Making a Real Frame! - DIY CNC Metal Lathe Build! #2

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Hi! This time I''ll be making a frame for my second CNC lathe project! Last time I restored a bit a milling machine spindle I've bought for cheap. This time I'll be making the parts and welding everything together to make the main frame of the machine. Later on I'll have to think about how to machine the linear rail, bearing and spindle mounting surfaces. It will be filled with sand or tiny gravel too to prevent vibrations.
I think this frame should be suitable for a simple homemade machine :)
