Poor man’s mill
May 15th, 2009
Some parts of the revised CNC would benefit from a little more accuracy and precision than my current set of tools can manage. It may be possible to make a crude hand-operated mill out of my drill press. I purchased two steel plates from Lowes and two drill-press clamps from Home Depot, which I will slap together tomorrow morning. Total cost was around $40.
The idea is to create a stencil, trace the image on the material, and use the improvised mill to cut it out.
