Went on a tour of Ingersoll in Rockford Illinois once. To stress relieve the large weldments for some machines they had ovens up to 60 feet long and 12 feet in diameter. Definitely see the need her for stress relieving.
Hi! gorgeous welds. Just a thought regarding the hollow tube fill, you will get a greater mean density and improved damping properties if you vary the particle size. e.g. sand and small gravel. Easily reversible too. Epoxy granite is the classic solution here, but that can be an expensive business with all of the resins and experimentation - you also need to make sure your media is very dry. There are also some low-shrinkage cement mixes and additives which would likely work well too, but would likely benefit from mesh or bars welded into the tubes.
@@GBWM_CNC There is a series of videos on TH-cam about a prof of mechanical engineering iirc. He has an Air Bearing lathe with the bed made from granite parallels epoxied together.
no stress relief? as someone who makes a living from calibrating precision machine tool i suggest.. as you introduce so much stress in those steel. surely, they will keep moving like crazy even after years.. try annealing if you can. or at least use vibration to at least help the stress relief faster. and you can test its resonance frequency cheaply by hitting and analyze the sound using spectrum analyzer. you can do it using android or your pc using microphone. you'll see how the frequency respons will move after hours of vibrating the structure. watch it until it's kinda give you a steady respons.. and filling with something to dampen vibration is the last thing to do.. just milling the linear rail surface will not going to give you accurate machine to a well-known standard, precision hand scraping, grinding or lapping is the way to go to get a measurable precision machine.. If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it.
This is why is hard to make a welded structure , if u dont have tools to make it , all can weld , but not all have the tools to make stress relief , and make a good structure for a good cnc .

@@matthiashilber2043 any heat that will reach its annealing temperature will help, starting at about 260degC.. better than not doing anything at all. the aim is to reach the annealing temperature uniformly, hold it for a while. and cooling down to room temperature very slowly.. you'll need a very good heat insulation. for days if possible. annealing only at slightly higher than 260degC with proper technique really help tremendously. but in a precision machine production, they tend to age the structure like for months or even years. they really let it rust outdoor. but then, actually its not that hard. for mild steel this thick and size a simple hitting with hammer is proven to speed up relief some of the stress, and it does help a lot.. you just don't want your structure suddenly bowing in unpredicted manner. its like a ticking time bomb, and start ticking as you weld. when this machine finished and start to introduce vibration like from rotation of the spindle or the tool without proper stress relief it will definitely release some of the stress and will start to change its geometry. if its me. I'll do whatever i can and keep measuring its critical dimension for days and after each try. and keep trying until its stable to a degree that is acceptable. you'll never know until you really try yourself. i wish you good luck trying.
if you are going to fill it up with just sand or gravel use both to increase the density, if instead, you want to fill with epoxy granite use just sand because using a mixture of sand and gravel doesn't let the epoxy fill all the gaps resulting in a lot of air inside the cast and consequently a less dense block
When I watch such DIY machine makings, I always ask myself, as everyone knows about the problems related with stress after welding, why don't people just make it with a bolt and nut connection machine at every place and no welding at all? What will be the pros and cons of this?
I decided to try vibrational stress relief. I will make myself a vibrating device and some small acceleration sensing aperture. I will give it a try and we will see how it performed. Heat treat would be good though

Could you maybe elaborate on the weld sequencing? How do you choose which weld to perform next based on the deflection of the previous weld sequence? Thanks for showing this impressive project!
Sure. Well actually the weld usually pulls the welded piece in the direction of the weld just when the material starts to shrink. I'm not a professional in my opinion, but from my experience sometimes when I see the angle get's in one direction - welding on the opposite corner helps to straighten it up. Also when welding such a frame it helps to weld some welds from one side of the frame and then turn it around and weld the other side so all the stress is kind of canceled during the process. That takes a lot of experience to do it properly (i'm lacking still experience) but it is possible to somehow control the stress in the material. It's also crucial to prevent weld breakage later. Some welders also do preheat the material before welding, so there is less heat input stress involved during the welding (the stress is caused by temperature differences in different zones of the material - the material shrinks in different time which causes stress and therefore deflection). This is what I observed during some of my work - hopefully I'm not writing any stupid things here - haha! :) Maybe I'll make a video someday showing some examples what happens when material is welded and the deflection occours.
@@GBWM_CNC This makes sense. Thanks for the explanation! Rewatching the video, I seem to understand what you did.

impressive work.. though I would look into angular cutters (hss or carbide tipped) for any holes larger than 12mm. I wonder how ure going to heat stress relieve this (if any)? I'm also curious how ure going to mill the important surfaces without a big machine (if that's the path) as it will involve some sort of optical flat provisioning method that I haven't seen much in the DIY scene yet?
thanks! I'm using the drills I have if I can do what I need with them :) About the stress relief - I'm still thinking how to deal with that before milling. Maybe some kind of heating + some hammering. About the milling - I have a possibility to take it to a big milling machine which I'll probably do. I thought initially about milling using 5-6 setups with my metal milling machine but it would be really difficult to set it up each time withing like 0,01mm each time - I was going to try my best but reading all comments over here - people convinced me to not to do it, haha! :)
@@GBWM_CNC afaik the whole part needs to be soaked at ~600 degC for a couple hours and then cooled slowly back to room-temp, ideally in a non-oxygen atmosphere for stress relieving. A one time "kiln" from some cheap brick might do the trick? Without this the subsequent precision milling (or scraping) will be for naught as material removal will lead to the part deforming under it's own stresses.. so yeah. Keep up the good work!

Excellent welder, you are... machinist?.... You're on your way. Your lack of spot drills is disturbing though LOL When drilling large diameter holes or any holes you need to be precisely located, use a spot drill 1st. Make a little dimple .5mm deep. Doesn't need to be super deep. Put in the drill bit you want to use. The dimple from the spot drill will direct the drill bit into the material so there is a straight and precisely located hole. Plus if you're using a long shank drill, the bit doesn't walk around on the surface of the material. I've seen people use concrete for filling in the frame. Add weight. Reduces vibration. Strong work, sir!
Usually I'm spot drilling but the stiff milling machine spindle made me too much confident and I've gone with direct aiming for the right size, haha! :) I'll try to improve next time! :)
Manufactures would love to produce fabricated steel lathe beds but they dont because it doesn't work, so much stress in it from the welds means you can never get it to keep a zero.
