."
"CNC? No way can we afford something like that. I'm telling you I hired an apprentice."
You are living every engineer’s dream of using machines to build a machine that makes more machines.
I'm way too stoked about this! Killer skills in fab, design, framing, design Yada Yada, looking forward to seeing more! Also I do need to throw this out there, but go invest in some more lighting, a lot of these shots were pretty dark, and at least in my experience, it's way easier to build stuff with good lighting. Regardless really happy you made this!
Thanks mate! And I agree on the lights. It's all been a massive learning experience!
@@NoEngineerHere it was dark bro!
Dude for the first video of your channel, you've done really really great! Love your humor and personallity. it just works in this kind of content. cheers mate ;)
Thankyou for saying so! More to come.
Add this to the list of comedic engineering channels that popped out of nowhere with a fully developed professional video
Good on you! I see many wonderful adventures to come. All the best from Victoria, BC, Canada 🇨🇦 and Kingston Jamaica 🇯🇲
This machine looks decent! I love the fact that you use steel rather than aluminium. And yes, I instantly subscribed to your channel, because I wanna see more!!!!
Bloody awesome job dude, especially with the difficulty of finding the equipment and parts in Australia that seem to be common place everywhere else
Being told to "just pick up an Bridgeport for 50 cents" has become a recurring nightmare of mine
It makes you wonder how few tools you really need to build an entire metalworking workshop of your own, power tools included. In the blacksmithing world pretty much this is the spirit: start with an anvil, hammer, forge and iron bars. First thing you'll do is a pair of tongs, then another, then you make another hammer and so on.
As a prospecting hobbyist I find building the machinery you'll use significantly more interesting than trying to find ideas of what you could make with all the tools.
I really think tool and machine building is its own hobby, and a self replicating one at that. "Think of the tools I can make with these new tools, and the tools that these tools build, I can use to build more tools!"
@@NoEngineerHere You just put the Industrial Revolution in a nutshell.
That is a champ of a significant other to even entertain the idea of letting you put that big heavy machine in their small car
Great content! As others have already said, your humour and pacing is spot on. Not to mention your craftsmanship.
If I were, and I am, to suggest one thing it would be to balance the lighting a bit more. Some shots were a bit too ... romantic to really convey the structure and work being done.
Its Victoria, they dont have light there that is reserved for the nice states.
Hi from QLD 😎
I cried a little at "finding metrology equipment in Australia is about as hard as finding metrology equipment in Australia"
Truer words have never been spoken. 😭
Just going to have to make your metrology equipment. Yes it can be done. The 3 plate method will get you excellent reference surfaces, and you can go from there.
The title was so relatable it knocked me out and when I came to I was subscribed and the video was already playing.
1 video. 2 weeks. and almost 20k subs. Bravo good sir.
I shall be proud knowing I was here at sub 20k, and I look forward to your future endeavors.
This is going on my "Mind candy", "Funny" AND "Badass engineering" playlists!
you're right, you're not an engineer, you're tony stark
Love it!! Not much of this sort of stuff coming from Australia, so this is sweet. Good that we have a few maker youtubers here.
love this video, also the dry humor. this just proves that videos can be entertaining without someone talking really loud and overmotivated to somehow keep the viewers attention. Keep up the good work.
Love the dry humor. The CNC thingy is cool too
Yes. The algorithm has creeply suggested something very close to what I've been wanting to do lately. Thank you engineer man.
Easily one of the best DIY projects I've seen. I'm just opening the door into hobbiest machining as an early retired ex soldier. You are real proof that qualifications are not needed, and that natural talent still rules the industries. Keep up the great work. From qld.
Great project and build.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it..
Welcome to UA-cam, i look forward to seeing more. Great first video. Cheers J
Ah that means heaps. Your video on converting a cheapo laser engraver into a plasma cutter was the round-about inception of this project. Opened my eyes to the accessibility of CNC. Thanks for dropping in!
@@NoEngineerHere thank you for watching my vids too. I'm chuffed it's helped you. Your mill looks amazing and I'm jealous of the kit you already have. Machining isn't my strength at all though. I'm really interested in what products you build with yours. All the very best. Cheers J
The sarcastic outlook and the DIY inspired solutions got you another sub. Looking forward to the continuation of this video series!
Thankyou! Won't be long now ⏳
This is the beginning of a banger channel, I can feel it.
Thanks for putting this together mate, I literally lie awake at night staring at the entrance to the rabbit hole of building my own cnc mill. I can't let it go even though I know where it's going to take me.
Beautiful work! This is an incredibly strong opening video. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. Thank you for sharing!
Sir, I want to commend you on your presentation skills, especially your economy with words. Combined with your calm delivery, i found a great deal of humor in this video about a topic nearly as exciting to me as whatever it is I'm ignoring on the popular video. May fortune find you, and rabbit holes be ever worthwhile!
I love finding Aussies building things, and hearing them gripe about the lack of -stuff- here.
Amazing video!
Things like this are what makes UA-cam great. Thank you.
As a CNC machinist I would be proud to use this mill
thats why i create. to escape the mundane. !! much love borther from another mother. Thank you for your creative spark and dedication that you bring to your work!!
I am an engineer, and I can assure you: bigger is always better. Even when it's not, it still is.
The car handled the milling machine like a champ!
This is what I want my life to be. You are so inspiring for someone who works around these tools I love it. Keep the videos comin man
Love this content. As someone who is also not an engineer but likes to build stuff, I’m really looking forward to seeing more
My dad has built CNCs just like this for decades. Fun to watch someone else do it too!
Looking forward for next chapter
This was great, can't wait to watch more of this.
You are absolute maniac! I am stunned with this build of yours. Cannot wait for more videos!
I like where this is going
I like your attitude.
Any relation to Art Vandelay? 🤔
That's a solid edit of a solid build. Thanks for sharing!
Time, planning, hours of preparation, materials, electronics. We all have been down this road, but this is huge undertaking. I can only imagine in Australia the cost is double! Can wait to see it running!
one of the most accurate videos on this topic, especially the last question :D
Thankyou! There's definitely not enough "she'll be 'right, mate" on machinist UA-cam. Glad you enjoyed!
I am a german Engineer and this is some really good work!
Yes I think there are many more who will see this and want to see more. Excellent video!
Nice great job! Thanks for sharing your story... please continue.
I need much much more!!!! The humor is spot on and the project is amazing!!!
This looks great. That coat was a surprise.
Absolutely insane. Looking forward to seeing what you make next!
What a brilliant find this channel is. Can’t wait for more content! Thanks for sharing.
This was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
This.. this is the content we crave.
Awesome work man! I'm looking forward to seeing this machine in action once its completed. Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding effort
Mate that's awesome.
Great to see you here! You definitely helped inspire the leap to UA-cam.
So glad UA-cam suggested this for me! Instant subscribe, I love the deadpan delivery, and what an awesome build!
Phenomenal. Can't wait for more.
Dude!! Thats awesome! Cant wait to see more!!
This type of build is a dream come true if money and everything else that's needed would been available. But since it's not this is the next best thing. Keep 'em coming!
Cant believe this is a first post! Insane video and insane project looking forward to seeing what comes next!!!
Beautiful video.
Best title I've read this year. Maybe ever.
"If it looks like a engineer, swims like a engineer, and quacks like a engineer, then it probably is a engineer!."
Pretty damn wicked build man! ^^
Eugene Stoner was once asked in one of the interviews - why the third reich had so many outstanding mechanical engineers. He said that the reason is, that they started to pick talented machinists, and giving them opportunities to make what they wanted to make. He also said, that ability for visualization of mechanisms, and "feeling" physical materials in your mind, and organizing everything in your mind is an inherent talent some people have, and in different amount, and some simply don't. And that most people who finished engineering schools in USA, and had no such talent, simply sucked, no matter how well they could crunch numbers ( and they mostly crunched numbers at universities ). Solving simplest engineering problems was either a tremendous mental strain for them, or impossible.
Something along the lines that per 10 graduates, one was decent, and per 100, one was good.
You either can make something, and it works, and it works well, and is safely operating. Or you don't.
Some talentless engineers get extremely butthurt when a machinist without a degree comes in, and wipes the floor with them. Their ego can't take it. They resent them because, they themselves spent so much time in education, for practically nothing.
If someone can think up something in a better way than me, all I get is excited. Because I can see how it's done, and improve my thinking. It's fun.
Good luck and can't wait to see more.
This was amazing, thanks for sharing!
Enjoyed this thoroughly
Beautiful (Aussie) introduction. Great video.
Thrilled! Fantastic video mate. Can’t wait for next time 🙏🏻
You know more stuff than many mechanical engineers!
wow this is awesome, so glad it ended up on my suggestions
New favorite channel. Old dudes run machining tube and I'm just a young welder but your living my dream (nightmare?). I just want to build anything. Big ole sub. Keep em pumping and ill be here.
"I built a CNC mill because I have no self-control'' GOAT!!! I understand you ahah
Amazing work!
Excellent content! I need part 2 !
Holy crow, what a channel. I started vocational school for machining 2 months ago, and your videos helped me better understand how milling machines work.
I am also very intrigued about whatever issue you mentioned you were having with your lathe in your newest video. I’d love to see you troubleshoot that.
& I’m totally showing this video to my shop instructor. New favorite channel.
Not even 3 minutes and I already like it
Dead pan precision. Fantastic.
