Everyone Told Me This CNC Was Junk — They Were Wrong

Video Description

This 30-year-old CNC mill was basically dead — old electronics, broken servos, rust, grime, and a control system from the early 90s. Most people would have scrapped it, but I decided to rebuild it from the ground up. In this video, I start restoring a 1992 Kitamura Mycenter and begin turning it into a modern, reliable machine. From moving the 1500 kg mill, stripping the enclosure, and gutting the old Fanuc cabinet to 3D-scanning the electronics bay, testing the new Centroid controller, and planning servo upgrades — this is the first step of the full transformation. If you enjoy engineering makeovers, machine rebuilds, or just watching old hardware become better than new, you’ll like this one. ✅ *Chapters:* 00:00 - The 1500kg Delivery & First Look 00:55 - Stripping Down the Enclosure 02:45 - Satisfying Deep Clean & Degreasing 03:10 - Gutting the Old Fanuc Electronics Cabinet 05:22 - 3D Scanning the Cabinet for the New Design 07:13 - Sneak Peek: Bench-Testing the New Centroid Controller 08:00 - Modifying Axis Mounts for New Servos 14:00 - A Look at the New Spindle Servo & Future Plans 🔔𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. https://www.youtube.com/@TheYieldPoint/?sub_confirmation=1 🔗 Stay Connected With Me.
