Building a vertical mill from industrial scrap

3 роки тому

Here I’m adding vertical milling capability to my home-built lathe, again using mostly stuff from the local industrial scrap yard. A rather non conventional design, but for its compact size I think still a nice result. It's powered by a 500W DC motor, with home-build speed controller.The Mill chuck is in line with the lathe chuck centerline and able to move vertically and horizontally for milling slots. Thanks to the many UKposts videos on machining, I was able to quickly get familiar with some milling techniques.
You can find the design files like 3D CAD drawings, electrical schematics and microcontroller firmware files on my website page: www.simprojects.nl/lathe_and_m...

Absolute genius. As an apprentice machinist I wouldnt even know where to start when building a mill/lathe!

@Vohtwomax 3 роки тому

As a journeyman machinist, I ALSO would no clue where to start building something like this. I’d like to buy one tho!

This was hella impressive. I think my jaw dropped a bit at 10:30 when you switched from showing off your mechanical design skills, into PCB design. And all summed up in a 25 minute video. My man!

I absolutely just felt the same way when I was taking mental notes. I need more time to be able to do all of this. I need it all done like last week.

If more people were as creative and constructive as this, the world would be a better place. Nowadays, some people - grown adults - seem to be unable to tie their own shoes. Not so for Roland :) Really impressive work!

Same here. Normally it would require to reduce the speed trough gears to achieve more torque.

Came for the industrial scrap.... love the synth music. I'm a little sceptical about the chuck but I LOVE your vice design and your PCB method. Marvelous work... I wish I had half your skills.... yes, and your scrap yard.

@nrt8305 Місяць тому

Феноменальная точность! При том, что фрезерный механизм ходит по алюминиевым профилям. А он в свою очередь весит киллограм за 30-40. Сейчас сам пытаюсь изготовить токарный станок и скажу что это крайне сложный проект. Один и тот же узел собирать-разбирать, перетаскивать, переставлять, отрезать, сверлить и т.п. Одну резцедержку делал около недели с утра до вечера

@Mtaalas 3 роки тому

Morris chuck is not suitable for lateral forces, it's meant only for drilling. You should use collet chuck

Awesome build! You have an impressive understanding of machining, electronics and programming along with a jaw dropping level of creativity. If you ever desire to increase the rigidity of your machines, I would look at using epoxy granite. It's far more rigid than traditional cast iron and much easier to work with.
