Amazing build! You might really want to move spindle clamp higher, because a lot of spindle manufacturers prohibit clamping spindle at the very bottom, because when you clamp there, you squeeze the spindle load bearings, considerably shortening their life (of course, it depends on how tightly you clamp it, but still).
I love to watch your mill project grow ive converted a small mill to CNC and will build a complete diy one day and then your vids will be very helpful too .As a hobby machinist you depend on such projects to get the courage trying it yourself.Last year I build my own tool and cutter Grinder after vids from you tube and he works very well until today far enough for what I need .🤠🤠🤠
Holaaa. Cordial saludo. Excelente vídeo muchas gracias por compartirlo. Una consulta ¿cómo calculas el peso del contrabalance del eje Z? Te agradezco tu respuesta ya que estoy muy interesado en aplicar este mismo sistema. Gracias.
Congrats, that's an impressive undertaking for sure! I will be following with great interest to see it in use. I do have one suggestion. It appears in the video that when the Y axis is all the way back against the column, the spindle only reaches approximately half way across the table. Seems like spacer between the spindle bridge & the spindle mount would buy you a significant increase in actual machining capacity.
You are right sir, there is a spacer between spindle mont and Z bridge which I did not put in. Once that in I will gain about 2” of work space. Thank you.
Nice video! I was wondering what made you choose steppers over servo's, since you`re putting all this effort in to build a nice ridgid machine with 0 backlash why not go for some servo's aswell? Also i really like your design so far, I have a smaller less ridgid converted cnc myself but I am left thinking why you attached your counterbalance not as close to the Z rails as possible? To me it would seem that you'd be creating a little reaction moment in you Z motor mount! The only reason I could come up with is that you estimated the COG with you spindle and drawbar included. Appologies if I missed somthing, I'm bench watching your build at the moment haha
Thank you! Cost was main reason for stepper motors vs servo. Initially I was not sure how good of machine this will turn out so I didn't want spent too much . As for counterbalance there has been no problem so far.
Hello friend, could you give me the specifications of your machine such as distance between axes, torque of the motors, the precision of the ball screws and the forward speeds it reaches. all the details you can please. and an estimated cost that you used on materials and motors and everything

When you manliness is unable to be contained, things like this happen. Very nice build :)
You are not only great designer but also great teacher iam going to build one for my factory thank you sir
Sweet. I will go back and check out your previous videos.
you know a build is serious when the counterbalance at the back needs its own linear rail (-' . seriously badass

Thank you
awesome but where do you find those big square metal tube ??
was that lead that u melted down to fill the part?
can this spindle be used for steel? Congratulations for your project. You are doing a great job
Yes. I just tested on steel and works great. I will post video soon
I have a question: Is that conter balance working like a break??
Step one. Own a lathe lol.
Fantastic job tho fantastic video
Hello, its really good design, i like it.
nice build! where did you buy the spindle from? do you have a link?
Thank you. It is from eBay

it's so pretty and
motivational, thank you!
Man this is a great built!, How do you find its precision so far?, I like the counter weight design, congratulations man!!!
This is amazing. Have you considered selling the design files for this system? I would be very interested.

@@advanceair Thanks! Yeah I understand haha, servos ain't cheap!

nice build . what is the spindle brand / model ?

Did you order the spindle from Vietnam?
Yes I believe EBay seller was from Vietnam.
Hey Vince, did you have a choice between a 2 or a 4 pole spindle? From the 400hz rating, it looks like that may be a 2 pole?
I believe its 4 pole not sure 100%
how do you check parallelism of all axis sir?
Very good job , you have made exactly witch should be done in futire if its possible buoled 4th axis that will be the best . Goodcluck
Very nice I liked it
Very good, champion. 👏👍
Where did you buy that spindle? Does it have the Drawbar built in?
Please see links on full build video
Congratulations. Very, very Nice machine. Project very simply and very good assembly.
Thank you.
Step 1 of your cnc build: already have a milling machine xD
Hello, I rebuilding the similar project. Where you bought the ball screws? What is the ball screw brand?
Thank you
It’s from EBay. No brand name
vreyy nice
very good video..thnaks for your time
Congrats, very cool Build. i'm a bit jealous :) *thumbup*
Thank you.
why stepper motors?
Nice work
What VFD did you use for your spindle?
VFD brand is BEST.
hey vince a beauty of a cnc ! :D what stepper driver do you use?
All part info in in description. Thx
@@advanceair thx For your repply are there no stepper driver?
@@TiMechOfficial please see this video th-cam.com/video/i4q95Czq7pc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=VinceBuild
how much that proyect?
Hi sir can share diagram wiring ? Tq sir 👍🏻
cost?
Great job :)
What was the total cost of the build?
$4500
great bro, ( i think it's better the UCCNC control wt they software)
Thx, I will check out that program
i want one too :)
Super travail !
Possible design file
Stp file
Where did you buy that spindle? I am looking into building a similair machine, but i can only find hsk and is20 spindle's. I prefer bt30
Please see description on full build video. I have eBay link there hope still active
