My objective for this project is 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 aluminum 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.

About the PM30 CNC build – What parts to chose, what they cost, and where to get them – Including a close look at the Tormach Tool System (TTS). CNC Conversion Essentials: 0:20 – Ball Screws 1:16 – Mill & Accessories 4:18 – Motor Kit Options 5:44 – CNC Controller Options CNC Conversion Extras: 7:30 – Tormach Tool System (TTS)
In this episode I use my brother’s CNC router (that he originally built for making guitars) to machine out the Z axis motor mount and I build my own 70 volt DC power supply for the stepper motors…
Transformer: Toroidal 750VA 230v AC – 24 x 24 AC output – wired in series – AirlinkTransformers.com
Vishay GBPC3504-E4/51 Bridge Rectifier
3x 4700μF 100V DC 35mm Capacitors
2x 1K2 5W resistors wired in series to discharge capacitors when mains power removed.
Still to do – Fuse the 48V output from transformer and individual outputs to Stepper Drivers.

In this video I begin wiring up the machine, mounting the limit switches and attaching the drag chain for the X axis wiring.

This time I’m building the Z axis and mounting it to the column. I’m probably going to regret saying this, but hopefully this concludes the majority of the locating, drilling and tapping of holes.
