Re: Do It Yourself Mill
I guess it is a good project in control circuitry but how in the world could you actually machine something useful with that thing?
On a similar topic, has anyone seen the little Roland tabletop CNC mills. The computer thinks of it as a printer. And the software they come with, you don't even have to write a computer program. You basically just import your model as an STL, press "go," go get lunch, and come back to a cool little part. They are fun little toys but they are so small, weak, and slow too that I can't justify the $3500 price. I was able to make a nice #25 sprocket with dog pockets in it though (out of PVC). It took about 4.5 hours! Anyway, very easy and fun to use, but not incredibly capable. Last edited by sanddrag : 04-11-2005 at 00:20. |

Re: Do It Yourself Mill
Once I get a Good job an a start in life I will be looking at buying myself a CNC mill, because unless your under a deadline it is ok for a part to take a while, if you trust yourself and your machine enough set it up before you go to work or bed. anyone know of any places for CNC mills that cost < $5000

it's an option if you have a dremel and don't want to spend alot. http://www.maxnc.com/page9.html this is almost like the one i have. They don't offer mine anymore. Basically it's what's in the link, but with much better stepper motors. I also recommend the 3d digitizer and A-axis table, very reliable. But thats pretty cool, but not very usefull. I don't see how that can be very accurate but hey, w/e works. |
