to help with taping - especially when you already have the piece in the mill you can use a live center or similar to support the tap from the top ;)

Just bought a "steel frame" 6040 from China cnc zone. First plan I have for it is a solid bed I was thinking about 25mm 6061 plate since the plate is only about 170usd. Glad to see I'm not alone in thinking 25mm of aluminum would be plenty rigid.

The y up stands which support the gantry now look too small. I guess they are still the standard ones. They would be nice if they were replaced with 25mm thick plate. Thanks for the video. It was excellent

beast of a machine!

Very nice. Should be fantastic. Great job!

[@akka4751]

your mini mill is cool! when you'll convert it into cnc abandoning the 6040 ???

Normally roughing mill bits are one and two flute. How does this compare to a standard roughing bit?

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

very good video..thanks for your time

[@Jonas_Aa]

I looking at the bellows on the X axis (on the gantry). Are type U or are they more than U type? Wondering why they do not fall out from the gantry. What is holding them there?

Hey nice video, which spindle is this

[@justinlareau2227]

Instead of using a long drill bit to mark your drill centers and spinning it, buy a set of transfer punches. It will save you alot of time and keep your drill bits sharp. A set is about $15 us dollars on Amazon.

Better to not blow ALU shavings on open power extender - especially when it`s turned on (27:45) . That`s from own experience ...

[@glennedward2201]

You do realize it takes as much time to mill through your drilled holes as not right? Predrill if for speed doesn’t work. Where it does work is to relieve corners and prevent inaccuracies when high speed machining. In those cases you’re usually using much smaller drill bits and only for corner pocket relief.
