My newest router based milling machine I built

Hello all,
This is my first post here. I have been reading posts for a while and finally decided be a part of forum. A lot of great information here and I appreciate everyone's knowledge and expertise.
I am a real big fan of shop made tools and machines. In fact I have a few I will post over time. This router mill is my favorite and most enjoyed of what I have built. The more I use it the more I discover it's capabilities. I have a lot of time and experimentation in this thing trying to build it with materials available to me for a reasonable cost.
It has been about 7 years since I built the first one as an experiment and once I used it and saw the potential I kept improving it through time. I have a picture posted of all of them in order except for one. The first 2 pictures are the new machine and the others are in order of there build.
I made a video recently that pretty much explains the build and the features. I am working on some videos of it in use I hope to post soon. Any comments are welcome!

I love the care and consideration you have put into this machine!!! Your routermill has evolved into a versatile and accurate machine. Very nice!! I subscribed to your youtube channel.

Super job. Amazing!

I am thoroughly impressed! I don't know if I could build something like that well enough for it to work right. I watched some more of your videos and your machines are just amazing.

Very impressive machines. Great job!

Yeah! Cool.

Very nicely done.

How did I miss this one? Wow, that's quite amazing. It looks like a factory machine.

do you have a blueprint or sketchup drawing for this machine? I can see 10,000 uses for this machine, and it looks like it could save thousands off an industrial (with most of the accuracy of one.)

Very well done. Awesome job.

+1 It would be fascinating to see more detail, plans, etc

Awesome work. I did made a rudimentary overarm with swing capability and then took it apart with the hope of making it able to move up and down and swing. Now you have given me a mark to shoot for. Great way to make a bowl.

What type of projects are you using this for? I have a huge mill/router but it's just gathering dust right now.

Marc,

I have watched some of your videos to see what the usefulness of something like this can do. All I can say is wow! From being able to build a machine that can do that to creating the things that you create is amazing. Thanks for sharing - its always nice learning more.

Thanks,
Bud
