Buenas noches 4 años después
Aún puedes fabricar y vender un CCN
ah it's still trash, even 4 years later. lovely
?@@brewtalityk
people like you who not only put in the time and effort to make something like this, but also show others how they can do it themselves, are the kind of people this world needs. thanks man
It's quiet, it really blows, it's elegant looking, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxmj9RYGCX25BElHkuWjHec-2_muyUGyCm remote is handy. Not too difficult to assemble (see below)The assembly instructions left out a few tips, IMHO (see photo for my tips)Oh, and be patient when you attach the cage halves together (last step). You might want to loosen the screw just a little bit before you start. It's awkward (don't drop it!), but you'll get it.
This is the Gold Standard for a DIY build video. Just the info needed, no annoying music, good lighting, good camera angles, explanation of the circuits including SAFETY, software configuration. start to finish. All that on top of an excellent build.
I used to work for a company manufacturing industrial CNC's, the amount of work that went into one was staggering and what they could produce never ceased to amaze me. Well done on your build.
I don’t know how long this took you, but I think that this is the best Woodworking build video I have ever seen. No seriously! The video, the narration and the explanation and circuit diagram are exceptional.
Thanks david. It was a labour of love.
I totally agree. This video has inspired me to build a similar item.
I agree. The best video I have seen on woodwork/cnc topic. Thanks
Totally agree!
You aren’t kidding.....now I have to go do all the rest of you videos.....great project and performance!
As am Emmy award winning video editor for 50 years I want to commend you on a great job in editing. I always say 90% of edits are cuts and dissolves not fancy wipes or special effects. One thing I look for is quality audio as well. Your v/o were clear and background audio was kept low. Your lighting and closeups were on point as well. Setting up cameras and such is a pain when u are trying to accomplish a build, the effort was noticeable. I know this edit took a lot of time as well the actual build itself.
Just wanted to acknowledge the extreme effort on your part. It was an enjoyable view.
I subscribed
@@VoiceofDissent I think he did a good job in both respects, the build and the production value
@@VoiceofDissent Can confirm no production crew , just a labour of love with hours and hours of editing
he had help from the little fella
@@rty1955 Ditto. This is outstanding work on both sides. This guy's got some major skills. Would love to see videos of the CNC in action.
High praise indeed.
You sir ROCK in a pretty serious way. I fell in love with CNC carving a few years ago after and built my first CNC (all metal 16" x 18" x 5") but have been planning a bigger model build for a couple years. This video has gotten so many wheels turning in my head. Thank you so much for sharing. Rob in NB, CA
This is pretty much perfect in terms of the balance between showing what needs to be shown but not wasting anyone's time. One of the best build videos I've seen. Cheers
I was watching this and thought to myself "wow.. this guy has produced a really good video tutorial"... and then I discover nearly everyone is making the same comments. I have to say you are one intelligent dude!
Anyone who is thinking of doing a DIY video should watch this one first to see how it really should be done. Really a professional grade video
PERFECTION! Nothing to add. I appreciate the lack of noise, the presence of local sounds, no music or unnecessary talk. If I make videos, you will be my compass.
Hear Hear well done
I second that emotion.
Okay, I like that song but I don't want to hear it while watching a build video. Good comment. I wish more videos were like this.
I love the fast editing. No waffle, keeps it interesting and down to the essentials. Packs a lot into 1h without getting a yawn. A real change from a lot of people who seem more interested in being a star than communicating useful info. Great video. Thanks.
Exactly, every moment is edited perfectly, slowing down at the start of something to show what is being done, then speeding it up as he narrates. I'm the type of person that is always looking out for how things could be better, and i have nothing to say for improvements :)
I watch all my vids in 1.5 speed anyways too. I've been way more efficient at content cramming, if I could understand language easily at 2x I would.
OUTSTANDING! . . . . At a time when every thing seems to done in a sloopy unprofessional manner, here comes DIY Builds and shows how a Master Craftsman works, flawlessly, A joy to watch and listen to. THANK YOU , , , , ,
Nothing to Say Just You are the Best i have never seen a Clean & A Professional Wood working Job Like this Good One
My teacher of the day!
Such a long video is possible only with meticulous planning. Your efforts to show case your talent and teach others are beyond appreciation.
You are a perfectionist!
You are my new woodworking hero! I have been drooling over CNCs for a while and I could never justify the cost, to my husband. This is impressive and I know it added a ton of time just trying to make the video. Thank you! Halfway through I thought, "I bet I can add a dust collection system to it when it's done". No need, you though of everything! When I am ready to start building and download the plans/cost breakdown, I will buy a weeks worth or t-shirts from your site and a sticker to adorn the CNC.
Gotta love people with ingenuity. This is an awesome project.
Respect that you do something and follow through.
Very impressed. Thanks alot for sharing.
Godbless udosomethingtothe craftsmen
Out of all the videos i have ever watched about how to make something and i've watched thousands of videos about different subjects this is by far the best ever one i have ever watched.
Thank for taking the time to make it and share it with us all as that will not only help me but lots of others.
I watched all of it in one go minus the adverts were i took a break and really enjoyed it
Maximum respect to you sir! Excellent work and production - I don't need a CNC, but now I feel like building this one.
This video paid for about 16 CNC machines, and he deserves every penny X 10. This is an amazing build and he shows us all what you can do with plywood, a lot of glue and screws and a whole lot of labor. It had to have taken forever.... months, at least to build this.
I built my own CNC, it took over a year! I would have liked to have seen this before I built that one 6 years ago-great video and very complete. Great Job. Using 4 motors gives it more accuracy- wish mine had that . I have since bought a Maverick CNC, but building my own really helped me understand CNC. Take your time and make it right - you won't regret it.
Build my own too and those videos help to understand tech details
Super sir
Detailed, concise and easy to follow in conjunction with the drawings.. Very well done. Looks like a 200 hour project with a basic understanding of woodworking, electrical and CNC programming along with a reasonably well equipped workshop. I must admit it never occurred to me DIN rail could be used for such an application. Very well done.
Everything the can be said about this are already in the comments. I can only agree- this is one of the best videos ever on RUclips. Thank you!
ruclips.net/video/S0Hce1cKn_8/видео.html
I've had to watch this video about 10 times from start to finish. No video has shown me so many tips and tricks for quality woodworking than this one. I'll certainly be watching it again.
Awesome
Amazing !!!
I study cnc programming at college and was cnc milling machinist with up to 40 to 120 automatic tool magazine once upon a time long ago ....... even involved with airplane body molding project in front of pilot that was on a rail with 3 axis ......... but I couldn't imagine $900 cnc machine home made ! This is most important video to me. Good job .!..!...!.......
Truly a DIY project from scratch to finish. Thank you for the work you've done to help the community feel smarter understanding what it takes. Good job! Amazing video! Clear and professional presentation in my opinion.
The best professional video in a decades! Not sure if I want to invest on all the material and then machines to make it, But man is 1:23 am and this guy just kept me awake. Just to perfection, you nail it!
Video and instructions, very well done! I've viewed several videos on CNC builds. This is right at the top of my list.
I tend to over analyze everything I do. I purchased the electronics almost two years ago and have yet to build. I think it's about time now.
I think this might be the best DIY CNC router build/tutorial I have ever seen. Nicely done, my hats off to you.
This video is what makes RUclips and internet teaching great I could not agree more with all the compliments keep up the great work.
Just as everyone has already said, if anybody is ever going to make a tutorial video then they should watch and pay very close attention to this one.
I wish I'd seen this a couple of years ago because now I want my own CNC machine. I have the space for a 4x8 footer but really wouldn't use half of it. Now its just a matter of saving my pennies! Although it'll take me several times of rewatching this video for reference to complete. I'm not electronic literate so that may take awhile itself. I'm glad you walked me through that part, the little helper did an awesome job as well! Thanks again!
The video editing was done as well as the machine that was built; LOVE it! It takes him hours to film, but minutes for us to watch.
This video is my favorit for woodworking! Respect for labor you put into making this detailed DIY video.
Go ahead dude !
Great video and build. I found the entire video very interesting. I will have to watch this a few more times to capture all the details. Thank you for posting this video. Your quoted price to considerably less that purchasing a production model. Great Stuff!
Dude, You're A True Legend! Your project helped a lot, especially during this pandemic times.
In addition to the larger concepts, your clever methods for handling the more incidental details are brilliant in their own rite.
This is the best video ever. The way you explain everything. Giving us details on everything. You could build anything in your workshop. This is beyond anything I could build. But your video makes me think I can. You sir have a new subscriber. I’m speechless on this video. Thank you for posting this video. Awesomeness hands down.
My Father used to say that OVERKILL is underrated.... I Like your style good sir! and a tip of the hat from my late father! Good Work!
This video motivated me 3 years ago to build my own cnc machine and made a video of the building proces in order to continue the chain of mativation here in Perú. Big thanks!
This guy knows how to teach! He knows what's important and knows how to edit and speed through the rest.
And how to do fun.
This is the best DIY tutorial video I have ever watched!!! Thanks! I feel like I might actually be able to build this!
Congratulations, it was the most complete and well done CNC I've ever seen on RUclips.
Parts = Under $900; Skills and labor = $200,000 Exceptional video! I enjoyed it immensely.
You did an amazing job with this project. Thank you for taking the time to show us the process. The diagram explanation was great. Wow 😎
BRAVO, The most impressive video I've seen. Concise and to the point, not one wasted word. Exceptional!
Dude! Totally awesome video. This obviously took some time to make and the outcome was amazing. Thanks for taking the time to create and post. Your very talented. Wow!!!
Impressive design and knowledge of putting this altogether! Very well done fella! Thanks for sharing the time invested in this to us all.
What you accomplished is simply amazing in and of itself. However, to go the extra steps, teaching us in such a meticulous manner, how crystal clear the narration is, coupled with the accompanying documentation....is beyond amazing. Great work bro, incredibly impressive....
Thank you.
You can’t buy this kind of education from any University! Crazy talented fella!! Thank You
I just wanna thank you, i always thought making a cnc router would be way above my abilities. After watching this tho i ordered the parts within a week, thanks again :)
How did it go?
@@xxxenricop about how you would expect, lots of mistakes and fiddling with software. But she runs very well after a few months of learning and some physical adjustments :)
"pretty good" construction shows results that are "pretty good" Perfect is the enemy of doing anything... thanks for making this project it really invites beginners to the hobby
Your helper has literally a lethal smile... All concentration has irrecoverably been altered by the unprecedented cuteness factor :)
cuddle the little angel for us too :)
This is amazing! You did such an impressive job with both the CNC machine and documenting the process of its creation in video. Oh, and your little helper is adorable!
Stumbled upon this video and watched it all the way through. Very well put together and I totally appreciate the effort you put into making it. Because of that, I have subscribed to your channel.
Just amazing! after doing a research on how to build my own CNC, yours is just the best out of all. Well explained from A to Z now I hope to get all the required part to start with the proyect. I hope you dont mind if I reach out to you for advice once I start building mine. Just want to thank you for sharing your labour of love like you said, be blessed!
I really enjoyed your build. I'm looking at several cnc projects and like that this one is large, perfect for the projects I'm planning. Great job!!!
Sir, I take my hat off to you, you are a brilliant young man. That was the best video I have ever seen. Your voice is perfect along with your explanation and film. I must admit your patience was also admireable. Good luck and thank you.
Yep, I second this!!
This video was awesome, I enjoyed every minute of it. I really like how you speed up the most tedious parts of the video. It made those moments enjoyable too. The baby was an adorable touch. What Scrooge would give this video a thumbs down I don't know.
that helper made the whole build work, also 100% love this video and plan on building my own copy of this once lumber prices settle down a bit. Thank you for doing this :)
Great job buddy! Watched this here in Ireland tonight and glad i did, you highly skilled and must be electrically biased like myself as you knew your way round the I/O controls.
Thanks for sharing, I will hopefully get to Canada in the fall, I go there most years to fish. Great place and great people,
I know this video is old but I'm in the process of building a cnc router and this design was the best for my level and budget. If I could like this video twice I would. Thank you for the great content!
how is your build going??
@@ToddMoore1 still working on it but it's going well. I have a ton of other projects going on at the same time.
You can, just make a fake google account.
@@JohnWilliams-hn3wn Did you finish your cnc router?
$900 of material...and priceless labour ...extremely informative video sir😍
Awesome video. All has already been said but I have watched most of the videos about CNC but your video on this topic is number one without competition!
Amazing, wonderful, simple and very useful ... respect and admiration for the way you think, everything you have designed and done ... you have shown that a man is capable of many if he has passion and especially you can consider yourself fulfilled as you brought the contribution for something useful and the conclusion is that you will leave something important to other people, your achievement wasted no time (the most precious thing in our lives) ... If my opinion matters, I can say that I really appreciate everything you have done ... All the best wishes and good luck in everything you do, keep it just like this ... Best regards,
Hi, I really enjoyed this video, good pics and explanation. As an entrance project into the world of CNC I think the $900 build cost was more than fair. I respect opinons from others and to be fair at this stage of my knowledge and ability I do not as yet understand half of what they said but I know I will learn as I go. I am going to have a crack at it for now and maybe add to it/make mods once I have it up and running and understand it a bit more. I loved you wiring schematic, easy to understand and this is often a part of a build that is overlooked so well done again. Many thanks for you time and effort.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm planning a CNC build, and the electronics and wiring seem to be the most difficult parts. I'm thrilled he included it because I've never seen anyone go into it in a build video. I wish I could give his video a thousand thumbs up.
more than fair lol
good cnc router costs 60k Euros

Hello, we are professionally engaged in engraving machine, I hope I can help you.
There is something extremely satisfying getting to see you brad, counter, and screw every hole.
Incredibly well done video! So many good tips / ways to do things to make things go smooth! Definitely will be referencing this video when working on projects.
Got to admit, i stumbled on this Video by accident, but ended up watching the whole thing, so interesting and well executed, now i want to make a CNC router, Thanks :)
Now I know where the majority of the cost for this project is, it's in beer! A couple hundred dollars in material, the rest in beer! You did a really good job on this! It's really impressive!!
Hi Brad. Your build gave me the courage to get started building my own CNC router table. I just wanted to post to say thanks.
I didn't hit the $900 water mark but only doubled the overall cost. I figured it's a fair trade off for a mostly steel constructed design with ball screws, linear rails and a 2.2KW Water Cooled Spindle Motor+220V/110V Inverter+80MM Clamp+Water Pump.
Gotta love Aliexpress and Amazon!
Thanks again!
i think steel is the only way to go for precision and longevity. A wood construction will not last long i think and would be prone to many issues including humidity.
I wonder why anyone would use a water cooled spindle motor? I've owned 3 CNC machines, one had water cooling. It was a PIA. Our current machine has many 1000s of hours on the 12hp air cooled spindle motor with no problems. It runs all day, everyday.
I am looking at about £1200-£1800 to make a machine, this includes enclosure out of wood, extraction system, vacuum table, filter system, you might think all that stupid on a cnc mill but looking to have it as a 2.2KW spindle and can take that off and put another head on for a CO2 laser, maybe 80 watt+ but might look at higher for one to engrave metal, looking to also get rack and pinion for better precision than belt but haven't yet learnt how someone makes that work yet, looking for 3ft by 2ft area as when in a home can't go too big
Impressive... I have used a 2D plotter cutter for making signs for many many years, and every time somebody looks amazed as it cuts a hunk of vinyl film, I tell them a cad machine does the same thing, except it does depth also. Thanks for the evening entertainment. :)
Great tutorial! I have always wanted to make a router and you have cleared up a lot of questions I have had in regards to calibration!!! Thank you for this video and I am going to watch some of your other stuff now
THIS IS INSANE!Great job my friend.
Wow, just WOW..!! Always wanted my own CNC and this video proves you don't need too much ca$h to have one!
At $900, it's dead cheap, but if you were to source used parts and maybe be a little inventive, you could knock one out at half the price!!
Thank you for sharing this great tutorial!!
What a creative process...the end wasn't short of pure innovation either.
So glued🙌
What an amazing Build !! Methinks given the ability to be able to do the programming for this it would be something I'd really enjoy taking up !
Many Many Thanks
I must say I could tell quickly this was above my skill level. That did not stop me from watching to the end. Your tutorial is so clear and concise and easy to follow. I love that you fast forwarded through the assembly. I agree you, are brilliant. And you even watched the baby. How do you keep your hands so soft? Every woman needs a guy like you.
Nothing is above your skill level. I've amazed myself when I've stopped, thought, planned, and executed. It's the planning that's the key to everything. A failure to plan is a plan to fail. This machine is no different to a desktop CNC machine you can order from Ebay. The only difference is the scale...the electronics and Gcode is identical. The difference is this guy has planned it out to a science, and looking at his garage he has all the knowledge of his tools and their capabilities. Anyone who takes their time and researches what needs doing can do this, but don't think that he just spat this out in a day. It took significant planning, tools, thought for future issues, and finally pulling the trigger. You can do this. Certain tools like a table saw would be beneficial and almost necessary for accurate cuts. I'm almost thinking of approaching my employer to let me make and use one where I work after hours as I have no room in my apartment :)))))
Your skill level goes up every time you don’t let your current skill level stop you from trying. Failure is the greatest teacher.

You are amazing brother!! I love the fact that you’ve chosen to bless us with free plans!! Very cool . Thanks ✌🏼
Great video for those of us trying to learn about CNC. Thanks!
This video is best video available for diy on youtube.
it's a really good job man, i appreciate the way you explain it, now i'm so excited to build one like this,
THANK you so much !!!
This man can build everything with wood, glue, brad nails and 2 inch screws.
Your "pockethole-drilling-device" is genius!
My new favorite video on youtube. This video made me subscribe. Went on your website and cant believe I havent seen your channel sooner. I love this design and quality of the build, great job on everything. I will be applying parts of this build to construct a plasma table. Thanks.
Thats the best video I've ever seen. There is so much detail and no questions at the end.
Thank you for an awesome video.
Super-helpful video, especially the bit on the driver hardware and computer set up and the explanation of the wiring diagram. For someone looking to do a diy CNC build, this answered a lot of questions. Thank you!
Incredibly impressive video. Well done!!!
From a DIY viewpoint this looks like a worthwhile project! From a trades instructor point of view this is an excellent tutorial!
Beutiful work!
Even the fact you are able to cut wood this precizsely
Is testament to your skill level
Thank you for teaching me something today
May the rest of your life, be as excellent
As the workmanship you have just displayed
The greatest diy built I've ever seen in my life. So interesting and amazing. God bless you.👏👏🙏🙏
This video made me a subscriber. One of the best I've seen. Inspires me to make my own. I checked the DIY Builds website and downloaded the plans. Together with this video it may be a possibility. Thanks for posting.
This was an amazing video. It makes we want to build one myself even though I don't need it. I would love to see it at work on a complex project.
So comprehensive and integrated , easy to absorb and learn ,specially for beginner like me. thank you bro. for your kindness to share this. GBU.
I love your cnc I wanted to build it so much. The actual woodwork I could do without much bother but as soon as you got to the electrics I was totally lost. I'm alright with electrics but this part went way over my head
Thanks for making this project !! I hope to see more big projects in the future!
DAYUM! this is super nice. Much respect for showing this. Wish I had the room to build one. Hell, looks like about Eight Hundred and Fitty went on screws lol
Great video! Very informative and helpful. If I go this route, I will definitely be using your plans and watching your video several hundred more times lol
