Going to be making some real shit now.

Quick back story, this fell into my lap, and now I gotta getting running. It is a Denford Triac PC CNC with auto matic tool change. Sup er Excited! If all goes well, I will be spending less time in front of the Manual Mill and more time In front of the computer.

First thing is trying it with the OEM software, getting a feel for the machine and the conditions of the Steppers, sensors and such. Once I feel like I’ ve top that out, I plan on going with a modern interface Upgrade allowing for much more fun, geckodrive or something similar.

The end goal is to get it upto a 4th Axis (powered rotory table), and after if it makes sense, a 5th (powered tilting action of the rotory table)

Stay tuned!

It’s so wittle! What’s the table size on it? I am impressed that it has auto tool  change being so tiny.

19.75" X 6.25"

Lol Weighs a fuck ton! Thankfully it has a hoist loop. It was specifically made for education purposes, so it was assembled with teaching in mind. Better to learn to plan out a complex job on a small set up then learning later on 6 figure equipment.

Dude, I couldn’t tell ya, I just casually mentioned to a friend that I wanted to set up a small machine shop in the garage. He happens to be a teacher at a technical school, and they are moving to a new building , so a lot of the old equipment was getting thrown out, and this was his, and although he was going to sell it, he instead gave it to me cause our interests are aligned, plus getting this thing shipped was going to be a project and a half in its self, I was ready right away to pick it up.

So the funny part was getting it out of the van I moved it in. We put it inside with a fork lift. By my lonesome, I used a hyrdaulic cart to get it part ially out far enough for a cherry picker to reach the loop, after lifting it I just drove the van out from under it, so I could rest it on the cart you see (best recent purchase btw ).
