Good sir - Your channel might not be very big for whatever reason, but I can truly appreciate the sheer level of talent and skill involved in what you've accomplished here and otherwise. Most people sadly aren't enlightened enough to comprehend just how freaking impressive this actually is in practice. Major props, subscribtion well earned.
Hi Alex, a new video showing the accuracy/tolerances achievable with the machine is highly appreciated. Since the machine is now two years (or more) old and you used a UHPC, some information on shrinking/cracking/etc which is usually present in concrete based VMC's is very valuable to the community.
Indeed would also be interested!
Incredible work. Thank you for taking the time to film and share it with us!
Next level build, awe inspiring! Love the water cooling, you could even add a heater to reach micron accuracy more quickly on a cold day :)
don't let Marco Reps convince you to keep the whole thing inside a heated enclosure
Thanks for your nice comment Marco. The workshop is quite stable in temperature (around max 5 K change over the year) so it should be fine. But on the other side hm wouldn't hurt 😅
@@IvanStepaniuk Beside your bed! :o)
I literally read what Marco wrote in his own accent and it was glorious.

Congratulation! This is some next next DIY level. I don't even know if I would call it DIY at this point. Amazing work.
Some things are beyond reason or practicality !! They are born from emotion and a thirst for knowledge.. Anyone with enough money can pay £30.000 for a machine , but then it’s “just a machine “….. “Bernard”. Is a thing of beauty..💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I HAD A FEELING YOU WEREN'T GONNA GIVE US THE GRAND TOTAL! SUPPOSE ITS NONE OF MY BUSINESS BUT IM SUPER CURIOUS! MORE THAN $75K? YOUR ABILITIES AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND ACCURACY SURPASSED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS HUMANLY POSSIBLE! TO CALL YOU A CYBORG WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT... THAT SATISFYING FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU WATCH IT AND FEEL THE PART AFTERWARD MUST BE EXPONENTIALLY MULTIPLIED, KNOWING YOU BUILT THAT THING 100% BY, DARE I SAY, "HAND"? I THINK THIS IS FAIR SINCE YOU MACHINED THE PARTS WITH YOUR "HAND EXTENSIONS" SO CHEERS! AN AMAZING FEAT AND A JOY TO WATCH!
This is one of the most ambitious projects on UA-cam.
Would love to see a video on the components you used. Rails, blocks, spindle assembly, etc.
Yes, absolutely I would also love to hear Alex speak to this.
Excellent results. Quite the capable machine. Good to know all the fine details you fussed over for so long paid off in the long run. Great video as always.
Сказать, что работа отличная; ничего не сказать - эта работа образец того как техническое творчество превращается в высокое искусство, пробуждающее, не менее высокие духовные чувства!
Well done Alex. A machine to be proud of and will serve you superbly ,I believe.
This machine is a piece of art. If you bought it, it wouldn't have the same value... And it doesn't even matter if it would be more or less expensive.
The last one I've built doesn't even cut a part yet, and I can't stop looking at it 😅😅
It's time you give us a new video Alex! 😎😁
Hallo Alex, thank you very much for taking us with you on this journey. Its a great pleasure to see you have fun with your machine. Great work! Verdient hast Du sie Dir wirklich!
WoW. You have done a great job. Steel cutting is a real challenge. Well done
Nice. I like the idea with making the electrical cabinet with aluminium extrusions and flat plates so you dont have to bend the thick aluminium plates.
Wow that is a great build. Love the clear plastic ? Guards. Allows for nice lighting inside. You should be very proud.
Very good job! I really get I inspired by your series. It gives me so much motivation.
This build series somehow really showed what it’s like, ups and down. And you managed to keep focus and finish! It must be such a great feeling looking at the fist peace the machine cut and conclude that surface looks great and that the dimensions are accurate.
Beautiful CNC milling machine. 👍
Great work. Wish I had such a solid machine in my basement.
this is amazing! I can not believe how incredible the machine is, fantastic job!
Great job!
Normally i never give any comment about things i see on you tube, anyhow this project can not leave me without saying anything. Amassing job you did, all the details you bring to the top, for everyone who have a little machine builder into stomach
Even not afraid to tell about mistakes you did and how you correct them😀
Excellent machine build, can't wait to see more.
Outstanding results, great work! Thanks for sharing this on youtube!
Well done!
Amazing results!
Sensational work, man. Really enjoyed this series. Can't wait to see what's next from you.
Best,
Reuben
congrats alex it is just amazing
Absolutely stunning.
Awesome!, thanks for sharing
Beautiful. Have fun with it. Please keep posting milling projects.
Looking forward to your new work👍
Great work.
Great job! I'm really impressed with the way it turned out!
Congrats
Sounds great
Impressive
A lot of work has been done. Cool project!
Awesome build like the colour as well.
absolutely amazing work. Well done. You can be very proud
Congratulations! She looks great.
real nice build
A magnificent machine and a fantastic achievement to build it - looking forward to see what you make on it - Brilliant!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Congratulation! That's amazing. thanks for sharing your great experience
Looks great. Very capable machine 👍💪
congratulations for your dedication you're my inspiration
Congratulations an amazing build well done!!!
Awesome job sir
What a impressive build and result 💪☺️
Fantastic.
Nice work ! I was pleased when I finally finished my own DIY CNC machine so I know how it feels to have designed and built it yourself. Seeing yours in action makes me want to upgrade my spindle !
Good build! We shared this video (and parts 1-7) on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Very good build! And the result looks very very good :)
I'm happy for your build, hope you really enjoy the result, as it curtain looks like it.
Very impressive machine👍
incredible machine. good work.
The work you have accomplished is astounding. You should be so incredibly proud of this machine and all the skills and effort you've had to bring to bear. Really inspiring work Alex! Can't wait for you to get the itch to install ATC setup ;)
Looks like a machine that doesn't fall far from HAAS or others ....
Kudos !
Wish mine could take these kinda bites ...
Fabulous! What an asset for your shop. Thank you. (Liked & Subscribed)
Very nice to see it can make blue chips almost effortlessly.
This is such a great build. So satisfying to watch it work. The DIY aspect is questionable here tho! 😁 Great job and best wishes!
Super cool build. Congratulations!. It sounds really rigid with no chatter
It was an interesting adventure!
Awesome work! It's great seeing those chips flying!
I'm kinda having a hard time believing that buying a machine equal to this would be cheaper. No doubt your build wasn't cheap, but you took everything to the next level! The accuracy and chip loading capabilities are impressive, especially for such a compact machine, not to mention the cooling and lubricant system.
I didn't really mentioned, that I also added the time I needed into the calculation. If you only want the machine to build parts (and earn money with those) than you have to take the time into account. And then a finished bought one might be cheaper.
@@AlexCNCen However building a machine like this yourself also teaches you a lot of things. I already learned a ton building my cnc mill and it is not even finished yet. If you count that as work experience, then building a small cnc mill is invaluable.
.
This is a very inspiring build. You did an amazing job. What's next? I'm constantly asking myself am I just building tools to build a better tool that I need in order to build another tool? You sir have reached what I dream to complete.
Verry nice work you made I like it verry well 👍👍I hope we see some more chips comming from your millmachine in the next video 😉
Excellent build,keep up the good work .... For aluminum, I would highly recommend you to use 3flute endmills
Genial el armado de la maquina
Wow, this turned out amazing! VERY inspiring indeed. With all of the painstaking precision you put into this what kinds of parts and projects are you planning? OR was this the project in itself?
Pretty impressed by the Ø63 in steel.
I'm pretty sure with more torque there would be even more possible.
it was amazing!👍
Don't want to create an automatic tool changer?
Amazing! I gotta go back and watch your previous build videos. Hope you get some more content out there soon. Are you planning on doing flood cooling at some point?
I followed the whole series, perfect work and high accuracy. How long did the work take and how much was the cost there is no doubt that you made a very big effort
Fantastic work indeed! I wonder how are the vibrations and noise, can you hear anything from the floor above while you are milling in the basement for example?
Fico muito Top 👍🏾
Alex, congratulations on finishing your machine. Can you kindly share the details on the spindle that you selected and the specifications on the servo motor you selected to drive it?
Hi Alex, thank you for your great videos, I enjoyed watching all of them :-). I was wondering what type of liquid do you use for the spindle cooling?
Awesome build! I've watched it all over again! Do you have any other channel?
GREAT!!!

Really enjoyed this journey with you. Now we're gonna build our own 😊, fully equipped with fancy extras like cutting fluid system, a chip conveyor and an ATC 😁. I would like to start the design from your model, do you plan on sharing it?
Hi Alex, great work ! lovely machine ! I would like to ask you if the motor head feels alright dimensionally. Is the distance from the spindle to the column the right one ? Would you make it taller/thicker/wider if it were to do it again ? Thank you for your time.
Hello, I would like to congratulate you on your achievements. I followed the whole building and it's really amazing. I would like to ask if you would like to share what an AC servo motor you use or a link to it for puechase and the specifications of it ,and also the BT30 shaft you use was purchased or manufactured from you . greetings
Man this machine is so awesomme! i'm trying to build a smaller concrete machine to, and i have a question for you. How did you make the slideway covers they look very nice! Again very nice machine 😎🙂
could you explain the small rod on either side of the linear rails around 9:19 please?
Any plans to release a new video showing how it has perform during these months?
I would be amazing to see what you have learned, what has changed, the limits of the machine and any interesting project you have used your nacho for on!!!!
Great job! You were fast too from start to finish! Did the flat head screws pushing sideways on the linear rails loosen up when you had the covers off? I'm in the design stages of my cnc and am considering using the same method. Thanks.
I haven't checked them but there wasn't any obvious visible. I used medium strength loctite. So there shouldn't be a problem.
Hi Alex, nice machine you build there. may i know the detail of servo motor used for the spindle is ?and what is the maximum speed you get with your spindle...thank you
Awesome machine, not sure if you said this or not but I'm really curious how much HP does your spindle have?
Hello, nice build, what controller are you using, are you linear encoders connected to the controller or the motor drives??
I'd really like to know more about the Black side pieces of the way covers you use to make the telescoping ways. Are those custom machined, or purchasable parts??
Мagnificent machine, congrats Alex!
You have very extensive technical knowledge.
What is your education?( Maybe I missed this on the German channel or somewhere.)
Can I learn the control card you use and the servo motor power?
why do you have the copper wire lines bolted in some places?
Waiting for a new video. Hope you're doing well.
Where did you get the Y axis and X axis cable/drag chains?
Hi, nice project. what is the spindle motor rating, like power in KW, RPM and torque.
Thanks
1 can it do 3 axis work or only horizontal? Can ir mill a ball?
2 how much did it cost?
Do you think you will do any other projects like this?
Legendary German engineering.
What’s the make and model of the spindle motor you’re using?
How does it going?
