STEP file and some PLANS available for people who joined channel support membership or my Patreon. But keep in mind that it is a typical "DIY" machine, I'm an hobbyist and it is not perfect. These are the plans I created ( but keep in mind I've done little modifications on the battlefield if any were necessary as it is a prototype build it might slightly vary from what you see in the video). But it might help to get on the right track :)

So... This is a short video about how to make a homemade CNC Metal Lathe. It took me about 56 months doing it in free time. There was a lot to improve and many things didn't work at the begining but now it seems to work in the way I thought it will work. I'm quite happy of it as it cost me about $1300 if I don't count the time spent in the garage. That gave me a lot of experience so it is valueable for me. That was a fun project which might help me in making future machines / projects / prototypes. I hope you will like this video. During making this machine I was sharing my progress videos which you can find on my channel too. I'm making sometimes also videos about DIY CNC / DIY machines / Welding related stuff. If you enjoy or find this helpful give me a thumbs up and subscribe for more such content. Thank you!

He's got a lot of knowledge in machine making and CNC. He instill curiosity about machines in my mind and shared a lot of basic and more advanced knowgledge with his videos. I really like this channel.
