How you only have sub 2000 followers is a mystery to me. Everything you do is super high quality, but still with a DIY approach. Your teaching style is top notch. You include all the important stuff with out all the bla. bla. Most important off all. You are not here to show off, you are hear to teach and explain. 1000 x thank you for all the work you put into you videos.
Thank you Ole, that feedback made my day !!! I never ask to subscribe to my channel I figured if people like it they do. As of late I ask to leave me a like and I think I need to do that more often. Other than that I thought it’s just me that people might not like so they don’t subscribe … well for the moment I have enough ideas, interest and energy to keep going. Thanks again !
Thx for you comment Gerrit, I will try to put as many tips into this series as I remember. It seems I always think of something once the video is uploaded.
when you tighten or loosen the collet, hold the wrenches in your palm like a pair of pliers. you will have a lot more strength that way but don't overtighten the bit.
Funny enough I learned it the opposite way. My first introduction to machining was on a very old Deckel machine, to change the tooling you needed 2 bars about 2ft long. The best way was to find a spot so that they lined almost up with each other and then just squeeze with your hands. Especially if Hulk out the tool in that you now had to remove lol 😆
Thanks again, like the others videos you make, you tell us a lot's knowledge, i can't wait to see you talking about post processor and please tell us about formula between diameter bits and feedrate ,i think this can be interesting things for beginner like me😁
Very helpful. I built a PrintNC router a year or so ago and have used it a bit but lacked a good source of guidance to learn how to use it to its full potential. Looks like I found one :)
Recently discovered your channel from r/hobbycnc. I am learning a lot from you! Keep up the high quality videos. I am very much interested in the machine you built, I bet others are too. A series of videos on your design choices and its capabilities would be great.
Good stuff, looking forward to future ones. What double sided tape are you using to hold stock? I have been used painter's tape and super glue in the past, which always strikes me as a comedic re-invention of double-sided tape. I haven't found a good make and tackiness of double-sided yet that gets the same effect. Thanks again :)
Thank you 🙏 so on most projects I use also painters tape and CA. However there are 2 types of double sided I can recommend. A) VHB Tape by 3M. It’s used to put solar panels on RV’s with no screws. B) Spectape ST501 I used it on prototyping and it’s good as well. The advantage of CA is that it can fill a gap between both sides of the tape giving a larger contact area as double sided would do on a slightly bowed piece of stock.
I am an absolute beginner so I was excited to find this video. How do I get the download I purchased from your site to run on my machine? This video shows a little about how to set up the machine and the next video shows the same but no explanation about what file to load and how to load it or run it. I understand that every machine is different but there must be similarities between the machines that have their own controller where no computer is needed. My machine has its own processor just like yours and it has a slot to insert a micro sd card. I just don't know what file to put on the sd card and how to get it to run on my machine.
Glad to help Jimmy. So when you purchased the file there is a download button right there and you also got a confirmation email that contained the download. However these files will not run on your machine. So what controller do you have and do you have VCarve ? So what you are missing at the moment is to run the set tool path through a post processor for your machine. You need a software to do that. I use VCarve in my next examples.
Oh … the geometry is a 2D file, I have a fusion file as well (not on my webpage) I should have your email if you did a purchase let me send you the fusion file and we can go from there.
Hi, excellent video, can I ask what material the spoilboard of your CNC is made of and where did you have it made, and if it is possible to make them to measure?
Please have a look at my playlist. All the different spoilboards I use I made a video for. So the plate on the machine is aluminum with M8 holes and it is 5/8” or 16mm. The white plate you see me use in some videos is POM and the woods looking one is MDF 3/4” or 19mm thick. Hope this helps.
Hello sir thank u for the video. I watched all ur video I appreciate u taking time to share ur knowledge . One q. Do u use aspire pro for machining aluminium? Because aspire doesn’t have the adaptive tool path
Thank you NamoCrafts ! Vcarve and Aspire are, in my opinion, a bit more towards the art side of things and Fusion 360 (that is what I use for metal) is more on the milling side of things. The CAM side for fusion is really cool though.

I'm building my own CNC router for hard metal and this channel became one of my favorites. Thanks man! :)
Thanks for your feedback and I am glad you can use my contend good luck on your build !!
You're a wonderful teacher and I thouhgly appratiated all of your videos. Thank you from Canada
Excellent !! Thank you for checking out my channel.
Wonderful idea. It will help me get started again, I seem to have forgotten a lot in the year since I last used my machine.
Thx for you comment Gerrit, I will try to put as many tips into this series as I remember. It seems I always think of something once the video is uploaded.
Exactly what I have been looking for.
Great 👍 good to have you onboard
Excellent tutorial. I’m just starting. You’ve given me confidence!
Excellent that you find value in my contend.
when you tighten or loosen the collet, hold the wrenches in your palm like a pair of pliers. you will have a lot more strength that way but don't overtighten the bit.
Yep 👍 good advise I mostly do that when I take the bit out.
I use all the time, one of my ex CNCs had low torque steppers and would move if you applied axial pressure, so I learned 1 hand clamping

Thank you Saeed, yes feeds and speeds is coming up as a topic.

Excellent David! I think that is quite a good machine you have there. And easy to upgrade too.

Thank you Ryan! I will note tour suggestion for future videos
Great useful information and tips! Thanks!
Thank you for reaching out !
Hallo, ich bin durch Zufall auf Deinen Kanal gekommen...ich hab mal ein Abo da gelassen, weil mir Die Art gefällt, wie du dein Vorhaben rüberbringst.👍
Super! Danke dir !

@@JBWorx I am using fusion 360, rather trying to use fusion 360.

Great video, and what spindel rpm did you use,thanks.
This tool is programmed with a standard setting of 15k rpm in my library. I don't think I changed that for this project.
Hello sir thank u for the video. I watched all ur video
I appreciate u taking time to share ur knowledge .

@@JBWorx thank u for the replay sir , in this play list , will u be doing video how to cam in fusion 360?
Yes a little as we get to the aluminum machining.
@@JBWorx 👍 excellent thank u
I Hope you liked the video on Al machining and the Fusion 360 tips
kinda sad it's for the Imperial bits and measures :(
I think it will fit metric just fine. 1/4” is 6.35mm and there are also metric tools in diameter I made this for.
Great video!
Excellent if you enjoyed it !!
