Unfortunately I don’t have usable Cad drawing for this machine. Maybe next one
What kind of steel you got for the frame?
@@StudioP3D cold rolled steel
Where do you get the steel plates and frames? from i have 1600 nema stepper motors i got off ebay with controller drives for 4 axis. and a lincoln VR-350 welder i got for free. There are linear roller ways and ball screws gallore on automation overstock on sale. thats a big machine for only 4500$ thats. the cnc motors and drive are cheap on ebay. i saw a huge cincinatty hydrotel for 2780$ and its a monster. There's also explox granite DIY lathes and mills also. this would be great for my DIY 2 stroke engine project.
@@RUclipsStat I tried and failed hard ,waisting time ,money and materials.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Could you make it , for a reasonable amount ?
Now THIS is a "home made" CNC Mill that is beyond impressive. I can't believe you fit all this in under $5K, bravo sir!
Thank you
And all you need to build milling machine is a milling machine.
ToT has trained you well in the art of metal cutting by hand. Awesome job sir!
Brian J
And how to mix spices to make metal milling work correctly!
No other word can describe this build... GENIUS !!!!
nice, very nice. In the late 70's I worked at a place that built automated welding machinery for the automotive industry, All relay technology before computers. We machined parts the old fashion way like this with over engineering to last for ever. tolerances .005 now .tenth of a thousand. Good to see someone still has those skills
Thank you
What a treat this was. Great work! The craftmanship the ingenuity the humor, simply fantastic!
I am a Swedish CNC technician. So fun to see how you build. It's noticeable that you know exactly what you're doing!
Thank you.
OMG!!! I love the bandaid move!
Вау ! Уважаемый ! Ты просто ранишь воображение !!!! Это эмоции Колоссальная робота Вот что значит: МУЖИК задумал - МУЖИК -воплотил Мои наилучшие пожелания Творческих успехов и свершений !
Great job on the CNC build and I love the structural methodology you used. When I 1st saw your video image, I had to take a double take, on how similar your build is to the one I built, right down to the doors and handles :). Upon watching the whole video, your is much more robust, very impressed. Thanks for sharing.
Wow an excellent machine at such a low cost! where do you get the steel plates from?
It's just fantastic! I call this - capital construction in the machine tool industry for centuries! How nice it was to be inspired by your video - I was given the energy of measured and meaningful steps in the process. Plus a great sense of humor! Good luck! Konstantin, Ukraine
Now the Enclosure needs an acrylic roof and some magnets so the Doors will snap together and in place when closing :)
Awesome build!
Not Acrylic.....
it's polycarbonete sheet .....
When I saw the precision and the professional tools that went into building this thing, I decided to buy a cheap Chinese one to match my skills.
Great job!! Incredible job !!!!! I envy you because you have enough time to build a high precision machine like this !!! My sincere respect!!!!
I am speechless! Congrats! Only thing I could point out is that at 25:00... it's a tall big ass motor and it's supplied cradle could be 1.5 times longer. You have the space in it's backplate. I would fabricate a longer one that could hug a larger portion of the motor's body to get out every last drop of stability.
Outstanding, she’s absolutely beautiful!!!
This is what you get when you have a true machinist at work, Awesome wish i had half the skills
Thank you Keith!
Respect, respect and respect again. Incredible job. Thank you for showing us.
Where do you get the steel plate from???
That´s the right way, to build a own CNC maschine ! Greeting from Germany
Very nice. Thought mine was heavy duty, but yours is another level. Although to be fair mine is a router, yours is a mill.
Indeed
Absolutely amazing! I've designed one myself, and it's nearly identical to yours. I'm not kidding... I have the 3d CAD file predated to prove it! No worries... No one but myself had ever seen my design. It's just crazy how much you and I think alike.
What a great video ended up watching the entire thing in one go great machine really good looking Project thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it Peter
That thing cuts like butter! If my design is as close to yours as I think, mine will do as good. Man... You really know how to dial in that sweet spot on feeds, and speeds. You're not afraid to take a good sized bite on your cuts too. Your machine runs just as good as a Haas, or a Fadal. Nice solid build on all of your axii.
Thx. Go for your build it works great.
What an impressive build! I can’t believe how awesome it turned out!
Not gonna lie, this video gave me hope that I could build my own cnc machine as well. Thank you for the post. I really like how you did it! Very impressed!
Go for it!
Wow Vince--that is amazing craftsmanship! Good for you! That must have taken a long time to build based on the care and precision you exhibit.
Ilmu beladiri belah besinya hebat , buat millingnya bagus 👍👍👍👍👍
Cool, very cool.
Hi from Russia=)
Впечатляет!!! Красиво работаешь!!! А вот в горах Перу, тамошние DIY, строили такое же при помощи каменного молотка и рыбьей кости!🤣😂🤣
Impressive!!! You work beautifully!!! But in the mountains of Peru, the local DYI built the same thing with a stone hammer and a fish bone!
The home machinists paradox: you need to have a CNC to make a CNC... :D
The first video i see from an REAL vibrations free Home made CNC... NIce !!
[Epic] build..... i want one, or two, yesterday
Un artista , GRANDE , Gracias por compartir , tus conocimientos , de mecanizado , admiro tu sencillez , viendo todo lo que sabes de condiciones de corte , y puesta a punto de maquinas , mucho control , sabes lo que quieres , lo complicado , lo haces sencillo, ese don solo lo poseen unos pocos, muy GRANDE
28:02 - That is some serious human-machine lovin right there :D
At 1930 when you’re showing the raw z axis gantry... lol wow. Rise of the machines. Loved this video.
Amazing, great work! I hope to one day do a build like this! Inspiring!
Soon as I buy a mill, I can make a mill.
Well done Sir! Thank you for taking the time to share and inspire others as well. I'm finding it distressingly rare for people to have a long range plan like yours and follow through with the build. Very few of us left perhaps(?) I hope not. Thank you again.
Thank you!
Достойная сборка!!!!
IMPRESSIVE DOING THIS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE!
THANK YOU!
YOU HAVE GREAT SKILLS!
This is infinitely impressive!
Is the best CNC home made mill i ever seen !!! Congratulations AMIGO !! Felicidades por tu proyecto !!
This is a work of art!
Thanks
I am from Syria🇸🇾 big thanks🌷
This is next level - I have some competition!
nice
we are now going to make same machine from old milling machine with some modification thanks for video
It's gorgeous !!!
You could probably make a bit of side ca$h $elling plans for that machine...
I know you already replied to someone on this thread that you didn't bother with extremely detailed prints/files, but if you went back and did that, you'd probably have half a dozen, to a dozen cu$tomer$ , judging solely from the interest shown in this video and it's thread alone...
There’s only one way to build a cnc, this way! Great Job!
Thank you
[17:40] Somebody took kung fu lessons from This Old Tony. Love it. Great video.
agree - that's some outlandish martial art skills that would make Mr. Spock look bleak
Watching it cut for the first time what a beast.
That spindle looks sweet, have you tried it at lower speeds, like how does it do drilling a 3/8 in steel? Thanks!
I am doing some testing on more cutting and drilling. Will post video soon. Thx for comment
Scotty? Give us some more speed! G’dammit that’s all we’ve got captain!
MORE SPEED SCOTTY!
The spindle is sweet, but 2 or 3 grand. Just to start. Considering how much mills cost...i guess you could make it exactly how you want it.
@@robertraderjr6714 2 or 3 grand just for the spindle? Probably more like around €1000 and that's including the spindle head, spindle motor, and the entire Z-axis assembly. You can get multi-KW spindle motors from China pretty cheaply these days, and the same goes for all the parts needed to make and power each axis.
I have run it as low as 1200Rpm for 1/4 drill
Admirable work from design to finishing! Accuracy/Precision are professionally ensured. High quality materials. Probably aviation industry high standards compliant. It's the best built CNC machine around! It deserves its price certainly. A true jewel. Thank you for the entertainment. As instructive as entertaining btw.
Thank you.
Not to discredit this guy's awesome work, but so say it's ultra high standard and the best one around is exaggerated. It lacks the mass needed for damping which a professional (CNC) mill has, this mill probably weighs several hundred kilo while you want something of at least 800-100 kg, preferably even more. Also, it would have been much better to make it out of epoxy granite or UHPC instead of a welded steel frame, not just because using either epoxy granite or UHPC is a great way to add a lot of weight to it for damping but especially because they're very suitable materials due to their dampening characteristics. But most of the reason you don't want to make it from a heavy welded steel frame is because unless you stress relieve said frame it's going to have substantial stresses from the welding which will negatively affect its accuracy and is bound to warp once pressure is applied to it (which is precisely what happens during use).
All in all it's a great build and very impressive, don't get me wrong! And it will definitely be able to go through aluminium and even steel with plenty of ease, at decent accuracy too. Just wanted to point out important facts and details.
Awesome! Best DYI cnc I've ever seen on the internet.
Thank you !
37:14 looks more like part pull up.not crash it was workholding problem xD
Clean, Organized and skilled workmanship! Excellent DIY CNC mill video!!
Video about: "how to make a cnc milling machine if you have a cnc milling machine factory in your garage"
Exactly
Human is became MACHINE.
Very impressive !
it seems to me that you know what you're doing
Cast iron machine body/structure provide good vibration dumping system. Cast steel machine body/structure provide the same as cast iron with extra strength of the material for high force machining condition especially in Industrial/commercial used. This design with structural steel used with welded joining normally face a problem of residual stress. Residual stresses can be large enough to cause component distortion or cracking. Also, fatigue and stress corrosion cracking require the presence of tensile stresses.
I believe that this machine will produce appropriate quality/part dimension for ordinary job. If possible, heat treatment for certain machine component might be recommended especially when the machine is purposely design for long run operational like an industrial machine
That's interesting. If you look at VinceBuild's construction, could you point out say, three "hotspots" that might be the most likely to fail or cause problems (like a joint, or weld, or particular corner or whatever)?
So you needed a mill to make a mill, lol
absolutely..lol
Great Great job
Vidéo style perfekt and attractive
Golden hand and inventive brain
You are an artist
I like it a lot
I know it's a sin, but damn I'm envious!!
I must confess, I was also lusting after another man's CNC milling machine !!!
I'm soooo ashamed !!!
Maybe if we pray hard enough, Jesus will give us such beautiful milling machines too !!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing your impeccable skills. Your video spoke volumes!!
You should try adding a surface grinder to you machine shop . Awesome work !!
Тоже делаю станки себе с использованием сварки. Но я произвожу температурный отпуск перед фрезеровкой. (правда требуется огромная печь для этого).
п.с. Ну и обязательно шабером довожу поверхность под рельсы!
nice mill if you are going to run mist coolent or an air blow you will want shields I worked in field service for 35 years , i wish people with hopes of machineing metal could experience real machine shop cnc lathes and mills, there is no substitute for 20-50 hp spindles and box weys and heavy castings, there is hardly any side pressure milling wood , hobby is hobby and metal machining is expensive, , I have a miltronics partner 1 and a hardinge chnc in the garage and they are ok, I now machine for fun because I love machining and make fixtures and one piece parts for shops, my 10hp rotary phase converter adds $400 to my electric bill
Amazing! You would think getting a good sturdy mill then fixing and retrofitting it would be the way to go . But building the base, saddle, and Z column and the rest is awesome! 500 hours and 4500 dollars? Not sure what way I would go! Labor of love is always nice when you have the time though.
THAT is a handsome CNC.
The conventional lathe or milling machine still a luxury for me, but I never stop dreaming to have a cnc milling, lol 🤣🤣
I, unfortunately, do not have your financial means, but i love your work and know-how.
As a professional mechanical engineer being in industry since 40 years I know what I'm talking about and I can honestly compliment, that this is definately one of (if not the) best DIY build I've ever seen. You really master craftsmanship. The only point which I have - is the bigger mill on which you machined most of the parts yours? If so, why didn't you upgrade the existing one? I mean it has already DRO and stepper motors and wider travel in all axis, so what was then the reason for a new build? Just for fun :-))) ???
Parabéns pelo trabalho! Seu vídeo me inspira, gostaria de no futuro fazer um projeto parecido.
Un progetto ECCEZIONALE!!!!! Bravissimo!
Duży nakład pracy, ale efekt zapiera dech w piersiach wspaniała maszyn istne cacko gratuluję wykonania 👍😃.
id put an acrylic overlap at the door , a resevuar and a drain to the base aluminium, protect the spindle electronics in printed housings and give it flood cooling
That is my plan in future. 👍🏻
@@advanceair sounds dandy , hope to see it some day
great build wonderful work, many thx for sharing your knowledge with us
Oh My god....... That craftsmanship is seriously incredible.......... Only 44k views ..............
I loved it!!! Great video!!! I incredibly enjoyed watching you build this.
And a great Sense of humor.
Hugs from Brazil
No hugs during this pandemic.. cara
Im so admirative seeing this wonderfull job!
How many viewers watched this video and wanted one of these machines? If you’re one of these viewers click the like button.
This is pretty amazing. I think the counterweight is genius for the Z travel. Bravo Vince
Thank you
I watched the whole thing, twice. lol. Good work, looks like it runs smooth. I saw that spindle and first thought was that it wasn't cheap - didn't disappoint. Keep up the good work, time to go watch the other videos now!
diy_garage_tx Thank you. Spindle been great, glad I spend some $ on it.
This was unbelievable to watch
(42:50) My favorite manufacturing process! This is a video for all perfectionists. It's great!
Glad you liked it!
Nice machine! It would be cool to beef it up with some epoxy granite. See what kind of performance difference there is.
My favorite piece is when you correct the fault with that band-aid :D :D :D
Haha. It always works if you don’t see it it doesn’t exist
Outstanding build! Your spindle looks like it's ISO30, not BT30, though. You're not set up for rigid tapping, so it really doesn't matter which one you use. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you.
Lovely machine, I wish one day i'll have some place and money to build similar one :)
Me parece muy interesante el video y debe salir muy económico hoy en día la precisión la da una maquina CNC
jippee! i made me myself a CNC milling machine, so now i can 3D-print me some door handles for it. lol, just kiddin'.
it's a really great job Vince! i surely want to do something like this myself but i dont think i will be able to complete such a masterpiece and have nor the knowledge but especially the patience to do so.
my brains already can and will make use of the Fehlmann and/or Mikron CNC machine's i use daily at my work, but i 'am affraid i dont think i have the knowledge to convince my boss that i need these to do some private fabricating for my own purpose.
thumbs-up! great job.
Thx Jan. I knew someone will pick on those 3D printer door handles lol. I normally try to stay away from printing parts unless I am lazy. Cheers.
Awesome Pro machine you got there. I am intending to make my self a small CNC machine for the use in the apartment. Seems to be able to make it I will need first some Chinese CNC than on it make upgrades to be able to make parts to make my own CNC. I will have to use aluminum though. I wish it gets like 1/10th stable as yours is. It will way smalle so it will be less of a challenge to. Seeing yours made me first happy to see someone builds something so cool and then sad while I do not have access to such tools to make one plus no space to have such a nice beast. Awesome work.
Super Fräse ich fräse alles mit einer konfentionellen Fräse und einem Rundfrästteiltisch . Das ist sehr aufwändig da ist deine Fräse besser für Duplikate geeignet .
What a lot of work! Great job and thanks for the video.
Just brilliant!
Although you managed to build it on your own and save a ton of cash, it shows, to me anyway, the engineering goes into the TOP end machines!
that is the nicest damn build I've seen so far on YT. I wish I had a Bridgeport mill to make the parts. I'd start tomorrow if I had the equipment. NICE BUILD, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!
Wow thats something to he proud of being able to do for sure
essa fresadora ficou ótima muito bom mesmo, meus parabéns.
Super clean build here! If only I had your resources!
excelente trabajo, pense que por la estructura vibraria pero quedo muy bien te felicito.
Great Project. awesome cnc mill. thanks for sharing.
