April 3, 2023

Now this is part 5 of the CNC conversion of a MANUAL MILLING MACHINE to a RETROFITTED CNC MILL. In this progress video I show the machining process of the gearbox cover to mount the servo adapter on it and the Y Axis CNC modification!

100 Year old Milling Machine Restoration and CNC Conversion

Rogue Scientist

February 10, 2023

Can you turn a 100 year old milling machine to a useful CNC mill? Let’s find out!

My dad bought this machine from a junkyard in the 60s. It’s probably around 100 years old by now. I wanted a CNC machine, but buying one was lame, so i figured i’d convert this mill. This project took some time, but i had to finish it since I need it for my work. I like the mix between the old cast iron frame and the modern stepper motors.

Whats with the rap music? Well, the youtube audio library has a ton of bad music to choose from. But i found one great artist called NEFFEX who has made his music free to use. The playlist is as follows:
No filter – NEFFEX
Tough – NEFFEX
Go Down Swinging – NEFFEX
it’s only woth it if you work for it – NEFFEX
No turning back – NEFFEX
Enough – NEFFEX
Back to the future – Ofshane

CNC Milling Machine on a Budget – Aciera F4 with Linux CNC

FliVisuals

January 29, 2023

Here is my 1960’s Aciera F4 Milling Machine which has been converted to CNC, complete with:

Mesa 7i76E FPGA board
2 x 12Nm, 1 x 9Nm Servo stepper motors
Ballscrews on X and Y axis
Inductive Limit Switches
Probe Basic GUI

The machine has been modified over the period of about 3 months, and will inevitably continue to evolve. It has been made with reasonable quality parts and has cost around £1500 to convert.

If you have any questions about the mill or if you would like more videos explaining the conversion in greater depth then let me know in the comments. Also if you are interested in using LinuxCNC in a project of your own, checkout their Facebook group, as well as the Feral Engineer.

Cheers!
