Hello. I am new to this thread and basicly what im trying to do is slowly build a 5 axis cnc machine for milling turbines and compressors i know this takes time and im in no rush as im a newbie at this but im determind and willing to learn. I am not worried about programming it (hardest part) as i have a friend who does this and can do it at a low price (If you guys need some programming code for anything email me and i can get him to do it for you for a good fee he is real good as he designed my compressor and turbine with solid works and part cfx). The machine basicly has to be able to make parts with a +/- 0.001 tolerance. I have a basic plan on what to do and i need some help to guide me the rest of the way. The first step i believe is to,
1. purchase the MICROLUX MILLING MACHINE from
http://www.micromark.com/ and some afforable precision anti backlash lead screws/ballscrews
2. purchase the Micro-Mill CNC kit #1 from
http://www.cncfusion.com/micromill1.html to convert to 3 axis cnc.
3. purchase stepper motors and stepper card controller perhaps from
http://www.xylotex.com/
From here im stuck and probably have some errors in step 1-3. What really getting me is the rotary table setup behind the spindle and setting it up on the bench. I know there are some pros here who can help me get through this with a nice step by step thanks.
