Really cool video. Loved the machining you showed, especially when you sped up the action.

Thanks for the comment - I'm planning to push the machine a lot harder soon, so maybe we'll be seeing the machine work just as quickly in real-time in a future video ;-)

Are you considering making a «kit» in the sense of selling the CAD files, drawings, electronics diagram and pre-purchased parts such as the rails and spindle for people to be able to built it themselves?

Awesome. Finally making chips!

Something I’ve thought about was to build a cnc mill that had two mills back to back sharing the same base and column. For example a 8ft base with quad hgr30mm rails going through with a 14” square column in the center, rails and head unit on each side and the column designed that it could be unlocked and slid to one end for very large single table and a vertical vice off the back end for large parts resting on the floor and clamped to keep level. For example to machine an axle housing. Thought of a few alternatives with this idea. Innovative and Very Nice work

An interesting idea. Thanks for sharing

What kind of percision do you get out of this? Trying to decide going diy or just buying an MR-1. The MR-1 is so cheap it hardly makes sense to even convert a benchtop mill.

Nice! Any measurements off the part? What kind of tolerances are you holding?
@SeabassEngineering3 жыл бұрын
25mm part with 25.03 measured with calipers.

.0012" That's great! That would sail through QC in most shops. I'm excited to see how hard you can push the speeds/feeds. Lets see some steel!
@SeabassEngineering3 жыл бұрын
Me too, this was just the first part I made to check the accuracy and to try it out. I'll be pushing the feeds and speeds in future videos and of course i'll be trying steel at some stage!

Your enclosure looks extremly accurate. What paint did you use for it? I've noticed that you used 2 types of paint.
@SeabassEngineering3 жыл бұрын
I've only used one type of paint, a metal primer and an enamel top coat. The 3030 extrusion comes pre coated/painted

Very cool, Who made the 10mm cutter? did you run it at 24k
@SeabassEngineering Жыл бұрын
The holder is made by Teknik and the inserts Korloy. I have also had good results with Mammut and Rennie carbide end mills. I usually run the 10mm cutters at approx 10k rpm.

What are the spindle specifications?
@SeabassEngineering3 жыл бұрын
It's a 3KW chinese spindle, water cooled with ER20 collet. I really wish I had an ISO or BT taper spindle, this would make tool changes so much easier!
@swapnilulagadde3 жыл бұрын
What is the RPM of spindle?, Can it cut Steel (Mild steel)?
@SeabassEngineering3 жыл бұрын
24000 rpm. I've been cutting aluminium with 10mm cutter at around 10,000 rpm, 1.5mm stepover and 10mm DoC. I believe it will cut steel with the right feeds and speeds no issue. I have seen less rigid and powerful machines than this cutting steel.

Will this 3kW spindle run OK from a standard 13A UK socket (obviously via the inverter). The specs say 10A which is a bit close so I was wondering if this was OK in real world use, thanks
