New CNC project: 1um encoders, 0.5um capable servos (exluding mechanics)
Linas, Tue Dec 13 2016, 06:36AMHello, i am starting new project. This will be CNC mill. Basic idea is to make as good CNC as i can, and use it to make my life better :)
In this video i explain my idea for CNC, somehow i just over complicating everything i do...
If you want to support this project for FREE, just share this video in your favorite social media, 1-10M views should generate more than enough revenue to not cut corners in this project. Many thanks:

if were going to do that it seems we should be able to ask for parts occasionally.

In theory yes, if your impact was sufficient enough.if were going to do that it seems we should be able to ask for parts occasionally.

What free cam program is a good one ? MasterCAM X9 doesnt have a student version thast useful.

I have used HeeksCAD for simple (2.5D) parts
As far as I know it is the most capable FOSS cam tool, but if you want the functionality of modern cam software (like toolpath optimization, 3D and 4/5 axis support...) you will be stuck using the free/trial versions of a commercial piece of software. I believe that fusion360 is supposed to be relatively well featured, or if you already have solidworks I think HSMWorks is free for educational use.
Good luck with your CNC project. Will be interesting to see if you can keep those kind of tolerances on the workpiece!

i am planning on solidworks with HSMCam so far.
