How many hours have you got in the building of it? Would you mind me asking what the total cost (money) is so far?

Cheers

Dibs

building took 2 years, on and off, with a lot of other work in parrallel.
cost is probably over 2200 pounds, excluding some equipement i had to buy to make it (welder etc..)
i am not expecting to spend any more than that, except maybe for some precision measuring equipement for the calibration, and a water pump to replace the washing machine pump i am using now.
 
Nice piece of kit you've built there Stef, well done.

Is the main CNC motor your using one of those ebay Chinese jobs that comes with an inverter? Looks a lot like one of them, if it is how have you found it?

yes, almost.
the spindle is indeed the 2.2kw chineese 3 phase 24000rpm 400Hz motor.
however, the inverter is a more robust ABB unit.

so far, pleased with the motor.. but it's only been running 4-5 hours.
