- Some video clips of my new CNC build. This is a Pro4848 from Avid CNC formerly known as CNCRouterParts. I built this over several days working 2 or 3 hours at a time. The assembly is complete and everything is working great. Next I will be adding some MDF strips and tee track for a spoil board. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them in the comment section below.

Thanks everyone for watching my video and taking the time to comment. I would like to address some of the comments/questions below. First of all, this machine is an addition to my shop. The Avid CNC is NOT replacing my Gatton CNC or any other CNC that I own. My Gatton CNC is a real workhorse and will continue to be. Getting the Avid CNC will increase my production capacity if needed but it is mainly for some R&D prototypes that I've had on the drawing board for a long time but never brought them to life. I have had a machine very similar to the Avid CNC designed on my computer for years but I just have never built it. So when I started thinking about adding another CNC machine to my shop I compared the cost of trying to source all the components myself versus just purchasing this kit from Avid CNC and it was a no brainer. There was absolutely no sense in trying to reinvent the wheel. This is a very well designed machine and as a person who has spent the last 30 plus years in fabrication I can really appreciate a well thought out design. This Avid CNC machine kit was an absolute joy to assemble. The assembly instructions were very thorough (all 314 pages of them) and easy to understand. I went with the Plug and Play Nema 34 CNC Control System and setup couldn't have been easier. If you have any specific questions about my new Avid CNC Pro4848 feel free to ask me during my next Saturday livestream. Thanks again.
Hi Dave, I have a Gatton 5 x 5, and cncRouterparts 48x96 as well and its just a solid and robust machine. I've had it for 3 years now and NO issue whatsoever. I will be getting their new Rotary axis soon. Have fun with your new acquisition.
I'm in the gathering phase of building my first machine (still waiting on linear guides from China), and something that not many (if any) videos for home-shop CNC businesses talk about is how much of their day they spend doing business functions. Sales, marketing, Etsy, Ebay, craft shows, etc. We all want to play with the machines, but some of us plan on trying to make them pay their own way. What do we have to look forward to? Besides 14-hour days, I mean.
@@rallen7660 15 hour days. LOL
Can you share the design
@@vikramshinde4546No. Not mine to share. Go check out their website.
I looked long and hard at their machines. Hard to judge from a picture but your video puts perspective on it. It looks like a beast! Thanks for uploading this video. Can't wait to see what you make with it.
I'am Ricardo from Brazil. I work in Fca Chrysler, with industrial automation. When I look this video, made it in our garage, I think: amazing bro.
My gantry legs are very similar and I thought they were unique until I saw this. A beautiful machine build thanks for posting.
My 4x8 Plasma table arrives on Tuesday and my 4x8 table arrive in a few weeks. Can't wait. Great Video. Have fun with her :)
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it very much.
Knowing
My first cnc router was your first wooden model. I used it for 3 months and gave up. Bought a 48x24 kit from CNC Router Parts 4 years ago and have never been disappointed.
Thanks for watching Jim. I appreciate it.
Good morning Dave, These are the machines we use in out business, Just as Jim said below, I started with your wooded machine and eventually built this 4x4 and extended to 4x8. That us what like about Avid/CNCRouterParts, the fact that you can make them larger later without having to purchase a whole new machine. After running for a couple years with standard Nema23s, I took a leap and upgrade to Teknic motor/servos. While Teknic was remotely turning my motors, he made comment that the vibration characteristics he was seeing looked as good as a lot of the industrial equipment he had tuned. They are great machines.
Thank you Tony. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Very nice machine. Great video work 👌
Be interesting to see what you have in store for the Avid.
Thanks for watching Charles. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Now I want one :) Thanks for sharing the build and the time it takes to put the whole kit together. Much better than my shapeoko
Thank you for watching David. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Yep. I’ve had a Shapeoko 3 since 2015 that I’ve upgraded over the years (XL, XXL, HDZ, etc). I’ve long thought about a CNCRP (now Avid) Pro4848, but all in its over $10K and I’ve spent less than $3K on Shapeoko.
@@automaticprojects Shapeoko and Avid are two very, very different machines.
Dave Gatton For sure! I will eventually get the same Pro4848 machine you did! I’m just pointing out that it’s not comparable at all in price to a hobby Shapeoko machine.

Excellent work
Nicely done . Great job
Great machine sir.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it very much.
Great Build Video!
Thanks Cory CNC. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Sweet build and sweet machine Dave!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it very much.
Lots of nuts and bolts. Looks good!
Thanks for watching Jim. I really appreciate it.
Whoa there must be 500 bolts and screws. You assembled it very fast.
Nice looking machine Dave. When I built mine back in 2010, I got the plug and play electronics from Cncrouterparts Great people to deal with. Also went with their rack and pinion parts. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this machine.
Thanks Grant. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Since I have other CNC machines there is no big hurry to get this one online but I will be doing more videos on this machine in the future.
Well done sir
I have a Shapeoko 3 XXL with an HDZ and 2.2kw spindle. I'm going to build my own from a DIY kit like Avid or the like. How do you like it overall? Are you happy with it? Any things you wish it maybe had improvements on? Any quality features that stand out to you? Just trying to gather as much info before spending a good chunk of money. Thanks, Dave. Great video by the way.
Congratulations Dave. You will love it. I have the same machine an it has been flawless.
Thanks Montgomery. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Awesome machine! Great assembly vid. Enjoy the new toy Lol. Cya on the Sessions Dave Buh and bye
Thanks Dave. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Thanks for sharing Dave.
Thank you Glenn. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
What are some good CNC software programs to use? I have a 100w CO2 Laser and use Fusion 360 for that and some of my 3D printer projects.
Congratulations on the new machine. Enjoy!
Thanks for watching and commenting Gary. I appreciate it.
I like it, can you leave your shed unlocked, I shall be around to pick it up when it gets dark. 😎👍😍
Looks good Dave, I have often considered this kit as an alternative to my wooden CNC router
Thanks for watching Paul. Much appreciated.
Hi, PnG Custom Wood Works. I just saw your CNC machine, and it's fantastic. I bet your machine made out of wood is every bit as accurate and precise as Dave's new machine. When I build my first CNC, it'll be out of wood.
Wow Dave that’s a really nice machine. The gantry looks really strong. I’m going to check out their website.
Thanks Tim. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
I’ve been looking at the desktop version they quoted me 8k for the 2x2 which seemed over the top to me.
Check into Millright CNC they have a machine that is roughly same size called the Power Route for $3000. All aluminum construction as well.
Would have been more informative if you would have included parts list price and were you brought from to give us a realistic view point of buying or building. Thanks 🙏
Nice looking machine Dave.
Thank you Jim. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Nice.
damn that's what you call a cnc very nice machine i can't imagine what that must have cost.
So much for a shoe string budget Dave. That's a beauty!!!!
Thanks Clyde. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
What a behemoth and such attention to detail, I'm afraid to look up pricing though, as quality like this usually doesn't come cheap?
Very nice! I've thought about either this one or the Axiom Elite Series CNC for my next machine.
Thanks for watching Terry. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
@@DaveGatton You're welcome! I enjoyed it. Please do keep us posted as to how it performs. It looks like a great machine, but it should be, for what it costs!
Hello Dave I'm thinking of building my own legs from 80/20. What size 80/20 are the legs? Is it the 40x80 size? Thanks
Good day sir please what's the size of this machine and how much is the kit
Congratulations dave for the great machine, but one stupid question.. The title of the first track please 🙏
Thank you for watching. All of the music in the video is from the RUclips Audio Library and is free to use. The first track is called "Slow Times Over Here".
The build wouldn't scare me it's how to setup the electrical system on it. How difficult is that to do and get it connected to the computer. Are there real good instructions for getting it to run. And later if I should need technical advice where could I get help. Thank you for sharing
hello Dave a greeting from Italy congratulations for the beautiful cnc, I have a perplexity on the precision of movement of the rack and pinion drive system, can you confirm me its precision of movement? I prefer ball screws
im in the market for a CNC machine but thats outside my price range
awesome machine though and nice video
Thanks for watching. If you're looking for a hobby CNC machine you should check out the Gatton CNC at www.davegatton.com

yes dave grandpa
nice, I love it bud !!!!!!! sure wish I had the space for one
Thanks Chris. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
my mom hates me. I moved the garage queen MB out of my house and into her yard, thus making room for a CNC table.
Don't you just love working with 8020? I use it in my regular job all the time.
Sir your Great
Hello, wanted to ask about lead screw. Why do we need bearings while the lead screw is attached to the coupler and stepper motor, isn't the stepper motor and the coupler plus the housing, enough for the stability of the lead screw or in other words, what is the purpose of the lead screw bearing ? to cnc router ?
Gracias por compartir. ¿Que medidas de perfil de aluminio uso? Donde se puede comprar??
What are the dimensions of the rails? I am wanting to build one from scratch with the same specs as this machine. I have the technical know how to pull it off, I just think I can build one for a lot less than I can buy one.
I doubt that you could build just one machine as good as this one for less unless you don't count the hours of design time. Good luck!
Hello:
I really want to know how much this set of CNC costs?
and，Where can I buy it?
he has already identified this in the video description: www.cncrouterparts.com/pro4848-4-x-4-cnc-router-kit-p-251.html
@@waltrmitty Wrong info!
now I need one lol looks great dave
Thanks for watching Ronald. I really appreciate it.
Do you mind me asking the total cost? I have looked at avid but there are so many add on's I feel like I can't know their price.
Thanks for watching David. I appreciate it. All the pricing is on their website. You can select the whatever add ons you want and it will total it up for you. www.cncrouterparts.com/
david abe about 10k
@@joeymerrell8585 Thank you, looks great.
$5400 for the 4’x8’ without the stand. Plus anything you decide to add on in upgrades.
@@joeymerrell8585 holy fuck that's expensive might as well buy a used cnc mill
I'm jealous
can you put catalog this machine in description thanks
What post processor are you using? I have been running mach3 with win7 32bit computer. It works, but looking for an alternative for a friend who just bought the same cnc i have. I was wondering if there was a free done that is friendly with autodesk.
I haven't ran the new Avid CNC that much yet but when I have I've used programs that used the Mach2/3 Arcs Inches.txt post processor and they ran fine. I have just started to use Fusion 360 a little bit but I haven't tried using a post processor with it. I post everything in V-Carve Pro which I've been using for years.
An aluminum machine ..... I thought yours was a wooden model. Is there a reason you're changing? I do like the flexibility of being able to change its size. I have a question about the spindle. I have a water cooled on my Laguna IQ. Yours says "air cooled". How does that work? Where does the air come from?
That's not his gatton cnc. He bought that from avidcnc.
Thanks for watching Steve. I really appreciate it.
There's a fan at the top of the spindle that pulls air in and blows it out at the bottom of the spindle. Without a dust boot, it helps move the dust/chips away from the cutter (and all over the shop). With a dust boot and dust collection (highly recommended), it helps stir things up -- making the dust collector more effective -- IMHO.
@Steve Gronsky, I'd say you're better off with a water cooled spindle. I have the 2x2' Avid CNC and use a PC 3-1/2hp router. My router's fan blows chips all over -- even with a dust shoe. It gets really hot in short order too. I'd get a water cooled spindle in a heartbeat, but I don't have 220v in my "micro shop."
Of course, it might be that an air cooled spindle won't get as hot as a router.
greetings, I'm from the Crimea, please tell me how much does the portal with the motor and spindle weigh?
Great work, What are the aluminium profile used ?
Thanks for watching Youcef. You can get all the details at the Avid CNC website.
luvit
Looks like a great machine. Now that you have both, how would you compare this to the GATTON? Does the aluminum extrusion make the Avid more accurate? Is your garage about full now?
Thanks David. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Hi,
I am interested in that router, what is the roughly cost?
Thanks.
Nabil
Hi where did you buy the kit
Hey Dave do you think this kit will work for a plasma cutter to
Yes it would. Check out the channel Rainfall Projects. Justin has a 60 x 120 Avid router and a 48 x 96 Avid plasma.
i want it how mush ?
Dave what the working area on that machine like the size of that
You can get the specs on all the Avid models at cncrouterparts.com
@@DaveGatton yes I can see that was just wondering the size of your machine is that the 48x48
@@davecox900 Yes. It's a Pro4848. The work area is 49.5" x 49.5".
@@DaveGatton looks great Dave, I am running a mill at the min but do mostly Aluminium so looking at getting a good router to give me a bigger working area, the mill is only 10 x 20 so limited
thanks for the help Dave
Helll Dave. Thanks for the video. I’m putting together a new wood shop. I was pretty set on adding an Axiom Pro. Then, I started seeing more about Avid. Do you have any experience with Axiom? Have you ever compared the two brands? Thanks, Richard
Thanks for watching Richard. I've never compared the Axiom with the Avid and I don't know much about the Axiom. Zach @ Southern Ginger might be able to answer your questions about the Axiom has he has had one for a while now. I felt like the Avid Pro4848 was a good fit for me since I don't mind putting it together from a kit and that allows me to get a bigger machine than the Axiom is.
I am considering building one from scratch. How did this venture cost you?
I have another video where i tell how much I spent right down to the penny. If you are planning to design and build one from scratch as you say I doubt that you could do it for less unless you consider your time to be absolutely worthless. I value my time and am certain I would have spent much more trying to design a one off CNC.
@@DaveGatton hi. I think i know which video but i did not have an hour to sit through it. Do you have a rough number olease?
@@leejackson3781 ruclips.net/video/GtFabEUcbdE/видео.html It's a 5 minute video.
@@DaveGatton thank you. Thats really not bad. I was looking at shopbot but cannot get that size for similar money. With shopbot i get a lifetime warranty so that was attractive to me as well

Hi, where i buy one like this?
salut, comment faire pour en acheter svp ?

Now this is a CNC Machine. Something I should have bought originally. It has a truly plug and play setup and the Spindle is something you cant get from Chineese manufacture. This will out last any other CNC you have in the shop. This can do some really heavy duty activity.

@@DaveGatton I'm interested in people actually welding stuff together and solving problems, like ToT's router series, not this. But the title makes it seem like this is that. It's not.
I suppose from your pov there probably are no disadvantages to naming the video something it's not, it's gonna get you the views so you have every incentive to do so.
I'm aware you're aware, but it took me a few seconds to realize what the video was (or was not). Seconds which I'm never gonna get back, so I figured I'd return the favor.
@@Tristoo Seconds you won't get back? Geez, let me give you a refund for price you paid to watch this.
@@DaveGatton just name your stuff appropriately. The internet is already a clickbait cesspool as it is, and machining/cnc is this one good corner.
You do you. For an assembly video it's actually pretty good quality, pretty good editing, and you don't seem like a bad guy at all. All I'm saying is you'd have an extra subscriber if you named it appropriately and now you have someone who won't click any time they see your name.
It's a matter of principle, not quantity. If someone screws me over for 2 dollars, I won't trust them with 2 cents and I won't trust them with 2 grand.
I am one person though, I'm sure most people don't care the least bit. I'm giving you my grief, they'll give you their love. If half the youtubers out there are any indication you should be safe to keep doing this. Have a nice one.
