I watched the Z axis build first and it was brilliant. Personally having worked in a machine shop for several years and still have a job working less than 3 decimal places I would have done some things a little different for accuracy but working with what you have it's a brilliant job. Love your router bench, off to watch part 3 and subscribe.

Very cool. I build a similar machine and also faced the problems of not having a CNC to build one. So my CNC uses waterjet cut plates that get screwed into the ends of aluminium profiles. Waterjets can easily cut 20mm aluminium. Laser cutters are cheaper, but can mostly only cut 6mm or so. I payed 200$ for all my plates.
Well equipped shop and stellar vid. I want one!!!!!

I don't know your builders background but you represent yourself well in this video. Considering your meticulous attention to detail and your, from the floor up build savvy, I would definitely be inclined to hear your unbiased review of other kits on the market. There are others who do reviews on pre-builds and kits but I have yet to see anyone do what you do from the ground up and with absolute precision at the forefront.

Hello, I just stumbled across your amazing build. Great job! I built one several years ago out of wood and i did everything ok but my stepper motors would only give me a max of 18 to 20 inches per minute. I'd like to build another one soon out of aluminum this time. If you wouldn't mind, how did you determine what size pulleys to put on your stepper motor and ball screw to get a resonable feed rate, and what is your max feed rate or rapid? Thanks, Carl
@bellevuesnekkeri

Thanks Carl. I started out (and it is shown in the video) with 3:1 or was it 4:1?, for most torque, but is resulted in a slow feedrate. After the video was built, I swapped them for 1:1 ratio. I can now rapid 6000mm/min, aprox 240"/min. I normally dont cut faster than 1800mm/m or 70"/min

Kill the 3018 and just go for the bigger bugger? I seek lots of pros and cons and it seems to me the biggest issue is you grow out of the smaller machines very quickly unless all you want to do is dog tags which I do not but I will do some hence I need a machine capable of both or I need 2 machines looking for a straight answer tx

@Bellevue Woodshop I never knew you could get away with "routing" aluminum like that - I see what you mean though, no reason it wouldn't work - may not be ideal, but for what you did, perfect. I was struck by how 'crude' you are with some tasks. I'm not criticizing you. It seemed funny that you just cut out your Al Y-axis plate with a jigsaw(?). Or how you used a knife to mark your Y-ballscrew nut, or pencil lead to mark out your holes. Your results are amazing! I think it makes sense, you know what stages need perfect precision, and what stages don't - in particular an oversized hole does not. Very very cool. Spending the effort where it is important, eh? (You make it look easy!) For your Aluminum chop saw - how square is the blade with the base?
