Hi everybody,

I've started a new project, and wanted to share it for anybody interested. It's a larger mill than all my previous builds, and is nearly as big as I think I can practically make in my workshop :drowning:

I originally called this a Benchtop machine, but realistically it's a little bigger than that so I don't really know how to classify it. I'll have some wheels underneath so it can be moved around readily when necessary, so maybe it can be called the MobileVMC™

In contrast to my other CNC projects, this one is to be pretty much all steel. It'll use NSK ball screws, THK caged ball linear bearings, and brushless servo axis drives. I'd like to enclose it so I can use flood coolant when necessary and to keep the noise down as well.

Hopefully it'll be a decently capable machine when it's done. I'm certainly looking forward to a larger work envelope than my current baby CNC mills

Cheers,

Jason

Here's the first few parts:
