Making Cross Table

I plan to build a milling machine before I have all the parts to build, I decided to build a cross table. I built a table with bearings and linear shafts so the whole thing works very lightly. Such a table does not have to be used only for a milling machine, but can also use a table drill, making drilling several holes much easier and more precise.

[@daklakdigital3691]

It's a treat to watch an experienced guy welding and manufacturing useful things. I live in VietNam where we have many self-taught craftsmen who are equally fascinating to watch performing magic with raw stock materials. When I want something from KZbin made, I take a sketch with dimensions then show them the video and they are away.

[@dmitribovski1292]

Yes he is clearly self-taught.

[@tobiasripper4124]

welp.. it might not have great tolerances but it certainly better than the one i *don't* have. congratulations!

[@kodlcan]

Indeed 😅👍

[@johnykarthi7039]

Tolerance based on application.

[@kennethpickens1228]

Agreed

[@nilegod1]

Even if it's not the best, you can use that to mill a replacement with better tolerance. So not the best but you can make it better each time till is basicly pro grade

[@kareem8533]

I like the way he has speeded up this video. And no talking, just doing. Watching Abom79 is like watching the paint dry.

[@mj-x]

Yeh, but watching people like Abom, ToT, Fabrication guy, you get to know what to do, and what not to, what is right and wrong. They are like free teachers. And than you go to this channel and see easy way of what to build for yourself, while taking the knowledge from the other channes and than ur pro :P

"accuracy" from a manually polished part? Nice hobby toy but now way this is an accurate part to do anything remotely accurate, unless you rectify all surfaces on a proper machine

I don't care how much a table like that costs in comparison with one directly from the manufacturer; that build was a lot of fun.

[@Raul28153]

Did you do any investigation into the load capacity of those particular linear bearings ??? I can tell you for sure that a drill chuck is not made for the kind of lateral loading you have there. Maybe instead of burying the end mill if you nibbled with the spindle. You know 0.005" or 0.010" increments of linear motion then run the spindle down.

[@pacman10182]

some drill presses use a threaded arbor, which would be fine for this (but the end mill in a Jacobs chuck is't the best move)

[@Bs_pysich]

Same question came to my mind.. How rigid the round bars can be under load of lateral movement.

[@alexanderwoolley1623]

@@Bs_pysich not very, this is just another one of those KZbin 'expert' budget build videos. As for OP's comment I think this channel already realised the tolerances suck after he goes to drill the first few holes you can see the entire vice flex, if he went to take a ten thou even twenty thou off the part would have just deflected of the end mill and given a horrible surface finish, or you would hear a tonne of chatter
