In this video i will show you around my homemade diy cnc mill.
I started this project a couple of years ago with the aim to build a cnc milling machine from scrap metal.
The project is far from finished but in this video i show the machine cutting steel with a 12mm carbide insert end mill.

From http://www.kevincaron.com – Artist Kevin Caron explains why he chose to buy the Dynatorch Super B CNC Plasma Table, from features to support ….
Kevin Caron just bought a new Dynatorch Super B 4×4 Plasma CNC table.
A plasma CNC table is a plasma cutter – like a handheld plasma torch used to cut metal, but the torch is attached to a gantry that moves it back and forth. It’s computer controlled – you design the part in CAD, then run your file through another format that the machine can see. Then you bring the file to the table and let it do all the cutting for you. Kevin Caron is going to do a series on the table, explaining how to use the software so everything can talk together, showing how the table cuts, etc.
The best thing about a plasma CNC table? It gets rid of the shake from a handheld plasma torch. When Kevin Caron is using a handheld torch, you can literally see the result of his heartbeat in the shake of the cut.
If you’re not running your handheld torch against a guide, you’re going to have a wiggle. Now this table will be Kevin Caron’s new guide.
Of all the plasma cutting CNC tables available, the reason Kevin Caron bought a Dynatorch is that it seems to be the best made. It has the thickest metal – he checked the shipping weight of available tables to see which was the heaviest for its size.
This table also came with the plasma cutter. You can pick which size of plasma cutter you want – what amperage you want based upon how thick of metal you want to cut – but the table includes the plasma cutter itself. It also came with the right torch for that size of plasma cutter.
It included a desktop computer with the software already loaded.
There were also cut marks in the table where they had tested it before shipping it to Kevin Caron. Dynatorch had hooked up that desktop computer and that plasma torch and cut on that table – they even sent a disk showing it in operation so you know it was running before they put it in the crate.
The biggest thing that persuaded Kevin Caron to choose Dynatorch, though, was the tech support. The company put an extra program on the computer that allows a customer call tech support, push one button (or two) on the computer, and let Dynatorch run the table remotely.
Kevin Caron can talk with them at the same time, while they run the computer, then use the camera and speakerphone on his phone to show them what is happening. “It’s just like having the guy standing right there next to you,” says Kevin Caron.
Some other cool features: the torch is mounted on magnets. So if anything should hit it, it releases and the machine turns off.
Kevin Caron got the optional stainless steel water pan that sits underneath the cutting area. You fill it up about halfway with water, then, as you are cutting, the water helps contain the dust and smoke.
Kevin Caron really likes that the company thought about all of these details.
He’s played with the CNC table a little so far, making some parts for his sculpture Roundabout ( http://www.kevincaron.com/art_detail/roundabout.html ). As soon as he gets more experienced with the table and process, he’ll show how to start, then make a part right through cutting, walking everyone through the whole process.
Kevin Caron is ready to make some more parts, so you have time to subscribe to this channel to see new how-to videos every Wednesday, and to visit http://www.kevincaron.com to see his wild work.
Well, you might want to stick around another moment to see Kevin Caron display his graceful side ….

#FabricationTips #KevinCaronArt
From http://www.kevincaron.com – Finally Kevin Caron takes the file he has been working on and makes some sparks cutting out a metal part on his CNC plasma cutting table ….
After creating the file and preparing it in SheetCam, Kevin Caron is finally ready to cut out his sculpture base using his Dynatorch Super B 4×4 plasma CNC cutting table.
Now it’s time to put the part, which Kevin Caron transferred to a thumb drive, into the computer and program that runs the CNC machine.
Before you open the program in the computer, you have to turn on the CNC plasma table. Once the table is on, the computer lets you know with a little sound.
Next you open the “Dynatorch SuperB CNC” program. You accept the little warning, then allow the machine to go through its warm up routine and the table homes itself. Then you open the file, so Kevin Caron opens the file of the base plate with its four bolt holes.
Before cutting out the base plate, though, Kevin Caron likes to do a dry run of the cut, just to make sure your metal plate is positioned properly on the sheet of metal. To do so, you make sure that your torch height control and the button that turns on the torch are “grayed out.” Then when you click on “Start cycle,” the program – and CNC table – will go through the motions without cutting.
Now Kevin Caron knows that that his sheet of 1/2″ steel is sitting in the right position. He has water in the table to cut down the smoke and dust. He’s got his ground attached and the plasma cutter is on and cranked up, so now it’s time to turn on the table and make some sparks!
He clicks on the two buttons that were grayed out (torch height control and plasma cutter activation). Then he clicks the “Start cycle” button and the table starts cutting the metal. It takes about 2:09 minutes to cut out the bolt holes and the plate itself.
Kevin Caron then uses his permanent lifting magnet and engine hoist to lift the base plate out of the metal and shows the edge. The cut is “as smooth as a baby’s butt,” Kevin Caron declares. He points to a little dross around the edge and says increasing the cutting speed a little might eliminate that.
The bolt holes look perfect.
Kevin Caron is ready to go back to work, so you have time to click on the “notification bell” in the upper righthand corner of the YouTube screen to be the first to know when he uploads a new video, and to visit http://www.kevincaron.com to see more how-to videos.
Well, you might want to stick around for another moment to see Kevin Caron flub his mother’s advice ….
