Those things are called blind nuts. Thanks for the video. I'm about to build one myself. I was thinking of ordering one from openbuilds but after watching your video I may decide to build from scratch and not a kit.
I started out with a similar design as a chinese kit. It wasn't very rigid, which may be fine for light woodworking. I was also interested in machining aluminium. That was indeed possible but hou soon run into rigidity problems. The delrin wheels are quite flexible, as is the extrusions when torsion rigidity is important. Especially peck drilling in aluminium was problematic. I ended up building a new cnc with the old one, which was barely getting it done. I used chinese linear rail with ballscrews parts and reinforced it with 20mm thick toolingplate aluminium. And the y axis was reinforced with a steel square tube, which helped a lot. It has no problem machining mild steel now, as if it were aluminium :)
Nice Build, I will have to try a wooden CNC build myself, I have also been following BobsCNC ch. Main change id make and you too can do this is make the bed a tortion box and mount Y rails lower so you have nothing obtructing the sides and you can use it as an asembly table when not routing.
Yes that would work quite well especially if you are limited for space. It could mean your side posts might potentially flex more as they will need to be longer. But Im sure with a little bracing that could be sorted. thanks Ill look up bobsCNC.
Thank you. so far so good, the spindle is a router and its got a pretty strong fan that blows through it, but I also don't use it for extended hours at a time
Its actually very ridged and so far its proved to be up to the task, I only been using the CNC for wood and soft materials up to now. The real tester will be when a attempt a piece of aluminum
@4:30 This item probably has several names, but I would call it a T-nut. Nice job on the cnc build. Maybe one day, I will build one myself!
the idea with the timing belt from below is very good👍👍 best regards, Rolf
Creative creation. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Your design is brilliant , thank you
Awesome, I have workbee cnc but your design so simple and it is effective. I like makita spindle mount quite rigid. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like it!

Nice build, simple and functional. By the way, those nuts you used for the hold downs are called "T Nuts"
Good luck

Love the simplicity of design. You may have an issue with the spindle due to overheating. That wood bracket is a lot of insulation.
Thank you. so far so good, the spindle is a router and its got a pretty strong fan that blows through it, but I also don't use it for extended hours at a time
very nice job bro maybe you can give it a nice paint job to mane it look even more awesome.
Good project. Could you show how the toothed belts that transmit the movement go?
I hope that
Hello! Awesome design. How steeper motors move on aluminium extrusions?
Ons Vir Jou Suid Afrika!
Please can you tell us what kind of stepper motor you used
Thanks 🇮🇳
Y do you use v2040 ?

Very cool! Where in SA did you order your parts?
thank you. I got the cnc parts from www.3dprintingstore.co.za/
@@sebs27 Cool, thanks very much!
Is x axis strong enough?
2080 extrusion is enough? There is no flex? :)

Can you make a video of the parts you used.
Not a bad idea, Ill look into it
@@sebs27 i hope that
Can i get your plan cnc plz
Hi. I don't have plans for it. it was built out my head by trial and era
@@sebs27 what is number v-solt
Can you share me link store 6:37
