Just a coupe pic's of my mini mill,

Running on mach4 or mach3

cnc4pc C82 board

cnc4pc C52 board

cnc4pc optic homing switches

ESS smoothstepper

Forward and reverse relays, Flood coolant relay, Spindle Power on relay

rpm sensor

nema 23 X and Y, nema 34 Z

Thanks gary

Pic's to big to attach i think so heres dropbox links

I would like to register for the give away , my next project is to convert an Elliott surface grinder to run under Mach4 .

I am trying to build a CNC plasma. I keep working on it a little at a time. I started this build when I started grad school. Now that I'm finished with school I should be able to make more progress. I'm using Mach3 and the C10 - BI-Directional Parallel Port CNC Breakout Board , geckco 320x, nema 23 servo motors, but still messsing with...and would love the opportunity to clean my mess! Good Luck to everyone!

Me and my buddy bought a bridgeport that we would like to convert to CNC.  I'm looking for ball screws that are affordable and decently well priced.  If this doesn't work out I'm just going to build a small mill from scratch. 

Im currently in the process of converting a LMS 5500 that I got used off of craigslist. Ive gotten everything torn down, cleaned, and repainted. I used a 2 part epoxy paint the should hold up well to coolant. I decided to fill the holes in the casting that were not going to be used using JB weld metal putty then sanded which turned out very well. I have no desire to turn this back into a manaul mill by the way. Ive also redesigned the assembly that carrys the gear for the spindle. This will remove the quill functionality making it rigid so i dont have to be concerned about the spindle pushing down when using pnumatic drawbar. I have motor and ballscrew mounts designed as well, im just waiting for things so slow down at work so I can thrown them in an open machine. For the spindle motor Im using a DMM dyn4 that will have a 2 to 1 belt ratio which will give me around 6000 rpm without losing too much torque on the high end. I havent purchased axis motors yet but im looking to stepper servos/ hybrid steppers as they are cost effective and fairly accurate. Unfortunately things have been moving a little slower up to this point but im hopeful that Ill have a running machine sometime this summer.

Hi,  my name is Bruce Wurst. I have been working on a CBC mill built from scratch for a little over a year now. I am making YouTube videos about it. I have 1 downloaded here and about another 60 hours on the computer that needs to be edited. 
     My mill will be 42" for the x,  32" for the y, and 40" for the z axis. I am using the linear bearings on all axis with precision ball screws. 
     The base is made out of a piece of 4" x 8" 1/2" wall tube which is 40" long. The the top center of it has been cut out to to leave 8" at the back where a 10" by 12" by 1-1/4"  plate will be welded to the tube foe the verticle column to attach to. 
the verticle colum is out of a 6" x 6" by 1/2" tube 48" long. That will be cut out on the front like the base and some 1/2" x 7" bar stock will b welded in on an angle to create a lot of rigidity in the column. The ball screw will go down the center to move the z axis. I will be using spring shocks to counter the weight of the head. I picked up a new r8 spindle and then found a cat 40 spindle so I will use the cat 40 now

the saddle and x axis is just as rigid as the rest. Using a 12" x 16" x 1-1/4 play steel. I will laminate 2 1-1/2" wide rails to ride the the linear rails on. They will b welded to the saddle plate with 1/2" x 4" bar stock to give me the x distance tha I need

     The whole set-up will run on nema 34 servo motors with hopefully the 2 boards you are giving away. I do have all the pieces I need except the motors and the electronics. I am learning a ton from this project as I go along. Myself,  I am a music teacher here in the Phoenix Az area so this is a real change from what I'm used to. I have made some CNc routers so I know what I need to complete this project. You can c the 1st part of my YouTube video under Bruce wurst. I should be posting more videos soon of the process I'm going through making this cnc mill. The video was my first one. They should get a lot better than that one but it is a start. I have tons of plans to do on YouTube for videos

     I will eventually get around to adding a arc to it but the 1st part is the mill so I can make the parts for the atc.

Hello! At this point I am gathering a list of parts for a CNC table. A controller like is would be a lot of help.

It appears there is a problem in the forum and many are having issues uploading images and videos.  While we fix this, there are two workarounds:

1. You can edit your post and add the images using the old method described here: https://www.cnc4pc.com/forum/questions/how-to-add-images-on-this-forum
2. Or you can email me the pics at [email protected] and I will upload them for you. 

I am sorry for the inconvenience. 

Currently working on my very first CNC table.
