DIY CNC Milling Machine From Scratch

[totts]

Hello all, i had found that disconnecting the shield connection to the vfd to motor wires cured the problem, hence why i haven't been on here as i have been playing with the machine :) now i have a bit of free time where the machine can make some bits for itself!
I might actually finish it as intended! Hanvent come across any other problems apart from that!

I have been looking at getting a trough made up for it, so i can get some coolant running, as this seems to be the limiting factor of pushing its machining capabilities.

Also im not wanting to stand around for 2 hours with a bottle of coolant :)

Hello,

Bit late to the party but i'm new to the site and new to building CNC machines. Would be really interested to know roughly what your eventual budget for this project was? It's been suggested to me on here that i consider converting a manual milling machine rather than starting from scratch and i'm curious as to roughly how it weighs up in terms of cost.

Thanks!

Alex
