Your mechanical fitting skills are top notch. I've seen many CNC build videos, but your are the only ones which shows how to correctly align linear guides and the ball screw. Very impressive.
I don't know your builders background but you represent yourself well in this video. Considering your meticulous attention to detail and your, from the floor up build savvy, I would definitely be inclined to hear your unbiased review of other kits on the market. There are others who do reviews on pre-builds and kits but I have yet to see anyone do what you do from the ground up and with absolute precision at the forefront.
Thank you VERY much for the kind feedback Sir. I am not in the process of doing any reviews of commercially available kits. Thanks for watching and commenting
I watched the Z axis build first and it was brilliant. Personally having worked in a machine shop for several years and still have a job working less than 3 decimal places I would have done some things a little different for accuracy but working with what you have it's a brilliant job. Love your router bench, off to watch part 3 and subscribe.
Very cool. I build a similar machine and also faced the problems of not having a CNC to build one. So my CNC uses waterjet cut plates that get screwed into the ends of aluminium profiles. Waterjets can easily cut 20mm aluminium. Laser cutters are cheaper, but can mostly only cut 6mm or so. I payed 200$ for all my plates.
Thanks for the kind feedback. I wanted a rigid smaller machine, mostly for engraving, but with no backlash, and the possibilities for cutting non ferrous metals
Som vanlig: Utrulig bra! Gleder meg til fortsettelsene! Jeg driver også å samler opp "skrot" fra jobben, kona blir litt smågærn, men når man får så mye bra gratis, så er det bare å si takk! Har selv mange prosjekter som jeg prøver å finne tid til, det er ikke alltid helt lett, men dine prosjekter er veldig motiverende, så takk!
Yeah, that caught my eye too. Went looking. Older lowtech version: ruclips.net/video/jiAmdIB93_4/видео.html the version in the video: ruclips.net/video/ae1HW9LRZ6I/видео.html
Thanks. That is a pretty huge machine. Will you have a split machine with 1 side for the waterbed, and one "dry side, Or just a full size waterbed that is coverable for milling?
Your welcome .. :) My plan is to have full waterbed but i will have mill head too , so i can do nice finish on some hole or shape before comletely burnet out. Im buildng 2nd 1.5 x1m with pneumatic head . If i need to do something really big then i will remove bed ..:)
You're killing me, Smalls, you're killing me. Where is part 2. You did a superior job on the Y-axis. Can't wait to see the finished product. Great job so far. Is that Bellevue, Washington or Bellevue State mental Institution. LOL.

Hi Roy enjoyed watching the videos of you building a great machine, very interested in building my router total newbie at this. You wouldn't happen to have the plans available for this build
Thanks for the kind feedback Paul. Unfortunately there are no plans available. i just built it on the fly, from the top of my head, with the parts I had laying around
Bellevue Woodshop no, you used a squat to make the linear blocks perpendicular to the leading/trailing edges of the gantry plates yet you never showed that you made them parallel so putting a square on both sides didn’t make sense because if they’re not parallel, you’d get different results. 1:40
@@IcanCwhatUsay Ahaa. Now I understand what you mean. The distance between the 2 rails are far longer than the on on the X axis,, hence it has a little more room for it to be off. I used the square to get it in the ballpark. The holes was driled 1mm oversized for adjustments. I cannot really remember how i lined them up when I installed it,. It was 2,5 years ago. Sorry I cannot provide you with a more accurate information
Hi. There are no perfect height between these. Basically you want as much as you can, BUT that again you will then need to compensate with more rigidity . But normally 100-150mm works out. then you can have a 50-60mm bit and still be able to clear over a 100 thick workpiece
Hello. Is it a good idea to use double angular contact bearings, on top and bottom, like fixed - fixed (bottom bearing without nut and collars to have a floating bearing arrangement) bearing on z axis eith a 1.500 mm stroke??
Both X and Y axis have floating bearings. The large one has thrust bearings on fixed end. The other one it just 2 regular bearings pressed against each other. Z axis is short enough to leave out the and bearing. Hope this made sense? Thanks for watching
looks very good. What spindle did you use and what materials can it cut? it looks pretty rigid. I'd like to do the same but for cutting carbon fiber and aluminium. Do you think yours would be stiff and powerful enough for those materials with the right spindle???
It is a 1,5kw max 24000 rpm china spindle. I use it only for wood, but have tested it on some aluminum and brass, but mainly engraving. With light passes it should be OK, I think
@@bellevuesnekkeri ok thx. May I also know what stepper motors you used? I'm trying to keep costs down and was looking for most electronics on Aliexpress. And last question, what aluminum type are the plates you used?
sorry if this has already been covered but what motors, motor controllers and aluminum channel were used for this cnc project ? and what software program's can be used with the controllers you used ?
Hello Roland. Thank you for your interest. The absolute best is to use 2 motors. This smaller cnc is very rigid, and the span of the gantry is fairly short. But I would recommend using a motor on each side for anything larger. My big cnc also only have 1 ballscrew, and I have some racking issues
Thanks. The sides of the machine is 44mm x 88mm, and the support ubnder the bed is 50mm x 25mm. All the profiles are salvaged from old machines that we have dismantled at work
Thanks Matthew, Unfortunately there are no plans available for this one, but you can check out my website for my other plasn at> www.bellevuewoodshop.com
great job. i'm interested in that digital distance measuring tool you're using to get both rails aligned properly which is always a pain with a standard ruler. any chance you'd have a link to that product?
Nice job man im trying to build one of those too and i like the profile u used in the gantry what kind of alum extrusion is that i've being trying to find it but im new in the field so i dont know names can u help me out a bit
Thank you. It is actually the housing of a linear actuator that I slimmed down. It used to house the massive ballscrew for the X axis. you can see me cutting it down here: 3:23
Hi very impressive build, I'm looking into getting a CNC machine and was wondering why most if not all of them seem to have a working height/depth limit of around 45-50mm?
Thank you Steven. I am not sure why, but it might be that a taller gantry requires more heavy duty construction, and it might be just to keep production and shipping costs down. Not sure, just a guess. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thank you. Normally the gantry is X axis and the bed (longest) axis is Y as you say. But as I load the machine from the side, I find it easier to cad/cam with the axis in this direction
Thanks. I had salvaged a lot of the parts, so hard to tell total cost if purchased. I purchased a couple of ballscrews, the steppers and drivers, along with the spindle. That came out at approx 250-300 USD
Bellevue Woodshop I am thinking of putting together a workbee now but I also want it for fine detail on smaller items and I am not sure whether being a larger machine it will be able to do it over the 3018 mini machines not the crap clones ones but the 3018 sainsmay mx model which pretty much is only for small detailed stuff if you mode it where the workbee will probably do anything you throw at it, I will mainly just be making house signs from Ali, copper and hard woods any comments? Kill the 3018 and just go for the bigger bugger? I seek lots of pros and cons and it seems to me the biggest issue is you grow out of the smaller machines very quickly unless all you want to do is dog tags which I do not but I will do some hence I need a machine capable of both or I need 2 machines looking for a straight answer tx
Well, I can't even buy 15mm aluminum locally and the shipping costs would kill me PLUS I have a drill, a hammer, screw driver, a reciprocating saw, a drill press, and a circular saw. Yep, that's it so that leaves me out of this and I really do want to build a small one of say 300mmx300mm for now.
@xConundrumx Carry what? Amazon charges a lot of money on some items so if you mean 15mm aluminum plate I bet it is "free shipping" but the base price of the aluminum is hell.
@@thebeststooge it's not too bad actually at least not around here. Either that or the price of local vendors is equally excessive as the difference is quite low between them and the amazon vendors. Which I have to admit is a possibility indeed.
LOL, whilst i like the idea of using tape to secure parts together to allow for drilling through from one part to another. I would have used clamps, or better still after drilling one hole insert a bolt at the least and a nut to clamp it, then go to furthest away hole and do the same. Should stop any wiggling from just using the tape alone, make sure holes are matching as good as can be with that procedure.
Hi , great job, beautiful project , can you give me the characteristics (seller)of the aluminum profiles used as well as the linear rails slide rails used for the project thank you and congratulations
Thank you very much. All the parts you mention are salvaged parts from machinery we have dismantled at work, so unfortunately I cannot help you with any useful information
Thank you Joe. Well, I just kinda do this for fun on my spare time......which is very limited, so I´ll have to pass on the offer, unfortunately. Sorry about that
Thank you sir, I have been watching all your videos for hours now! In appreciate you taking the time to reply, and probably could not afford you- (worth at least $250.00 an hour, and that is probably a gross underestimation) If somehow you find time, i would love to collaborate on water-jet technology. ruclips.net/video/z7dG1MKJhFE/видео.html That is a link to my first sketchup/timelapse/blackmagic .
@@TileContractor Well thank you very much Joe for taking the time to watch and for the generous feedback. Han in there for some more stuff on the way. I am publishing a new video in the next couple of months featuring my new fully automatic table saw. You can get a sneak peak here: instagram.com/bellevuewoodshop/
I have done some testing in aluminium and brass with good success, but only engraving so far. I am no expert here, but as far as I have read speed is the factor here. Get the correct rpm and feedrate, to make sure the bit does not gum up. It is also possible to lubricate with a mist, but have not tried it
@Bellevue Woodshop I never knew you could get away with "routing" aluminum like that - I see what you mean though, no reason it wouldn't work - may not be ideal, but for what you did, perfect. I was struck by how 'crude' you are with some tasks. I'm not criticizing you. It seemed funny that you just cut out your Al Y-axis plate with a jigsaw(?). Or how you used a knife to mark your Y-ballscrew nut, or pencil lead to mark out your holes. Your results are amazing! I think it makes sense, you know what stages need perfect precision, and what stages don't - in particular an oversized hole does not. Very very cool. Spending the effort where it is important, eh? (You make it look easy!) For your Aluminum chop saw - how square is the blade with the base?
It was a tiny bit off out of the box, but I adjusted it perfectly before I started. EDIT: Sorry, I did not see the first part of your comment on my phione. I thank you for the kind feedback. I could of course have used my othe cnc to cut out and drill the gantry sides, but the shape where pretty much determined by the shape of my perforated aluminium. Normal carbide cutting tools c an be used on aluminium with no problem.
Amazing work. Do you have any advice on obtaining the aluminium? Bought new from a supplier it's pretty expensive, but if you know you only need a few bits here and there, what a production shop would consider offcuts are probably perfect.
Thanks Neil, not really. The chunk I go was from the scrap been at work. It was a transport adapter for a robot we installed. My first cnc I built using aluminium cutoffs i purchased at a local scrapyard
Hi Rafael. I am not sure where these can be bought. I got mine dumpster diving at work. but if you google 8020 extrusions you might find some companies that carry it in your area
Thank you very much. I just used a good quality square, and then made a rectangle cut and measured the sides and angles. But it was Ok, so I did not have to adjust anything
Hi, I am also designing a desktop CNC milling machine with working area around 200 X 200 X 40 mm. Here i am facing a problem here. However i have compketed the most of the design. When it comes to force analysis i have no clue how force will act on machine parts during milling process. I belive the forces depends on the material and spindle properties. But i dont know any formulae. Could please suggest me any book or material ?.
Hi. I am sorry, I do not have any knowledge of force analysis. I just built mine a sturdy as I could, and hoped for the best. For wood it is plenty rigid. Have not testet on non ferrous metals yet. I wish you all the best on your build
@@melihbayram1 It is extremely time consuming to make plans, and this one was built from parts I already had salvaged. So it would not make sense to make plans for it. Sorry about that
transferring hole pattern from blocks to plate would be more accurate and quicker with transfer punches, cutting the plate with jig saw is neat I'll have to try that nice machine good design THANX
Not sure if they do international shipping. And if they do it would not make sense to pay huge overseas shipping costs on relatively cheap tools. But i do visit HF multiple times every time I visit the US, so I will pick up a set next time
Yes, normally the one with the longest travel is the Y axis, so the gantry has the x axis movements, But I am loading the machine from the side, and I wanted the cnc software interface to correspond with the left right movement
Hello, I just stumbled across your amazing build. Great job! I built one several years ago out of wood and i did everything ok but my stepper motors would only give me a max of 18 to 20 inches per minute. I'd like to build another one soon out of aluminum this time. If you wouldn't mind, how did you determine what size pulleys to put on your stepper motor and ball screw to get a resonable feed rate, and what is your max feed rate or rapid? Thanks, Carl
Thanks Carl. I started out (and it is shown in the video) with 3:1 or was it 4:1?, for most torque, but is resulted in a slow feedrate. After the video was built, I swapped them for 1:1 ratio. I can now rapid 6000mm/min, aprox 240"/min. I normally dont cut faster than 1800mm/m or 70"/min
Ligner veldig på min, men din ser ut til å bli noe bredere enn den jeg har. Gled deg :) Veldig fornøyd med min. Hva slags tegninger følger du på denne ?
Såpass ja. Hehe. Det er imponerende! Har en i planene jeg også, men litt for mye annet om dagen. Morro å se at noen kaster seg på sånn som du gjør her. Blir morro å se sluttresultatet. Lykke til! Rått å se på :)

Thank you so much for your video. How much did this entire project cost? Anychance you can provide a list of all the parts and where to buy?
Glad you liked it. I built it mostly from salvaged parts. I did by some transmission parts and the spindle off ebay. Not sure, but aprox 250-300usd
@@bellevuesnekkeri I like that sort of price....
Outstanding! Are you available for freelance consulting?
Thank you Joe. Well, I just kinda do this for fun on my spare time......which is very limited, so I´ll have to pass on the offer, unfortunately. Sorry about that
Thank you sir, I have been watching all your videos for hours now! In appreciate you taking the time to reply, and probably could not afford you- (worth at least $250.00 an hour, and that is probably a gross underestimation) If somehow you find time, i would love to collaborate on water-jet technology.

That is a link to my first sketchup/timelapse/blackmagic .
@@TileContractor Well thank you very much Joe for taking the time to watch and for the generous feedback. Han in there for some more stuff on the way. I am publishing a new video in the next couple of months featuring my new fully automatic table saw. You can get a sneak peak here: instagram.com/bellevuewoodshop/
what kind stepper motor are u using? nema 34?
Nema 23´s I later put larger 23´s on all axis
You can router aluminum!? Do you need a special bit or ?
I have done some testing in aluminium and brass with good success, but only engraving so far.
I am no expert here, but as far as I have read speed is the factor here. Get the correct rpm and feedrate, to make sure the bit does not gum up. It is also possible to lubricate with a mist, but have not tried it
@Bellevue Woodshop I never knew you could get away with "routing" aluminum like that - I see what you mean though, no reason it wouldn't work - may not be ideal, but for what you did, perfect. I was struck by how 'crude' you are with some tasks. I'm not criticizing you. It seemed funny that you just cut out your Al Y-axis plate with a jigsaw(?). Or how you used a knife to mark your Y-ballscrew nut, or pencil lead to mark out your holes.
Your results are amazing! I think it makes sense, you know what stages need perfect precision, and what stages don't - in particular an oversized hole does not. Very very cool. Spending the effort where it is important, eh? (You make it look easy!)
For your Aluminum chop saw - how square is the blade with the base?
It was a tiny bit off out of the box, but I adjusted it perfectly before I started. EDIT: Sorry, I did not see the first part of your comment on my phione. I thank you for the kind feedback. I could of course have used my othe cnc to cut out and drill the gantry sides, but the shape where pretty much determined by the shape of my perforated aluminium. Normal carbide cutting tools c an be used on aluminium with no problem.
Amazing work. Do you have any advice on obtaining the aluminium? Bought new from a supplier it's pretty expensive, but if you know you only need a few bits here and there, what a production shop would consider offcuts are probably perfect.
Thanks Neil, not really. The chunk I go was from the scrap been at work. It was a transport adapter for a robot we installed.
My first cnc I built using aluminium cutoffs i purchased at a local scrapyard
Incredible, it’s certainly going to be stiff! What are you planning to mill with it?
Thanks, Its going to be used mainly for engraving, preferably small detailed work. Also some aluminium engraving
Please add a link where to buy that macho looking aluminum extrusion and the rail.
Hi Rafael. I am not sure where these can be bought. I got mine dumpster diving at work. but if you google 8020 extrusions you might find some companies that carry it in your area
hello your project is impressive, but i would like to know what tool do you use for that your cnc is perfectly squared
Thank you very much. I just used a good quality square, and then made a rectangle cut and measured the sides and angles. But it was Ok, so I did not have to adjust anything
great job bud, i am building one very similar i don't suppose you have any plans you could share ? good job
Thank you, and good luck on your build. No I never made any plans, just built it on the fly
Bra bygget, takk for deling.
Takk Tore
Hi, I am also designing a desktop CNC milling machine with working area around 200 X 200 X 40 mm.
Here i am facing a problem here. However i have compketed the most of the design. When it comes to force analysis i have no clue how force will act on machine parts during milling process.
I belive the forces depends on the material and spindle properties. But i dont know any formulae. Could please suggest me any book or material ?.
Hi. I am sorry, I do not have any knowledge of force analysis. I just built mine a sturdy as I could, and hoped for the best. For wood it is plenty rigid. Have not testet on non ferrous metals yet. I wish you all the best on your build
@@bellevuesnekkeri Thank you. I must tell you that, your machine is Amazing.
Hello, I am writing from Turkey. Are there any Cad files related to your cnc?
hello. Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately there are no plans avaialable
@@bellevuesnekkeri
Have a chance to make a plan? My brother and I are dealing with this business. We request CNC from you, please.
@@melihbayram1 It is extremely time consuming to make plans, and this one was built from parts I already had salvaged. So it would not make sense to make plans for it. Sorry about that
Hi, what stepper motors did you use?
Nema 23´s 57HD6013-30
Do you have a plan and parts listing of your project?
I am sorry Murray, no plans or parts list available for this one
Ser knall bra ut :) hvor har du kjøpt skinnene?
Takk Jan. Var noe jeg demonterte på noe maskiner på jobb som skulle kasseres.
Where you buy your aluminium profiles and whats is name ?
It depends on your location. I got mine for free when dismantling some old machines at work
Hello CV thank you for your work and thank you very much for your work. Is what you can do me a favor
Thank you for watching and commenting😄👍
Gleder meg fælt til fortsettelsen!!
Så bra Torbjørn. regner med det blir 3 deler til. Har godt over 240 klipp som skal redigeres.......
Why does all the circuitry make all that noise? Analog vs Digital maybe?
Stepper motors tend to "sing" when all the axis blend at different speed and ramping up and down.
try tmc2130s
Cool build.I want parts names?
Thanks. Unfortunately there are no plans available for this one.
transferring hole pattern from blocks to plate would be more accurate and quicker with transfer punches, cutting the plate with jig saw is neat I'll have to try that nice machine good design THANX
You are corrrect, I would have used transfer punches.....if I had owned some...
harbor freight has a set for less than $10 if you have one near you
@@bowlweevil4161 Thanks,. Problem is just that the closest HF is approx an 8 hr flight away!!!!:):)
HF does mail order too
Not sure if they do international shipping. And if they do it would not make sense to pay huge overseas shipping costs on relatively cheap tools. But i do visit HF multiple times every time I visit the US, so I will pick up a set next time
Isn't that the X axis? Moving from left to right?
Yes, normally the one with the longest travel is the Y axis, so the gantry has the x axis movements, But I am loading the machine from the side, and I wanted the cnc software interface to correspond with the left right movement
Hello, I just stumbled across your amazing build. Great job! I built one several years ago out of wood and i did everything ok but my stepper motors would only give me a max of 18 to 20 inches per minute. I'd like to build another one soon out of aluminum this time. If you wouldn't mind, how did you determine what size pulleys to put on your stepper motor and ball screw to get a resonable feed rate, and what is your max feed rate or rapid? Thanks, Carl
Thanks Carl. I started out (and it is shown in the video) with 3:1 or was it 4:1?, for most torque, but is resulted in a slow feedrate. After the video was built, I swapped them for 1:1 ratio. I can now rapid 6000mm/min, aprox 240"/min. I normally dont cut faster than 1800mm/m or 70"/min
I'm sorry... Did that router just pop up from the table?!?!! 😎
Yes Sir. You can check out the router table features here: ruclips.net/video/ae1HW9LRZ6I/видео.html&t=😀
what is the stepper motor specification?
I think they are 23HS7628 76mm Nema 23 Stepper, if I remember correctly
Pls let me know how the electronics works as one system in this other wise my brain will blowup pls
There are tons of information on the web on the construction of DIY cnc´s. Check out cnczone.com for instance
@@bellevuesnekkeri Thanx so much
Ligner veldig på min, men din ser ut til å bli noe bredere enn den jeg har. Gled deg :) Veldig fornøyd med min. Hva slags tegninger følger du på denne ?
Såpass ja. Hehe. Det er imponerende! Har en i planene jeg også, men litt for mye annet om dagen. Morro å se at noen kaster seg på sånn som du gjør her. Blir morro å se sluttresultatet. Lykke til! Rått å se på :)
What is the name of the tool?
Minute 7:45
Thanks!!
It is called a spring loaded center punch, or sometimes called automatic center punch
Sir please talk name of projects
