FAQ:
*How much did it cost?
I hope to finnish it under 10K. The grounded steel plates where a big part of the cost. So if you have access to a big mill or surface grinder. you can reduce that price a lot
*How long did it take:
I made it in 5 months, on and off. between stuff
*Would I recommend building your own cnc mill?
No, only if you like really like to build one, not just own one.
*Whats that drill?
It's a magdrill. It sticks with a electro magnet to the surface your drilling in. Its a great tool for stuff like this but has somewhat limited use.
*Whats up with the plc?
Thats just a siemens powersupply :)
*CAD file:
fusion 360 file: a360.co/2NCSX05 (Warning: It's more an initial sketch than a complete plan. I did a lot of changes when i started to build this)
*Parts:
bt30 spindle and servos are bought an aliexpress
35mm rails (Hiwin) + 25mm ballscrews /5mm pitch (ISEL) bought with a local supplier.
Flat grounded plates: came from misumi
controler: edingcnc iCNC600

Watching those zeros line up at 10:20 made my eyes water
Haha, just a lot of luck. Thanks!
i agree with you
He should have left the dykem on the plates for the other half a thousands...
WTF, the entire build in 1 video?..... U r god.
Thanks Man! :)
yeah.. fucking savage
well a lot of shortcuts, no details, merely a public display, wouldn't call that a DIY video

I clicked expecting one of those hacky CNC mill builds. This guy just made a heavy-duty, industrial manufacturing tool :D This is PROPER!
"This is probably a bad idea.... But I am going to do it anyway"
This is how legends are made
True 👌
Well ...yes, you can certainly call this a CNC mill ....BUT ....it has been proven ....long ago ....that a steel frame machine is NOT the best way to make any kind of of mill or lathe. Most engineers know this ...but it is the inexperienced engineers who will still make a machine from steel.
Steel has a far better "E" value, but it vibrates and "rings". Cast iron does NOT vibrate. It has dampening qualities which is why machine tool manufacturers use cast iron ...MEEHANITE, being recognized as the best composition for machinery applications. Companies have already made both lathes and mills from fabricated steel and have found out they don't perform well at all. No machine tool company makes a steel frame machine for marketing.
If you are going to machine only non-ferrous or phenolic materials, yes, this frame will probably be fine.
@@taxicamel ok taxi camel we get it stop repeating the same drivel. Id love to see you DIY CNC it must be a thing of beauty.

Some call this engineering. Some call this manufacturing. I call this art.
Thanks :)
I call this impressive AF :)
GOOD engineering is an ART! GOOD engineers are born not make.
The art of engineering it is.
@@dadillen5902 studying engineering is when an engineer sharpens himself.
By far the best DIY CNC build I've ever seen. Amazing job.
Thanks man!
I agree! This is the mill we have all wanted to build.
You must not have seen Marco Reps’s one.
Check out Dan Gelbart's air-bearing CNC lathe with granite ways.
OuijaSTi that doesn’t count he’s on another level 😂
My guy just produced a $30k machine in his spare time.
I can't even imagine how much planning must have gone into this. A masterpiece.
Hey 5 minutes, with a bit of editing ;)
This is unbelievable. I run cnc machines for a living, and this blew my mind. This dude is an absolute genius. New sub 😁
Seriously.. this guy built a CNC in front of my eyes. 10/10 for video editing skills as well.
Excellente
Omygosh 💖
The collet lock mechanism, smooth travel speed and capable rpm (demonstrated by how it performed going through the aluminum) + pretty tight tolerances are all super nice on this machine

@Ilyas Nassyrov LeL
I invented CNC!
Perfect materials, perfect tools, perfect skills, OMG this is so unfair ... great job man, thanks for showing us a piece of metal working heaven.
This goes to show that people are more capable than they they sometimes think. There is a lot to be said for believing in the efficacy of your own efforts and just giving something an honest shot. People are too afraid to fail sometimes, but that's how you learn, and that's how great things get made. Sometime you just have to give a crazy idea a full go.
Nick Joslin I’m not so sure he thought he was incapable of building the equipment I think he was more saying it was a bad idea because now he’s just going to do more CNC milling stuff.
Some small mistake somewhere will make this CNC useless. That's why he is saying it's a bad idea. After all the money and time its not worth it. Its. It's better to buy a fully tested product if you don't want to waist/risk the $$$$$ you put in.
Why don't people build their own car? All the parts are available....
@@madTube1 They don't build a car for many reasons. For those that want to, most of the reasons lead back to being realistic about your capabilities or doubting your capabilities. Both equate to I can't. On that mental battlefield is where ideas go to fight and unfortunately die.
Yeah, it's DEFINITELY a good idea to give "an honest shot" by spending thousands of dollars on an idea that might fail..
The most amazing build I have ever seen. It must be real pleasure to see your work come together like this and then every time you use it as well.
The amount of work and skill needed to do this is unbeliveable
This is 21st century artisanry in its purest form. Absolute joy to watch
My man I am deeply impressed with your precision with hand tools and a mag drill... my god dude you are a talented machinist I’m saving this video to watch over and over lol it’s like so satisfying to watch
This - exactly. He showed that you don't need a fully equipped modern shop to do something great!
This guy really doesn't get stuck in the weeds overthinking minute details or aesthetics, just gets it done and does it right the first time. I commend that. This is an amazing project to be sure.
I keep coming back to this video as I prepare to build my CNC router/mill. This build is elegantly simple, but it requires the highest levels of craftsmanship to build it with the methods used and tolerances achieved. The video editing is well done, too.
Can help me to know list of electrical components you use,I am real appreciate but Ido not know where I can start
There should be a person like you in every neighbourhood! Thumbs up
Hi Kris, it's wonderful to see a new video from you! The perfect marriage of art and engineering.
Thanks Kent! Watched a lot of your videos while doing research for this!
@@KrisTemmermanNP Wow, I'm humbled. I take a lot of inspiration from you. You have a great gig! If only we could make the days longer. Thank you
I come here again and again just to enjoy the sheer craftsmanship.
Finally The best construction of a mill I’ve seen on RUclips.
From the land down under 🇦🇺
I'm out of words... This is so satisfying in so many levels, it's like my wildest dreams come true
Builds own well thought out CNC

He saved one thought by not having to decide if it was inside out. Very efficient.
Electronics engineer without much mechanical experience. I learned so much from watching this. I've built two CNCs but if I use 10% of what I learned from you I'll build much better machines. Absolutely brilliant work
Serious respect for building such a cool project. I admire your knowledge and skill!
Best effort-value ratio I have seen in a long time. Good job!
Thanks man!
That was extremely satisfying to watch. Thank you.
This is one of the most insane builds Ive ever seen. 10/10
Amazing concatenation of skills and cleverness. Rarely I learned so much in a video, and probably never on a 10’ one. Thank you !
Fantastic build! I'm impressed with the precision using a mag drill! The granite plate helps, but hitting the marks still takes skill and patience. Well done!
Kris: Hi guys, I will try to make a vertical milling cnc... maybe...
*A HUGE HIGH LEVEL VERTICAL MILLING CNC WAS MADE IN ONE SIMPLE AND PLEASANT VIDEO*
aka 3 Achs milling
Thanks man :)
I was not expecting a mill of that magnitude. Brilliant. He needs to put his name on it, so cool!
The best DIY cnc build I've ever seen. Clean & quality workmanship! Thank you for sharing knowledge!!
Thanks 👍
I am an automechanic and a lot of times i have to make "special"tools but seen this video im speechless.you are a damn genius.
I can't access the speechless.you website ! Please refresh link !
Joking of course :)
Might be the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen.
Yeah same here!
i use to mount cnc machines as a technicien and i had around 10 engineers. this guy is in another level
Omg! My mind is blown! You are true talent! Congratulations! 👏👏👏👏
I have no words! the best i´ve seen in cnc!!!

Ow :( Watched a lot of his videos while doing research for this. Thanks :)
Lmfao
I scrolled down to write this, you were quicker than me.
@@ziopoe haha
Who is Marco Reps ???
This was magnificent and inspiring. Amazing job in the planning and execution.
This is absolutely amazing, you are not only an engineer but also a genius! the accuracy looks great when you measure the workpiece with a micrometer.
100% Skill level, not only in mech, but also in the electronics. Good job
Did you do any test cuts on steel? I'd love to see more how does this setup perform on steel milling. Awesome work!
If you could upload a bill of materials that would be great.
Bob B i would like this aswell
He could but then he’d have to charge you for it
love to get this BOM, love to pay something for it
@Joker Toker it's that dang loch ness monster again!
Your video makes building CNC machine look like sunday afternoon project. Really impresive build, great result!
Man, you are my hero from now on...pure art!
Nice work! I would of liked to see how you managed the axes alignments. Specifically bring the spindle axis inline with Z, and subsequently those back perpendicular to XY0.
Would love to know how it penciled out cost-wise.
Great job!
@TheBinfordMan & Scenic Harbor I'll second that. Good used mills are getting to be like hens teeth, and pricey too!
Should be around 7000-8000€
This guy did it for under 10k idk what currency, I saw another guy do it for $4500 Canadian.
Kris know's what he is doing ,simply the best bravo !
I bow my head to knowledge and dedication. maaaan you nailed it.
You are the best!!!

You are best 👍 realy Nice work 😊
Watching you working has made my day
Mann this is the best DIY CNC build I've ever seen on YT
Fantastic effort. I've never managed to stop welded structures from warping, I'm surprised you didn't find that an issue. I'd recommend filling the frame base sides in with panels, greatly increasing the frame stiffness. The hollow sections can also be filled with concrete, the mass will stabilise the machine a lot, and kill frame vibration with a lot of damping.
You will never stop welds from pulling, the art is learning to weld in a way that the pull works for you rather than against you.
Boy do I feel dumb, I have a hard time putting the Christmas tree up..
hahahah best comment
Yeah. Obviously this guy knows machining already and has been doing it for years. The average person without the knowledge or experience would not be able to do this!
Absolutely amazing! It was certainly a pleasure to watch your video! Well done!
Wow, what an ambitious project, and yet you make it seem almost effortless. Well done, sir!
WoW: Well done my friend. Best of luck!
Incredible. I feel a bit frustrated that I cant repair a simple 3d printer after seeing this lol
Word cant convey how precise and artist you are. You are perfect machine creator❤❤❤❤
This eding cnc controller is a new one for me. Everyone is talking about centroid controllers.
these 4 zeros on the meter break youtube's porn guidelines
Love that this was done without another mill as most the diy projects I've seen require you to already have a full machine shop
This just gave me a fabricatorgasm!!!Genius!
Hi I noticed that you put all the controllers and the rest of the electrics on a wooden plate.
As a mechatronics technician at my company I have built and wired a lot if electric cabinets and please change this to an aluminium plate because wood can burn if ever anything should overheat or short in there. Also I work with frequency converters aswell as servo motora which usually get very hot during use. An aluminium backplate would also act as a heatsink.
It's just some advice I'm trying to give.
And I am impressed how you just built a CNC machine because you wanted to. Respect
Who cares if wood can burn? If everything is working right it should be no issue. If all of his din rail is bonded it should be no problem.
And he used stand off rail to create an air gap between the back of the servo controllers and the wood panel. Even if you used aluminum as a backplate the heat would be absorbed into the aluminum and just heat up the interior of the cabinet quicker.
@@RadDadisRad Look all I did was to give some professional advice. And the servo controller get very hot during use which is why they NEED a heatsink. This problem is solved in the industry by putting them directly on a aluminium back plate so it can transfer the heat away from the controller faster which reduces the risk of Mal function due to overheating. And if you put a fan in the cabinet (would be necessary in either case) you fix the problem of cooling the cabinet
I also, As a mechatronics technician, also cringed with the wooden plate. Also worth pointing that some controllers, inverters, servo drivers use the heat sink as a grounding point.
Also, I've never seen an aluminium backplate btw; Here All of them are made of Steel.
Seems like a reasonable suggestion.
Beautiful! But still, when i see all of your tools and machines it makes me wanna cry ;(
Thanks Miklas! :)
Holy Cwap! I can’t imagine doing this myself. Very Impressive.
Wow, when I clicked on this I figured it was going to be some hack conversion of a Grizzly. Boy was I wrong!
Homemade but way more precision then Tormach mills for sure.
I hope so :) Thanks!
This is way better than tormach
@P F he can chim it later tho. But i agree that wasnt perfect
@P F This was very limited information in a quick time-lapse that was only a tiny fraction of time spent on this project! I doubt any precision geometric scraping was done off camera but your comment about grinding isn't valid, you could scrape much closer than a ground surface and keeping with the primitive theme of the build I would use a granite square to bring it in, again closer than mating ground surfaces with error! He didn't show any servo tuning on camera which can also cause dimensional inaccuracies even with a rigid geometrically aligned machine with zero lash!
Im extremely impressed by this
OMG. wonderful. I have worked in cnc machine manufacturing unit it took us months to manufctature. One man show, really hats up.
Amazing work and very inspirational. Really interested in how much this cost and the time spent building it.
5 months of work (in between other stuff). I hope to finnish it under 10K euros. Its not cheap.
The flat plates where a big part of that. So I think you can make it much cheaper if you have access to a big mill/surface grinder.
Huge respect ! How many hours to design and build this machine ?
Not sure, but a lot (worked on it +- 5 months on and off)
But I know I spend more than 95% of that time drilling and tapping holes ;)
@@KrisTemmermanNP how much did it cost?
@@LittleRainGames I can tell it it cost a lot of money all the material and electronics cost money and that not counting the work involved easier and cheaper to get a new one:-)))))))))
@@johnhili8664 Yes, but this thing is HEAVY DUTY! Unless he got the materials at wholesale, most likely he didn't save much. Anyone can purchase one, BUT he has the satisfaction of saying, "I built this!" To an engineer and/or builder, that sense of accomplishment (pride) really doesn't have a price.
@@partsdave8943 No problem Dave if you are happy I am happy:-)) I still say its a waste of time and money:-)
You sir have worked around and fixed these machines haven't you!? I work with them constantly and I would love to make one so maybe one day I can. Thank you! You are a man of talents and you've worked hard to achieve it. Good job!!
Have built two cnc machines, one plasma and one router. I see now my next will be a mill. Thanks for the video! Most excellent work.
Thats awsome man, you should sell those things
Then it would'nt be cheaper than others, because it was really a lot of work.
I wish the video was at least 30 mins long, 10 mins is definitely disrespect for this machine
I'll try to make longer videos next time :) Thanks!
@@KrisTemmermanNP buil me one but 1/3 smaller fir a tabletop
Put the settings to .25 speed and it will be 44 minutes long!
@@garywheeler7039afterall somebody knew math
It would be nice make it like a series with more information etc.
Beautiful work, by someone who obviously knows what they're doing. Nicely done!
When you were drilling the mounting holes in the first ground axis plate, and had it clamped to the huge chunk of square tube, what did you do to prevent the ground plate from conforming to the surface of the square tube?
It didn't look like the square tube had been ground flat and, then, you did a bunch of welding on it. Wouldn't that cause distortions in the tube, in addition.
Thanks.... incredible build. Would be curious how you came out, budget-wise. I'm about to build a non-CNC mill, but with parts and pieces, instead of from scratch. It won't be nearly as ambitious, nor as elegant, I'm sure. lol
GeoD
I could see myself attempting this... however you had some very specific castings I wouldn't even know where to get or what to call them. Were they necessary, or could they have been blocked and fabbed up with traditional raw steel?
Those castings are being mounted between the spindle and the ATC cylinder, so that the spindle servo drive tooth belt can still drive the spindle.
Should be avail from the same mob you can get the spindle, ATC cylinder or spindle servo from.
Or you can omit this completely and get a high rpm (12k+ spindle with ATC inclusive) if you don't need to cut (a lot) of steel with big diameter tooling.
Using a servo and a separate spindle is for CNC-ing steel, as one needs torque.
I bought them together with the spindle. Its posible to make it your self if you have something to bore out the hole. A big lathe or something. :)
I'm thoroughly impressed!
Crazy man ...I never saw making milling machine diy this scale. Awesome. Big inspiration
8:39 I think this might give you some tiny misalignments by having a paint coating between the contact surfaces of the frame and the z axis.
There's no way the steel frame is good enough anyway, so it doesn't matter for alignment. I think he's not fully showing a lot of the alignment he had to do between the axis.
@@chaklee435 what is wrong with steel? The wall thickness on that RHS, that isn't going to flex with that spindle and motors pressing on it.
10:33 Were you able to determine the source allowing the deflection in the column ?
Probably scew vs distance (steps/rotation) calibration
Best cnc diy build on youtube
That was one professional piece of ART!
"I use my tools to make more tools"
Can you send me the links for buying the servos, controllers and all of the electronics ?
Added a FAQ in the description :)
I have dreamed of having skills like yours. Fabrication and electrical required for a project like this. Your attention to detail. Super nice work!
What a masterful build hats off
When I saw the title I was like "no way its gonna be accurate or rigid".......boy was I wrong that's a freaking tank
Me too
GOOD NIGHT...
ANY PRICE ???
$$$$ ???
Around 10k in desc. Roughly the cost of a Tormach 440 (the Tormach having no servos and no linear rails) hence the Tormach reference in beginning of video. So Kris' build is amazing for the cost.
Great job designing and building this CNC Mill and thank you for filming it.
Cheers
