A short video about how to make a homemade CNC Metal Lathe. It took me about 5-6 months doing it in free time. There was a lot to improve and many things didn’t work at the begining but now it seems to work in the way I thought it will work. I’m quite happy of it as it cost me about $1300 if I don’t count the time spent in the garage. That gave me a lot of experience so it is valueable for me. That was a fun project which might help me in making future machines / projects / prototypes. Hopefully you like this video. During making this machine I was sharing my progress videos which you can find on my channel to. I’m making sometimes also videos about DIY CNC / DIY machines / Welding related stuff.

He’s got a lot of knowledge in machine making and CNC. He instill curiosity about machines in my mind and shared a lot of basic and more advanced knowgledge with his videos. I really like this channel.
