INTRODUCTION
We are proud to release the newest plans for the X3 small mill - it's been a long-time coming! The Sieg-built X3 small-mill is
quite a capable little machine. As Grizzly states on their website, it's the "cat's meow" in small mills. We agree.
While manually machining is fun,
converting the machine to CNC (computerized numerical control)
operation is even better. CNC machining allows you to design the
part on the computer and tell the mini-mill to machine it for you.
But what if you wanted the best
of both worlds?
Our design maintains FULL
manual functionality. This is important since there are
times when a simple part must be made and manually machining that
part takes much less time than with setting up for CNC.
With this CNC conversion, you
will be able to machine 2D contours and complex 3D contours that
you would not have been able to do previously. You can then
switch back to manual mode without changing a thing!
What is CNC? And why do I need
it?
If you have ever wanted to
machine a part that had radii or complex contours, you'll know
that it's almost impossible to do so with repeatability and
quality not to mention in a timely manner.
With CNC, the computer and
machine work together to make your part based on a design in your
computer.
Imagine a part with multiple holes that needed to be drilled. With
CNC, this would all be automated. Peck drill at will!
How about that large diameter
hole you wanted to machine? You could use a boring bar or rotary
table, or tell the computer to machine it out for you.
Now, for complex shapes. You want
to make a mold from wood, plastic, metal. You design it in the
computer and have the mini-mill machine those complex 3D contours
for you. You'll end up with a mold you can use over and over
again.
So what are we offering?
figNoggle Designs is offering
plans (46 pages in all!) to instruct you on how to
build the mounting hardware for the CNC conversion. There are tons
of pictures and instructions, CAD drawings of each part to make as
well as a materials list with part numbers, vendors, and pricing.
Basically, this set of plans will help you get your CNC conversion
installed on your small-mill.
