Milling Machine Rigidity Upgrade - Stiffening Plate
Link To Nigel's Video: • Sieg SX2 7 Stiffening Bracket G'day everyone, In this video I will be trying to stiffen the milling machine in order to increase the rigidity and dampen the vibrations, which are especially bad when doing deep cuts in steel. The fact or the matter is that the milling machine just doesn't have enough mass, and the overall mass of the column leaves a lot to be desired. In this video I will be mounting a stiffening plate to the back of the mill column to increase the rigidity. I hope you find this video useful, especially if you are looking at improving your own mini mill. #millingmachine #machining #diy Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 0:36 - Vibration Issues 2:00 - Steel Plate 4:14 - Drilling The mounting Holes 4:57 - Drilling, Counterboring And Mounting 7:24 - Testing And Before/After Comparison
