I'd like to make a small cnc mill. The parts I'd be playing with would be small, like 100mm x 150mm x 40mm. Most of it would be plastics but I'd like to be able to some light brass and aluminium. Most of the designs I've seen have much bigger areas and it seems silly to sacrifice rigidity and accuracy for space I'd never use. Anyone got any links to any examples of small mills?

rotor posted:what's your budget? Ideally about £500 or less. I've got a dialysis machine I can pull stepper motors from and MY GIRLFRIEND works in special effects so has a few machinist friends I can probably blag some materials from so I guess most of that budget can go to ball screws, controller and spindle. My rough idea is that by keeping the build area as small as possible it might make getting a steel or aluminium plate to use as a base for a gantry style design less expensive Loving Africa Chaps fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Nov 10, 2013 |

I'm not sure why you'd need 5 axis unless you like impellers because thats all i've seen them make
