I was just thinking about how I'd want a terminal with a matching custom external optical drive bay that I could put Windows XP on and use as a retro gaming pc.

how much would it be to make me one ahaha

Well done

I really enjoyed the series, what an achievement to be proud of for sure. It is now 2 years after your build and I came across the series as I am converting a set of 70 year old horizontal mill castings into a small vertical milling machine. the castings are certainly a wonderfull place to start with but somewhat limiting in many ways. However your build has given me a rekindled interest in my project. Thank you very much

so well.made lad!

Can you please add a file for the 3d printed parts? I am in the process of making a fallout terminal.

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice work

I 'm just about building my own milling machine. I'm lucky to got my hands an old "Heckert Kopierfräsmaschine". Hence the spindle and the whole spindle moving machanism is missing- I try to build a new spindle holding and positioning thingy and fit a 4kw china-spindle to it. I've learnt alot from your concept to mount the spindle. I hope to be able to copy that on my setup. I think this is a very versatile machine for all thinkable jobs in a small workshop. 👍

How does this only have 3k views this is a masterpiece. Great job my friend!

For faster removal rate, smoother finish, lower impact on the part and spindle bearings, less rattle & chatter plus improved safety use these tips. Set the cutter just wider than the part, this allows the tool to smoothly engage at a tangent by gradually increasing the tip engagement. This gives much less impact & is far quieter. Having this minimum cutting radius allows for faster spindle speed & ultimately faster metal removal rate. The protruding toolbit becomes invisible when running so is much safer when close to the cutter body. If the tool is cut shorter then there wont be the other end spinning outside the cutter body. Can you please explain why the tool is tilted at an angle, if it was flat to the bed the insert edge would still be the lowest point. I think cutting the tool on an angle is a leftover idea for when there were flat HSS toolbits. With the insert protruding beyond the toolholder body on insert tools you are using, is this angle required?

Great build! I enjoyed watching how you designed and built it. You mentioned in your previous video you got the compound table from Amazon. Please can you advise what size the table is? Thanks

Really enjoyed your build, amazing craftsmanship ! how do you lock the vertical height of the column after you raise or lower it with the ball screw? thanks for posting.

And here I was thinking I was the only one who wanted to make an in universe terminal. Well I guess that was foolish fallout fans all think the same so of course others would make it it looks spectacular by the way great job.

I love this ❤ Wish there was more customization to it like personal entries and emails

Nicely done. I have a similar setup for X and Y, but still exploring knee options for the Z axis. I'm interested to hear details about your solution.

Nice build. Did you figure out your total investment to see if it was worth it compared to a commercial mill?

Excelente

What is your background? Are you an engineer? I'm currently dallying around in metal work. I have bought a small mill, but really overestimated its capacity, so now i'm making a a mill like yours. Would be cool to have a quill in the head though. Anyway. Love the projects.

What size linear rail on the Z Axis??

Can i buy one

How did you make it

Very well done! I can appreciate how you kept it aesthetically simple, not adding tons of complexity or things that are not "in 'verse". I especially like that you did a lot of it in sheet metal which I'd imagine adds more to the "feel" of it as being authentic. The only thing I could think of would be adding some small orange lighting in the cabinet to spill out the back when it's on (think old fashioned tube radio - Kurzwelle Radio). Awesome job!

Needs a mechanical keyboard tho...

The last part where you're eating a sandwich is hilarious! 😂 Is it some sort of German avante garde?

Red lieber deutsch. Trotzdem gutes Video!😉

The appearance looks better, and it should be more stable.

What is that U piece that you used to mount the rails on. How long are the rails that you mounted on the U section? Thank you .

So Kool. I love this case. Just wondering, would an old style keyboard work with this laptop? It would probably take a person a little bit to notice the one piece keyboard doesn't "compute"'. It feels awkward to use the old style keyboards now , but if your build had one , it would be hard to tell this wasn't from back in the day. This reminds me of when I started in machine shop. We had those old NC machines way before CNC. They were really before my time , but shops were still using them , because they would put parts out consistently once a punch tape was made.

This thing looks beautiful every step of the way my friend.

Can you share 3d models?

like the height ajustment , thinking on building a smallish surface grinder and might use the idea for that

Can I place an order for this???

If someone were willing to order one from you, would you be able to provide?

Brilliant!! I had no idea that it took over a year to build this beautiful machine. I have to say your machine is better than nearly any commercial "budget friendly" machines. I need a mill but I am going to have to cut corners because I need to use one now so I am going to se if I can do it in steps so I can use it as I build it. I will try and video it as I build it. Thank you for all the great ideas my friend.

This is one of the most incredible builds I have had the pleasure of watching and inspiration. I will be maki ng one of these. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

If I were to place an order for one of these babies, how much would it be? OuO

Hi bud! Just finished watching your entire build series of this mill. GREAT MACHINE you’ve built! I’m jealous…. Of the machine, AND that you had the TIME to build and film/edit video of it all! GOOD FOR YOU!

I'd love to ruin an old vacuum tube monitor for a project like this. build the entire thing around that, and then hook it up to a RISC-V processor. Then run a Robco inspired Linux on it.

What material (the yellow stuff) did you use for vibration dampening please?

I want 1

12:35 What ratio gears here?

Would you share the 3D models for printing ?

11:44 What bearings you used ? Each bearing has a number. Also Do you have shaft measurements ? I see drawing but no measurements

Liked and subscribed. Keep making videos and updating mill. Also try aluminum inserts I will build it.

Looks great

Hi my friend where did you get the bearings shaft?

Okay, but how do you control the cursor?

Great project! You should make a 3d printed holodisk with a USB drive in it!

Very nice. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

You should try inserts made for aluminium . They have sharper edges.The made for steel inserts have a rounded edge wich takes a lot more power to push trough the material inducing vibrations. The better result with your shell mill with sharper edges is the proof.
