Thanks Roger i have been waiting for a long time for you to do something like that can't wait
Looking forward to following you on what sounds to be an exciting journey.
Welcome aboard!
I've watched a few of your videos using your big beast machines, and was thinking of getting a starter for myself. Your views as an expert will be invaluable before I splash the cash, even on a cheaper device. Thank you so much! I will look for further tips on little upgrades to make it more capable.
Thank you for the extra effort, and sharing the information. It is very much appreciated.
My pleasure!
this sounds awsome i cant wait for these series to lift off. i will be there for the journey all the way

Very nice video sir, thank you for the hard work, excited for those series of new videos.
Very excited for this new series. Just got my 3018 combo.
I'm very excited about this new series. I've been thinking about getting one of these small cnc machines for a while. Can't wait.
Great to hear!
Thanks Roger, I have been wanting to dip my toe in the CNC water but was worried by the cost.
Now I can watch what you show us and learn from a very experienced CNC user.
I have subscribed.
You, sir, have just earned yourself a subscriber. Wife permitting, ill be buying these items and following along. I used to be a machinist before moving into the office, and i own a 3d printer, so this is right up my alley.
Looking forward to the series!
I’ve built five Cnc routers. It’s been a lot of fun. Not saying mine are as good as some you other guys are using. Glad to see more able to get into it for a great price.
Cute little machines
Looking forward to them
Just bought mine. Hope to start turning in the next couple of weeks.
Hope you enjoy it!
Sounds good and looking forward to it! I just turned an old 3D printer into a cnc (video on my channel) and there were certainly issues 😂 I suspect that what you come up with will be significantly better :)
So excite to learn Thks for your content n time . 40yr Female Veteran looking for a hobby .
exactly like my project :D cool
It's good to see that you're going to hit this market segment, as not everyone can afford even a $500 ebay 3040.
There's not many videos out there covering these bottom dollar CNC machines, and both what they "can" do, and what they can be made to do.
As it sits I see these 3018 pro's out there with the dustguards on the sides, yet for the life of me, I can't figure out WHY they didn't tie these guards into the uprights and stiffen up the entire frame.
Hell they're cutting the acrylic on a laser.....putting in a handful of holes and a couple of clearance cutouts out would been a trivial matter.
Very interested in seeing your viewpoint on this subject.
Thanks !
Welcome!
Roger this sounds absolutely fantastic, I can't wait is there anything we should buy or do in preparation? Thanks for your hard work. Jason
Hi Jason, lets see how it all goes
Just found these videos and I’m getting hooked?
Do you list where you purchase your bits??
I have looked for 3018 machines but don’t want to end up with a cheaper product :-)
Roger this may work out better for me than buying a laser only CNC machine so waiting with baited breath to see how this turns out
Looking forward to this series! I do think you'll find that laser woefully under-powered. Unfortunately it seems the latest trend in marketing these things is to list the input power, and not the optical power, So that 5500mW laser is actually more like 2000mW on the output. Having said that, it will still etch and cut some materials.
Hi there roger, I have a industrial cnc router but am finding that laser cutting is going to enable me to cut smaller material for dolls houses ect. so could you recommend a diode laser that would be able to cut 5mm mdf or is that taking the diode technology to the limits. I have found cutting 6mm is all good but 3mm (which I would require Laser for) is going to enable me to actually start making kits and hopefully start to make some money). Btw love your tutorials
Fanstastic information, but just new to the game , I baught a second hand cnc 3018 perfect condition , but it only has the routher cutter with it, I think the laser cutter would suit me better , but I don’t know what to order or where to order it from , could you help me with any information on that roger , would be very grateful, thank you and keep up the great work. Tom,
Following!
That rooster though.
You want to put links for the cnc machine into the video ? Thanks !
Roger I think your idea is brilliant. I have been running a small Bravapology machine for years with zero issues. BTW this machine is still being sold by Baileigh in the US but it's crazy expensive @ US$1795. The motor is only 40W coupled through a mechanical sleeve to the collet. I have pushed the machine cutting hardwoods. Mind you I keep my feed speeds down and shallow cuts but it works. Putting a 500W motor on your machine makes me wonder if you will be able to stiffen up the frame to make use of that power.
Hi, I will be fitting a 300 watt motor, and yes the 500 watt is way to big.
The roster want to come inside.
There are already many free stl parts on thingivers and grabcad for this machine , i am making my own at the moment , so i hope you can make a better version than those if you want to charge money for it , never the less good luck.
Hi Roger, really looking forward to this series. It would be nice if the laser could end up cutting thin-ish acrylic parts for maker parts (but understand that could be a stretch). Just as a thought, would that acrylic cutting be able to be achieved with multiple passes or are they such that the focal length would get out of whack as the cut progresses?
We will see!!
I just got my unit last week. I paid $170.00 US and it came with no instructions or documentation of any kind. I built it from looking at the picture. But now I hoping that you will show me how to get this thing working. I have know idea how to set this up in M3??
Is that the wind???
Is that a rooster going nutz in the background?
Roger, good morning I am looking at building a CNC for the local RSL men shed if we ever get to go again. Can we still get these machine to Australia mate? Stay safe and looking forward to a reply.
Yes, you can get this 3018 CNC machine from, Ebay, Gearbest, Banggood and Amazon, etc.
Why no links to the laser or CNC you bought?
First! 🙃
Hi Roger what's your opinion on having the 500w motor on the 3018 plus due to it being more ridged than the 3018 pro
300 watt max
It's not what you think about machines that matters! It's what the machines think of you!

Why have you not provided links to this cnc ,alternate motor /lazer and power supply?
eBay Australia
Dear Mr Roger, I just started to make LED NEON signs. Now most neon signs are on a Plexiglass base (or some other plastic base) and the letters/text is carved in the plexiglass and the neon is placed in the carved Pglass. (nice and straight)
Now Some pieces are pretty big (yesterday made one 175 cm long x 30 cm and will not fit those small machines. Is there any way you might know I can do/use/buy without breaking the bank (just started 2 weeks ago) A CNC machine with frame won't work, unless it's a MONSTER of machine which I can NOT buy ($$) Maybe you know how to, or have an idea how I can solve this problem. I tried to do it without carving the plexiglass but the text looks like I am drunk. Hope you have a solution for my problem. Obviously anyone who can help me...please don't be shy..I can use all the help possible. Thank you.....
If I learned how to do this can I make some money with it. I am 74 on a fixed income and looking for a way to supplement my income. thanks
Yes you can! have a look at my channel
hi, can you give me the exact motor model that you bought?

Where can I get one of those hat's?
Lol
I was being serious too.
I like the hat mate😎😎😎
Melbourne Australia airport ;-))
@@rogerwebb9600 Thank you I'll try find one
Where did you get this stuff from for those prices?

@@rogerwebb9600 You mean ever where you purchased the 3018 and the laser from?
Why not doing it from scratch? it would be cheaper and you can do it with improved design!! not everyone can access does CNC so build in from scratch would be more worldwide
That is what I will be doing, I need to build it, test it and see what needs modifying to make it a better CNC machine
This bloke does not answer Emails.
O YES I DO!!!
But I do get over 1000 per day
@@rogerwebb9600 How do you get now, 2 years later? I just ordered one of this and binge watching lots of 3018 vids. Wife Paypaled it in four payments, so I will be using it for $75-150 before fully payed for.
