CNC Mini Mill Made From HDPE, Steel, Aluminum & Cast Iron

Here are a bunch of good pictures of my latest CNC Mini Mill concoction. It is made using HDPE board material from the Home Depot, steel tubing, aluminum and a cast iron angle plate from Enco. It ended up being a heavy (more than 40 lbs) and solid little machine. I built this for around $100 not including the 25,000 rpm spindle motor. Take a look at the pictures.

  2. Great job. CNC, or computer numerical control, allows a computer to dictate the moves a machine makes to perform cutting function. CNC machine are also helpful in to speed up production at large manufacturing plants . Thanks for sharing this post.

  4. Milling, as well as other machining process, is for purpose of making a precise component out of a raw material. The precision is mostly demanded in the dimension of the components (length, width, height, depth, 3D surface profile etc.), also in the surface finishing quality.cnc mill

  7. Your CNC Mini Mill looks incredible! The combination of HDPE, steel, aluminum, and cast iron is impressive, especially for such a solid and functional build. It's amazing that you were able to put this together for around $100, not including the spindle motor. I’m curious about the performance of the 25,000 rpm spindle—how does it handle precision work with this setup? The weight of the machine (over 40 lbs) must add great stability too. I’d love to hear more about how it's been performing in real-world applications.
