- ADVENTURES! in surface height mapping and CNC.
I think this is sometimes called surface digitizing, but I can see this coming in real handy for non-critical machining work such as engraving, perhaps.

Finally! Someone has figured out a way to use the warped wood being sold at Home Depot!
I think they’re sold out of that as well. I wonder if warped wood sits in a shipping container for months on end, comes out straight??
...It's not warped, it has a surface map integrated, it's a feature !
You still need a loan officer approval to buy more then one 2x4 .
This one got me. LOL!
That made me laugh way harder than it should've 🤣🤣
As a 30+ yr commercial painting contractor, I couldn’t be less concerned about CNC surface mapping..... I’m still gonna watch this whole video.... more than once.
Same..I'm in scaffolding and I have no business near a CNC...but like you said here all the same
Of course! Other videos you ask "Does this content matter to me?" These, you ask "Does This Old Tony matter to me?" And the answer is YES. Yes he does.
@@billstrahan4791 just can't quit em
Carpenter here 🤣🤣🤣
I tried to quit but couldn't
Hammerhead. Best delayed laugh I've had in while. Took a couple of secs to sink in.
Brilliant video as always!
Hello there!
Tony’s video is great, however, I’m gonna need you to make new one :)
we are waiting on yours videos too🙂
Always love to see the youtube makers coming together to chat in the comments of each other's videos :)
I watched the videos too many times….
I make a new one.
I didn't see a single wizard in this video. Not even an elf.
It's hidden inside the Maho
I found a troll though!! 😂😂
@@jamesmarks8099 haha
Well, of course not. This Old Tony never shows his face.
@@gildedbear5355 except for that one time. But we don't talk about that.
So pleased to see some fresh machine work videos coming from T.O.T HQ , man we've missed you !

"I was walking backwards real slow and everything, even staring at it the whole time, I couldn't have been more cautious" LOL been there before. Especially the slowly walking backwards while staring at it and blindly groping behind you for a tool or whatever. As SOON as you're too far away to save it, or look away for a sec, it drops. No matter what. Gotta love that!
Tony, your idea for the map -> invert -> cut inversion -> stick together process at the end makes me think you could machine some *ridiculous* halves of geometrically complex billets for the damascus/forge-welding guys to then twist and fold. I don't know *what* geometry you'd want to stick together, yet (with a lot less work than it takes to make those 'mind-bendingly close' EDM clearances), but I'm really excited thinking about novel steel-also-steel-but-different composite structures you could make, then acid-etch (or CNC-TIG braze some aluminum bronze filler onto, too, for gold-colored parts?). I dunno, I need a few years to build the 'too small for a building permit' shop in my parents' yard and work my way up to any of that, so I'm hoping for some instant-er gratification.
I see new TOT videos I click, that would be cool to see.
the trick to get to the electronic dance music clearance sale so precisely lays in knowing what you want, and factoring in the time to pick it out just before the stock runs out
@@grimmcreole44 ok I'll help with the clearance sale and you help with whatever the hell anyone else said
@@grimmcreole44 "the trick to get to the electronic dance music clearance sale so precisely lays in knowing what you want..." That's exactly what an AI would say. Go away. It's not your time to rule the earth... yet.
You lost me at "Tony," but I trust you because your name is Felix... And I think that most people named Felix are trustworthy. Right? So anyway, whatever you said, I'm really excited for. Yeah!
At first I thought he was using a clapper, but then I realized he’s working on a flamenco interface. Soon he’ll be able to write g code with nothing but castanets and a pair of tap shoes.
@RG • 51 Would a long line of G Code be called a G String? I can hear the copyright lawyers screaming already......
@@edwardhugus2772 I dunno, but each of these probed points are probably called G Spots.
careful there, we don't want to get into string theory... =D
@@wtfiswiththosehandles and, yes they would be. 🤗
@@MikelNaUsaCom I'm afraid it's a bit too late now... that horse has already left the barn.
Does anyone else wonder if This Old Tony was ever That Young Anthony? My leading theory is that he fell out of a tree fully grown asking people if they wanted to hear him talk about his CNC router. Like a dwarf from LoTR.
Was he also born with those stumpy finger nails? I've always wondered about those. Is he a black belt karate expert who uses those fingers as deadly weapons, for instance. Does he nibble away at his finger nails while worrying what to put in his next video? I think we should be told.
I haven’t seen Anthony Michael Hall in a while…
TOT actually broke the Spacetime Continuum. What you were unaware of is that the person that appears in these videos as TOTs son in this multiverse is actually TYT trapped in this dimension.
Judging from those hairy knuckles he's actually a hobbit.
@@AMRosa10 The whole "I'm my own grandpa" thing was portraid in an episode of a cartoon called Futurama. I believe the episode won an emmy.
Coooool! Looking at the first shot of the shark I thought, wait a minute that is not a flat surface... Next - mapping surfaces with laser scanning!
Good to see you in the comments. You're videos rock Torbjörn.
Same, i was trying to figure out if he just set the cut depth more shallow over the higher surface. Im glad i know the truth now, but wizardy is cool too
I've had the same thought! A properly calibrated triangulation laser scanner could scan the whole surface is seconds, and very reasonably get sub-mm precision. If you used an time-of-flight setup, you'd probably be able to get nano-meter precision, but that would get very expensive, haha
I frequently do CNC circuit board engraving and have been using a similar technique for many years, but since the circuit boards are conductive and copper is relatively soft it doesn't need a special probe, instead the probing relies on the engraving bit making contact with the copper surface to form an electrical connection to let the software know the bit is touching the surface. Mapping the surface is essential for good results as the engraving depth is only 50um in order to make very fine traces.
Cheers,
Jake
I was about to comment the same thing. Without probing and surface mapping, even slight unevenness in copper clad or in mounting would results big variations in the width of engraved tracks. This trick also works with other non-conductive materials, if you glue thin copper/aluminium tape over the surface. Just remember to connect the probe cable to the part, once I forgot to do that and CNC machine happily turned circuit board into punch card😅.
Holy mackerel!
@TheStuffMade, I used your videos to learn how to do PCB engraving! That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this TOT video.
@@Hunter271828 Always good to hear the videos were useful.
Cheers,
Jake
How can I be so sure I will never use this in my life time but still enjoy this video more than any other commercial content created during last 30 years? Happy new year TOT!
Myths say that every time you skip a ToT video, an innocent thread tap breaks
The legend is real.

Well, we can't have that!
It may or may not be true, but I don’t dare to try and find out.
Actually, every time you even _think_ of a tap, an innocent tap breaks, and you just lost the tap game...
This is so cool! As an engineer, I was able to do a similar thing in my job. I took a 3D model of a computer board, and took the surface heights of all the components to make a negative, with over sized holes. That negative would contact all the parts of the board while avoiding the delicate components. Then you can put weights on top of the board to ensure the board is contacting the entire surface when gluing to a heat sink.
Personally, I don’t mind at all if Tony pumps out a few wood videos. I’ll watch em all!
If he takes up crocheting I'll still watch. I don't give a rat's ass about what he does... as long as he narrates it! :P
His machinist friends will nutcheck him
I wood watch them as well.
I just want to say when my favorite youtubers put something new, I rarely watch it immediately. ThisoldTony is the exception! great content and very entertaining. Also I started 3d printing recently and I have to say that Tony actually helped me in unconventional ways. You helped me developed my designing mind and helped me approach certain issues in a new often easier way. so thanks! and keep up the good work!
Wow he actually liked a comment that was not from a collab account cudos grim you have the silver keyboard
@@gabewhisen3446 hahah thanks! I spoke from the heart! I actually suffered 3 big losses this year like Tony and i know encouragements like this help eliviate the pain a little.
Agreed. ThisOldTony is like a Christmas chocolate. Rich, velvety, and gone too soon!
I 100% concur with your first sentence. ToT is the only "bell" I have activated, because with him I want to watch the video as soon as possible. Others, even some of my oldest and dearest channels, I can wait a few days until I have some breathing room to enjoy the video at my own pace. But with ToT, I know I will watch it a second and third time to really let the humor and information sink in deep. I think I've watched half his videos three times, a quarter even more and many I'm only partially interested at least one or twice.
Perfect timing, just about to have my dinner, here in Scotland. Something to watch, and eat my curried haggis supper. So I'll say, great video 5* before watch it in a minute and expect to be entertained.

Woah! Another this old tony video! It must be my lucky day. Thanks so much for the awesome videos, they are always so much fun to watch. Keep up the amazing work!
Checking what year it is was perfect! The fact that we're two weeks away from 2022 when it still feels like 2019 boggles the mind!

"Hey Raul, get back on the line! And what are you grinning about?"
😂
So glad youre back!! Loving having your videos again!
Great to have you back Tony, happy Christmas and keep up the fantastic video's
Some 3D printers have this technology too. Both of mine probe the surface of the print bed before they start. One uses an induction sensor and one uses a physical probe. They're also set up to zero out the surface as the print height increases.
i did want to mod my printer (ultimaker spinoff) into probe scanner but had very hard time finding good guides on it
I use manual mapping on mine. Initially I used manual mesh mapping, which is a measure the points then your good to go... until you clean your machine or nudge it and change the geometry in subtle ways we can't even see with our human eyes. Moved on to billinear mesh leveling which allows me to specify a z-offset and tilt to adjust it when things change. Pro-tip do not use a 10x10 grid, that's 100 points you will have to measure multiple times to get it honed in, stick to something more sane like a 3x3 unless you really need that level of accuracy.
You mean Bltouch?
@@ErrorTH Best way would be buying the antclabs bltouch, and making your own custom firmware using marlin or something, if you can code a little.
I was going to mention that until I saw your post, so I'll just expand on it here. ;-)
In the 3D printing community this technique is normally called "mesh bed leveling". There are various methods of probing the bed surface. All current Prusa printers and some others use inductive sensing to find a metal underlayer of the print surface (and thus require a z-level offset to account for the thickness of any surface layers/treatments on the metal). Others use a BL Touch (or similar) mechanical probe. And the newly announced, but not available yet, Prusa XL printer uses a strain gauge in the hot-end assembly to touch the surface with the nozzle to probe (there may be other printers that do this, but I'm unaware of them). Several of the 3D printer firmware families (I know Marlin does, I suspect Klipper does but don't know for sure, not sure about the other firmware families) have the mesh leveling built in and use gcodes like G29 or G80 to initiate the probing routine.
Often the way the 3D printer firmware applies the surface probing is they use the full value of the mesh to the first layer, and slowly over the next few layers decrease the effect of the surface mesh z adjustment until it isn't applied anymore.
This video was perfect for me. I have been curious about how to do this for awhile (surface mapping) to engrave some components. I just didn't know where to start looking to get more info. Now armed with the correct terminology I can find out more. Plus I was dying when you said "It turns out I'm the reason I can't have nice things" Hope that probe tip replacement works out and thanks for another awesome video. It always brightens my day when I see a new video pop up in the notifications.
I love your CNC vids. It's what brought me to your channel and I stayed for the content.
I have to say that your stories (video's) are always fun as well as very fully packed with good information. Thank you for helping me to enjoy life.
We do this in astrophotography too. :)
The calibration is done using "flat frames" that capture the non-even illumination of the field due to optical limitations.
Yeah, or the appropriately named ‘bias frames’. Where do you stand on darks?
Sounds really cool and pretty easy. I mean, it's not rocket science...
um…
never mind.
We do this in microscopy too! You want to generate a mosaic image of high-res images of a larger sample, and all have them in focus, even if the specimen holder, the specimen itself and the coverslip aren't flat? Surface mapping ftw!
@@lwizzit Bias and darks are more about system noise than contour mapping, so I deliberately stated flats.
Darks are essential for correcting hot or cold pixels, while bias is more about finding the pedestal (or "DC" component, if you like) of the read out values.
I'm just about to change from a CCD to a CMOS sensor, so I guess I'll be challenging my own mindset on those! ...
I've been waiting for someone to explain this to me in a way I can partially understand and nod my head like I know what you are talking about.... Thanks a lot ToT, I'm so much smarter than I was before I watched this video.
I missed thig man so much... Genuinely glad to have fresh content coming across my feed again.
Thanks for all the work you do Tony, hope getting everything re-arranged wasn't too much a headache.
I've been re-watching a your old videos just to get my TOT fix. So happy you're back :)
This is just like auto-bed leveling on a 3d printer. Awesome stuff Tony!
I'm so pleased to have you back lately. Thank you for your videos, they are always top notch.
Ho-Ho-Ho. Merry Christmas, Tony. All my best to you and yours. Thank you for all the video gifts over the past year.
So happy to see you around again. Just the perfect Christmas gift!
28 years machining and I never knew this was possible, Great Video thanks for sharing mate 👍
TOT the Bob Ross of material shaping (mainly metal), humourous yet informative & very relaxing! (happy accident? Who knows) Just know I missed him while he was off air & really glad he's back :-)
Indeed , So happy Tony is back, We all missed you man! Awesome Video !!!
Might be nothing new to some people but I didn’t know about it and now I do! Thanks Tony! My favorite you tube channel. Your videos are great. So glad your back!
These always impress me watching them lightly move around, I feel like if I wrote the code it would just slam full speed into the work piece
Love this surface mapping! With each video of yours, I feel I'm being pulled closer and closer towards CNC..
..not the same, but I'm still dreaming to implement a good solution for non-planar 3D Printing, using 3 axis... 😌
There's a video or two out there with non-planar 3d printing. You'll always be constrained by head geometry. What are you thinking you'd like to do?
@@chaos.corner make the head swivel over 2 axis :p
@@markkalsbeek5883 That would be 5 axis then
here's an idea: imagine a bubblegram, but the medium can fall away, and the "bubbles" become solid like a sintering 3d printer.
"someone smarter than me..." I love your humility Tony but Sir...you are one sharp cat! Great video! TY!
This was dope Old Tony, Glad to have you back!
love wood videos wish you would do more woodworking tbh .. its really cool to see a machinists perspective to woodworking
tried this on super janky chinese router to do pcb milling ages ago - weirdly accurate! thanks for another great video!
So good to have you back TOT. Hope all is well or healing with you and yours.
thank you for your content. you are by far my favorite creator of content, and by that ...I mean content creator
Glad to see cmm scan technology applied to cnc now. Now if my customers who send me one half of a broken casting would get this my world would greatly improve. They could scan the actual half, increase for shrinkage and invert for the missing side to send a solid complete pattern
I love you, Dad.
Man I laughed so much with the last emoji face XD. I'm so happy to have you back!!!! Nice video as always! Best from Spain.
Yo, Ton. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Just wanted to say I think it's great you put things on ice while you focused on your family. Respect
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family, Tony. Here's to a way better 2022!

Holy crap, I haven’t been this excited to click on a notification in a long time.
Thank you for the comedic pause after the hammerhead shark. I didn’t need the time to get it, but was able to enjoy it longer!
I can not express just how ecstatic I am that there are new This Old Tony videos. I'm an electrical/electronics guy and the closest I come to machining work is my current project of rebuilding my grandfather's Dayton drill press from 1984. Good square work man!
As an engineer/physicist new to CNC and basically unaware of precision and leveling I fixed all my alignment problems with a 3D printed a version of the Raith? I think? multi-axis probe...That tool with a raspberry pi + 1000+ lines of code (in bash script bc python is the worst) to map, analyze and change gcode, and drive my machine basically gave me the ability to make features with 100ish micron precision/repeatability in acrylic/PC...Then I got a resin printer and my mill has been gathering dust...Again ToT hits on a subject so close to my heart :)
Use the tool itself as a stop. command it to the position you want and stop the block against it.
I like the wood projects. I like the variety you provide.
I literally gasped when I saw that you just uploaded. Thanks TOT for creating excellent videos
I use a manual method of this on the cnc at work. we have some dodgy plastic that comes in sheets of 2440mm x 1220mm and i machine both sides to make tops and bottoms for speaker cabinets. this plastic is recycled and has a surface that fluctuates up and down up to 3mm, nightmare to get countersinks to be flush with the surface, so, i probe (this probe can only do z check) every location i have to put a countersink in. what i do is every time the probe touches off i pass the z value to a variable, my machine they are E### and just increment the number by 1 for every new location, then when i go to countersink i just call the offset for that location.
The software i use doesnt have the ability to do surface mapping, the machine is 30 years old. and this was the only way i could do it efficiently and fast. the machine has a cassette drive and floppy disk lol. Wish i could use fusion and mach. Im trying to blag my boss to give me and the team fusion, and he said yes but hes dragging his feet on it lol. As for mach i dont think we can convert the machines OS. its too old.
Thanks for the excellent vid as always. love you T.O.T.
yeah, inverse perspective transformation would be hard to do without a PDP11 to do the complex multiplications used in linear algebra (lots of matrices), you couldn't do the derivative analogically (unless you wanted to build a Babbage's analytical engine yourself). better stick with modern digital electronics.
I don't understand any of this about gcode, but I do understand the mathematics because I write computing graphics software for 3D point cloud reconstruction. its just a world matrix transformation of the gcode points into the surface mapped, we are literally warping the world space.
you are basically doing a lerp, a linear interpolation of the 2 points (current, aka offset, and the recovered), that kinda works. nice trick.
@Luiz Felipe thats really interesting, i didnt think of it as a matrix. did a bit of stuff on matrices at uni when i was studying computer games software development. thanks for that inciteful reply
So now the question, can you then export your surface map from Mach 4 into solid works, so now you have a 3D scanner? :)
The surface map file that it outputs is pretty much CSV format, as far as i can gather, very easy to parse. I could whip up a tool to convert it to a mesh really quickly if someone gave me an authoritative example file.
Merry Christmas Tony. I hope Santa is nice to you. I also hope that the more regular vids means that life is a little closer to normal for you.
Oh dear lord I forgot how fun it was seeing a new TOT video and taking a break from what I'm doing to watch it, man we missed you. It's good to be back on speaking grounds Tony
This principal would be awesome to use for something like a low-cost router build where big machinery/expensive operations aren't available (like flattening the gantry face on TOT's first router build). Spend some time with an indicator manually creating your own surface map of the tubing installed/loaded and have the software make it perfectly flat for you.
This is basically how auto-leveling 3d print beds work. It probes the bed and applies that mesh to the gcode to move in parallel to it.
Never considered this, pretty cool to see how it works. -future mechanical engineer
Same same
Using The Clapper to start a band saw is a stroke of genius. If you have already proven yourself incompetent with a band saw, then you can't clap with that one remaining hand, and your band saw privileges are de facto revoked. Brilliant!
Great video as always Tony, hope you and family have a great xmas
I nearly rolled my eyes when you explained the intro engraving. Not gunna lie, I loved that joke, and would totally do that to my hammers if I was able to
God I love the dad jokes!
I'm a gunsmith, all manual machining. I dont even know how to turn on a cnc machine but still love these videos just because it's TOT.
Yeah, same here. I have run CNC machines in the past but I am mostly stuck with manual machines without even DRO. Still pretty pleased with stuff we can turn out though. I machined a custom railed PCC receiver a few years back, it had about a foot of 1913 rail on top. I cut every single one on the wheels. Jog .375, cross, jog .019, return, jog .375, cross, jog .019, return, for 31 individual slots. Came out clean and to spec.
@@karatos I don't have the luxury of a dro on either of my two lathes or my mill. But I damn sure set indicators all over lol.
Love your videos! It's amazing to see what can be done with modern hobbyist-level CNCs. I did similar "map the surface" projects using Fanuc CNCs and Renishaw probes. The most complex mapped large pipes (up to 20m [787"], 2m diameter) so we could machine features accurately. 2-3 hours of probleing, hundreds of data points, all done in Fanuc macro language and PLC.
My best probe story... a careless operator cracked the glass body on a TS-27R probe. Still worked, accuracy wasn't noticeably affected, with a replacement probe a few weeks delivery. But the humidity (this was in India) would seep inside the body, condense on the inside surface of the glass, and could eventually cause problems with the electronics. So I had someone provide a condom; poked a hole in the tip, rolled that sucker on, problem solved! We used that probe for at least 6 months, replacing it every few weeks as required.
I tell this story anytime I see a probing videos. So this may be a repeat. Cheers!
In bed recovering from a surgery this morning and was so happy to see a new TOT video when I woke up!
ToT: Which wizard did you use for the surface mapping? Was it Gandolf, Merlin, Dumbledore? How how did you summon the wizard?
--Thanks!
I am wondering why the engraved letters appear to have such perfectly square corners when the tool used is round. If you look at the ends of the horizontal bars of the letter E @3:40 the ends are sharply defined and squared. It also looks like the tool depth was enough to make the full width of the characters in one pass. That is not making sense to me.
The v-shape of the tool is used at different depths to essentially get different radii in the corners. You can see as it cuts that the tool is moving up and down more than the height map would require so that it can engage different amounts of the tool. Close to the edges of the letters the tool raises up until basically none of the tool is engaged. Engraving bits can't make flat bottoms while retaining that tight radius, so if you needed the engraving to have a flat bottom for whatever reason you would have to use an endmill with an acceptable radius for the corners. Most likely you would end up with a much less rigid tool that way, and it would have to cut much more slowly or you would need tool changes.
@@joshwillis1726 Goodness! Yes I can see how that works, and it is very cool. CNC of some sort is something I'd like to have in my (mainly wood) shop, but I have not been sure how much I would use it. It's that sort of added value you described that makes it a lot more interesting.
I'm curious about this too. Josh's explanation makes sense if there's multiple passes, including extra cutting at each sharp vertex, but we just see a single, continuous motion. A truly sophisticated servomotor spindle and CNC control could "map" where the cutting edge of the tool is, and scrape that tool edge into and out of a corner to get this effect in a soft material, but that's not the case here.
When I first saw your tittle I wondered how you would integrate lidar with CNC, or the other way around...
So enjoyable watching your vids!
So glad you are back in action TOT. Missed you a bunch!

such a nice video to start off my antipodean morning, glad you're back
Hello Tony nice to hear from you I hope you are better than ever! Keep going and a wonderful Christmas for you and all your familly !!! By the way great video !!!
Welcome back Tony
This may have been the most useful video you've done so far, at least for my purposes. Thank you!
14 minutes of my life I don't really mind losing. I have no idea what you did Tony, but you did it well.
Great content as always, ToT! Good to have you back.
I will literately never ever use any of the skills Tony teaches here in his videos. This doesn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying all of them. LOL
I was having withdrawal symptoms waiting for another video from you! Missed you dude!
I made a cart with a pair of linear gauges facing each other to accomplish this same curved surface mapping on drum cymbals, but the pair of gauges means I get thickness too. The cymbal tracks with a linear scale so I can re build the point cloud. Works like a charm!
Way over my head, but I still enjoy watching. Thanks Tony,
Blue Probe... drove one of those for many years and loved that car into a rusty forlorn high mileage heap. Was moved a little to see one immortalized into your video. Excuse me while I go wipe away some fond memory sniffles.
Thanks This Old Tony. I saw hammer handle checkering video before this one and was intrigued by the surface mapping and wanted to know more about how that was done. Low and behold, I find your previous video and the answer to my question. Tool cool!
It's great to have you back!
Damn, you're the only RUclipsr that gets my humour.
Gosh it made my day to see a new video out from ToT!
New sub. here - you are a very clever man that has excellent communication skills on this topic - look forward to all of your future videos and binge watching the previous. Best Wishes from Australia.
You end up coming back for the endless stream of dry dad jokes and funny little skits. I found him because he did a collab with Wintergatan (mechanical instrument building channel) and not because I have an interest in machining... you just get hooked so fast on his ever witty narration :P
Always a good day when This Old Tony post a video. I am happy you're back my guy. I am happy to wait as long as the quality is good.
