Dirt Rider's Home CNC Shop

I have tremendous respect for the beautiful results Dirt Rider gets from a very modest round column mill he has converted to CNC:

Industrial machining equipment with pipes, wires, and control panels, accompanied by a computer monitor.

The Mill, with flood coolant enclosure. It's a round column mill/drill!

Gold-coloured metal component with hole and engraved text "EAT".

Gold-colored metal part with engraved text: DUCATI.

Brass or bronze clamp with two large circular holes and a small central hole, designed for Polini 50cc motorcycle engine.

Industrial machine surrounded by debris and tools.

New Addition is a NASA II CNC Milling Machine. Get a load of the sound system in the top right! That's not the original control he had on the mill when I first saw it. Not sure if its a retrofit package (looks a little like it) or whether he built it. Check out the 4th axis too.

Now we're talking seriously cool machinery. How about a Haas TL-1 Toolroom CNC lathe in a home shop?

Here's the sort of project built in this great shop!
