DIY CNC Milling Machine Build (Part 12) – Limit switches, Wiring and Drag Chain

Seabass Engineering

December 10, 2022



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

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.

DIY CNC Milling Machine Build (Part 7) – Z Axis Construction

Seabass Engineering

December 4, 2022



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.

This time I screw with my balls…

This video covers the installation of the ball screws and ball nuts.

DIY CNC Milling Machine Build (Part 14) Building a CNC enclosure with 3030 aluminium extrusion

Seabass Engineering

November 30, 2022



In this video I’ll be building the enclosure around the machine. I have used 3030 aluminium extrusion to construct the frame and 4mm polycarbonate for the doors and front panel. I used a cheaper (but arguably less safe) material for the sides where people are much less likely to be stood if a cutter tries to escape!

I also make some rail extensions and install bellows on the X and Y axes, as well as begin to mount the spindle clamp to Z axis.

In the next episode i’ll be mounting and wiring up the Chinese 3KW ER20 spindle!
