Building a 5-Axis CNC Machine in a Small Room: A DIY Journey. (part1)

#DIY#CNC#5axis#Awesome_CNC_Freek Join me on a unique journey as I embark on the creation of a new 5-axis CNC machine from scratch. This series of videos promises to be an intriguing blend of craftsmanship, engineering, and determination, offering valuable insights for those interested in building their own machine tools. Despite being in a regular room with no dedicated machinery or workshop space, I am confident about this project. Why? Because I have built a CNC machine and a CNC lathe in this very room before. This time, I’m upping the game by constructing a new 5-axis CNC machine – a challenge I’m eagerly looking forward to. The focus of the first episode is the conceptualization and design of the machine. I believe in breaking away from convention and designing in a way that serves my needs best. The entire design process has been well-thought-out, with a strong focus on cost-effectiveness, improved machining speed, noise reduction, rigidity, and lightweight construction. This, I believe, will help those of you who are planning to build your own machines and are likely to face similar challenges. The new 5-axis CNC machine is designed to be compact, lightweight, and powerful. Despite the limited space, I have managed to optimise the machine to fit within a 40 cubic centimeter area, which is remarkable. I aim to make the best use of the available space by creatively thinking through the machine’s design. A significant highlight of my design is the incorporation of a simple coolant system. Rather than going for a complex setup, I decided to drip the minimum amount of coolant required. This strategy, along with the 45-degree angle of the spindle, allows for better control of the coolant and ultimately leads to a more compact and efficient machine. Besides the unique design of the machine, what makes this project intriguing is the fact that I am creating this machine with limited tools. I believe in making the best use of what I have, and my journey is proof that you too can build a machine tool from the comfort of your home. I invite you to be a part of my project.
