Thank you so much George for coordinating this training with Eric!!! This was extremely helpful and has taken a lot of the mystery out of UCCNC. Can’t wait till the training videos come out from Stepcraft.
I am happy to do it.... the CNC industry could really benefit by doing more content like this for their clients. It is to hard to get good information. Thank you for the nice comment. Cheers!
This was a great "knock-the-rust-off" tutorial for me on UCCNC and I too have been running my M.1000 for a little over a year. I learned a few new functions that I was unaware of. Good job Erick and George well done!
thank you... I have been on a quest to buy a C02 Laser but I hope to have some more CNC Content shared with Eric in the near future.
YES!! Thanks to you and Eric for doing this intro. It's been a challenge to find good material on UCCNC use, let alone the Stepcraft custom UI. Content was either too cursory (Identifying a function button, but not actually explaining functionality in a context) or focused, but in such a manner that still made it impractical/non-applicable with respect to the Stepcraft UI. I'm so glad to hear that they're now in a place where they can put out much needed content on this.
Thank you for the Great Comment... I am going to try and keep Erick Doing this type of video for users, so they can more quickly grow in this every changing (advancing to the positive) industry. Hope you subscribed. Cheers.
Thank you George and Erick for the great tutorial.
You are most welcome.... Cheer and happy new year!
Great tutorial and well planned for flow of info. The smaller “D” series sounds great. Thank you.
Thank you, I figured it could help people who are trying to get into the hobby. Finding the information to keep the learning curve going constantly forward is hard, this was an effort to make at least the controller information a little easier to get to. The guys at Stepcraft have always been there to help me.
Erick and George this was great! Thank you!
David: thank you for the nice comment , this was really all about Erick at Stepcraft. People, if your reading the comments go Follow David at "MAKE SOMETHING"... he is inspiration to a everyone to MAKE SOMETHING... do not sit there go do something!
Thank you for the great tutorial
Love this
All the credit goes to Erick for sharing his knowledge.
this video is great for the new to uccnc. i use a cnc at work all the time but got the m1000 a year ago and i learned things on this video i didnt know .
Glad it was helpful! I was lucky to get Erick at Stepcraft to do this for us. CHeers.
Awesome, got me out of a bind with the info from this video. Thanks!
Very cool and I will take the liberty to say ERIC and I are both happy it help... Cheers.
Thank you, this was very helpful!
you are very welcome... It helped me a lot, also
Very well done !!!
I have another one with Erick on the way... thank you for the positive comment, makes me want to make more videos. Cheers
great tutorial thank you.
It was all Erick.. I was just lucky to host it and add a few questions....
STEPCRAFT CONTENT? I have been watching a few of your Xtool vids and now I find this? I want more Stepcraft content for sure! And ERICK IS THERE for this one TOO? BONUS! Subscribed AND belled!
It is HOT right now and I like to open my Garage door when I am making DUST... but I am going on a wood buying trip next week... I swear more Stepcraft stuff soon.
i just assembled my 1000 M and couldn't get the UCCNC to get out of demo mode. i will call stepcraft tomorrow to see what i did wrong..i did download it from the provided thumb drive and added the licence. excited to finally get it up and running. Stepcraft needs to step up its game and include a better assembly manual and videos.
Thank you thank you thank you so much for this!!! Liked and Subbed, have a D840 and will be follow/watching all your videos
Thank you.... Erick and I had a good time making this video... nothing like the University of TH-cam.
Thank you for this.
You are most welcome. I am thinking about getting someone at Stepcraft to go over the new D Series in the same type of format. I would also do the same thing for any other manufacture if they would ask.
@@GeorgeKennerLaser I’d be very interested since I’m unsure which model to buy.
@@Jesusistheonlyway549 If you would like send me an email to G.kenner @ Yahoo. com and I will send you some info.
No better value for all the features & add ons to get a great machine than stepcraft out there. The absolutely best value in feature-rich CNC you can possibly get right now.
I of course agree ... thank you for adding to the comments.
Muchas gracias.
This is by far the best video on any CNC controls.
I want to congrats you for so good information you are putting together.
I was saving for the Onefinitycnc but with this video you clear my mind and the Stepcraft is the better choice.
One question I have using the ( G54,G55,G56,G57,558 and G59)
Can i run different programs for some of them? ( I'm thinking of production products)
From Cypress Texas.
Thank's
Jazael thank you very much for the nice comment. I do not want to comment about the exact question, rather I suggest you contact Stepcraft send them an email, but I would not be surprised at all if they answer right here. CHEERS and thanks again.
I want to know more about the configuration, Special Asix Setup
Great video George, very helpful! Just got my m1000 and it won't reach it's x and x limits, wonder why it could be doing this?
Cool, thanks for the nice comment. I am not sure why it would be doing that.... I dont want to mess you up call Stepcraft and explain the problem... Love my M1000. Cheers.
Someone should add that the 93 videos mentioned in this video are made for their previous version machines (V2), so It doesnt really help when you buy the new D3.
I have a D3. Stepcrafts are well priced, sturdy machines and well manufactured but the printed construction manual suddenly ends when its time to plug in your machine, doesnt include UCCNC or a first use guide. In my opinion, their manuals and video libraries are as unorganized as the contents explained by the CEO in this video, ( dispite the questions asked where very accurate)
You are RIGHT but I just did a video that is in PRODUCTION / EDIT about the new D machine, Erick at Stepcraft did the same videos for the D machine. THANK YOU for your comment, all comments help people either with the machines or thinking of buying one. CHEERS BROTHER!
I’m confused :) Is there a difference between the user 1, 2, 3 buttons and the G54-G59 buttons?
Very helpful. How do I home the machine or decide where home is? My z axis is going in reverse but works fine when manually jogging.
The Home Button is in the controller if you want to insure the machine is starting at home I think that is a preset. I would contact the manufacture. If its Stepcraft they are very helpful. Cheers
Great video - thank you so much for doing this.
I have a question - is there a way you can put software limits on the machine so that it never hits the limit switches on each axis and you have to reset it?
I am not sure about that, but cannot think of a reason that would be a good thing. I would rather work with the limit switch as it would give me full use of the table size I have. Could I be missing something? I really do not know, I am asking honestly. Thank you for the thoughtful comment. Cheers!
@@GeorgeKennerLaser thanks for the response. what I want to know is if there is a way set the software so that the hardware can allow movement to just before the limit switch before triggering it and you have to do a reset.
For example, if you manually move the gantry on any axis and it stops the movement just before it triggers the switch.
This might not be necessary but I find it kind of irksome to have to reset every time I manually move the gantry and it gets triggered.
@@GeorgeKennerLaser also, is there any playlist of tutorial videos you’d recommend to get started on simple projects with this machine?
@@guerrillasneeded I understand what your saying but having used the machine, I do not find this to be an issue or ease of use. More times than not the only time I hit the limit switch is doing a homing sequence. Honestly do not know if you can set a hard stop. There are some abilities to set return points. but I am not sure that land on the axis stop points.
@@GeorgeKennerLaser thank you. I appreciate this info.
Question, what do the individual home/zero buttons with the arrow above them do? It’s been fun figuring this software out during the past month or two but there’s still mountains to learn
Somehow this comment just showed up in my feed and appears to be 10 days old. I try and always respond and fast. If you take a picture or screen capture of the buttons and sent it to G.Kenner@yahoo.com I will find out. Thank you!
Hola Seria Genial encontrar un tutorial del manejo de este programa en español ,pero aun no a sido Inventado., que pena Un Saludo
Howdy George.
Great video - I just subscribed. 🙂
Like you I also have an M.1000 that I received fully assembled in June. About a month ago, I purchased an Automatic Tool Changer with a Tool Magazine and Dust Boot Control. However, I'm having a terrible time getting the ATC and magazine working properly. Have you had any issues with your ATC and magazine? I've been working with Hugo, at Stepcraft. He writes most if not all the ATC UCCNC macros. Any way you could reply and include your values for ToolX[1] and ToolY[1] in the M6 macro? These are my values - ToolX[1] = 678.0000; ToolY[1] = 1040.9625;
Thanks!
I have mostly used the tool changer for the speed of releasing the chuck and changing the bit. TO ME.. that was worth the entire price of the ATC . I have not really set up a program to change the bits, my projects have not required it honestly. I still feel like I am doing simple projects. Sorry I could not provide more help, but Honestly is the Best Policy. CHEER BROTHER!
@@GeorgeKennerLaser Thanks George! 🙂
Can anyone give me advice? I nearly assembled M1000 kit, but in UCCNC I can't open left jog panel by dragging my mouse. So I am unable to move my axis to complete assembly. It is in reset mode either my Estop is released or activated. It has red status "Idle", "Reset" and "Hard limit" under diagnostics tab. Visually my limit switches doesn't seem to be activated in any way.
Get ahold of Greg...what Windows system are you using 10 or 11.. they will hook you up... I am building my second M1000 right now .
I purchased my CNC machine 3 weeks ago and have yet to make a single cut because I get lost, figure it out, get lost, figure it out...Right now, I'm just trying to figure out how to move the Z axis. When i enter a number in the Z field, it just disappears. But you did save me by showing option that will move my Z and I don't need to type a number. The next problem is that UCCNC is telling me that my soft limits is exceeded, to either adjust or to remove. Hopefully i'll make a first cut within a couple of weeks
Sorry I was slow in seeing this. You will get it ... and have a blast with your machine.. hang in there.
@@GeorgeKennerLaser Thanks. Just completed my first cuts. By having to problem solve to get me to this point, it has allowed me to learn many aspects of CNC, from software to the machine itself.
so I have limit switches to home my machine (left front corner) and they do exactly what they're supposed to do. Problem is CNC4NEWBIE and it's US support provided by one single individual are simply not capable of being responsive to the plethora of customers they have to support.
I cannot for the world of me figure out how to set the "virtual limits" in the UCCNC software accurately so that I can stop running into outer plates (back and right and Z) therefore when that happens, throws off my "zero" coordinates". Frustrating at best! Could you possibly tell me how to set these limits or the methodology behind it so that I might be able to understand it better.
This one is beyond me but I will try and reach out to Erick and see if he knows. Is this a Stepcraft Machine?
Does the UCCNC have a squaring function for the Y axis ?
I am not really sure of this. I could be calling this by another name. Best to check with the people who sell or sold you your CNC.
hello, how can i change the manual toolchange position?
I am not really sure what you are asking... Manual Tool Changer.. Manuel would be your wrench and chuck position.. RIGHT? Thank you for the question.
Hello again, how can i change the parking position in UCCNC. I want my machine to stop in a specific position to change the tool manual, for the next process(2D Contour) @@GeorgeKennerLaser
I just do it from the start position and then raise the spindle and then change the tool and reset the Zero. @@user-ig1rb3gf4b

He is the "LEADER" of American distribution. Minor point, he still did a great job at this video. Cheers Bro.
