CNC X Axis For Mini Mill X2
UPDATED: 4/9/2023 Video of Mill now Years later! you can see these parts below in many of the videos on this channel making parts for motorized bicycle builds now! This new version will be added shortly to this project! https://youtu.be/xwqrEGD05qw
Fully Printed Cnc Conversion Of the X-Axis for a Harbor freight, Seig 2x, Grizzly and so forth of the china mini mill!
Everything seen here has been used in my own personal mill for 6 years now! A few improvements have been made over time! But for the most part, the mill has performed well. I used the ACME screws that came with the mill. Ball screws on such a small mill are really not a needed item since it is not a high speed, low tolerance item.
This is a pretty Easy design using a NEMA 23 stepper and 250 tooth GT2 Timing belt.
everything is reused from the mill as much as it can be.
I will have a How to up shortly!
