TTC450 CNC Router & Woodworking Black Walnut Not Wood Turning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 май 2023
- I was sent a CNC router to test out. I think having me test it out lets them see what they might have to do to improve the machine to make it better.
I did some pretty cool things with it and it did a decent job on what I tried.
I used Black Walnut, Cherry and Maple to make some cool things.

Thank you very much. Just a few minor things and I am sure they will all be fixed up. All in all it is a great machine.
@@ThePapa1947 You're welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying the machine despite a few minor issues. I'm confident you'll be able to fix them quickly. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance or have any questions. I'm always here to help!
@@Twotrees3Dofficial it would be nice to have one of those guards that you redesigned. I milled mine but it needs more and takes a lot of work to smooth it out so there are no sharp edges.
ThePapa1947 is what you wrote...I actually knew as soon as the T was started. What a cool machine! I spent most of my day cleaning and rearranging my workshop in the garage after the winter .
Thanks Carol. Wow I need to straighten up my shop as well. Just had a lot of things going on that were more important.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
THANK YOU for ushering your audience into a wider world of woodworking. It is like the step change from hand tools to power tools. The new doesn't invalidate or obsolete the old, but rather opens the door into a new world. Now Gary, lets see how you (we) incorporate this change into our woodworkmanship.
p.s. And yes, I guessed your tag on the sign when it started carving the "H"
Thank you very much Jeff. Years and years ago pattern makers did not have the modern tools and machines I used as a pattern maker.
I was still making patterns but with machines that fit the job perfectly. As I got close to retirement changes were taking place again and CNC is now doing the things I did and loved.
Sometimes it is hard to accept new changes but they can make things easier.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, I love this kind of stuff. I can’t afford to buy it, but I can live vicariously through your videos! Seriously, it’s very cool. As soon as I saw the “T” I knew what you were printing/carving. Keep ‘em coming! Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick. I was sure it was a give away on what I was engraving but decided to make it interesting.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Wish I had the space for a CNC its really a great machine opens the horizons and takes wood turning to a higher level
Thanks for Sharing Gary
All the best
Yiannis
Thank you. It sure can be handy but it room is getting scarce here as well.
Take care,
Gary
Yep The horizontal member of the “T” I guessed correctly. Thanks for the good videos and techniques
Thank you Ted. I figured it would be easy enough to see.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice machine. It looks like it will keep you busy in your spare time. I expect we will all seea lot more of that machine.
Thank you very much Tim. It seems my spare time is not very much anymore. But this will be used to make some carvings for gifts for sure.
Take care,
Gary
The perfect new tool for you, Gary! It's great it will do what you need and take less space than the Jet. I'm sure you will enjoy using it for years to come! Very good, interesting video, my friend! 😃
Phil
Thank you Phil. It certainly does not have the power of the JET but it has much longer work area in the Y axis. The fact of it is the JET does not get much use now. It seems like a work shop never gets bigger but it sure seems to get smaller LOL.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 So true, Gary. We fill the space we have.
that was a great presentation on the uses of your new CNC and the result s were pretty impressive, well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thank you very much Al and thanks for watching,
Gary
Good info Gary. Love the things you cut out!!
Thank you very much Laura!
Hi Gary
Great video, I have a Workbee 1500 x 1500 myself and what a great machine. Guessed the sign as soon as I saw the T.
Thank you Jim. That is a nice size machine for sure. Pretty easy guess I suppose 😀
Now that, would be a handy machine! Love that! I thought you wrote Psalm 19:47 but 19 only has 14 verses!
Thank you Chris and it is very handy. When I think of it maybe I will make a plaque like that. Years ago parts of that Psalm were oh so true.
Take care,
Gary
Very nice CNC Gary and it does a great job.
I did guess on the T what it would be.
Great review my friend and it's nice to hear the company was open to your thoughts about it.
Take care my friend.
Hwyl, Huw
Thank you Huw. So when I emailed them about the issues they were very apologetic and said to mention it in the video if I wanted.
I feel that doing these videos and advantage for them to work the bugs out of a new product as much as getting sales.
It is like doing some Beta testing to work the kinks out. I mentioned doing that for the Mach 2 and 3. I found many bugs and also had a number of suggestions which they added to the software.
Hwyl,
Gary
Guessed it on the 'T' ... but seemed obvious what it was going to be 😁...... nice little aside from the usual turning videos ... seeing perfection time after time can get boring 😂
I'll hopefully be building my own CNC milling machine this year, albeit a bit bigger ..... the plan is to be able to do a 4ft wide sheet, with pass through so that I can do a full 8' by 4' sheet in a few passes. I bought a spindle a few years back and focused on the collet size (ER20) ... needless to say when a 5kg spindle arrived I realised I should maybe have checked the weight as well ... I'll just need to make a slightly sturdier machine 😁
Thanks so much Barry. This Friday will be kind of different as well and I explain why.
So I was going to build a much bigger and heavier CNC router but again a space for it was not going to happen. I know that my big milling machines are taking up a lot of space. The Bridgeport gets a decent size in X but only 12 inches in the Y. That machine has produced a lot of metal parts for my son's race car as well as other replacement parts for cars and even a new Reeves drive for a Delta lathe that you could not get the parts for. Very handy and i mostly use it for making wood carvings for gifts.
Have fun building your CNC and would love to hear how it goes.
Gary
Hi Gary, how are you, I guessed what was going to be on the piece of wood as soon as I saw the letter " t ", take care and stay safe x
Thanks so much Sue...yes I suppose it was pretty easy for someone watching close. Happy you guessed it.
Take care,
Gary
Hello Gary ....just popped in to say hello and that the ttc450 cnc router doesn't seem a bad price and once the few wrinkles have been ironed out ,It could be a good investment. Cheers and take care Bram
Thank you very much Bram. Good to see you back and hope you will be able to turn soon. Love watching your channel.
Cheers,
Gary
Noce to see some machine work. I have not yet looked into this type of machine so I enjoyed your video. Thanks for the pro's & con's
BTW - Yes, I guessed when the third letter looked like a "P: and not an "E" or "k"
Thank you my friend. It was a fairly easy guess. Maybe I should have hidden the engraving part LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
the design on the maple/walnut may look cool as the lid for a box
Thank you Byron and I was thinking the same thing.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Pretty impressive detail retention. I could see using a CNC or laser burner. Maybe when the next thing comes along a few good used ones will show up for sale.
Thank you Jay. I think you are right. As fast as they make changes to these and how people like to upgrade I think you could find about what you wanted at a good price.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I did geuss as you started the first letter
Thank you Neil...I guess it was just too easy LOL
I see ThePapa1947
Very good Kathleen. I knew what it said and could hardly read it while it was being made.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
How useful would this equipment be without all the software you already had on hand? I'm thinking hard about some buying some sort of data-driven tool. I can't really decide to go with a CNC router, laser or 3D printer. Three very different technologies, but all heavily reliant on software.
I have had the software for years. There are some free that can be used. I have designed parts in tinker cad as well.
It all depends on what you want to make.
I have made some very useful things with 3D printers as well.
Looks like it has a lot of uses. I wonder, is there some way that you could have a hole in the table to place a bowl under to engrave your logo or name or whatever you wanted on the bottom of your bowl?
Thank you Sam. Yes you could have a hole in the table . I think making some rails you could fasten to the work bench where the machine would be sitting on. Just running along the sides should do it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Spindle of what power? can you handle it?
The spindle on this machine is 500 watt. Compared to my 3hp Bridgeport that is nothing.
That said this will do the job but not take real big cuts.
Do you have any videos of unboxing and installing
I’m having issues with installing the back bracket on the spindle
I do not but what is the issue maybe I can help. Perhaps a picture would help.
I’m trying to install the bracket that attaches to the back of the spindle
@@jim6402 I will take a picture if it helps.
@@ThePapa1947 ok sounds good thank you so much
@@jim6402 ruclips.net/video/P3QToopLiu4/видео.html
Try this I think it shows what you need.
What is your "go to" software? Thank You
My preference when I can I use Bobcad but then I need to send the file the program it uderstands.
I should do a trial run on the TTC450 CNC machine, the text that should be engraved. However, I have a problem when I let the machine do the process. It does not actually touch the bottom of the tree on which it is supposed to work, although I went to the Z test several times to adjust the height, however, the machine does not work correctly for me, it works non-stop in the air and non-stop returns up instead of down. How can I regulate so that this does not happen to me, so that it starts working normally. I don't know if it's not a problem in the Candle settings. I use machine dimensions 460x460.
It is really hard to tell without seeing more information.
It does sound like you do not have the Z set correctly.
If you would like to email me and send the file you are working with I think I could figure out what is wrong.
You can find my email in my About Page.
Just add TTC450 in the Subject line
Gary
Hello my friend! You shouldn't cut that decorative cover for wires. I think i found simple solution for that. I just opened 2 plastic sections, in that way wires will be right back from that stand. Hope you can understand what im trying to explaine )) My english is not perfect) watch my rewiew from 14:16 ruclips.net/video/H3M3EeRp0mk/видео.html
Thank you very much for your idea. I see how that could work. The fact I already cut some this would really help with what I did.
Two Trees is now making a cover with lots of room.
Thanks again for your tip,
Gary
Большое спасибо за вашу идею. Я вижу, как это может работать. Тот факт, что я уже вырезал некоторые из них, действительно поможет в том, что я сделал.
Two Trees сейчас делают обложку с большим количеством места.
Еще раз спасибо за ваш совет,
Гэри
Do you have a problem with a white not responding screen? or it just me...
I am not sure what you mean about a white screen not responding.
@@ThePapa1947 on my TTC450 screen becomes blank after a while and stops responding to touches if I don't touch it... but g-code keep working...
So the touch screen is going blank. I have not seen that but I use my laptop a lot.
How long does it go before it does go blank? Perhaps there is a setting for that. i will check and see and also do some research on it. Have you gotten ahold of Two Trees on this isuue?
@@ThePapa1947 screen goes blank only when run g-code from sd card. From PC all fine
How are able to do all of that with that machine. I have had my TTC450 for about two months and its a struggle to get it to do anything. The Two Trees support is useless. I am certain I have a controller problem. I already installed the latest firmware and still have problems with this unit. I am thinking of putting in some other control unit just so I can get some use out of it. Mechanically its a good unit for the price but the controls are useless.
The control software is not the easiest to use but it works.
But I am spoiled with using Mach3 on my milling machine.
What are your main issues?
My main issue set the Z height with the Z probe. I'll put the the probe on a piece of 3/4" wood and try to set the height. If I press the touch screen button to raise it the spindle never goes high enough to slide the probe under. The touch screen beeps with every press but it won't go up. If I try to raise it with UGS or Candle sometimes it will goes up, most time it won't. I then have to turn the Z motor by hand to raise the spindle to get clearance. Then when I press the knife button to check the height with the probe I'll get a "soft limit" error. and I'll have to hit the knife button 1 or 2 more times before I can get the Z height set. When I get a soft limit error UGS and Candle won't function and they can't clear the error. I tried disabling the soft limits in the configuration, but when I do that and start a job the spindle won't move to the starting position but instead will lower and bury the bit into the work piece until it bottoms out. I have other problems as I am unable to complete an engraving unless it is run off a memory card on the touch screen. If I use UGS or Candle it will freeze during the job. I'll have figure that one out later. Any way you can help I would appreciate. I'm thinking or removing the controller and buying an Open Builds BlackBox Motion Control to replace it with, but that an additional expenditure i would rather not make.@@ThePapa1947
какие параметры для резки?
18,125 дюймовX18,125 дюймов
И 3,14 дюйма в высоту.
Надеюсь, это то, что вы спрашиваете.
Гэри
Metric is scary? LOL :D
Not at all. Either is imperial which I got pretty good at.
But I've been using it for many years.
I did use some metric at work.
We needed to buy special shrink rules though.
Its junk my screws where loose also all over the place , the drag chain is crap. O not to mention i reached out to them and customer service is non existent. Buy at your own risk
I had loose screws on this and they got right back to me. I can not compare this to any other entry level machine but compared to my full sized Bridgeport CNC it is just not fair.
If you just got it I bet you could send it back,
Best of luck
@@ThePapa1947 nope their telling me to get into with after sales and their not communicating back.
That is kind of sad. When did you buy it?
And where did you buy it?
@@ThePapa1947 had it since May ordered the upgraded spindle. But it's all good . I can get a crappy product and great customer service. I would have been happy. But bad customer support is where I draw the line.
I know what you mean. Were you dealing with Two Trees or another source that sold it?
