    Got my 1Finity woodworker 50 delivered last week. waiting on 1/8" collect before making 1st projects. Enjoy your channel.

    For those of us who live in close proximity to neighbors I would absolutely recommend you consider a proper enclosure. When designed well it can drastically decrease the noise pollution that your machine creates, especially the more higher pitch resonances. As a bonus feature, you will also contain more mess that your dust extraction system fails to collect plus you will be safer in case your work piece explodes or a large bit comes flying out of your spindle at 16K rpms. If shopping for a good quiet vacuum the Dewalt StealthSonic is about the best value out there at under 70 DBA for under $200, my local Lowes store sells them

      They are EXPENSIVE, but the Festool dust extractors are fairly quiet too… I recommend a VFD spindle too. They are pretty quiet. You can carry on a conversation without yelling, while standing next to it. With the extractor and VFD, I can’t hear the CNC in the next room (and for sure can’t hear it outside my garage)… I do agree that an enclosure would be good too.

    I have the same sanding discs - they, along with a Rikon sander (nuts... I wish I'd thought of using my drill!) have been a real game changer. Best CNC accessories I've bought near the end of my first year CNCing!

      Got it set up and running! Thoughts on Carveco Maker? Got a free year with the CNC. Tried Easel and carbide create (free versions) and they didn’t impress. Carveco has been good so far. Learning how clueless i am lol! Lesson one - i thought dust collection was a luxury. It’s a necessity. Especially when surfacing a spoilboard.

    I have a cheap harbor freight air powered 2" dual action orbital sander that uses the sanding discs that you had on your list. The sander is so much nicer, if you have an air compressor, for sanding than the drill. It works great on small trays.

    Good information... Cnc's are not cheap I bought one and thought yea this is awesome ..... Until I found out need a laptop need bits need software need to learn the software I thought 2,000 for the cnc and i can start making haha nooooo. Another 2grand and u can lol..... Im making stuff now and the best part is i don't have to worry about my electric going out when they shut it down from being overloaded.... Keep it up brother newbies need to know all about it..

    Definitely a great machine. For hold-downs, I've been using the ca glue method and a 23g pin nailer for quite some time. My go-to is the nailer at least 90% of the time. Much more affordable than ca glue. Oh yeah, get the controller. You will not use the screen ever again to move your machine!

    • @SothpawDesigns
      @SothpawDesigns  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup, I’m gonna get the controller. Don’t really know why I haven’t already. Everyone tells me it’s so much easier to use

    • @SothpawDesigns
      @SothpawDesigns  ปีที่แล้ว

      The nailer is a good idea. Don’t know why I hadn’t thought about that. And you’re right, the tape and glue gets expensive, and time consuming with larger projects

    • @SothpawDesigns

      I thought about that, but with the inflation craziness these days, the prices would be obsolete in no time. Instead, I provided links for each, which shows up to date pricing.

      @thepennystalkerchannel5160 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SothpawDesigns well the prices are changing but that Will actually make it a time stamp of how much things cost at the moment of making the video, or what you paid, I mean this videos are going to be forever and is nice to know what was going on in this particular era.
      I like when they add up the prices/cost along with the sound of the cash register.

    • @SothpawDesigns
      @SothpawDesigns  ปีที่แล้ว

      True, but I'm not trying to make a time stamp, my hope is to make something that is informative and relevant outside of the immediate time it's posted. I considered doing what you suggested when I was first making this, but decided against it for that reason. Since these videos will remain online indefinitely, I feel that they should be relevant indefinitely. I appreciate your feedback though.

    • @SothpawDesigns
      @SothpawDesigns  ปีที่แล้ว

      It may be a good idea in the future to do both though. To include the prices, but also include links so that viewers can see current prices, and to remind folks of that. Good ideas.
