🛠️ IndyMill Steel Plates – Ready to Build
This kit contains 11 custom-cut steel plates designed for the IndyMill CNC machine. This is the premium version for makers who want to skip the mechanical heavy lifting and jump straight into assembly.
What is the IndyMill?
The IndyMill is an open-source CNC machine project designed for makers, hobbyists, and small workshops who want a powerful but affordable CNC router. It’s a flexible machine that grows with your needs, allowing you to:
- Cut wood, plastics, and composites
- Mill aluminum and soft metals
- Engrave designs and PCBs
- Build furniture or custom industrial parts
Technical Specifications
8mm Thick Steel
6mm Thick Steel
Powder Coated (RAL5015 Blue)
All Holes Tapped & Ready
Assembly Ready: With this kit, you skip the most difficult and time-consuming part of the build. No searching for workshops, no broken taps, and no mistakes – just plates that fit perfectly.
🤔 Why Buy the Plates Here?
🇪🇺 Made in Poland, Europe
Every plate is manufactured and finished in Poland. I personally oversee quality control, tapping, and the powder coating process.

Really pleased with the quailty of the plates, and the overall design of the machine. The instructions are straight forward and easy to read.

Bought the plates & hardware for the kit. Had a blast putting it together. It has been a good challenge programming the movements since this is my first time working with CNC. Didn’t have any problems following the guides and videos. Would definitely recommend. I’m happy to be able to support such a bright lad.

The indy mill design is well thought out and the parts packages make for easy assembly. The instructions and parts lists are complete and accurate; the links to amazon make for easy purchasing the correct parts. The videos nikodem has produced allow beginners to build and operate a cnc with relative ease., almost like an erector set.

I purchased the plates along with the screws and bearings pack. Made building a lot quicker, I am halfway through just waiting on 2 more rails and ball screws to complete. Purchasing as a pack saved me a lot of time searching for the items.

The steel plates are of amazing quality! All the holes were perfectly tapped and i had no misalignment/binding issues. It is also not that expensive for what it is. I really appreciate how much work Nikodem has put into this project to make it easy for people to gather materials and build an windmill for themselves instead of dropping thousands on a commercially available CNC. Bravo!

I ordered this and the shipment got lost by USPS. After a while they sent another package to me.
I’m happy with the product. I like the finish and the accuracy of wholes positions. I also like the overall design of the CNC. still assembling the CNC, it’s a long process, and I can’t wait to cut some chips.

I ordered the steel plates kit and in addition the instructions and the arduino shield.
Everything fitted perfectly and was easy to follow. Also the quality of the parts were really nice!
The Stl files are really good as well. I was able to print all files at once and they all fitted nicely.
Next time I would consider buying the screws and bearing package as well, because it can be tedious to source them by yourself.
Overall I really enjoyed the build!
Tomas (verified owner) –
Really loved this build and buying the steel plate directly save me from a lot of headache. Overall good quality, only minor issue I had was having to re-tapp a few of the M3 holes.
Cheers!

I bought the set of steel plates after viewing Niko’s videos and finding that I couldn’t get the plates cut locally for less. Originally, I thought it was a bit expensive but I really like the idea of supporting someone who puts so much effort into their work.
Once arrived, it was clear that the plates were cut and powder-coated to a high standard. I have not yet built the machine as I’m struggling to get other parts from China but I’m very happy with my purchase.

Perfect to build your indymill in a heartbeat. Bought together with the screws and bearings set and it took me less than a week to build (after having received or printed all the parts).
One star less (would have been a half star if possible), because mounting a 1.5 kw spindle – which Niko mentions on his YouTube channel as upgrade – cannot be easily mounted due to lack of holes.
Other than that I would immediately buy this thoroughly and precise manufactured again and without hesitation.
