That is a beautiful fixed gantry machine. I love the beefy design. I was a machinist and CNC programmer for 15 years. Never used anything that small, but I'm thinking of building a CNC mill of my own. It will be a fixed gantry like yours.

Thanks! I'm working on a ATC bt30 spindle system for the machine which will hopefully mean it'll be a little more efficient with ferrous materials. (probably be my next video)
Would love to follow your build. Let us know if you do decide to make a thread or videos to document it.

Cool video. Lots of lessons learned by the looks of it. Will be good to see how you sort out your work holding.

You could try the powder coating tape and or masking tape and super glue work holding technique.
You apply the tape to each surface burnish it a bit so its very secure and then use super glue to hold the work down.
This is a link to NYCNC channel showing it done with maskign tape but the 2 Mil Polyester Tape with Silicone Adhesive works the best.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I checked out the videos and I will definitely try this out next time!
