    DIY inexpensive 3 axis CNC conversion of a mill

    Professor Rieg is at it again! (@ Institute of Engineering design & CAD of Uni Bayreuth)
    converting a mill to 3 axis CNC with inexpensive steppers & software:

    "A conventional milling machine Wabeco F1200 - but it should work with any brand -
    is upgraded into a 3 axis CNC mill using stepper motors and an inexpensive Estlcam control based on an Atmel 328P "Arduino" microcontroller.
    Programming is done directly using G code, thus neither a CAD program nor a CAM program is necessary." (35 min video)



    Caution: Unprotected welding on the mill might concern some sensitive viewers!
