Hello there
I'm currently building a new shop, after moving out of an old basement. I got my first micro CNC mill about 6 years ago, when I was ~14 yrs old.
With the added space & new concrete floor there was the possibility to get a machining center.
So I'm currently working on a 1999 Fadal VMC 4020, rebuilding it a bit.
While doing that I'm video-documenting the whole process, publishing a new video weekly. I put my heart in these videos and there is a lot to come. I'll do my best to post some pictures and loose some words on what's happening from time to time.
I read a lot on this forum, and would welcome anyone who's interested and like-minded to share some thoughts with me

There's 5 videos at the moment. Last episode I rebuilt the enclosure and the waycovers a bit, and fixed some small things, next episode I will disassemble the ballscrews and thrust bearings in X & Y.
all the best,
