Hi Craig, thanks again for your help and time, the laser cut steel seems like a good option and could make it exactly the size I need, however I don't have access easily to a big metal workshop or...

I think with this Vertex angle plate and some risers I win more space and is much more simple to build, just for the frame with the granite base and big angle plate we are looking around 30 kg, I...

Yes I think this would be great since cast iron has even better vibration dampening than steel, I think if I search I will be able to get exactly two thin ones at the size I need, the ones in the pic...

Yeah maybe this is the way to go, also the granite squares in my design take a lot of space of the bottom plate and I end up with less Y travel, the only thing that worries me is that cutting steel...

Hi Craig, thanks again for your help.

So if I understand correctly the smaller the leadscrew the better the 100W servo should work right? Right now if really the price difference is so small I may...

OK I get your point, is that with 100w motors I will not reach the limit of the frame or spindle anytime soon and makes no sense, like having a racing car with wood wheels sort of situation.

Wow Craig you make these calculations seem easy, thanks for your time, cool to hear that 100w should work, I wanted to share this build too because I think is similar on what my mill idea looks like,...

I get your point and understand that is always better to have enough power, but for the intended use of my machine witch is for watchmaking parts I think is good, the good way to do it of course...

Thanks for the answer, why do you think 100w servos are too little? my reasoning is that I've seen bigger machines, like 200kg and 2kw spindles use 400w servos, and I have seen a similar power...

Hey guys I appreciate your talk on frame material, however after some research seems that granite is the winner, in most ultra precision cnc mills the frame or base is granite or granite epoxy, the...

Hello fellow CNC nerds!

Im a watchmaker by profession and recently we got a CNC at work and I really enjoy working on it,

So I'd like to build a tiny one that I can have it in my flat ( I live...
