This is a Hafco HM-52 manual metal knee mill converted to CNC (Computer Numericaly Controlled) In this Video I start off with a piece of high tensile flat bar 150mm X 150mm x 32mm (6″ X 6″ X 1 1/4″) and mill it into a round circle. The circle then goes into my lathe and I manually machine one face to fit onto the horizontal spindle of my HM-52 CNC mill.

I like it how it’s a Horizontal, Verticle CNC Mill AND a CNC Lathe in one.
