The next episode in the CNC adventure:    • Learning to use an industrialDIY CNC  

This video: Making a big 'industrial performance' CNC router, that will hopefully mill metals.

The spindle motor in the video is a 240V single phase Jianken JGL100mm 3.2kw 24000rpm BT30 ATC. It has ceramic bearings and thus far seems very very nice. We chose a 4 pole one, which has somewhat more torque at lower rpm than the 2 pole, but requires an 800Hz VFD. We will do a whole video on the spindle in the future. You can find them here: https://jianken.en.alibaba.com/'>https://jianken.en.alibaba.com/ and if you do buy from them, message them and mention 'Flowering Elbow' to get yourself a discount!

The next CNC video pushing the limits of this machine:    • Learning to use an industrialDIY CNC  

This CNC machine needs to earn its place in the workshop, so the plan is to make something that can cut 8 x 4 ft sheets and flatten big chainsaw milled slabs, as well as machine aluminum and steel parts.
