More small updates; the frame has been mostly repainted, the colour scheme is white & black. The motors may need to be changed (they're old & in bad condition) but spindles are in good shape. A little bit more cleaning & then I can start rebuilding the thingy.

Yeah, it's surprisingly well built & maintained. All the crucial parts are replaceable. The only thing I'm worried about is that the frame itself is hollowed cast iron, which may case some issues with chatter in the future. Ville

A small update on the machine.... & I finally got power to the hobbyshop :cool: . I've taken the mill apart & now starts the most time consuming process of cleaning everything. There's corrosion on the ways, that's a little annoying, but the lead screws seem to be in a good condition, which is a...

Time flies while cleaning my hobbyshop, so nothing really "new" with the machine. The tags on the motors only have power & system info, at least what I've looked in so far. The tag on the control pendant was an interesting one; it was a name of a workshop which closed in 2004 (it was working...

Wow! So that's how it was used... explains all the air hoses & connectors. There seems to have been a plate (nameplate maybe) in front of the machine, but it has disappeared somewhere.... there is another company name on the side, I need to check that one out. And on the horizontal head there...

Hello! I'm not quite sure if this is the correct place to post this, so my apologies for that, but I'm looking for any data about the milling machine I got just yesterday :p . So far I've found out that it's made in CCCP (Soviet Union) (or the power socket is made there, the mark is there...

One of Skills Finland's team leaders is retiring from his position so I got the great idea to make a "skills" boot for him :) . Made of solid block of aluminium. :cool:

Hello again ;) . This time I made my version of the machinist's cube... And one dynamic milling path :rolleyes: ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es8WpSah6ec

Officially the 11th best young CNC- miller of the world in 2013!!! Great competition at the WorldSkills Leipzig 2013!!! :p

I'm still greenhorn in these things but what if you'd take a small Ap/ high feedrate approach? Keep the depth of cut small but increase the feed, achieving the similar load than the normal Ap/slow feed combination? It could help against chatter :p

They came and went, but luckily I got silver in CNC- machining :cool: . The WorldSkills 2013 and building my DIY CNC are my next goals. This theme describes the whole event quite well :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6TXMsvgQg

Nice one! I like the design :o

Hello again, still bothering you with videos ;) . This time about feeds, speeds and surface finishes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxEHCOD1WSc&feature=g-upl And with a different tone; I'm representing Finland at EuroSkills 2012 at Belgium in CNC- milling woohoo1 woohoo1

More videos, this time it's Seco Tools demonstration part. I love those new generation endmills :bow: . Material is plain steel and the feedrate could have been 3X higher :o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fg4hhYCVII

More parts and videos. Feel free to comment, because I can learn from my mistakes and everyone here :bow: :bow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDzXGFQ-v8&feature=g-upl&context=G2f8bcefAUAAAAAAAAAA

Few more photos. The crashed part was a supposed to be external thread, but Mastercam tried to make it a square instead of round ??? Other photos are the CNC machines that I'm familiar with :big: :big:

Thank you Don. :bow: Here's few more photos. These were made on a CNC lathe. :D

I don't know if this is a right place to add this, but here's few of my works from school and from training. All of these were made with the help of CNC, but without any help from a teacher or classmates (I had to teach them how to do these things :-X ). So far I've gotten familiar with Fanuc...

Got my engine back from school :big: . There was a becoming acquainted to Vocational Institute event, and my former teacher asked if he could borrow my engine as a show piece for a while :o . After the event teacher told me that the engine had raised a lot of interest within visitors :big: . It...

It's difficult to find words for that :o , it's unbelievable and awesome :bow: :bow:
