Yeah, that would help but you still have to deal with the leaky pleats in the plastic bag where it clamps and the lack of dust capacity, not to mention having to worry if something falls on the bag and tears it. Ever since I switched you couldn't pay me to go back to bags.

Yeah, let me tell you I left a lot out of the video when it came to the drag chains, now I just laugh about it. You're going to love the machine it's really fun and there is so much you can make. I have recently moved the machine to a new mobile table which will be in the next video. I have decided to focus a lot more on using the machine and I needed better access to it. Enjoy it 👍

Hello, thanks for watching the video, you're going to have to call an electrician to see if a 220v plug can be installed in the garage. Worst case scenario is that they can install a 220v plug somewhere in the vicinity and then you can have them make a long extension cord so that you can plug in to it even if it's 30 feet away. If they can't install a 220v plug, I would contact Carbide3D and see if you can return the 2.2kw spindle for the 1.2kw spindle which is 110v.

That's awesome!!! You'll love it, there's so much you can make with that machine. Stick with it, I've got more videos coming to inspire 👍

Glad you enjoyed it! Just so you understand the video was made to help someone decide whether or not they need the power of the 2.2kw 👍

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 👍

LOL! I save a lot of that packing stuff for protecting finished surfaces. I did want to keep that foam but I didn't think I would use it also. By the way I like your username 😉

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy them. I use a sacrificial board that I mount to the spoil board so the spoil board never gets touched. It's great for the trays because I have a thin board mounted to the left edge that is perfectly 90 to the face, great for registering it in the same place every time. 👍

I used to be really bad with the OCD, now I learned to turn it on or off when needed, lol. I keep the shop like that mainly for the channel, usually it's very dusty but keeping it clutter free gives me more space 😉

Thank you so much! I'm glad that you found it useful and that you appreciate details. Welcome!

Thanks I'm glad it was helpful! So I used the Wen 3403-022 impeller, it's a drop in replacement. It's heavier than the stock one and takes a little longer to reach full rpm but it works great. I'm still looking for a filter for the top, not sure which one fits perfectly so if anyone has suggestions I'm all ears.

Try Donaldson filters or Wynn filters

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it, I'm very detailed just working out how much viewers will tolerate 👍

Thanks, so what I currently do is knock on the side of the barrel and you can easily hear the difference of where the dust line is. It works great, and yes Facebook is loaded with barrels, very inexpensive, glad you enjoyed it! 👍

220v 💪 much better

Hey there! Yes the Shapeoko 5 Pro can do all of the things you are asking for. The 1.2 kw is certainly capable of handling the task however at a slower feed rate than the 2.2 kw and it will require multiple passes. However, to get the cleanest cut I would recommend a compression bit, keep it sharp and watch your feed rates, don't go to fast.

Heya, no sorry I didn't do any of those tests. I can barely get viewers to watch 5 minutes of a video, if I went into that much detail forget it no views, sorry Yes it does come with a locking plug, easy hook up for someone handy 👍

Hey there, so the purpose of this test, which I mentioned in the beginning of the video, is to help someone decide which spindle is right for them. Is the 1.2 kw going to be enough or do I need the 2.2 kw? This video helps to answer that question, it wasn't meant to be a power comparison between the two.

Thanks! The outfeed table cannot be raised it is flush with the table saw top. Since the making of this video I actually upgraded the spindle, which is in another video, but now my clearance under the table has gotten shorter so lifting the CNC router up higher off the floor isn't an option either. I guess I'm stuck crouching under there for a while, thanks again for appreciating the idea 👍

The rectangular tray took about 5 minutes of actual machining time, give or take

@@StudioZ72.create thank you. Im currently stuck to choosing air or watercooled vfd spindle 2.2kw. I really liked the air one if the noise is almost the same when they are in action due to cutting noise.

I would highly recommend the water cooled. The cutting noise will be the same but the actual spindle running will be quieter. If you do end up machining something that requires a lot of machining time then you won't have to worry with the water cooled spindle. I know myself I have a couple of projects that take over an hour of machining and it's nice to not have to worry about overheating.

@@StudioZ72.create thank you so much. Now ill go with watercooled spindle 🤩.

I've never seen that, I'll have to look at it for reference. Just so you know, I was a hardwood floor refinisher for over 30 years and our sander had a large cloth bag also with drawstrings and I hated changing it, dust went everywhere. I love the metal drum, the extra capacity is a huge bonus.

The problem is the plastic bag is oversized and when you try to clamp it down you have to pull all of the excess to one point and fold it over. It always tries to leak at that fold, but nice idea with the tape. The metal drum is so much easier and way faster, not to mention it holds way more dust than the bag. Thanks, glad you liked it 👍

The issue with all other options is attaching the top of the dust collector to the "barrel" with some kind of homemade lid that you will have to do all kinds of modifications to get it to seal. The lid on the steel drum has a rubber seal built in, it's already done for you.

Thank you! Because the upper part of the dust collector is so flimsy and the metal is so thin I would test it on a scrap piece first. The PL max that I used is really strong and I imagine the JB weld would work but I think you will need some type of mechanical fastener to keep it in place firmly as you apply the glue or JB weld. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful.

Yes, probably my worst ummm count in a video. 😒 Now I'm really aware of it and it won't happen again

Sorry not enough demand for it, your the only person to ask for it. If enough people asked to see it I would do it, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

@@StudioZ72.createwould love to see it too!

I would love to see it.

I use an inline water separator coming out of the tank and then a inline disposable water filter attached to the spray gun.

I'll have to include that on the next one, I also found out how to speed up the machine!

Hola, perdoname, mi espanol no es tan bueno. Si el 1.5 kw esta bien con el nema 23. Mi CNC tiene nema 23 y primero tuve un 1,2 kw y ahora un 2.2 kw y es muy bueno.

Awesome! Glad the video helped, you will love the 2.2 kw

Hello! I'm not familiar with the 6040 but I did do a search on the machine and I found that it's mainly for engraving. I would stick with no more than a 1.2 - 1.5 kw spindle on that machine. The gantry and side rails don't look like they can handle the weight without flexing also if the z axis will be able to repeatedly lift it. It looks like a pretty cool machine especially the new one with the 4th axis, put a 1.2 kw spindle on that and you have a great machine.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, yes I've been trying, bad habit 😒

​@@StudioZ72.create SUBSCRIBED!!

You won't be disappointed with the upgrade! Yeah it was squealing a lot with the 3/8" 2 flute upcut endmill and I tried different speeds and feed rates, hardly changed. I ordered a new one with a coating to see if it helps. Maybe that bit was getting dull? The murphy bed idea sounds like it could work, although maybe too heavy to lift up? The machine is over 200lbs. I've seen it done in other videos though with a different machine. Us small shop guys have to be creative 👍

Hey there! It's coming soon! I'm setting up a store on Etsy and probably here on my channel in merch. I'm working out all the details , won't be long! Thanks so much!

Hey Pop's! Yes it is my 2.2 kw spindle. It's a beast you're going to love it! Glad you liked it, much appreciated! Best, Pete

​@@StudioZ72.createshocking depth of cut on such a large diameter cut !

Awesome! No you have to turn on the chiller separately.

Hey there! Glad you enjoyed it, so my nephew and I used moving straps that we slid under the machine and we lifted it up attached to our wrists. It was heavy! We were positioned at either side of the side rails.

What's the price difference between a 1.2 kw and a 2.2kw? Just curious, what comes with the spindles from your supplier?

If your 2.2kw requires a 220V outlet that might be a challenge to set up. I thought the same thing too but then when I found out it would cost a few grand to install an outlet for it I ended up sending it back. So just a heads up :)

@@romanhuante i live in Sweden, we have only 220 here.

@@ShorreyAwesome. Then it's a no-brainer for sure! :)

i just last month buy 2,2KW spndle and i looking 2-3 month what size and were i buy budget has limiter less 200$. and i see all 1,5KW and 2,2KW have very similar cost, no lot different, i buy 2,2KW because can buy same price than 1,5KW about, 130$ only spindle. and VFD need new biggest cost 2,2KW VFD 70$ thats not bad budget builders 200€ lot better spindle. no waste money lot, i has before 800W air cooled spindle and has good if use only small job and not have busy. only wood.

So true, the extra rigidity and larger assortment of bits is awesome! Best, Pete

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it, FYI down the line I am going to try to make custom stocks for rifles 😉

@@StudioZ72.create Cant wait to see that video

Interesting, when you say higher speed do you mean RPM? Or the feed rate?

@@StudioZ72.createi meant a feed rate to rpm ratio. You were reaching close to the cutting limits of the bit you tested with. Once a cutter is forced to cut too big junks due to a high feed rate to rmp ratio, it starts to tear, bend and resonate. You can also audibly hear the bit struggling and resonating on some cuts. If you want to test the limit of the 2.2kw spindle some more, test it with a 4 flute bits, so you don't reach the limit of the bit so easily.

Great insight, Thanks. Yes I was a little nervous about the 2 flute bit being that it's core is quite thin/flimsy but I didn't have a 3 or 4 flute bit around that has a more stout core. 👍

Hey Allan, that's good the hard part is over! All you have to do is hook up your computer or laptop to the machine and open Carbide Motion (version 636), make sure you configure your machine in it ( your model and size) and then go to the spindle warmup feature and run that. It will run the spindle at certain rpm's for a pre set length of time. Make sure you remove the collet or tighten it so it doesn't fly off. Let me know if it works, cheers mate

community.carbide3d.com/ I highly recommend joining this forum. I'm a member and it really helps when you are in a pinch. It's the best way to get in touch with Carbide 3D and everyone is willing to help one another.

Great video, thanks for putting that up. I have the same setup. Does the cooler hoses need to be on a particular input/output for the connections or does that matter? Thanks!

Hey! Yes your definitely correct that spindle can do a lot more than what I covered in the video. I just didn't want to hurt or damage a brand new spindle but to get somewhat close. I also never made a full depth pass so I wanted to be safe and crank up the rpm, not paying attention to cut quality. I'm glad you enjoyed it! More cool stuff to come!

Hey there! Really simple, just 2 pieces of 3/4" trim screwed together 3" wide however long you need and then screwed to the wall. So the clamps basically hang on the ledge created by the trim. 👍

@@StudioZ72.create any chance you can leave a picture - I understand what your saying but am more visual - for the f style is there a lip they hook onto? Or they are flat on top for both clamp styles and gravity just holds them?

Can't do pics but yes flat on top and gravity holds them. Also they lean into the wall a bit and that helps keep them in place.

Wow that's impressive! Just curious if your spindle is a 4 pole or a 2 pole motor? Woodworking spindles are 2 pole motors and aren't supposed to work at low rpm, this is why they aren't meant to cut ferrous metals which usually require low rpm cutting. 4 pole motors can operate at slow rpm's and so they are better suited for metal work.

@@StudioZ72.create Thanks! It is the same exact spindle like Yours, 2.2kw for wood (probably 2 poles) and yes, it does not have enough torque on low speeds for ferrous metals so i have to run it at least 6-8k rpm. But i didn't mention cutting speed (which is slow, around 150mm/min or 6in/min) and i have a coolant. I have to make rpm reductor or put a servo motor as a spindle.

You're welcome!
