*The Core of a [[CNC Mill]]
*Uses various toolheads to cut, mill, finish, and otherwise change blanks into filalized parts
*Can acheive high speeds, while at the same time having high torque
*Also can incorperate some sort of [[Automatic Toolchanging Chuck]] to hold various endmills/milling cutter/bit (Need a standardised word to be agreed upon before the page can be made), measuring devices such as an [[Edge Finder]] or [[Indicator (Measurement Tool)]], or a cleaning device such as an vaccum cleaner hose, an air nozzle, or a brush for automatic cleaning of chips/dust
*May also include lubrication outlets, or attachment points for these hoses
*Can be air cooled or liquid cooled

=Minimum Viable Product=
*Air cooled and liquid cooled options
*Options with and without toolchangers
*Optional toolchanger adapter add-on
*Can handle cutting cold rolled steel in a similar extent to high end models (as well as do other challenging tasks of a similar level)
 
=Basic Design=
==Motor==
*Three Phase?
 
==Bearigs==
*These are the real key to stability from the strong axial and radial loads
*[[Air Bearings]] and [[Axial Ball Bearings]]
 
==Seals==
*[[Labyrinth Seal]]s as well as minor positive pressure via air/gas pump
*This is key to keep dust out, as cnc mills are an inherently dusty enviroment due to chips and dust being produced
 
==Air Cooler==
*Passive, Active (Compressed Air Flow)?
 
==Water Cooler==
*Internals are most likely custom, but the externals can easily be bought as plumbing parts, or PC Watercooling Parts
*See Also [[Open Source Water Chiller]]
 
==Chuck==
*Either a manual chuck
*or an [[Automatic Toolchanging Chuck]]
 
==Outer Casing==
*
 
==Cap==
*Has air, suction, (Water if included), and power/data inputs
