A brief overview of the machine including inside the finished electrical and pump/air solenoid enclosure cabinets followed by some footage of the first part being machined. This part was cut with 12mm DOC, 1mm stepover and 1400mm/min. This was quickly realised to be too slow a feed rate as the machine didn’t seem to be […]
In part 13: – Wiring up the operators control panel – Add an upper limit switch for the Z axis – Add a pneumatic strut to support the Z – First machine movements and backlash testing _____________________________________ DIY CNC Milling machine build. My objective for this project is to design and build a CNC milling
Build very rigid CNC machine with zero backlash and high accuracy at home Here are some info on build. Build time: About 500 hours. Build cost: About $4500 Travels: Z : 11″ ( 27.9 cm ) X: 22″ (55.88 cm) Y: 12″ (30.48cm) Spindle: 5.5 KW ATC BT30 18000RPM from Ebay. ( very happy with
Get that popcorn ready because It’s finally here! The Maho milling machine conversion all the kids are talking about!

In this episode I make the X Axis mounting plate for the NEMA 34 Hybrid (closed loop) stepper motor. _____________________________________ DIY CNC Milling machine build. My objective for this project is to design and build a CNC milling machine without the need for any machining of the parts. Ordinarily, building a mill requires a much
Alan talks about how he built his Home Built CNC bed mill equipped with ClearPath servos and Centroid Acorn CNC controller and got it all running well. Alan tired several other cnc controls systems using Mach3 and Mach4 with alot of frustration and then finally tried the new Centroid Acorn CNC controller in which he
CNC Etch-A-Sketch! Probably as good a project as any to get a handle on the basics. Very basics. Tentatively, the big picture is this: Part 1: CNC hardware / electronics / wiring Part 2: Software, setup and calibration https://youtu.be/eLdlV3-JaH8 Part 3: Machine Design — Music: “Sally Goodin” & “Reuben’s Train” – Nat Keefe with The
