    vmc cnc milling machine with cast iron body

    Hi everyone,

    this machine is one of my best projects that I have done ( of course in my eyes ). it took me almost six months because I had to do many things at the same time.
    finally, it came out party well even more than I expected at that time. I will post a few photo from the beginning up to end.

    please don't hesitate and let me know if you have any comment.

    Wow, this is an excellent build, I can't believe no one has commented on this yet. The resources alone required to build something even close to what you have created is a milestone.

    Any updates on the build in regards to enclosure, ATC?

    Any chance you have any CAD drawings of your design? I'd love to take a look at it in more detail, perhaps even utilize a design similar to yours with a build in epoxy granite.

    One of the best casting DIY CNC project I have ever seen! That is very nice work! I guess we missed this since it was from June when we were all working on Summer fun. :-)
