Aug 18 32 Converting a CNC Mill into a CNC Lathe Occasionally I have really wished for a CNC lathe to tackle the occasional job that comes along that is too difficult to tackle on a manual lathe I have seen instances of a milling machine being used as a lathe by holding the work piece in the vertical spindle and clamping the turning tool to the machine Oct 08 32 So this is my Warco Knee Milling Machine Just as a project I would love to convert this machine in to a CNC Milling Machine and hopefully make some money off that machine or just use it for projects I have now had some experience in constructing the electronics after building my custom power supply for another custom CNC router
اکنون پرس و جوApr 08 32 Project Converting a milling machine to a CNC machine Page 1 EEVblog Electronics Community Forum I mention earlier in some topics I got a Proxxon MF70 milling machine and wanted to convert to a CNC milling machine It is a fairly small machine and fits nicely on my Electronics bench and it has its limits like not having big work area Dec 12 32 A real CNC machine is too expensive so I decided to go the conversion route CNC Fusion sells conversion kits to convert Sieg X1 X2 or X3 mills to CNC Sieg is a Chinese manufacturer of machines and the X1 X2 and X3 mills are rebranded renamed and sold elsewhere for example by Harbor Freight and Grizzly
اکنون پرس و جوDec 19 32 Operating a CNC milling machine takes quite a bit of knowledge and formal training Information must be input into the machine s computer control for every aspect of the operation This includes the tooling location and the dimensions that will be used to cut the raw materialSep 03 32 Finding a used CNC mill with something catastrophic and fixing it up WILL be cheaper than all the crazy monkey motion needed to convert a manual mill to CNC If saving money is the goal find an old CNC machine and get it running or do the conversion on it Decent iron will almost always be cheaper if it is an old CNC machine in the first place

اکنون پرس و جوOct 12 32 I am good with computers and good at operating CNC milling machines but I am looking to put an updated controller on a mill and need a little help I have a mill with an old SONY controller but all of the retrofit packages I have found are thousands of dollars and require me to convert my machine to their proprietary computers boards servos Converting a Bridgeport to CNC April August I designed and built my own Bridgeport milling machine CNC controls X Y and Z axes The design was based on various elements I learned about from the similar projects others have attempted with
اکنون پرس و جوMay 26 32 Here around July or or Im looking to spend about on a CNCMasters mill depending on the options I decide to go with including shipping I have heard of people converting manual mills to work automatically like that and Im sure it would save a huge amount of money How hard is it to do this If it is doable then I could either A Buy the manual version of the mill or What software do I need to run a CNC mill Creating a part on a CNC mill is a three phase process The part is drawn in a CAD Computer Aided Design drawing program such as AutoCAD Then a CAM Computer Aided Manufacturing program is used to convert the CAD drawing to G Code Finally the G code controls the CNC mill as it makes the part

اکنون پرس و جوYou might even want to start with a list of simple machining operations much the way you’d approach creating a part “off the cuff” and without drawings on a manual machine tool The very next thing you will need to do is convert whatever representation of your part that you have into GCode because that’s what CNC Machines runDec 19 32 Operating a CNC milling machine takes quite a bit of knowledge and formal training Information must be input into the machine s computer control for every aspect of the operation This includes the tooling location and the dimensions that will be used to cut the raw material
