In this video I go over some of the changes to the CAD model of the machine design. Then I finish welding up the Z column and add some gussets. Finally, I make a machine chip tray which will form the lower half of the enclosure. This will allow the machine to use flood coolant at some stage down the line.

DIY CNC Milling machine build.
My objective for this project is to design and build a CNC milling machine without the need for any machining of the parts. Ordinarily, building a mill requires a much bigger mill to get the axis surfaces flat and parallel.
By using aluminum tool plate (which is in theory pre-machined flat) and bolting the critical components rather than welding, it should be possible to avoid any machine work. After all, I’m building a mill because I don’t have one!
Linear rails and ball screws are the cheap Chinese 20mm style that you can find on eBay etc.
