- Starting a CNC Router Build can be a daunting task. This video will address how I would get started on a new CNC build and the things I would do differently to make the process go smoother for the best possible machine, from the start to finish of the table.

Really enjoy your sharing this information you're inspiring me to look into building my own I have no electronic background and that's the part that really worried me about trying this on my own you have a blessed day
I plan on doing a video over just the wiring in the future, can't promise it will be like your set up but i'm sure its very close and you can get a lot of info on the CNCzone forum....Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the video man been wanting to do one for years having trouble getting started
Thank you and Thanks for watching!!
Nice job, sir. I don't have one yet, but am getting serious about it. Your video is time-appropriate for me. THANKS!
Awesome, you won't regret getting one!! They are a lot of fun, not to mention a great tool!!! Give us a shout when you get one!!...Thanks for watching!!
Great again Bryan. Thank you because I Am one of the people that asked for help to learn from your mistakes. Hmmmmm...... Imagine that I am finally taking my fathers advice after I am a father on the downhill slide .... LoL. Seriously though it is a good thing.
Take care, good fortune to you !
I will also share with the community any good ideas and whichever gantry I go along with.
Well I am at 36,000 feet watching you and when the network glitched I actually put this comment on the owl video you did but regardless, it's great that you selflessly share to help others.
Tom
That's awesome, I'll be ready to see what you build!!! I'll share all the knowledge i can, because I really struggled at times, there are 2 or 3 others in the build process, when the first one gets to the wiring point, i'm going to try to do a video of how i have my wiring setup, like what wires go from where to where....I got a lot of info from CNCzone forum...Many of those guys are clearly experts....often i would find answers and info by just reading through a lot of the conversations taking place on there...Thanks for watching!!
Great video!
Thank you and thanks for watching!!!
Thank you for your support and information, wanted to ask, what thickness should be the steel shafts for a 2 by 1.5 meters diy simple cnc frame, are 20mm shafts strong enough for such x and y length and would nema 23 motors be good enough to move the axis or should be bigger?
Just about the same process I took, I had ordered the screws and rails initially after having the table base, built that while waiting for the motors and drivers. I built my Z axis though and didn't order a pre built. Definitely a good process to follow, the shipments from China take a LONG time.
I was really frustrated with myself for not planning ahead and ordering in advance...Thank you and thanks for watching!!
Nice!
Thank you and thanks for watching!!
Really like this, been looking to get into stepper motors, not for CNC milling but to actually drive a mirror less camera. Saw a vid on CNC milling and it just clicked for me. I was gonna a do this with camera sliders for it to be more portable but this looks really good.
Nice work
Oh wow, that would be cool, I put a link for the stepper motors I use, I think you would be able to use like a nema 23 or I think they have a nema 18 or 16....you wouldn't need the heavy duty ones like I used...You get that going you let me know....oh wait I'll just run over and subscribe I see you have a channel....Thanks for watching!!
@@SmokeysCNCWoodworks I'm just working things out at the moment, but i like the CNC rig part. I've seen a few which allow the bed to travel as well which should in essence make the travel appear longer. I don't need much too much torque on the rig, I'm just thinking I may need something beefier for the camera as I want this to last and not struggle with the XYZ axis.
I'm just waiting for money to come in too. Same old story once an idea pops into your head it's a nightmare not creating it.
It will mean I can offer more in the product videography work im doing for my new business.
The machine you have made is very cool. I'm just wondering about backlash and how to minimise this.
I used aluminum on my second CNC. No welding. Just several dozen tapped holes. It’s nice that way too in case I want to remove and upgrade some portion so I don’t get stuck grinding apart weld joints.
Thats awesome, hopefully i won't be moving mine anytime soon, because its near 1000lbs, and i would have to do just that, cut the frame apart....Thanks for watching!!
Great video Brad, but I’m afraid one of those is above my pay grade, haha....Keep up the good work! 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you and thanks for watching!!
Thank you. If you set your gantry on edge, you would eliminate one steel 1" x 3". Would there be a need for the 4th motor?
I would still have built the gantry the same way with 2 pieces of 1 x 3 attached at each end and put the linear rails on each piece of 1x3, just turned up on its side...yes there would still be 4 motors...1 on x axis, 2 on y axis and 1 on z axis...there are many systems with only 1 motor on the y axis.....Thanks for watching!!
Hello !
Thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss....!
...........
You did this video after my query....!
...
Mr. You are great...
....
you are a soul...
....
You are Man...
....
You are caring...
...
So nice.................!
........
May God Bless His Blessings on you..!
I hope it helps!!! Just shoot me a msg if you have any questions!! Thanks for watching!!
Do you by chance have any plans drawn out on in say Sketchup for this table? What about a parts list? Awesome videos, very inspiring.
I don't have any plans, and as for a parts list....look in the description there are links for the parts of the table...Thanks for watching
I think I'm going to build one from your parts list on your videos. Some minor changes in design. You have rectangular tube for the gantry. I'm going to stand mine up and use heavy wall angle iron to connect rectangular tube to table guide rails. This eliminates the angle at the Z head and eliminates the aluminum plate at each end of the gantry. You can mount the X axis bearings directly to the back of the Z axis assembly. The bearings do better with a side push or a down force than they do with a up pull. More a personal preference thing maybe.
No that makes perfect sense....A heavy angle iron I think will work great...The main reason I went with the rectangular tubing, I literally had it all laying around from some Rv and Boat storage buildings I had built a few years before I built the CNC...I was trying to cut cost where I could....Thanks for watching!!
Hey i plan on a similar build like this. About 6' x 6'. Steel gantry. Want to do 3d relief carving in hardwood. Do you think nema 23 motors would be enough or would you recommend nema 34?
Right off I'm going to say you can't go wrong with nema 34's, I think it is probably more power than needed, but you would tax the larger motor less and with the extra 2 ft of travel you sure won't regret the speed it provides when you are just moving the spindle into position. I have not once had any regret in buying the larger motors.....Thanks for watching!
There's a new kid in town, already found in the werks, EPOXY GRANITE CASTINGS... some embed metalworks and fasteners within... methinks an excellent adventure in discovery ahead.... perhaps rockdust and cement/mortar powders are equivalent ??
???? Thanks for watching!!
How do you think your CNC table would do cutting acrylic sheets up to 1” thick?
I haven't ever tried acrylic, my fear would be melting on something that thick because of multiple passes.....Thanks fro watching!!
Using those rails, can/should you mount them vertically for the gantry? I'm purchasing the 1500 rails you suggested in your descriptions from other videos, I was just wondering if they are designed for being mounted that way.
You have me a bit confused.....Are you talking about when I suggest turning the gantry on its side putting the rails sticking out to the side?
@@SmokeysCNCWoodworks yes, I was wondering with all the weight, would that orientation be stiff/strong enough?
@@strikermed MMMM....got to admit that would be a bit of a gamble...I was just looking at increased cutting area...again my design just came from my head after researching for several months...I think the motors could handle it, but can't tell you 100% that it would work perfectly
What is the measurement for the 3x3 post? It looks like 48in
That is one measurement i don't remember off the top of my head...shoot me a email and I'll measure it when i get back out to the shop...smokeyscnc@gmail.com...thanks for watching!!!
I have enjoyed these videos, and would like to know the distance between MDF on your table top to the bottom of your gantry
Please
Ok I see what your saying.....we are fixing to be getting some severe weather, tornados, possible baseball size hail and 70-80mph winds...so I may not make it out there to measure tonight but I will surely look tomorrow...Thanks for watching!!
Ok from the bottom of the Gantry to the top of my table (MDF) ...10 5/8"...
Don't be afraid of aluminum welding. I could give you a few pointers to get you hooked.
Lol...I'm not afraid of doing it just never had the need or chance to try it, i'd like to though, Thanks for watching!!
Very nice machine,have you considered closing your railways and ballscrews preventing dust from falling on them and clogging them?just a thought
No i haven't, I keep them coated with lithium grease...after it dries i don't have much of problem with dust sticking to them to bad....Thanks for watching!!
Boy I wish I had one of them but the Wife say I have more than enough things in the fire, nice Video!!!!!🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒
Lol.....It is time consuming, building it and running it....I'm out there a lot...Thanks for watching!!
What do you think your total cost was?
Should have been about $2800, but since i had a wiring mishap and fried a vfd and spindle it was around $3200
I'll just have you cut out anything I need instead of building a machine! lol
It would be the a lot easier, it was a process....Thanks for watching!!
Agreed with Arms Family. So are you open to addition side works?
Great video, I have watched the other videos that you have made, enjoyed those too, if you don't mind, do you have a email address so I can contact you regarding your cnc work etc? Appreciate it, Regards, Michael
Thank you and thanks for watching!! ps for some reason your comment got marked as spam by RUclips
Looks good. Did you get my email?
No I didn't? I just went and looked through all my emails and nothing there from you...smokeyscnc@gmail.com....give it another try if it doesn't get here i'll try sending you one....Thanks for watching!!
Just responded to yours! Thanks!
What Daniel said. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol....It would be easier I'm sure!!! Thanks for watching
