    How to Make DIY Metal CNC Mill - The CNC Modernization of Old Milling Machine



    Hello!
    I'd like to share a build video of my DIY CNC modernization project of an old manual milling machine. Bought for like ~$800 in scrap condition in april last year. I restored it a bit and converted to CNC with AC Servo motors and UCCNC control.It was a lot of work but I think it was worth the effort. My home workshop possibilites expanded by a lot with this machine.
    Let me know what you think! 🙂

    I think so! Now I need to find some work for this machine to make more tests.
