Dave here, from Fine Line Joinery, a small cabinet shop specializing in custom, residential cabinetry. I started this channel to share projects, shop tips, tool reviews… you know, whatever woodworking shop stuff I have the time and patience to set up a camera for.
It’s been fun trying to get this TH-cam thing going and it would help me out a lot if you’d be kind enough to Subscribe to my channel. Thanks!
I‘ve been doing construction work since my college days in the early 80’s (gawd that was a long time ago!). After a couple of less than satisfying years as an engineer in the aerospace industry, I returned to construction and eventually got my General Contractor’s license in 1990. After several years of high end residential remodeling, I got my specialty license for Cabinets, Casework and Finish Carpentry in 2003 and transitioned into custom cabinetmaking. And here I am!

HAD to do THIS to my Milwaukee M18 Shop Vac!

HAD to do THIS to my Milwaukee M18 Shop Vac!
The very first project I designed was a two-sided one, I guess too dumb to know I shouldn't start off with something that difficult! After hours of fiddling with the design components and measuring, it actually cut out ok. Then I couldn't get the same result again. I had the idea of cutting holes through and into the spoilboard and putting in pins (I used a bamboo chopstick cut into short pieces, afraid of hitting it with my bit. And I used a power hand drill instead of the actual CNC. Missing the obvious!). It sorta kinda worked. Then I started seeing people commenting in my groups about setting the holes in a random fashion, and discovered there were easier ways to do this, if I only knew what they were...your video was the first to come up in my search, and your explanation is very helpful! Everything is starting to make sense, thank you!
Are you still happy with this machine? At less than half the price of the Conturo, it is tempting for a small, cost-conscious shop like mine but only if it is reliable and well supported. Thanks
This is the best 2-sided tutorial I’ve found. Thank you!
Dave, I’ve just seen this and it’s absolutely brilliant. What an incredible solution to a frustrating problem. Thank you for sharing.
Silly question -- when you cut the index holes in the top of the piece, why not cut all the way through into the spoilboard right then? Why remove the piece and then cut the holes in the spoilboard? I'm new to all this, but it seems like you could save yourself some time?
I like your safety shoes, they are much better than slippers they use to ride a bike in Philippines. Bacause you still have all your fingers a wood to push the object you are cutting is not needed - I see you are a profi. However you did not hear your dog obiously your ears suffered because you avoid hearing protection - who likes that MickeyMouse ears. Or you are the guy who sat in the cone of the bass speaker in your disco times to checkout how much noise ears can take ;-) Anyways have a blessed Halloween !
Excellent presentation!
Thank you for sharing your videos. I have learned a lot from them. I just wanted to ask you how to close vectors in vcarve pro. I'm working on a map of the USA that includes all the states individual maps. But when 3 o more state lines joint together at one point I'm not able to joining them as vectors. If you can help me with this matter, I'd appreciate it. Thank you very much.

This is an amazing project!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh l so am a fan. So fun and personal 🎉
Hi would it be possible to use Makita vac's bluetooth parts on milwaukee vac so that it would be compatible to makita aws tools? I havr this vac too and got a new 40v makita sander with aws and reallg want it to work on this vac. Please let me know if yoj know anything about how to male them work together. Would it be similar concept and instead of the relay we can just attach a makita switch or bluetooth parts to the milwaukee vac.
Definitely sounds possible. I don't really know how the Makita system works though. I'm also cross-platform with a Makita 18V x2 miter saw and Milwaukee 18V table saw. I decided this would be the most versatile way to use the vac. If you decide to try it, come back and let me know how it works out! Thanks for watching!
@@FineLineJoinery Wish I could do something like that. However, we should be able to buy the AWS part on any AWS tool and try to connect that to a Milwaukee tool. Then find the Bluetooth receiver part on a Makita AWS Vac and connect that to our Milwaukee vacs :)
@@tcguns I don't know. The parts might reject each other... 🤣
Brilliant! well done mate 🙏🏻
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing. I just bought the Trace. Looking forward to using it with my Laser and CNC> Hoping to get the Origin soon
Thanks for watching! Enjoy using your Trace! BTW, like with most new tools, using it has gotten much easier with practice.🙂
I'm looking at getting one for 3D design
That's still my #1 use for it! Thanks for watching and Happy Designing!
The clamping force on the Clamex connectors is 30lbs each.
All I know is it's enough for a pinch that I won't forget! Thanks for watching!
Great VID, i'm a newbie too, still waiting on cnc to arrive. Where did you get that fancy Z probe unit? does that check x and y too?
Glad you enjoyed it! That's the Auto Zero Touch plate from Sienci Labs: sienci.com/product/autozero/ If you go to 10:31 in the video, I'm doing a full XYZ probe using "tip" mode for the V-bit. Thanks so much for watching! Have fun with your machine!
@@FineLineJoinery hello again, ok I tested out a second project and I failed somewhere. my machine bed index holes didn't line up with the part. I copied it from the top as shown. Although I went back and made the diameter .05mm small for the spoilboard holes to make a really tight fit. BUT the holes appear to be off by a couple mm. All the top side machining looks great. I flipped it correctly too. LOL , i wonder if my spoilboard and maybe my material are slipping with the tape??
@@TinkerTechRC If you are using tape only, no clamps or screws, yeah, it could be that your material moved. I use SpecTape ST501 exclusively. It holds really well and is very thin. I've found that the thicker cloth tapes might hold well, but there is actually enough flex just in the tape material to allow a little movement. Could you have accidently "nudged" a hole or 2 when resizing? When you made the spoilboard holes smaller, did you make sure to have centers selected as the anchor and only do one at a time? If you resized them all at once, the anchor would be at the center of the group instead the center of each circle. That's all I can think of. When you figure it out, let me know what it was. Good Luck!
@@FineLineJoinery Thanks for the feedback, I ordered that tape! For the locate holes I copied the vector to the other side, then went to that side and selected them 1 at a time and change the dia. I'll try again with the new tape soon :) THX!!
@@TinkerTechRC You might still want to consider popping in a couple of screws to really secure it...
Awesome attention to engineering/details to make it the best it can be. Love the programmed remote for your lift table!
Thanks, Mark! Yeah, that lift table makes the best assembly bench ever. Glad you talked me into getting one! I added the remote with programmable height presets to make it even better! Hoping to do a video on that in the not too distant future. Thanks for watching!
Great video neatly made and a great set of folding doors.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Looking forward to the full build. Sleep solves many things.
the cutaway was awesome thanks for sharing
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Just now found my way here. Great channel. I'm new to Cnc as well. Currently on a Bob Cnc but have an Alt Mill ordered and awaiting almost patiently.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video! Have fun with the Altmill!
Saw this on ShaperHub and didn’t know ow what it was. Then found this video…. Genius. Thanks for sharing and your hard work.
I bought the complete set of the edge bander 10 years ago in Germany for about 1100€ now i am living in Vietnam. And they sell it separate. The Edge bander cost here about 160€ without shipping cost😢😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the video. So you zero xy at the center but really you just get it kind of close to the center of your stock as long as the part will still stay inside of the stock right?
That is correct. Note, however, that I changed my XY datum to the lower left corner when I started toolpathing, because that's how I will probe my material when setting up to mill. Just remember not to move any path vectors after copying them to the other side! Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Brilliant solution!
Thank you!
good video only we can't download the files.
Not sure what the issue might be with the ShaperHub download, I don't have any control over that. Have you tried to contact their support? I haven't heard of any issues.
Trying that now. I have been STRUGGLING with two sided machining. I've used the 4 pins (symmetrical) and cut through once, then turned. But it would always mismatch by about 1/16" between two sides. I need a perfect match because I am milling parts. Will try your method now. hoping it works.
IT WORKED. THANKS FRIEND!
That's awesome! I'm so glad to have helped! Thanks for watching my video and especially for the comment and update. Happy CNC'ing!
@@FineLineJoinery if you could make a video on hot to create a jig for two sided machining - it would be awesome. I always have either 6x6” or 4x6” precisely cut material. And I need to cut at scale. 100-200 a month. So three holes is a good solution but not scalable
@@KromayAsk Hmmm... I'll give it some thought.
The Zeta P is expensive but The cutaway is Priceless ❤
Glad you liked that! Thanks for watching!
I love my P2, Its pricey, but i'm a crazy tool junkie. I am pleasantly surprised on how much i have used it. lots more than i thought i would...great video and the cutout was terrific addition!
Yeah, I bought it for a specific job and have been pleasantly surprised at how much I've continued to use it. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Sacrilege! How dare you! Cutting with something other than the origin, are you not a purist? You need to repent… And ship me that CNC machine
Ha ha! You called it... not a purist! I'll have to give some thought before sending you my CNC... Be sure to keep checking your mail though 🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for watching the vid!
Brilliant
Cool system, are those drawer fronts clad in leather?
Yup on the leather. The client had an upholsterer cover them then sent them back to me for installation. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
If got the BR500, previous model, using it for about 5 years now. Very usefull, the more you use it the easier it gets. Much cheaper than the Festool
Glad to hear it's holding up well over the years! Thanks for watching and your comment!
Brilliant! Nice work!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words!
Nice video do you know if its the same as the felder one its also the one tool i dont own from festool 😊
Didn't know Felder made a portable edge bander til now. Just looked it up and it does look pretty similar. Don't know if it's the same though... Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Quality video, your voiceover is clear & pleasant.
Appreciate the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Looks to be a winner. Love that you can adjust the power feature. Great video!
Yeah, love these drawer slides. Thanks Mark!
Genious idea and implementation - unbelievable! My respect is big: although it is classified as easy on Shaperhub I don't believe that this is easy for me.
Thank you I have a California job coming up that I want to buy this for this video is really helpful
That's why we do what we do for a living, right? Hoping for jobs that will justify new tools! If you're anything like me, once you have the P2, you'll keep finding more places to use it! Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
This as AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing sir. This is arguably the best solution to this dilemma I've ever seen.
The oscillation groove and assembly is so clever. Would like to test it some day. If it could be somehow integrated into CNC workflow, without manual milling, it would be really nice.
There is CNC tooling available for the P2 joinery system, I've seen it set up on production machinery at Trade Shows. So there ya go, problem solved! Thanks for watching and commenting on my video! Cheers!
I hardly ever use the Tenso connectors as I thought they would not come apart. Nice to see that they do, if needed. Thanks for that.
Yeah, I love the Tensos. Really my "go to" from the P2 collection. Thanks for watching!
Great video? What blade did you get on the zeta?
I don't want to make one, I want to buy one. Great job!
Haha! Get out your Origin and start cutting!
Very good
I wish someone would offer 3D modeled gears. I think this is a well-engineered project. Cutting and sanding this out with an SO is a real time commitment. A more durable material than wood, would be my preference. I think it would hold up better over time. Anyways great job.
A time commitment it is for sure. I've avoided trying out 3D printing because I can imagine the piles of plastic trash I would make. As far as durability, I don't think the actual wear on these wooden gears is anything to worry about. I know I'm no youngster, but I'm confident the gears will outlast me. They only experience a dozen or so low speed revolutions each time it's used. Thanks for watching and your comments!
Brilliant! Well done dude, might put some variation of this to work in my shop. I hate walking back and forth to open and close gates
Yeah, I have this set up now on all the blast gates in my system, about a dozen of them. They all work flawlessly! Thanks for watching and your comments!
What an ingenious idea and what a generous person to give your time and skill so freely!
Thank you for the kind words and thanks so much for watching!
i like the idea of a portable option, but the weight of that thing must be substantial... are there any assists that might help a small shop make the most of this machine?
The specs say 18 lbs, but it doesn't feel heavy while using. Once you start banding, the weight is mostly on the workpiece. They do have a small table available so it can be used as a benchtop tool. I've though about making one myself, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Follow the link in the description to Shop Gear to see the accessories available. Thanks for watching the video and your question!
Great video! Thanks for showing us how well this machine can work. Great instructions, I have been looking at something along these lines for a while now, and Im the same, Festool is great when you need it, but price plays a factor... so this looks like a great alternative!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
just bought a brand new edgebander for $209. I should make a video when i get it..
Yeah! Come back and let me know if you do!
