DIY CNC Mill Build vLog

Really you would have been better leaving a small gap between the base frame plate and the column plate then fitting some grub screws in the Coloumn base plate so you could set the coloumn true. This way you can fine tune the column with the rails etc fitted using proper setup tools like dail gauge's rather than cheap set squares which are just not accurate.

Then when it's all setup fill the gap with Epoxy metal putty, spray the coloumn plate with a release agent or tape the surface and you can still remove when needed. This process works very very well when you can't machine the surfaces.

Edit; Oh and the music on those Vids is annoying ASF...

Hi and thanks for the feedback.

Do you mean grub screws like the ones I can be seen installing at 11 minutes into the video?

The square is purely to help get the thing in the right ball park. Not much point having grub screws if the thing is so far out to begin with I run out of screw travel!

Oh and there's this function on computers and hand held devices called "mute". Some like the music, some don't. Can't please everyone I guess.

I didn't get that far, couldn't stand the music...But your right can't please everyone just like some have no taste in music...

*You're.

If it was down to personal taste I'd have put some Meshuggah in as background music. Unfortunately YouTube will instantly copyright claim you and take the video down.
