Homemade CNC Router 2009


Cutting a few mold parts on my new CNC router. It’s a servo system with a 3:1 belt reduction. Encoders are mounted on the ball screw. This gives the machine better accuracy and safety if a belt breaks an error handling circuit shuts the machine down. The machine has a 4′ X 4′ X 5″ work area. I’ve been laid off for four months so I finally had the time to get it finished.

Homemade CNC Mill Upgrade Part 8 – Cutting spacer Part 1 – Neo7cnc.com


This is the 1st try at cutting this simple spacer I need for work. 1.02 inch IO and 3 inch OD. In this video I’m using a standard 2 flute 1/4 inch carbide endmill running at 20ipm with .13 DOC. Very loud to say the least. Check out the next video to see the better solution.

Solsylva home-made CNC router build, test run pocketing


This is a test run of my Solsylva CNC router build. Just floating the router over the table for now. I ran the rectangle pocketing wizard on Mach3, and set the feedrate at 150ipm. I then bumped it up all the way to 240ipm with no noticeable missed steps or stalling. I did this mainly as a stress test. There is some rattling; I have to tighten the bolts for Y gantry rail, as well as adjust the bearings. Components: Xylotex controller and 425in-oz steppers, Kerk precision leadscres, 1/2″-8, 8 start (1TPI effective), Mach3 software.
