Ah! It’s all starting to make sense. Never quite understood the concept of “pinching” the stack. Nice clean build. I’m looking forward to part 3.

Great! yes a very simple design with the least amount of modifications to the mill.

Thank you for these videos, going to be super helpful when I eventually build a similar system for my proLight 2000 mill!

[@CNC4XR7]

Thanks for watching. I glad the information will be helpful.

Great as always Sam, you inspired me to start converting my Lathe into CNC

[@CNC4XR7]

Thank you!

Working my way through the build as I need ideas to do the same, one thing have have noticed is the CNC lathe is far slower than a manual lathe for 1 off parts, I will keep that in mind when I start the lathe conversion after finishing the mill.

Well Yes most of the time but it's nice to have power feed with manual work on the CNC lathe

Great job Sam, lathe did well with the stainless. Nice color on the chips. I have found that taking it easy on the stainless seems to keep the work hardening down.

[@CNC4XR7]

Yeah it was all a learning curve but I was very happy with the results.

Informative setup of x axis sweet! What was your feed and speeds of your CSS?

[@CNC4XR7]

Spindle speed was 450 and the feed was .01 IPR , at .005 doc if i'm not mistaken very cautious and light
