For a more rough and ready, but quite entertaining, version of the DIY CNC (mill however) build there's the sage of Not An Engineer's build of a DIY CNC mill.

I love that channel so much

Not CNC, but I am addicted to the Cutting Edge Engineering channel:

I've been following Cylo's Garage for a while. I'm excited to see where he goes. Reminds me of Applied Science meets Tom Lipton, Robin Renzetti, or Dan Gelbart.

Another awesome video on precision engineering resources in the same channel:

Worth noting that the lathe project itself is on indefinite hiatus right now as I understand it, so don't hold your breath waiting to see finished results.

Most do not understand how difficult these machines are to handle, but there are some completed specialty CNC builds around.

Cylo's Garage spent a lot of time exploring these designs. =3

People interested in this might also appreciate this small channel: a no-holds-barred 5 axis machine with expected sub-micron precision. I've learned a lot about what kind of components are available when budget is not an issue (I'll bet this machine will cost 100k by the time it's done). https://www.youtube.com/@kasramehraky9283
