[@Hellsong89]

Sure it would be useful, but i rather see him getting stronger rail system for that spindle head. You can see maybe mil or half a millimeter deflection on the head compared to work peace, so there is still lots of flex in the frame and i'm suspecting its on the head rails due so much leverage tool has with such long spindle head. Great drill press that can do some machining, but at the moment, proper milling machine it aint. I managed to get similar accuracy with cheap drill press and crossfeed table on aluminum and soon i'l try same with old proper drill press and same china crossfeed table on steel. I'm not saying this build is trash, just needs further development and is based on machinist tolerances as comparison. For average Joe this does fine for little home milling, but results wont be comparable to proper machinist finish or tolerances.

[@patricksmith4424]

You just have to watch in awe as these guys work, they are so professional. When I make things and I mean really simple things, I seem to spend all my time trying to rectify cockups! The other thing about making homemade machines is that in the UK anyway the raw materials are really expensive. I worked out that a cheap chinese drill, just to by the equivalent weight in steel would be more expensive than a whole new drill. This is unbelievably when you think of the manufacturing and other materials used, ie copper for the motor.

[@comeradecoyote]

It’s not actually too difficult to tram it in and get it to have repeatable accuracy, especially if you build in some adjustability. The real problem is once you start to get wear. In a machine built by a foundry, they don’t tend to use linear bearings or ways because you want to distribute that load over a wide area so everything wears relatively evenly. You also want to resist the tendency for the bed to want to lift up or push out with a heavy depth of cut. So machines built traditionally, have a dovetail shaped way, with a tapered gibb; the gibb being removable so it can be remade to account for wear over time, so the machine can be brought back into tolerance. You also send to see machines gravitate towards solid castings for a reason: to dampen vibrations, as well as making an overall rigid frame to resist the forces on it when machining. Repeated stress on plates after all, can work harden and crack, or a large enough force can cause a deformation on a built up system. So overall his machine will definitely work; but as it’s used, it will wear and go out of tolerance. To keep it in tolerance he’ll have to entirely replace the lede screw and linear bearings, and the taper bearing in the head ever so often to keep it in spec, and I suspect it will wear more quickly because those assemblies put a lot of load on a small area.

[@dutchr4zor]

@@comeradecoyote The biggest industrial mills use linear ways (e.g. Hermle C40) so if the ways wear out they're just too small.

[@comeradecoyote]

@@dutchr4zor They use, much, much bigger, and different linears ways designed for that spec. They also are protected by a skirt or dust protector to keep debris out that will cause wear. And they also have massive castings to keep those linear ways straight and parallel, which also can cause wear. But those machines are, at least nowadays, mostly CNC, and are not expected to be reconditioned every few years, or overhauled and rebuilt. The extraordinarily expensive current generation of machine tools, are much more disposable than their past counterparts.

[@jackskalski3699]

​@@comeradecoyote I agree but now he can use this machine while it's still within tolerance to create the dovetails and replace linear bearings! So the machine continues to build itself and increase rigidity. For dampening people recommend special epoxy resin mixes but to keep costs low perhaps sand would do for the short term? Also it's not a factory setting where the machine works constantly on 2 shifts. Probably at most several hours per week ... One question, why is the Gibb tapered not straight?

[@comeradecoyote]

@@jackskalski3699 The thing about precision, is you need precise tools to make precise tools. The more runout you have the less repeatability you get. This affects everything from surface finish to being able to tolerance parts for friction fitting and interference assemblies. Also dovetails aren't something that can be added in after the fact. Their strength usually comes from being integral to the assembly, and having resistance to the shear force acting upwards, or to the pressure of applying the tool to the workpiece. If he wanted to make a dovetail machine, he'd need to remake entire assemblies from scratch. As for the reason for the taper, is pretty simple. As parts wear, they become loose. A wedge can be tightened regardless of wear, because its hording power is accomplished via friction. A wedge or taper gives greater surface area for that friction; and also is wear compensating, as it can be wedged tighter to compensate for slop introduced by wear.

great job, nice piece of machinery. one suggestion, put a door latch slot ( the hole with slot that door chains have) on the collet adaptor, then it would make removal easy, even for changing tools in the collet, you can have a "tool assembly" station on the side(where all those extra holes are), making the storage/ changing of tools easy.

[@bobvines00]

Just to help you with your mill, I recommend that you modify the way you use your strap clamps to hold parts to the table. The step blocks should be used so that the strap clamp is either even or the strap-clamp-end is just higher than where the clamp touches the part. Also, the bolts/studs you use to hold the strap clamp down should be close to the part, not to the step-block-end or other material you place under the end of the clamp -- this gives better leverage to provide a superior clamping action. Now that I've just discovered this channel, I'll have to go back and watch some older videos!

[@mihailfelixdumitresc]

@@ruslanmerdeev1742 It's not my project; I am a viewer, like yourself. I know you meant well, no problem there. About accuracy: when you weld steel and have no stress relief, anything bellow 1 mm out-of-plane accuracy is well received. Over short distances (under 200 mm) one can expect even better than 0,5 mm, should great care be exercised. Actually when he face-milled the work, the finish surface showed some out-of-plane deviations, but not massive deviations. So, the problem is what to compare deviations to (what standard) : zero ? 0,025 mm / 300 m tolerance ? DIN 874/00 ? I believe the guy in the video did his best as per his available resources, therefore his project came out great. I am a machinist, I do scraping and I am mostly used to tolerances in the region of 0,015 mm /1000 mm; but I appreciate whatever precision as long as it has been done to full extent of the resources available .

[@court2379]

I don't know your reasons for building it yourself but great job. I would like to see how much vibration, and chatter you get taking a full width cut in steel at 3mm depth with an aggressive feed rate though. I am curious how rigid those rails really are. Also how square it really ended up. Was there shimming of the rails after the welding to deal with shrinking and stress? When you cut a key with an endmill, you have to do the full depth in one pass without stopping and pull the bit out vertically. Otherwise you end up with an over sized slot and the driven object can spin just a little with changes in direction or sudden speed changes. That will cause the key, the shaft, or sheave to fail over time due to impact loading or just wear. If it is something the always turns the same direction it may not matter though. The reason for being over sized is the tool deflects due to the cutting forces on the side engaging the work. When you stop or change directions, the cutting forces are no longer there and the endmill flexes back to it's natural position digging into the wall of the slot. Then when you back it out it cuts down the side it was pushing away from making your slot oversized.
