Thank you so much! Cool name btw. Your machine will be great as well.

@@wastelandworkshop3839I have installed the spindle at the weekend. What a beast - and heavy as well. The spindel mount is made from 80x80 rectangular steel pipe with 6mm wall thickness. Quite sturdy. I'm very pleased with the result. There is only one thing that's not good - the spindle speed. It is running at 18000rpm at the highest. Lowest speed is 6000 rpm. This is much too fast for tools like flycutters as yours for milling steel. I'm still searching for an affordable SK30 spindle with drive shaft to be able to reduce the speed down to 'normal' milling rpm. If anyone here has a tip for me - you're welcome.

Thank you! :)

Thank you! As stated by the seller on Amazon the table itself has a meassurement of 475 x150mm. The travel distances are about 330 in X and 180 in Y. Hope this helps.

@@wastelandworkshop3839 Thanks so much!!

Thank you for the comment. Glad you like it. Well the ball screw itself isn´t actually locked. The positon of the table along the Z axis can be locked by tightening a machined screw that pushes onto the handwheel - shaft. It has a special brass tip in order to protect the shaft from getting indents. This is one of the topics in part 5 of my milling machine video series. At exactly 2:10.

You are right. Just like every fallout fan wants to have a big iron on his hip. *big iron on his hip* Thanks for the comment :D

I am kind of ashamed that i didn`t think about that when i filmed the video :D. Honestly i would love a custom fallout style operating system for it. But sadly i am not a software guy at all.

Well let me know what you want to know exactly. Maybe i can answer some questions or even do a video.

Honestly i lost track of how much money went into this project. If i had to guess, i would say there are probably around 1200 - 1400 bucks in this project. This includes material (at least the stuff i had to pay for), tools and consumables. The big thing with going DIY is time. I spent a lot of time designing building and perfecting (still not done yet) this mill. Since this is my hobby this factor didn´t matter that much to me. But maybe your view on spare time is different than mine. Let´s put it that way: Buying a mill is for sure a lot less hazzle and a lot more cut chips.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! Yeah i am a mechanical engineer. Currently i work for a company that produces big industrial shredders. It's great that you already got a mill. I bet it will help you a lot when building a bigger one. Would love to see how yours turns out! You are right. A quill would be very helpful. But that was unachievable with the tools i had at the time. Thanks again for the comment :)

The carriages are called HGW20CC and the rails are 500mm long. Hope this helps.

I have a whole series about the terminal on my channel.

Thanks for the comment and i am glad you like my version of the terminal. The internal lighting is a great idea. I might do that if i get around to a version 2.

If i get around to a version 2 i probably will get one for it.

And a CRT

Thanks :D I just thaught "what's the most random thing i can put at the end of the video" The sandwich i'am eating is actually a bosna. That's like a hotdog but with Bratwurst sausages, onions, a lot of curry powder, tomato ketchup, mayo and a bit of mustard. Personally i like to use baguette as bread. Thanks for watching the video to the end!

English is a already a Germanic language. It just has the concept of word spaces and hyphenation.

So schlimm ist mein Akzent jetzt auch nicht :D

He would severely limit his reach when speaking German. I am Dutch and would probably not have finished the video if it had been in German. I like seeing the new mill producing parts. Cool stuff. Keep it up.

@@wastelandworkshop3839dein Englisch ist super. Mach weiter so!!

Dankeschön!

Thanks. I am currently designing a gearbox for the mill. This should also help to make the mill look nicer. Also changing speeds will be a lot faster.

Hi John, The rails are 500mm long and the U section piece is just a standard profile with a width of 140mm and a material thickness of 6mm. Hope this helps!

@@wastelandworkshop3839 yes very much so. Thank you. now I know what to look for. I have to go and check on what is available near me. I just found a 2" thick 3 feet by 5 foot piece of steel that was used as a welding table. I am going to go and purchase it later in the week. I have been searching for a good welding table and they are so expensive. I found this one for about $100. I know that it has to be a great deal because I have seen much thinner ones for almost ten times that price.

You are right it does look a bit like old Deckel Maho style HMIs (never thaught about that). Since the keyboard is just plugged in via USB i guess that's not a problem. It may be harder to find a small enaugh old keyboard at a reasonable price. Ofc you could always make a custom keyboard out of an old and a new one. In the sence of "old keys pressing the new buttons".

Thank you :)

Well i could. But to be honest there is not that much aside from the knops and the cassette deck. I don't know if this helps much.

@@wastelandworkshop3839 it helps much for me.

​@@wastelandworkshop3839so can You share it online?

That's a cool idea and a great project. Would like one as well.

@@wastelandworkshop3839 might go a bit further still and make the head (motor belt axle and stone) detachable so i gan use it on the lathe as a toolpost grinder too seen a smallish sewing machine motor used for it but the guy thought it wasnt powerfull enough , have to see wat amound of power i would need still

Cool idea! Sounds like you got a nice sized lathe. Mine would be a bit small for that to be honest.

Thank you for the interest! Sadly you can't. Shipping to the US is not cheap. Also a lot of parts are custom made to work with the materials i had at the time (would take a view months to get everything ready). However, in the future i want to do an upgraded version whitch should be fully printable and also takes standard desktop pc parts. In that way you should be able to source the needed components at your home country and get the 3D files online. But it will take some time until i am able to do that. Thank you for liking my terminal version

@@wastelandworkshop3839 Even with a long wait I would lovingly place a purchase for it, but I understand! Some day I'll get a quality RobCo Terminal Computer!

When i get around to do a Version 2 i will do a video. Maybe then i can do something for you.

@@wastelandworkshop3839 How long ahead are you on making version 2?

Not very far to be honest. I have some projects that are more important right now. Once i get around to it i will defenetly post a video. Sorry for now tho.

Thanks! I mean i could have done this project faster but in the middle of the project i moved closer to my job. Since my workshop now is located further away from my home i only can get some stuff done on the weekends. That's also the reason why new videos are taking so long. I really want to see your version of a diy mill!

Thank you for watching :) If you are really going to build your own version i would love to see some pictures.

@@wastelandworkshop3839 I will definitely stay in touch. I have a bunch of projects. I was hit and run over a little over 18 moths ago while riding my 1957 Harley. I had to learn how to walk again and it has been a rough road . I am able to walk normally now and I am fairly recovered. I am going to start my YT channel with a Barn find Yamaha three wheeler. I am going to cast an aluminum tapping arm for my drill press and then I will be able to fit in a milling machine.

@@Biokemist-o3k Dude That sounds just horrible (the accident part). Glad you recovered from that. Looking forward to your channel!

@@wastelandworkshop3839 Thank you. I will keep uni in the loop.

Thank you Metalman! You are right. Time is a very big factor. Getting the mill finished took me over a year. But i do have more to come. Editing will take some time tho. Anyway, i am glad you like my content!

This would be awsome! But i bet it will be hard to find a vacuum tube that's small enaugh to fit the terminals enclousure. However i would love to see this happen. Especially the custom Linux.

​@@wastelandworkshop3839 I have an idea for that, model the size of the Terminal's enclosure around the size of the vacuum tube. Modifying it as needed. I had put some more thought into it. Would such a terminal have nice metal mechanical keys? Or would it have old school keys more akin to an Apple II? I know it would have a mechanical keyboard, but what would the knobs be for? I'd love to approximate the design. Let's take it a step further, find an open source VMS OS, then make it work like the Robco OS in the game. Hell, I'd love to find an old Monochrome/Vector display that was in Amber, but Green would be great too. Then I had an idea for doing the something for a PipBoy too, but that would be further down the line.

I would love to see this happen! In my mind the terminal should have the old school apple ones you are referring to. Regarding the knobs: As shown in the video i used one of the knobs as the volume control and the other one as the power button. I hope you can find a fitting CRT.

It's called oilamid (probably a trademark). This is a wear resistand plastic specifically for applications were sliding is necessary. I only used it here because i had some cutoffs on my stock shelf.

I bet. I use mine as my main pc ever since and absolutely love it every time i use it.

Hi The gear set i used has a ratio of 1:2.

@@wastelandworkshop3839 Thanks

I guess i can I will let you know when they are online

I can give you the meassurements as soon as i got a little more time. But for the drawing you see in the video i left them away for the sake of simplicity. Also most people probably don't have the same stock material i used just laying around. Therefore meassurements will change depending on the stock used. Most of the material i used for the mill were cutoffs from metal industry companies. Buying the stock new of off my meassurements is likely very expensive. The drawing should just show the mechanical detail of how the spindle is constructed.

Thanks a lot. Of corse there will be new upgrades im the future. Great! I would love to see your results. If you can get a thicker walled square tube for the collumn and add some reinforcements to the inside. (Mine is 100x100mm with a thickness of 5mm i used that because i got a good deal on it). I want to reinforce mine as well and fill it up with a epoxy concrete mixture to get rid of some vibrations. But this upgrade will be done in spring next year as it is already to cold in my shop for the epoxy.

Thank you!

Hi Ed. I guess you are talking about the spindle shaft. I made that myself. If you are interested how i did that, Part 2 focuses on the spindle build.

Thanks

Thanks for the question. I use a wireless mouse for that.

Thank you! This sure would be cool.

Thank you! Your forum is great. I am looking through it occasionally.

@@wastelandworkshop3839 Thanks; let me know if you want a free premium forum membership, and you can post your videos on the forum whenever you want. We have lots of YTers on board promoting their channels.

Thank you I would love to!

@@wastelandworkshop3839 Great. Just shoot me an email at "jon" at our url, or add one to your About page on YT, and I'll set it up.

I just added my mail address to my channel description. Thank you :)

You are right. It's definitely worth a try. Thanks for the comment!

So rounded edge inserts are meant for big heavy mill ?

@@jw200 I would say that heavy mills fare better because they have more power. and are less prone to vibrations. Try to cut anything with a dull knife. It takes more effort. The sharper edges of inserts made for aluminium are also more fragile. They won't last long on heavy cuts or interuped cuts.

Thanks! :)

Thank you Matt!
