Welcome to the adventure of CNC machining! I loved your giggle of delight when it moved. We've all had that giggle. Best thing here I saw was, you had your hand on the e-stop "just in case". My mentor hammers me if I don't have my hand on the "Feed Hold" button when I hit "Cycle Start". You've got a mountain of stuff to learn but that's the fun of it all. Congratulations.
Hehehe, very entertaining and interesting!!! I was as nervous as you were at one point, lol. I think my favourite part of the video (apart from the look on your face when you set it to 5000 and it started spinning) is the plaque in the background that says "I Am Their father" HAHAHAHA 😆
you want to check the operation of the emergency stop, it should stop all movements and not by a software action. Plus for the safety of the operator turning the emergency stop back to normal should by law not put the machine back in to a dangerous state. e.g if any thing was moving before the button was hit it should not start moving again as soon as the switch is reset. You could fit a No voltage release (NVR) switch with the emergency stop breaking the hold on voltage line. So it takes two actions to get it running again.
What I want to mill first are replacement stepper mount brackets for my conveyer controllers I added to my conveyers. Right now they are 3D printed in ASA, and though they work fine, they are a little warped, and wont last a super long time. What I actually will mill first is a mess, then another mess and then maybe something that resembles what it's supposed to be :)

I'll say hi to Moo first, Squeak Moo ! and well done Seon, a whole new branch of engineering just opened up !.....cheers.
Congratulations! Enjoy the building. CASA Beta is on the way.
Wicked, thanks!
Now we wait for the enclosure. Looking great. Went perfectly.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you have success so far. Best wishes moving forward.
never stop learning!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks sooo god. Remember to mill your wast plate.
Looking good so far. Great stuff Seon.
Thanks mate :)
Thanks for your sharing !
What sorts of materials is this mill capable of?
Brass? Aluminum? Steel? Stainless? Titanium? Vibranuim?
Slices through soft metals with ease, and I believe some folks have cut mild steel, but I've not seen that personally.
Moo works!
Awesome!!!
wow it magically came together while I slept :)
It took a lot of coffee!
@@UnexpectedMaker I bet :)
What are you milling first?
What I want to mill first are replacement stepper mount brackets for my conveyer controllers I added to my conveyers. Right now they are 3D printed in ASA, and though they work fine, they are a little warped, and wont last a super long time.
What I actually will mill first is a mess, then another mess and then maybe something that resembles what it's supposed to be :)
Why aren't there limit switches at both ends of the X and Y travel ?
If you know the length of an axis, and it’s fixed, then you only need one limit per axis.
