CNC MILLING MACHINE - PART 5 - Z axis ( carriage and column , counter balance weight )

[@neffk]

This is good work. It's surprising to see you carrying around the parts. Traditional castings of that size would be impossibly heavy. Looking forward to the next installment.

@@neffk thank you for your comment , and talking about weight, in the next video I will normally fill them up with epoxy granit , so it will be very heavy

Y a pas à dire, la huron c'est vraiment la machine qu'il faut pour ce genre de projets. Beau boulot 👍

[@ThomasLe_G]

@@wechbros4558 merci, Oui en effet super machine , il y a quand même 50h d’usinage et encore je pense bcp plus

[@LightW]

Really cool project! Are you going to fill the columns with epoxy Granit?

[@ThomasLe_G]

@@LightW Hello, thank you ! Yeah I already thought about I fear that the epoxy dilatation deform the surfaces and make them not flat anymore , without talking about the weight gains that may be not supported with my frame …

[@qazzxc8813]

Epoxy doesnt deform. Even concreye cant do​@@ThomasLe_G

[@ThomasLe_G]

@@qazzxc8813okay so maybe I will, depends if a found low cost epoxy .

[@perw12345]

@@ThomasLe_G I'd consider filling it with concrete. It's cheap, good at damping, and it usually shrinks during the cure, rather than expands.

[@ThomasLe_G]

@@perw12345 okay thank you for your constructive advice I will think about it

[@qazzxc8813]

No heat treatment after welding ?
