Great video. I might need to binge this channel next year. My mom needs a new kitchen, but prices have gone through the roof, so the only way it's going to be affordable is if I can do a lot of the work myself. Time is the main challenge, and CNC routing might be the partial solution.
Great video! I grew up in a cabinet-maker's home. The business my dad owned had a CNC machine that cost around $250,000 at the time. Now the price/size has come down enough, I'm thinking about getting one in my garage haha.
Sorry for the late reply as we are in the process of moving the shop. It’s amazing even in the last few years how much the price has come down on CNC’s. Thanks for watching.
awesome video ...surprising how useful even a homebuilt cnc could be ..even at an hour a sheet when you factor how much handling you reduce through all the subsequent steps its really a force multiplier for the shop. Between that and the edgebander set up, really an affordable set up to be competitive cabinet shop.
Great job. Perhaps you can do a video on how you made the homemade cnc step by step. I'm also curious how much it costs roughly to make one from stratch 🤔
I have. I'm not sure everyone would think like I do when it comes to the actual build/design. There are still some bugs here and there that I keep finding. Nothing terrible, just annoying. The more I use them the better they get.
@@patcummer I would probably just put them on my Etsy page and sell from there. My issue being I don't want to be a software company that has to support the files.

super interesting video, but seeing that nail come out the side at 8:46 hurt like watching someone get kicked in the tender parts, because it has happened to me so many times 🤣 is there no better way to do assembly? after all that time and expense to get to that stage, and it kind of got ruined, or am I just being a perfectionist? what do you do you recommend?
That nail came out of the bottom which is under the cabinet and won't be seen. The nail is only to hold it in place once I get it in position and I always angle the nail to make sure if it gets exposed, it comes out on a non visible area. You don't even have to use the nail, it's just for convenience. Perfectionists make the best woodworkers. If I have a "shiner" in an exposed area I will go as far as to make a new part if I can't fix it.
Hey, would you let me know what cnc machine should I buy if I want to make cabinets at the hobby level. For my house, I have to build cabinets for two kitchens, a few bathrooms, and closets for bedrooms....
That's a loaded question for several reasons.Buying a cnc for just one house of cabinets isn't cost effective. So much depends on your budget. That's why I built my own cnc. At the minimum you would need a 4'X8' to accommodate full sheets of sheet goods. I wouldn't buy a cnc to do one job. If I had a decent budget I would get a cnc with a tool changer and vacuum hold down with at least a 5hp 3 phase router.
As far as the actual CNC, I built it myself. The actual router is a Porter Cable, but I have a 2200W spindle which I'm preparing to change out to. My software for my CNC is Mach 4.
@@richardarcher5789 No I'm in Arizona. I do have a whole series of videos on how I built it. They were my first videos, so the quality is not as good as what I'm doing now.
Hey buddy. Thx for the vid. I'm having a major headache with my cnc. I'm cutting mdf boards for kitchen cabinets and most of the time, like 8 out of 10 cuts, the laminate chips off from where the bit enters and a lot of times where the ramps end and inbetween. I use mostly 6 and 8 millimeter downcut bits. I've tried to avoid the ramps, but it chips off the laminate from the other side. I've also tried different entry points and that didn't help. My feed rates are around 3k/min and plunge rates are a little less. I'm using aspire for modeling and mach 4 hobby for g code. The cnc machine has some years on it, but I don't want to jump to that conclusion yet. Could you give some advice on that or maybe direct to an honest forum? I think I have about three weeks until I'm sacked.
I will admit that I use all the defaults on ramps and feed ins and it works fine for me, so I'm not very good with ramp and lead-in speeds. Are you using a down cut bit? If you want both sides to avoid chipping while you cut full thickness, you'll more than likely need a compression bit. I'm not an expert, but I think I would avoid ramping and start my feed from outside my cut. As we speak I'm cutting melamine and the chipping is driving me nuts. The forums I have had the most luck are www.cnczone.com and www.machsupport.com.
Hi, I'm trying to learn the cabinetry business as I'm planning to start kitchens/ cabinets making business. I still need to learn a lot. I am thinking to buy cnc saw cutting/ nesting machine, banding machine and cnc for drilling. I am thinking to produce the cabinet doors and use laminated particle wood. My question which is better for precision of cutting/ neat edge without breaking the hpl laminate. Do you recommend a cnc saw or cnc router for cutting.
@@OldGuyWoodworks thank you for your prompt response and sharing your know how. Actually, I noticed the cut of cabinet doors made of laminated particle wood were not neat. Although the banding machine has a tool to improve the cut finish before banding but still u could notice the hpl/ formica breaking. I believe they use table saw cnc (sizing/ cutting cnc)
Thanks for the video! I bought your Fusion 360 from Etsy. I have also built my own CNC (can't do homing yet) and learning each day 🙂. I have a basic question - As 3 different bit sizes are intended for this cabinet build, there are three different G-code files being generated from CAM in Fusion 360. When I attempted to click on the Setup node in CAM and then generate G-code it mentioned Fusion 360 free version doesn't support Tooling Changes. My question is, how do you generate the G-codes? One for each drill bit operation (If so, does the CNC orient properly upon loading each file?) or do you have the paid Fusions 360 version and does it generate a single G-code file for all the operations (pre-drilling, dados, and cutouts)?
I create a separate file for each tool. When I first set up my cnc I create my home for the X and Y axis. The Z axis is set each time I change operations.
I do face frame from time to time and do all my own finishing. I use white lacquer quite a bit, but lately it's hard to get. I have a few videos of my weathered sand through finish.
Dude, I love your video, is just great! I was wondering if you would share some source codes for the cabinets you made. Your work looks awesome and I am a beginner, I wouldn’t know where to start. I just bought a vertical cnc, M2 from Maker made, and I almost finished the assembling. It can handle a full sheet of plywood, at once. Hopefully, it will be up and ready shortly, and with some codes I can start creating 🙂
Loved the video. Would love to build my own CNC machine. Couple of questions for you. 1. Do you have a video showing your CNC build? 2. Why don't you make your own cabinet doors and drawers instead of ordering from somewhere else?
I have a whole series on my cnc b uild Start here: ruclips.net/video/97CVaJHTYhM/видео.html. If I have just a couple doors or drawers, I build them myself. It isn't time or cost effective for me to build my own drawers or doors otherwise. The vendors I use specialize in doors or drawers and do a much better job that what I can do in my shop.
@@zoritongogaro711 They are in Southern California. If you are not nearby the shipping will probably be cost prohibitive. I get both from Ideal Drawer in Huntington Beach, CA. He doesn't make the doors, but has a vendor he uses.
Your 1/8" endmill looked burnt. A better alternative when drilling all your different sizes of holes would be to use drill bits meant for CNCs. I just bought an industrial 1/4" drill bit with shank adapter for my Axiom 2' x 4' CNC, so I can drill dowel holes in my projects. I think I'll be getting a 5mm bit and adapter next.
Cutting speed varies from tool to tool. My 3/8" diameter end mill cuts nicely at about 40 ipm. My router isn't strong enough to cut any faster without some chatter.
@@OldGuyWoodworks this would be my first cnc (Artisan 408 4x8) just trying to compare yours and something like that 408 so I can make cabinets with it.
Amazing video. I was wondering how much time and effort to package (wrap and box) the assembled cabinets for delivery to the site? Or is there a 3rd party company that does that?
You were watching the delivery guy. The job was close by. i just put them in the back of my truck and hauled them over there. I don't take the boxes with doors mounted. The doors get loaded flat between blankets.
