Hi guys - I'm just about to start assembling my new CNC mill which will hopefully also have a lathe on the table

After using a Seig X1 for about 6 months or so, I've come to the conclusion that I need something with bigger travels, more accuracy and a lot more speed.

My plan was to build something with bigger travels than a Sieg X3 but lighter due to aluminium construction. I have however already failed on that design goal - this thing will be a lot heavier than an X3 - desptite being mostly aluminium!

I have also gone way over budget - but having decided that I wanted ballscrews, linear slides and servos, I knew this wasn't going to be cheap!


I will post some CAD renders when I've cleaned them up a bit - I still have some details that I won't have tied up until I have the extrusion in my hands.
