4th Axis for the KX1 CNC

Latest addition to the workshop is a brand new 4th Axis for my Sieg KX1 CNC milling machine. Purchased from Arc Euro Trade it is 4 inch diameter with stepper motor, plug and play.

4th Axis for Sieg KX1

It’s early days yet and I’m still getting used it, trying to find jobs for it to do!

I am using Vectric VCarve for the CAD/CAM.  Although VCarve is mainly aimed at CNC woodworking, it works great with metal too, I just adjust the speeds and feeds until the machine is happy.
