How to Make a Five-in-One Mini Wood Working Machine
Recently,I found myself so into wood making. Therefore, on the 18th Maker Marathon of Makeblock holding on Nov. 28th, I decided to DIY a mini wood-working machine which covers the functionalities of the lathe, drill machine, a milling machine, grinder, and sawing machine.
Most parts are from: http://www.makeblock.com/
Assemble the Crank.
Using threaded rod to drive the thread-drive beam, the crank comes with high precision;
Assemble the Motion Platform of Y-axis
Assemble the Motion Platform of X-axis
Assemble the Motion Platform of XY-axis
Assemble the Accessories for Lathe and Milling
Assemble the Support and Stand
Install the XY-axis Platform on the Stand
Assemble the Bracket for the Spindle Motor.
I drilled an extra hole on the beam to fit them tightly
Assemble the Brackets for the Guide Rail
Install the Guide Rail and the Motor Bracket of the Main-axis
Install the Compression Bar
Install the Spindle Motor and Driver Board.
What I used was 555CNC motor with 24V power supply
Assemble the Circuit Board and the Motor on the Rack.
Now the assembly has been accomplished!
Last But Not Least
You can assemble various tools on the motor for processing different kinds of materials, like wood, Acrylic plates, glass fiber board, etc.
To avoid any injuries when the saw blade accidently flies out, it’s required to install a cover plate when use this 5-in-1 machine as a sawing machine.
