How Rigid Can We Make the MaxNC CNC Mini-Mill? The Answer is Very!

1. POS , never was any good new. Someone gave me one, I'm giving it back. Not worth replacing all the electrical components, servos are Bipolar 1.55 amp 65 volt and there are no affordable drivers, spindle motor is old school AC/DC combo. Body is weak and 1/4-20 lead screws are pathetic. Don't waste your time and money on one, even if its free.

2. Do anybody know difference betweem maxnc10 and maxnc15

3. Hi do anybody know if there is a way to adjust backlash on maxnc-10. To reduce mechanical backlash ?

4. That’s great cuts for what it is. Affordable.

5. Man this brings back memories, I have a MAXNC15 some 15+ years ago. I fought with that damn thing for years trying to get somewhat descent parts with it. I finally got it situated and mad some amazing jewelry waxes with it. GOD I HATED THAT DAMN THING!!!!!

6. In Conventional Milling, the cutter rotates against the direction of the feed. During Climb Milling, the cutter rotates with the feed. Conventional Milling is the traditional approach when cutting because the backlash, or the play between the lead screw and the nut in the machine table, is eliminated (Figure 1).

7. The column stiffness must be equal to the base stiffness. A force of 10 kg should cause a displacement of no more than 0.01 mm. Better 30-60 kg. Use larger steel reinforcements.

8. think the deflection left in the machine is twisting of the columb

9. WORST CNC SETUP EVER……… U SHOULD MAKE A NEW SETUP

10. Hi. Not knocking that idea, just asking. Original spindle bearings? I also question you metrology. I can massage my digital calipers to make them read what i want (expect). good video but that looks like a lot of $$$ in Al, at least in australia for a tiny improvement. I bolted my mill to thick steel plate to THICK wooden bench. Not flat in any real sence, but stiff…er. Not negative comment, just talking.

11. The thick aluminum U-channel on the bottom is good. A block of concrete or epoxy-granite would be better. Cast some long hex nuts into the block to fasten the aluminum support to.

12. I'm not sure if you took it off or not but you're missing a bearing block on the front side of your Y-axis that stabilizes the leadscrew.-cheers

13. I have a MAXNC machine CNC machine too. What's the story with the gib screws on your X and Y slides? I've never seen them setup like that before.

14. Good vid josh, looks very effective … I don't think my maxnc10 he so much space on chassis for these mods but really cool. What's the cutter size and brand you are using in the side by side comparison ?

15. Great video, very innovative way to visualize the improvement. Thanks for posting this!
