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.

After a long period of searching I finally decided to buy this CNC 6040 Router. There are many good options with specific pros and cons, but in the end the(unbeatable) price/quality ratio of the CNC 6040 Router was for me the deciding factor.

The machine was purchased on ebay.uk and send from Germany to the Netherlands for £ 50. In two separate delivery’s I received the CNC 6040 Router within 5 days. The Chinese manufactures did an excellent job packaging the machine. Everything was protected by thick foam. All the moving parts where nicely greased up and the frame was protected with a anti corrosion substance.
Assembling the CNC 6040 Router can be done within an hour. Just a couple of bolts and some plug and play cables and you’re done. The overall build quality of the machine is pretty good. The base and gantry are very heavy.
Getting the CNC 6040 Router to work and making the first projects in this video took me a good 10 hours of study. I have a lot experience whit 3D printing and CAD designing so that gave me a big advantage. Understanding the Mach3 software, the different coordinate systems and generating g code from a CAD file can be a steep learning curve for someone without any technical experience.
After working with the CNC 6040 Router for a couple hours I can say I am happy with my investment. The only thing I don’t like is the aluminium extruded bed. This bed is not flat at all, so that has to be upgraded in the future.

The M Series may be the smallest moving gantry CNC router in the C.R. Onsrud line-up, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s any less of a workhorse than bigger machines in our product line. C.R. Onsrud incorporates the same detailed engineering, workmanship, and quality of materials into every machine we manufacture – no matter how small or large. The M Series, 3 axis or 4 axis CNC router boasts a rigid frame construction, highly responsive drive mechanisms, and many more of the top-end features you’d expect to find on our bigger models, with quality service and support behind it. Our competitors may say we’ve over-engineered this model, but we just happen to think they’ve under-engineered theirs. We want you to have a CNC Machine to grow your business with, not just get by for now. With the American Made, M-Series, we give you the power, precision, speed, and strength to do big things with this robust CNC platform, without any fears your machine gives out before you do. CR Onsrud Manufacturers all cnc routers and cnc machining centers in Troutman North Carolina.

For the last installment of our CNC Machine video series, the plan is to make a CNC milling machine. However, the results aren’t as impressive as I had hoped. Even though it’s not what I expected, the experience of making it is definitely worth a look.
