Building a vertical mill from industrial scrap
Vložit

- Here I’m adding vertical milling capability to my home-built lathe, again using mostly stuff from the local industrial scrap yard. A rather non conventional design, but for its compact size I think still a nice result. It's powered by a 500W DC motor, with home-build speed controller.The Mill chuck is in line with the lathe chuck centerline and able to move vertically and horizontally for milling slots. Thanks to the many CZcams videos on machining, I was able to quickly get familiar with some milling techniques.
You can find the design files like 3D CAD drawings, electrical schematics and microcontroller firmware files on my website page: www.simprojects.nl/lathe_and_m...

Protect this guy at all costs.
I'm just jealous now 😭
That must be some scrapyard! 😂😂
i know what you mean best thing i could find would be a rusty file and worn out hacksaw blades lol
Industrial scrapyard called AliExpress
@@timbrown9961 😭😭😭😭😭🤣
They throw out perfect tool steel bar?...lol
Absolute genius. As an apprentice machinist I wouldnt even know where to start when building a mill/lathe!
As a journeyman machinist, I ALSO would no clue where to start building something like this. I’d like to buy one tho!
am 2nd year apprentice with 5 years exp. this guy is bloody insane.
At his scrapyard which seems to be really nice :D
this is professional of the highest level, even controllers he soldering and firmwire by himself, so there are no way to repeat this project for 99.9% of people
In a post apocalyptic situation this dude could restart civilization with coconuts, he truly has a talent
I’ve met him personally and he is amazing! 👍🏽
Ja ja ja.
WOW! I know this is an older video but man you have some serious skills! The amount of knowledge in different skill sets is staggering. You have a vast wealth of knowledge my friend! Thankyou for showing us just a fraction of this knowledge and what can be accomplished with such skills…Such skills take a lifetime of learning and I do appreciate you sharing!
How really I can't enjoy watch this build. Totally insane and genius way of doing thing. I am really jealous, how such personne can design, build, program, weld electronic components with such precision. Thank you for sharing and giving a lecon.
This was hella impressive. I think my jaw dropped a bit at 10:30 when you switched from showing off your mechanical design skills, into PCB design. And all summed up in a 25 minute video. My man!
I absolutely just felt the same way when I was taking mental notes. I need more time to be able to do all of this. I need it all done like last week.
Came for the industrial scrap.... love the synth music.
I'm a little sceptical about the chuck but I LOVE your vice design and your PCB method.
Marvelous work... I wish I had half your skills.... yes, and your scrap yard.
OMG! I just found this channel - stopped a few minutes in, subscribed, bookmarked and I'm thinking, 'How come you don't have millions of subscribers?' - no doubt they are on their way!!!!!!
People don’t seem to appreciate raw skill anymore I guess.🤷🏽♂️
I like your simple solutions to complex problems. Genius!
Full stack industrial magician here! So impressive. Thank you for sharing
You sir are a genius! Keep up the great work! Thank you for sharing your projects/videos!
What an excellent build. You are a true craftsman. That PCB building method is genius.
I salute you Roland, that is an impressive and inspiring achievement, and a pleasant video to boot!
Nice of you to shout out to other YTers too!
I don't know how you can have so few subscribers. Your work is just staggering!
I am so impressed by the skills that this man has. Everything is so well made!!
I'm impressed by that 500w motor that can mill steel
Same here. Normally it would require to reduce the speed trough gears to achieve more torque.
Holy cow, this is the coolest thing i have seen all year
... or last year, frankly. Just amazing.
Well done. Best part: "non CAD" electronic build... and the step by step to get the parts out of the machine ... by itself. Brilliant!
So I was super impressed with everything...and then you started on the speed controller...who even are you👀 this is the type of artisan I aspire to be
For being built entirely from industrial scrap that is quite impressive! Great job!
That's an absolute work of art. The amount of skill shown here is idk I cant even put a word to it. Great precision on every inch. Good job
Wow. Great job. I am really surprised how well it aligns, and even cuts in the steel pretty well, slow, but well. Make sure it is all aligned, tightened, and lubricated well.
mesmerizing amounts of skill and knowledge coming all together
Man u just did a fantatic job! All that knowledge and creativity in one person. U got my biggest respect sir
I love your knowledge man.. it's as if I'm looking at a man who knows Engineering as a whole; not just by its division like Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic.. His skill is second to none..
Your skill and patience is amazing !
The amount a knowledge needed to avoid all kind of traps is impressive. Well done!
I would love to have a scrap yard with that type of JUNK. This is one of the bets video's i have seen in a while. I'm not sure what you do for a day job but i sure bet they don't pay you enough. MacGyver.
You are legitimately a genius, sir.
I have no idea why people thumbs down effort and ingenuity like this? Seriously great work!
What amazing job, great job sir. I really need this one on my garage 😭😭
Fantastic stuff, gifted and clever man, thanks for sharing your build.
I like that as you build tooling, you build the tools that make the tooling better.
Glad to see you back online, Roland!
That's a very very nice build and you really presented it well.
Very simple but really professional. Very very nice build and you really presented it very well
I thoroughly enjoyed that video, I so long for a lathe and mill but prices have become ridiculous for even the most worn out beaten up old things so I am leaning towards building one myself and this video has been a great inspiration especially as I am minded to maybe create my own watches in the future.
This video was amazing to watch. You are incredible man. I learned a lot from watching this video. Your innovation was top notch. I loved how you made the addition to your machine from spare parts. I am sure your work shop is outrageous. Great job man.!!
Mechanical, electrical, and firmware design skills? Ok, I'm duly impressed.
Great job! Thanks for the design on your website, the video and the explanations. Perfect job.
If more people were as creative and constructive as this, the world would be a better place. Nowadays, some people - grown adults - seem to be unable to tie their own shoes. Not so for Roland :)
Really impressive work!
Thats a lot of work and now you have a cool machine.
Keep on rolling Roland ! What a golden scrap
Teşekkürler Büyük Usta! Çalışmanızı izlemek büyük bir zevkti. Ustalığın ve hassasiyetin zirvesindesiniz. Keşke yakınlarda olsaydınız. Size güzel bir çırak olabilirdim. Türkiye'den selamlar.
I just watched your lathe build then this and I must say am very very impressed, you definitely earned this sub, must watch the rest of your videos, you inspire me to push myself further. Thanks man.
Awesome. Very Awesome. Ingenious in it's simplicity.
Awesome job Roland, very fine work indeed.
Excellent clear build description. Thanks for this.
You have amazed me, Roland. A very nice build.
Impressive, most impressive!
Awesome build! You have an impressive understanding of machining, electronics and programming along with a jaw dropping level of creativity. If you ever desire to increase the rigidity of your machines, I would look at using epoxy granite. It's far more rigid than traditional cast iron and much easier to work with.
Very cool man! Love to see more stuff like this.
Amazing machine. Thank you for sharing your process.
Stunning vid, watch through transfixed, superb end result.
Ok, hold up! I was impressed up until 10:52...Then he whips up his own circuit board and blows my mind!
This is fantastic, and also indicates that I do not know where the cool scrapyards are. XD
Apparently they're all in the Netherlands. LOL............................
Beautiful work
You have a lot knowledge to offer ! I am quite impressed with your lathe/mill build !! Very well done sir. I have subscribed and plan on watching the rest of your video's. Whenever I come across someone with this type of knowledge I make it a point to learn everything I can from them. I really hope you continue to make more video's like this , I really enjoy all the learning I get from them. Thank you .
Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing your results.
im impressed you can use a 1/2 inch end mill! somehow the frame is rigid enough?! very cool
Crazy amazing job, super well done
Saludos y felicitaciones desde Argentina! Increíble trabajo y un talento extraordinario. Gracias por compartilo con toda la comunidad de CZcams. Mil 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
hola Leonardo, en verdad se pasa con lo que hace no?! jaja saludos desde Mendoza!
Hoy llegué a su canal y quedé positivamente impresionado con su trabajo. Disfruté mucho los videos, resulta inspirador para quienes nos gustan la mecánica y la electrónica.
Gracias por compartir un poco de sus conocimientos con nosotros. Lástima que según parece, CZcams empezará en algún momento a cobrar por estos videos, que las personas suben para compartirlos, pero que quedan a disposición de CZcams
Amazing built, congratulations!!!!
Amazing build. Congratulations!
You are insane, just like us who are watching your videos. Awesome!
100 micron precision for manual one man NC machine. Very good work.
Extraordinary effort. Enjoyed.
Really a success, thank you very much, greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾
Another great project Roland. I always like your videos
Amazing project, I will study it duly before completing the project for the aluminium structure of my milling machine
great channel and enormous experience and knowledge!
Brilliant! You are a kindred spirit! I created pcb mill with scrap parts.
Really nice job man, congratulations.
Excellent in every aspect.
Accidenti che bravo! All'inizio avevo dei dubbi sulla rigidità ma alla fine del video sono svaniti quasi completamente. Un lavoro superbo. Molto ben progettato e realizzato. Bravissimo.
Very inspirational. Most impressive.
Alto nível de trabalho, vou me esforçar para atingir pelo menos 50% desta maravilhosa capacidade, talento e capricho.
