My objective for this project was to design and build a CNC milling machine without the need for any machining of the parts. Ordinarily, building a mill requires a much bigger mill to get the axis surfaces flat and parallel.
By using aluminium tool plate (which is in theory pre-machined flat) and bolting the critical components rather than welding, it should be possible to avoid any machine work. After all, I’m building a mill because I don’t have one!
Linear rails and ball screws are the cheap Chinese 20mm style that you can find on eBay etc.

#cncmachines In this video you’re going to learn about the different types of CNC machines. We’ll cover the benefits and limitations of each machine, and how they work.
00:00 Introduction. What you’ll learn in this video.
1:10 Overview of the different types of CNC machines. Here, we’ll provide a complete overview of the different types of CNC machines we will be explaining.
1:35 3 axis CNC machines. We’ll start by explaining how 3 axis CNC turning and CNC milling machines work.
1:54 CNC milling machines. Next, you’ll learn about CNC milling machines and why they are one of the most common machines in use. After that, we’ll show you how they work and finally touch on some of the benefits and limitations of CNC milling machines.
3:01 CNC turning machines, or lathes. In this section, we’ll talk about the difference between CNC milling machines and CNC turning machines. After that, you’ll see how a tuning machine works.
3:58 Multi axis, or 5 axis, CNC machines. Moving on to 5 axis machines, you’ll learn that they rotate on 5 axis, making them different from 3 axis CNC machines. The general benefits and imitations of 5 axis machines are briefly discussed.
4:49 Indexed 5-axis CNC milling machines. Or 3 + 5 CNC machines. In this section of the video, we’ll explain how an indexed 5-axis machine works and what some of the benefits and limitations are.
5:25 Continuous 5-axis CNC machines. We’ll start this part of the video by explaining why continuous 5 axis CNC machines are different from Index 5-axis CNC machines. You’ll see how a continuous 5-axis machine works and we’ll cover some of the benefits and limitations of this machine.
6:00 Mill-turning CNC centers. Here, Mill-turning CNC centers are explained and why this machine is a good hybrid of a turning and milling machine.
6:45 Recap of the video.

I have been wanting to get my hands on one of these cheap CNC kits for quite some time. It is more of a curiosity, rather than an investment. I want to know what can you get for $200. I have seen these CNC machines on ebay for a long time, but I recently saw a listing on sale for less than $200, so I took the gamble. This is a CNC 3018 Pro from Vevor. In this video I’ll unbox it, assemble it, go through my first impressions and take a few test cuts in various materials. I hope you enjoy the video.

G’day everyone, I have been wanting to get my hands on one of these cheap CNC kits for quite some time. It is more of a curiosity, rather than an investment. I want to know what can you get for $200. I have seen these CNC machines on ebay for a long time, but I recently saw a listing on
In recent years Fibre optic laser cutting machines have become the driving force behind the global production of sheet metal parts. WATCH NEXT VIDEO: https://youtu.be/-6JLYbaj520
The growing variety of products and smaller machines have forced manufacturers to move away from traditional methods of profiling with dies in favour of this modern fibre laser technology.
Modern laser cutters enable very high cutting performance while maintaining the ability to cut single parts and small or large batches without having to invest in expensive equipment.
Unlike the older generation of CO2 lasers, fibre lasers consume much less energy, and thanks to the shorter wavelength, the laser beam can be focused to a smaller diameter, which allows for faster cutting speeds.
Today we will see what solutions Poland manufacturer – Kimla are producing with this fibre technology.
