- This is a bit long for TH-cam, but I didn't really post anything about building it so I guess it's totally my fault I crammed it all into one super video.
I built this thing over the course of about half a year for my father in law. He is a woodworker and expressed some interest in getting a CNC router, but they are expensive and he had some thoughts on what he wanted that didn't really fit into an off-the-shelf offering in his price range. So I took on the challenge and I think it turned out well for a first try.
Enjoy the video!

Best cnc router build I've seen I'm about to build a cnc router good to see one built by someone who knows what there doing there's alot of very average cnc builds here on youtube. the vacuum table still got me stumped how it works that well.
It was a bit of a brain teaser for me at first, but basically the mdf acts like a porous sponge for the air. Enough of it can pass through to act like a giant manifold over the whole surface, but not enough can get through around the part to reduce the vacuum level by much. Keep in mind that the vacuum motors can move a lot of air. You do have to cut into the first little bit of the mdf because the density and glue amount is too high to let much air through. And you also have to give the vacuum a manifold to be distributed evenly, hence why I cut a grid into the bottom of it
This setup really only works well for extremely flat and smooth surfaces, like mdf, plywoods, plastics, metal, etc. It doesn't hold down very well to anything with the least bit of texture.
Realy great , you have done a nice job all complited nothing more will be needed , good luck to you and good health for your Dad to enjoy the wood working .
Wow, this is pro level. You've considered pretty much everything!
Dude this is freakin phenomenal! Good work!
mmmmh one hell of an all in all solution...great design love it.
WOW, Reini! This is the most well-built DIY CNC I have seen. And we appreciate all the close-ups and detailed explanations. You seem to have thought of everything. So neat and tidy! And so capable. Fast! Precise! Versatile! Sturdy! Do I dare ask how much it all cost, and whether you were doing this as a gift, or did your father-in-law pay you to design and build it?
Man, awesome build, I'm going to take some ideas from your setup to rebuild my crappy one. Thanks for the extended video
Brilliant job mate.. Jeez that was a lotta work. Looking into the electronics and electrics box remindde me of those big machines I used to work on years ago. U open the door and it's full to the brim of working parts.. A hck of a lot went into this build man so be proud of it..
Thank you for sharing. It's an amazing project and I loved the detail and effort you put into this for your father-in-law. Despite the fact I have no experience with CNC, I am thinking this would be a fun project. My only concern is finding all these parts including the issue of making the custom parts myself. Great share.
Bloody brilliant Machine, If only you were in the Uk I would be pestering you to make me one 😊
THIS IS A REAL PIECE OF ART
Really nicely done. I'm working on a design for myself, and will use some of your ideas. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Reini, I keep coming back to your video explanation of the control box and wiring it to 220V. You've really put a lot of thought into it. I'm confused about bringing in 220V then splitting it for the various components, how to balance the current legs, where to stage the EMI filter in relation to the contactor, the breakers, any fuses, etc. Boy, a wiring diagram would be helpful. Any chance?
omg man you are so smart and talented your a great engineer you blew me away man. respect your a master jedi !!!!!!!
Nice build! Got some ideas for the build I'm working on. Thanks for sharing!
Nice. I'm building up my collection of shop automation myself. Running a cnc router, co2 and fiber laser, and 3d printer. Just got a spindle for my own set up. They're pretty handy!
Awesome build! Definitely the bench mark for my planned build.
What a great thing to do for your dad in law!
Yes Sir Very nice well thought DIY machine
You really seemed to think of everything for your Father in Law
He'll get a life time of usage out of that one...
Excellent job sir!
I wish you were my son!! But Kudos to you for doing that for him!!
Lucky father-in-law, nice build. He should consider using RV antifreeze(pink) it’s not Harmful to breath like what is used in cars.
Absolutely Awesome build!
Awesome work, very nice machine!
can tell this isn't your first rodeo. good job, I'm envious
Great build, any potential of you releasing a BOM for this design?
Very Nice, looks like you thought of everything.
So Smart and creative! subscribed.
Really impressive work. Would you be able to add links to the main components you used. Great build.
Noce job , very perfect result on what witch you have had wanted to be . Good luck
That's an amazing build. Very nice job.Just wondering if you had a wire diagram for this build and if you wouldnt mind sharing or hell i would even pay lol. Would of loved to see a full build video of this machine being built.
No wiring diagram. Once you start building the circuits it becomes pretty apparent how it needs to be laid out, just follow the path of the angry pixies. Everything is pretty basic power and ground, breakers and contactors on certain circuits, relays, etc. The thing that requires the most thought is how the e stop circuit is going to be laid out and what it interrupts, but even that is fairly simple. The one important thing I would recommend not forgetting is some contactor coil wiring don't have flyback diodes, just add a diode over the coil terminals. If you have any wiring questions there is a great diy cncs facebook group that I post to regularly, there are some helpful people there.
@@ReiniGrauer ok thank you. Is there a specific name for the face book group? what size breaker are you running all this from your pannel? i knpow its 240 just wonders the amps
@@Djvickers20 facebook.com/groups/cncdiy
It all runs on a typical 30a breaker, but could probably run on less without the vacuum table. Each circuit inside the cabinet is on its own breaker (fuses would work here too).
Awesome job.
Well built! Congrats. It'd be really interesting to learn how does this build compares to a similar size machine if purchased (?) considering all the same quality details and so on.
Great job!
Wow beautiful
Top notch build!
Great job! What is he machining that he needs such a beast? Love the video.
nice build man...you reallly set him up nice. very well thought out. love the cabinet integration. how big is the cutting area?
IIRC, about 48" x 32"
Top 💯
Muito bem construida😁👍
holy cow this is a good build
Hello,
Awesome Job and design skills on the CNC project - Very well thought out!! What are you using to drive the vacuum table? Also, did you 3d Print small "Wingnut Style" hand turn knobs for your stainless gear clamps? If so, good idea. Having trouble finding the 3d Print file. Do you know if it exists out there? Thank you!
This is awesome!
If things don´t work out with the mrs...I have a daughter I would be happy to introduce you to.
Incredible
This is a great build. I like the raised gantry and am maims mine similarity. Could you send a link where you purchase the control cabinet from. It looks perfect.
I got the control cabinet locally, a factory was selling off some of their old and unused equipment. It is made by Rittal IIRC
great job...you can build one for me....lol
yea i got it. lifting side rails up is way better than lifting y axis gantry.
Are you going to post the plans and links to the towns purchased?
Awesome build! Any way to get the plans for this?
Awesome .. I am building mine now any shop drawing that can help me ?
Stunning work... lucky Father-in-Law! (Would you like to meet my daughter?) :o)
Thank you.
I can't find the order page. ;-)
This is fuckin wicked, amazing job man.
Wow! This is a beautiful build. Where did you get that cabinet on the right of the machine?
Local manufacturing business was selling random used and unused components on facebook marketplace, got the enclosure from them and a bunch of other things (breakers, contactors, wire, etc.)
One of my favorite builds!!! What size circuit breaker for the spindle???
I used an adjustable breaker for the spindle drive and set it to whatever the FLA of the drive was.
how much did it cost to make ?great work
You don't have bearing housings for the motor end of the leadscrews? Any reason you left them out?
Excellent work.
How will you like to help me design a 48 x 96.
Wow do you have plans for this?
Looks like you did lots of cnc machining to build it?
sweeeet!!!!
Great built, can you put a link to the Nema23, is it really 1100 Oz.in!! Never found such torque in this category
I must have been recalling the specifications for the motors I had on my previous milling machine. Those were nema 34 motors at 1100oz/in.
These motors are 570oz/in, still quite powerful for a nema 23 frame and with a larger 3/8" shaft instead of the usual 1/4".

Very impressive build. What field of engineering are you in?
Software
@@ReiniGrauer I thought at least a rocket scientist!
Since you are using fusion 360 - what breakaway Card you using to interface your stepper drivers?
C11G
So 😎
did you mill that ball screw to fit. looks like you annealed to cut it down or trim it
Yeah annealed them to turn them on my mini lathe. The outer bit is very hard, the inside is just a little bit harder than regular steel.
@@ReiniGrauer you cant trick me reini :)...awesome build
@@ReiniGrauer wait you did them on a mini lathe...how the heck did you do that...do you have a spider on it?
@@minskmade spindle bore is almost exactly the od of the 16mm screw. I made a bushing for the end of the spindle and a sleeve for the chuck to clamp down on. The screws are long so I put one of the bearing blocks on the end of the screw and clamped it to the workbench so it didn't whip around.
@@ReiniGrauer awesome.
5mm screws or 10mm movement?
16mm screws, 10mm lead
Parts and wiring diagram??? 🤔
And he only has 146 subscribers 😕
Tooooooosloooooooooooow
