Here I’m adding vertical milling capability to my home-built lathe, again using mostly stuff from the local industrial scrap yard. A rather non conventional design, but for its compact size I think still a nice result. It's powered by a 500W DC motor, with home-build speed controller.The Mill chuck is in line with the lathe chuck centerline and able to move vertically and horizontally for milling slots. Thanks to the many YouTube videos on machining, I was able to quickly get familiar with some milling techniques.
You can find the design files like 3D CAD drawings, electrical schematics and microcontroller firmware files on my website page: [ Ссылка ]
