My next CNC mill

Postby RsX » Tue Dec 24, 2024 4:22 pm

So I've been tinkering some time with this design and this is what I came up so far.
The machine has a working area of 500x200x250 (X, Y, Z), the box in red in the pictures.
It is inspired by a BF20 and that is why it has a BF20 MT2 spindle on it.
I used HGH/HGW20 linear rails, 1605 screws and 3Nm nema24 motors (4Nm for Z).
The base is made from raw aluminum extruded plates and a couple of 90x90 aluminum profiles. The idea is to bolt the base together then lap and scrape the guide rails seats against a granite surface plate.
The same goes for the Z column.
For X axis I'll probably use a milled aluminum plate because it is very long. Then bolt 2 or 3 T-slot plates, and that's where I fear it will probably warp.
I'd like to build it using my 300x600mm CNC router, that's why the Z column has a spacer and the T-slot plate is not as long as the milled plate.
What do you think?

That looks an interesting project, but if you take my advice make it one size larger, size of BF45.
We built some of these: https://cncdrive.com/HBM45CNC.htm
The size of this machine is much more useful.
