LEAD Lathe
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/297.jpg?t=1389472486)
I have been toying with the idea of making a 3 axis rotary CNC machine for awhile. I wanted to make it with off the shelf OpenBuilds parts so any one can replicate it and I felt the LEAD High Z Mod would be a good starting point.
Y table for LEAD Lathe - essentially a High Z Cbeam XL
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/286.jpg?t=0)
I built the lathe as a dedicated rotary axis, but I soon realized I could have a back up CNC for very little expense.

Goliath - CNC + 3D printer Hybrid
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/295.jpg?t=0)
Mostly for Mill work, and FDM 3D printing (mostly Nylonx). I'm currently in the process of adding some hardware for a project requiring lathe work. I've included a solidworks 2014 pack and go for those of you interested in the build. if you need another file type, just let me know and i can try to accommodate. This is a scratch build (electronics and hardware)... see photos. Everything is pretty close to industrial quality... Electronics too. I got sick of other COTS designs breaking down
Desktop 4-Axis Nema 23
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/297.jpg?t=1389472486)
This build is specific to a furniture design I am trying to bring to market. My first attempt to build a machine. I have looked at other build submissions to help me figure out where I would like to start. The workable volume should 36" W x 6" D x 6" T. The goal is to become more comfortable with the electronics side of machines I enjoy using and also lower the cost of my product by reducing man hours in the manufacturing process. Yay!

My Controls box to run my Workbee 1510 That was retrofitted with Lead Screws as well as Lineal Bearings. The stock electrical configuration was not enough, so here are the Measures that I took to not only make this machine Run again, but to have fun with it, and make this system be able to run any CNC I run in the future with the installed microcontroller.

The Floating Dust Shoe
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/295.jpg?t=0)
I wanted a dust shoe that have a easy access to tool change and something that kind of float on the surface. And I have seen shoes with long brush that sucked in by the vacuum. I think I have the solution too all that here.

![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/286.jpg?t=0)
I am building a multi tool CNC. I plan to have a quick change tooling system that will accept Routers, oxy acetylene torch, Plasma torch. etc. there will be a water bed under the convertible router table / work bench. The inspiration to build this machine is from having a small garage and not a shop.

Fourth Axis Mill Prototype
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/297.jpg?t=1376658449)
I really like the 4th axis I purchased a few years back, but when I went looking for it again the suppliers who once carried it no longer do. Anyone know who makes it? Center hole receives collets. I own a ShopSmith so I am using a 5/8th rod and can mount it's chucks onto this machine. Also I like the use of the skateboard wheels, they are adjustable and one could use more sets over a longer axis. The Sherline z-axis is not my first choice, I just had a spare.

Steel square tube frame with dual feed gantry and indexing lathe section. Will have 36" x 30" x 6" travel. Has a Harmonic Drive on the 4th Axis.
Router Box
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/295.jpg?t=1389472559)
This box is made from tough aluminum with plastic boards, helps hold WiFi Routers, Modems, or/ Ethernet Switches! The aluminum can resist the heat produced by these electronics, and the weight of the electronics, also being light itself. This box is the thing you need to hold your electronic devices!
Extendable Mini Mill

Another MiniMill, different to the OpenBuilds version and potentially more flexible because of the design.

FRANKINATOR -- My CNC Router Built Around The C-Beam Rail
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/286.jpg?t=0)
I started this build about 2 weeks after the c-beam hit the store. I purchased a single bundle and ordered a TinyG to run it. where I work I have Hardware, Software and Mechanical engineers and they all got sucked into my project. they want one to do prototyping at the office, once they see mine...
Lathe 4" x 40"
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/297.jpg?t=1389472486)
This is a lathe. I do not plan on making parts for NASA, but I want to be able to turn, face and bore things like wood, brass, aluminum and plastics.
CBeam OX
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/286.jpg?t=1389472260)
i wanted to use both the ox and the C beam C beam for the gantry because its stronger i also made the gantry 20 mm higher so i can cut thinker material i will maybe later go to rack& pinion on the 1500 mm Y axes also instead of the V wheels i will maybe go to hiwin in the furture
