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!

DIY CNC Milling machine build.
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 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.

I needed a better CNC router so I took to FreeCAD to create a workable design. I sourced up all the parts and welded the frame together. I slapped a 6-axis GRBL build onto an Arduino Mega 2560, piped it into a breadboard and out to some Nema23 steppers. They roll through 3D printed gears to ballscrews that drive the whole mess.
When it was all done, four months had passed. I routered up some softwood, then engraved some acrylic. I wrote an autoleveler into my CNC controller software, then probed and milled a circuit board. Finally, I stumbled through trying to mill 0.25” aluminum with a HSS bit. Darn near didn’t get that done.
In the end, I have a new CNC router that should be more than capable of doing the things I need done for the next few years. I hope you enjoy the video. If you want to look at the CAD file, or try to make one of these, visit this web page:

Hi, I know it’s been awhile since i’ve posted last. but I’ve been busy, plus this project took a lot of research and fabrication. So the table has 3 axis, x, y and z. there are two stepper motors that run the x axis, and one for both y and z. I’m using an Arduino mega with GRBL which is an opensource CNC program that is compatible with all kinds of homemade machines. I am also using universal G-Code sender to send my designs as code, to the Arduino. I glossed over many parts of the project in the video, so if you have questions be sure to ask.
Here is some of the purchased equipment I used for this build:
