This CNC mill is a 29" x 8" 2HP milling machine mounted on a sturdy stand, paired with a Windows 7 PC, monitor, and a 5-axis control box. The 8.25" x 29" table features high-efficiency ball screws on both the X and Y axes, equipped with anti-backlash ball nuts for enhanced precision. Unlike other $3,500 mills that rely on acme lead screws—often plagued by slop and backlash—this machine has been upgraded with a ball screw-driven quill/spindle, offering significantly superior performance. This modification is the key reason I converted the machine to CNC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml1a9DAdnTc
🎥 Demonstrated Capabilities
I’ve successfully performed 5-axis CNC operations on this machine and will provide video links showcasing its capabilities. Please note that the 4th and 5th axes shown in the videos are not included, as they are not suitable for machining metal. However, I’ve seen 4/5-axis combos on eBay featuring harmonic drives, which would integrate well with the existing control box.
🔧 Included Components
Many of the original manual-operation components have been removed during the CNC conversion, but I still have most—if not all—of the parts, and they will be included with the machine.
💻 Control System & Software
The PC runs the renowned and reliable Mach3 software. The control unit features a powerful 4-axis G540 stepper motor driver, along with a G251 module for the 5th axis. To demonstrate the CNC capabilities, I’ll be cutting a #50 sprocket using PVC—chosen for its affordability compared to metal, which is cost-prohibitive for demo purposes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml1a9DAdnTc
