DIY CNC Milling Machine Build (Part 9) NEMA34 Hybrid Stepper Motor X-Axis bracket

In this episode I make the X Axis mounting plate for the NEMA 34 Hybrid (closed loop) stepper motor.

DIY CNC Milling machine build.
My objective for this project is to design and build a CNC milling machine without the need for any machining of the parts. Ordinarily, building a mill requires a much bigger mill to get the axis surfaces flat and parallel.
By using aluminum tool plate (which is in theory pre-machined flat) and bolting the critical components rather than welding, it should be possible to avoid any machine work. After all, I'm building a mill because I don't have one!
Linear rails and ball screws are the cheap Chinese 20mm style that you can find on eBay etc.

Good job, nice work.

[@copychicken]

where did you find the couplers, i cant find 10x14mm coupler. 10mm for the ball screw and 14mm for the nema34,

[@mrmakinist]

yes my man

[@BenM0]

Hi dear @Seabass Engineering
Thanks for sharing your great project.
I want to know why do you choose closed loop stepper instead of a servo motor? what accuracy and speed do you expect from this motors?

[@SeabassEngineering]

Mainly due to cost. closed loop steppers are much cheaper. I have found that accuracy is so far very good.

[@tutops1691]

Excellent job, I'm from Colombia, could you please tell me the measurements of the ball screw

[@SeabassEngineering]

Ball screws are the same size as the rails at 20mm

[@mandem9319]

So I've been seeing you use these hole transfer punches quite a few times now and for the life of me can't find a place that sells metric size variants of the bloody things. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

[@HenryOCarmichaelSmith]

These are metric and were from eBay if I recall

[@fabiofazzion9273]

Qual tipo de motor é esse?

[@Z-add]

Can't the drill press tap holes as well?

[@SeabassEngineering]

Yes I was being lazy. It could do with a button for reverse wiring into the VFD too. I'm sure I'll get around to it some day

[@samraza5802]

Can you tell me what n.m of this closed loop motor ?

[@SeabassEngineering]

Hi, they are 4 Nm NEMA 34 short body

[@jaimeandrade9973]

El trabajo muy bien la musica para mi muy mal.

[@danielkandela]

Do not use rotating machines with Your gloves on. Great machining!

[@SeabassEngineering]

You are right, do not copy my careless ways

[@mrmakinist]

where is the part 10

[@SeabassEngineering]

Coming soon!

[@stewartfrye]

You should get a CNC machine to help do all those parts.

[@SeabassEngineering]

This is possibly the most frustrating part about building a CNC - Knowing that if it was built already you could have made half the parts so much better and faster...

[@mrmakinist]

but video time very short

[@SeabassEngineering]

I will try to make the next videos a bit longer ;-)

[@fieur]

my guy, please stop using gloves with rotating machines 😅

[@SeabassEngineering]

Yes you are right. I'm a bad role model

[@jaimeandrade9973]

where is the part 10

[@SeabassEngineering]

Just released ;-)
