Building A DIY CNC Metal Lathe With CNC Control Using Mach 3

Danger DIY

March 1, 2023



Building a DIY CNC metal lathe with CNC control using Mach 3. Using steel, aluminum, bolts, nuts, and some parts from Amazon i created a 10 inch x 24 inch CNC metal lathe. Using a somewhat on the fly design of a metal lathe with a CNC controller. This video goes over the lathe build and there is a separate video (offered at the end and during the video) for the CNC drive that also covers a recap of the design of the lathe. I also thought it would be a good idea to hold a piece of aluminum I was sanding with a flap disc… It wasn’t a good idea, but a painful lesson as I almost cut off my left thumb.

NOTE: I have updated the head stock and cross slide and tool post to make it more rigid. See that new video update here: https://youtu.be/sBfbCSxcs3I

After testing and using the head stock as designed in this video the chatter is too high due to the overhang and vertical height versus rigidity of the thin steel on the rectangular tube I used for it. Look for the video here in a few weeks or subscribe and turn on notifications for an alert when it posts. I will also be releasing concentric readings and calibrate the z axis in an upcoming video as I work on fine tuning and completing setup.

Please like and subscribe. And if there is something you didn’t like please let me know and when I fix it I will thank you in my next video. This is one of my first videos and I am still learning. Thank you for watching.

DIY Epoxy Granite CNC Milling Machine Mold for the Bridge Part1

3D Meister

November 23, 2022



Building a casting mold for the bridge of the CNC machine with laminated boards; Threaded inserts for the linear guides, ballscrews, stepper mounting and the holes for the connection to the first part, the base. A granite board underneath provides the flatness. Inside edges are sealed with silicon and the inner faces are coated with separating wax.
Volume ca: 75 liter
All ready for the mineral cast with epoxy and rock and gravel…

I MADE A STEEL CNC MILL FROM SCRATCH (desktop version)

Somehow I got carried away by the comments in the last video and decided to sharpen my welding skills trying to rebuild the mill out of steel.

I remade the entire frame out of 40x40x2 steel box and TIG welded it using a technique called winging it. As a known side effect of this technique the frame is not square, straight, coplanar, or any of the required properties for the frame of a machine like this. I solved it by shimming almost everything on it with washers of different thicknesses and a lot of brute force. In the build of the aluminium one almost everything went perfect first try, in this build I had to wrestle with it a lot, way more than I’m capable to show in a single video. The machine is obviously more rigid than the aluminium one and after a lot of fiddling with it, it is surprisingly straight where it counts and seems to even be properly trammed.

As a bonus at the end of the video I decided to obliterate some aluminium and steel with the wrong dull bit and completely wrong feeds and speeds.

As always let me know what you think in the comments.

FAQ:
*How much did it cost?
I hope to finnish it under 10K. The grounded steel plates where a big part of the cost. So if you have access to a big mill or surface grinder. you can reduce that price a lot

*How long did it take:
I made it in 5 months, on and off. between stuff

*Would I recommend building your own cnc mill?
No, only if you like really like to build one, not just own one.

*Whats that drill?
It’s a magdrill. It sticks with a electro magnet to the surface your drilling in. Its a great tool for stuff like this but has somewhat limited use.

*Whats up with the plc?
Thats just a siemens powersupply 🙂

*CAD file:
fusion 360 file: https://a360.co/2NCSX05 (Warning: It’s more an initial sketch than a complete plan. I did a lot of changes when i started to build this)

*Parts:
bt30 spindle and servos are bought an aliexpress
35mm rails (Hiwin) + 25mm ballscrews /5mm pitch (ISEL) bought with a local supplier.
Flat grounded plates: came from misumi
controler: edingcnc iCNC600
