Brilliant!! I had no idea that it took over a year to build this beautiful machine. I have to say your machine is better than nearly any commercial "budget friendly" machines. I need a mill but I am going to have to cut corners because I need to use one now so I am going to se if I can do it in steps so I can use it as I build it. I will try and video it as I build it. Thank you for all the great ideas my friend.
Thanks! I mean i could have done this project faster but in the middle of the project i moved closer to my job. Since my workshop now is located further away from my home i only can get some stuff done on the weekends. That's also the reason why new videos are taking so long. I really want to see your version of a diy mill!
Hi bud! Just finished watching your entire build series of this mill. GREAT MACHINE you’ve built! I’m jealous…. Of the machine, AND that you had the TIME to build and film/edit video of it all! GOOD FOR YOU!
Thank you Metalman! You are right. Time is a very big factor. Getting the mill finished took me over a year. But i do have more to come. Editing will take some time tho. Anyway, i am glad you like my content!

Great build! I enjoyed watching how you designed and built it. You mentioned in your previous video you got the compound table from Amazon. Please can you advise what size the table is? Thanks
Thank you! As stated by the seller on Amazon the table itself has a meassurement of 475 x150mm. The travel distances are about 330 in X and 180 in Y. Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot. Of corse there will be new upgrades im the future. Great! I would love to see your results. If you can get a thicker walled square tube for the collumn and add some reinforcements to the inside. (Mine is 100x100mm with a thickness of 5mm i used that because i got a good deal on it). I want to reinforce mine as well and fill it up with a epoxy concrete mixture to get rid of some vibrations. But this upgrade will be done in spring next year as it is already to cold in my shop for the epoxy.
You should try inserts made for aluminium . They have sharper edges.The made for steel inserts have a rounded edge wich takes a lot more power to push trough the material inducing vibrations. The better result with your shell mill with sharper edges is the proof.
@@jw200 I would say that heavy mills fare better because they have more power. and are less prone to vibrations. Try to cut anything with a dull knife. It takes more effort. The sharper edges of inserts made for aluminium are also more fragile. They won't last long on heavy cuts or interuped cuts.
It's called oilamid (probably a trademark). This is a wear resistand plastic specifically for applications were sliding is necessary. I only used it here because i had some cutoffs on my stock shelf.

Very nice. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thank you!
Your forum is great.
I am looking through it occasionally.

@@wastelandworkshop3839 Great. Just shoot me an email at "jon" at our url, or add one to your About page on YT, and I'll set it up.
I just added my mail address to my channel description.

Liked and subscribed.
Keep making videos and updating mill. Also try aluminum inserts
I will build it.
Thanks a lot.

Looks great

you are way too cool, fantastic project!

You are right.
It's definitely worth a try.
Thanks for the comment!
So rounded edge inserts are meant for big heavy mill ?

Excelente
Thank you very much!
What material (the yellow stuff) did you use for vibration dampening please?
It's called oilamid (probably a trademark).
This is a wear resistand plastic specifically for applications were sliding is necessary.
I only used it here because i had some cutoffs on my stock shelf.
The appearance looks better, and it should be more stable.
Thanks.
I am currently designing a gearbox for the mill. This should also help to make the mill look nicer.
Also changing speeds will be a lot faster.
