I have been aiming for the Best possible finish from the cnc machine. I don't care if its DIY or not. Only the results are...
my favorite part as well :) its 9tons of coolant per hour :D
i noticed that those balls in rails don't have the contact on the whole surface.or they ride on 2 points on the sides of the grove or in the middle.
roller guides have much bigger contact surface,...
thanks, glad you liked the series :)
with those rails you have to install them to a micron really. other wise your whole frame will be deforming while you moving your table/gantry.
they don't...
i have been upgrading my granite cnc to have the best possible finish.
I think it worked out quite well :)

In this video I will make a Submicron precision Z Axis from the plates I have lapped in the previous video.
I will show my approach in the assembly and fine tuning...
I thought it might be interesting to see if it is possible to scrape aluminium flat.
I haven't seen much in this topic so i give it a go.
Turns out it is possible to do it, and to do it reasonably...
I bought this machine my self.. it kinda works but not as you would imagine after looking at the picture in the store.
So i made a video about it showing quite a lot of details and workflow..
...
thanks for the options.
i went with UC300eth-5lpt.
has good speed, easy to install and plenty of outputs.
thanks :)

I'm looking for something...
New practical and sleek improvement on my CNC machine. It's not just making it look pretty - it does pretty good job keeping the machine clean and low maintenance! No annoying chips stuck in the...
I have been using this spindle for over a year now and i would like to share with you some tests i have made.
also i run this spindle to its limits, or actually to the vfd limits.
i was really...
spindle is great. i have converted 100kg of aluminium in to chips, and its still running like it was new.if for some reason i will kill it i will buy exactly the same one.
another great point is...
Given the z-axis' plate width, what is the maximum travel along the width of the machine?
granite surface plate is 900mm x 600mm Z axis plate with is 200mm so the travel is 700mm
Given the...
my whole point was to show the difference between commonly used cheep ebay spindle and something decent.
so people have some reference point. otherwise its just pretty nice and shiny cylinder.
and...
recently i bought Chinese ATC spindle, because there is very limited amount of information about it I made a review of it with some explanations and demonstrations.
I hope it it could help.
...
looks great! :)
i like the paint job. you have to show some parts you have cut on it.
awerby,
i drilled granite and used inserts, check my first video, one picture is worth 1000 words :)
Its kinda hard to explain how i squared everything. i think it will be in the first video as...
520052, this is my main concern. but on the other hand I won't be hogging cubic meters/min on this machine.
I wanted to do this machine by myself at my workshop. if i would choose any other...
Hey, I just finished my solid granite cnc machine and i would like to share results and process of making it.

i have put them in the computer case. so cables are going directly to the cnc.
less boces and more space.
we have been talking here about electric noise. not audio noise.
I do agree with guys here that water pump could be less noisy. quieter.
machine from technical point of view is really really...
another video from my experiments with 6040 Chinese machine.
this time i tried regular shielded MIDI cable.
the difference is huge! :D
also small test on the controller box :)
check this out:...
as a hobby project (third one, i had only one before i bought this machine) i will do video progress of debugging it. and random tests.
i can foresee that at the end of this road i will have to buy...
that was the working hours, i meant days, form getting the machine to the stage of working machine :)
waiting for parts, etc. I'm guessing that this took like a month.
how long did it take you, to make it work as it should since you bought it?
I think that it might be quite vital question for someone who have a job in mind which he would like to do right away.
well, now i see my future with this machine.. G540 :)
i have to say that i was really pist off at the first go. because i bought this machine to do some work on my already big project. and now i...
