Its one of those days when you think you know a little about building stuff, then you watch this video!!!

That has to be the biggest DIY mill head i have ever seen, its a work of art in aluminium. Four rails? Wiper seals? Covered screws?

This thing could be made at the Rolls Royce factory :)

It really does need an ATC spindle in there though, collets & spanners are old-school :)

Nice work.

Cheers Dave!
Yes would love to do the ATC spindle but need to finish this thing first! I added footage of me changing tools and tightening the collet because 'Jogara' had a post on tools slipping on the ER collet. I hoped to show you only need to hand nip these things.
The wipers were Zeeflyboys idea and design but I was so impressed I had to fit them to my machine.

Stunning as usual. What is the make of the 3 D printer as it is lightening fast, I want one

Cheers Clive !

It's a magic hybrid printer - an Epson Stylus Office BX635FWD with a Premier Elements 15 app . . . .

I'll give you a shout when I need my 5 axis spindle making lol, superb work

Haha, love the 3D printer - wish it was that quick!

Do the seals sit ok without the chamfer machined?

They seem fine. I've moved the Z axis up and down and they sit nicely. Definitely adds some friction though so may need that second Z stepper. Also wish I had allowed them to float in individual housings to get them to sit perfectly aligned to their respective rail. But very pleased and a big thank you for printing them out the 'slow way'.
