I Made a Steel CNC Mill From Scratch - Desktop Version

Watch a detailed video tutorial on building a steel CNC mill from scratch. Follow along as the creator prepares parts, welds the frame using a "winging it" technique, assembles the XY table and Z-axis turret, and conducts final testing. Learn about the challenges of working with steel versus aluminum, including issues with squareness and alignment. See how problems are solved through shimming and adjustments. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of the mill's capabilities on aluminum and steel, albeit with suboptimal tooling and settings. Gain insights into the DIY construction of desktop CNC machinery and the practical problem-solving required in such projects.
