CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine is the heart of many manufacturing industries and technical training institutes worldwide, but large CNC machines are not always desired. Using only 3-axis machines is sometimes not enough, and cheaper 4 or 5-axis CNC machines are needed. In this study, a prototye of micro cost-effective, efficient, and reliable 5-axis CNC milling machine was designed and constructed. The construction process is explained step by step and the list of parts necessary for this is also given. The process of generating G codes for the desired shape of the workpiece through Mastercam X3 programme is also described. The procedure for controlling this machine and for machining complicated 3-dimensional parts using generated G codes and Mach3 programme is also explained in detailed. The constructed machine can be successfully used for small-scale applications and educational purposes. The machine would also assist design and several other engineering students in building their CNC machines and in learning how to control micro 5-axis CNC milling machines.
