Bench top CNC mill update
Mike Makes It
I posted a video a few months ago about a new project I was starting. Well, this is a small update to let you know the project is still underway although it is moving a lot slower than expected. Today I received a couple of side plates for the mill. These will hold the gantry and move in the Y axis. I'm still waiting for another 6 plates to come in. When I have these I will at last be able to bolt something together that will look like a CNC machine, although it will be in the very early stages of completion. There are loads still to do and I will keep you posted here. Thanks again for your patience and of course for watching.
The listing below is from my previous video. Most of the parts and sites I've bought from are listed although over time the links get broken. If there is anything you are trying to find through a bad link then let me know and I'll try and update it.
The OOZNEST site below is really quick to respond to questions and as I said in the video carry many parts I and perhaps you will need. Try them, you won't be disappointed.
Another site (USA) is OPENBUILDS. They have a section on their site dedicated to people sharing their builds.
