Thanks Tommy great video and awesome to have you back. Im not going to say I'll have a CNC because the last time i told you I'll never have a spindle molder I ended up being given a spindle molder to restore and I had to go back and rewatch your spindle molder video so I'm going to save this video just in case. Thanks Tommy. Cheers mate

Thanks Samuel 🙂, you should never say never I wouldn't have thought a few years ago I'd have a cnc in the workshop and now here we are 🤣.
Clever modification to give yourself extra height Tommy, very simple but I bet many haven't thought to do the same. I'm suspecting your looking to introduce some sort of vertical ability to your CNC by being able to remove the front spoil board and access the hole I saw there. I'm really interested in what you do to make this CNC a 'Tommy special' so please keep them coming Sir.

That's the beauty of a kit style cnc leaves to open to improvements and you are spot on the hole in the bench gave it away 🤣
@ The builders are in and the concrete slab is coming up this week. Will have a video of the progress in a weeks time. Hopefully. Thanks and take care 😀👍
@ Thanks for asking. The builders are starting this week to remove the concrete slab and then the garden and driveway. I plan on getting a video out a week today 👍😀.
Another very informative and well explained video Tommy you understand what you want and have the ability to create something that works well for your needs that's the sign of a true craftsman. Well done
Really like the solution to giving more depth and the 3 section approach I’ll definitely consider this when I come to replace my spoiler board. Thanks for sharing . 👍
@ Hi, I’ve got the maffel spindle like yourself, do you have any issues with cutter pull out? I’ve had it a few times now, it feels like I have to really tighten up the collet rather than just the 1/8th nip 🤷

@@Phenrica hi, no I have not had any issues like that since changing over to the mafell. Can I ask are you sure the bits are the correct size for the collet as a 6mm bit will be too small for a 1/4" collet.
@ now that’s a good question Tommy, I do have a range of bits and collets (8mm, 6mm, 1/4, & 1/8) and I’ve got them sorted accordingly however I’ve never measured them just taken the manufacturer’s size as true 🤔. Having given them a measure I can confirm that they’re ok. Ooznest’s supplied 😉 it’s the 1/4 up cut and a Rutlands 1/4 compression bit that seem to misbehave, maybe I’ve just not been giving them a good nip 🤷♂️ Thanks for the reply Cheers Steve
Great to have you back making video's Tommy and brilliant to get an insight of the improvements you are making to your machine, very well explained as always. John

Thanks John 🙂 it's great to be back still trying to get back into the swing of things
Hey Tommy, Really Appreciated Your videos on Workbee. I have just finished surfacing your spoilboard and running the grid looking forward to my first real-world project today. Great Design. One thing to note in the video is that the two end clamps do not need to be T pieces. I machined mine up before realizing. Anyway, keep up the great videos, look forward to more CNC content

Thank you very much, I'm glad you found my videos helpful. Just a note the end pieces are not T pieces they only have one side machined but will still do the same job with both sides machined 🙂
After many months of thinking about getting a CNC machine, I'm both a computer programmer and maker so this intrigues me greatly, I'm just getting to the point of buying a Workbee Z1+ CNC and have been trawling through the InterWeb to find out more about it. Since I regularly use 8x4 sheets of marine ply I'm aiming to get the 1500 x 1500 version and was delighted to find your series on assembling the CNC and now the creation of a suitable spoilboard. Many thanks for doing this. I look forward to seeing what you do next with this great machine.

Thanks very much, I'm delighted that you found the series helpful. Yes iv been getting mine specific to suit my needs and I think this spoilboard is perfect for the machine and using 8ft sheets. Don't forget if you decide to get a machine to use the link in description of the videos it helps me to continue to create videos 🙂
Hi mate, great video. I've recently finished building my workbee, can I ask you, when you surfaced the spoil board, did you use the touch probe? Or did you just hit go on the programming?

I used the probe to set the z height, I set the position of x and y to the centre of yhe spoilboard manually. Hope this helps

Thanks for the video Tommy and sharing your solutions!
Thanks very much 🙂 the machine just makes my ideas so easy to implement and more to come 🙂
What an awesome piece of kit. Looking forward to you pushing the boundaries of what it can do. Boldly go where no Irish man has CNCd before
Thanks 🙂, did you get your workshop sorted out and back in action again?
@ The builders are in and the concrete slab is coming up this week. Will have a video of the progress in a weeks time. Hopefully. Thanks and take care 😀👍

Excellent ideas Tommy you really are a fountain of knowledge of seeing an issue and coming up with very smart and effective solutions
Thanks Denis 🙂
Very good idea, thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🙂
Many thanks for this very instructive video. I'm waiting impatiently the next one describing your process to make the toolpaths!
Thank you 🙂 I'm working on it now will be posted over the weekend

@ Done, but I don't know if it worked.
@@tetleyk enjoy the build when your kit arrives 👍
Some working out in that Tommy. You had the porridge, & a bit of salmon ate when yer man was handing out the brains that morning. 😂
🤣🤣🤣 thanks Denis 🙂
What is the make of the router you are using there? Is it a router or a spindle? And is a 65mm diameter as in the same as a Makita router?
It's a Mafell fm1000 milling motor it is an excellent piece of kit
Very nice modular design , correct me if am wrong but when u switch sections u will have to resurface everything?
Yes if sections are switched it would be best practice to run a surfacing pass just to be 100% sure its perfect

@ thank you mate, huge help
Get that pendant set up mate, will take you less time then it did to jog to zero. 🤣
Absolutely 🤣.
