I'm used to larger, corded routers th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.
Love this book! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!
Mistake #8: Cutting your hair with a CNC router
So, this is actually a great and very informative video! Everyone having fun with my comment should at least vote a thumb up for the video, pls.
great video, sorry just had to laugh about this comment. Thanks
🤣
You made me laugh. 👍
quite possibly the funniest comment ever...!!
Hahaha😂
I have been running a machine commercially for 2 years now and still feel like I have no idea what to charge, some jobs go so easy and others a very difficult! I have learned that even though the machine is "doing all the work", learning how to use it properly and efficiently is also a huge undertaking. Thanks for the tips, probably a little late for me but hopefully others are smart enough to start here!
After my first year with my CNC I found myself in every mistale you mentioned. And I just had to go through it, like you said. Very helpful Video, thank you!
Im ordering my cnc in the next week. And im glad ive been a cnc machinist for almost 20 years and a lot of what you said translates from machining steel to working with wood. Good advice. Cant wait to start making stuff
Thanks for that. I'm new to hobby level CNC machining with wood so I had no idea about those types of bits. Much appreciated.
Excellent work. I'm retired and ordered a 4x8 CNC kit. I know it's an ambitious decision to build since I have zero CNC experience but, I figured what better way to learn my machine. I'm hoping that it may help diagnose machine issues that may arise later. This video was very informative and well presented . Direct, to the point, and no annoying music. Keep 'em coming.
How’d it turn out for you?
Unfortunately I've been tied up with car projects and my art business that I haven't started yet.
its a year on, did you go with the CNC in the end? how did you get on? Im considering getting an 8x4 machine myself @@ravenartsandgraphics4456
Just making a research on CNC machines and saw this very informative video. It's must watch before running CNC. Thanks a lot.
Nice detailed video. I've watched a lot of CNC videos, as I hope to eventually add one to my shop. This is the first one that covered these types of issues. I'd be interested in seeing your CNC machines and talk about what you like and don't like about each.
CNCing for over a year. Wish I'd seen your video when I started. Thank You.
just started looking into it. hows it going?
Hello!!
Great Video and you nailed it in regards to accepting mistakes, and learning, then moving forward. I have been in CNC for 25+ years, and as a machinist I understand speeds and feeds, the hardest part for me is getting used to working with wood, (0.005" tolerance doesn't exist in woodworking! and thank God for Wood Filler ) I have built a hobby machine and am making signs. and such for friends and family. My hardest thing is putting a price on the fun side of it, which is the creating. Cutting is fine, but taking an photo and carving it is the fun challenge for me, and also the fun. I look online to get comparisons from others so I have been using that as a price gauge. So far I know have been charging less as I am very gratified to see peoples reaction, but as retirement is getting closer, I would like to figure out what are realistic charges I should be making.
Thanks again and I will be watching your channel.
Excellent video! I have just got myself a hobby cnc 3018 machine and will keep in mind of how to not to make the mistakes you pointed out.
Superb video, very informative - well done! Keep them coming!
I'm somewhere in the middle of learning basics of cnc and some of this stuff was very useful thanks!
Just starting out. Great video. Many Thanks.
I've been a contractor in the painting industry for 40 years still doing the work only because I can't teach anyone what I've learned and tweeked sometimes I don't know how I even do it if you love what you do it's not work I love to keep learning the mind is a beautiful thing
Thank you so much. Needed one place to understand all the things you mentioned. On top, nicely done. Two thumbs up!!!
Very well explained! Thank you!
Great instructional video on mistakes..im getting ready to purchase my first cnc and your video just cleared alot of spider webs in my head thank you
Hilarious scream you built into your presentation - it made me laugh and I‘ll never forget it once it happens to me again!! 😅😅😅
Thanks Buddy You Explained it very well
Enjoyed you perspective, Thanks and Gig"em
So awesome! Love it. Thank you.
Perfect video for me to watch before getting my CNC next week. Thanks and GIG EM, brother
Great Vid!! Loved it !! Cheers.
really helpful thank you so much!
Excellent video for beginner in wood CNC milling. I make all 7 mistakes from video when beginning hobby CNC mill woodworking. I learn it personaly at hard way.
Thank you , I get my first machine in September so this was great, it’s the cad/cam side I’m really nervous about.
Haw can I do to bye it
You've shared the video at the right time. I will need more information since am working on a DIY CNC router.
@@cutting-it-close am waiting to watch it
Great video, thanks. Enjoyed the screamer.
Great tips, thanks man
Great Job!
Thanks....for giving valuable information
Just found your channel. Interesting.
Thank you I have learned so many things from your video
Very interesting and clearly explained basics for CNC learners...like myself !!!
I loved the endmill example with Fred. Great visual!
Love your videos! Keep it up👍
Extremely well done without too much unexplained jargon. The cost calculations alone are worth watching this vid. multiple times especially since machine use time vs machine investment, Include dedicated work space, bits, materials for learning, final product material storage for material and possibly sound reduction in the work room. Then how does a retired non machinist price his/her time?
Thanks for this video. I have been machining some UHMW and the bit was screaming...I thought I was pushing it too fast! Quite the opposite. Good to know!
Thank you so much. I learned so much from this video.
How not to videos are just as valuable as how to vids. Good work.
Great video. I'm looking into buying my first CNC and cutting some graphite
Muito bom parabéns 👏👏👏
I must also agree very well done thank you…… I also have no experience, but I’ve always wanted to learn CAD and Cam
So much that my kid got an opportunity for an apprenticeship where his license through the state now and has been machining for 15 years so I do have a great support system … but your video was awesome so thank you for the information
Thanks for sharing your knowledge im just getting into the cnc world and found this helpful, only complaint is would be nice to of seen a visual example when explaining what all the different drill bits do
Great Video, very informative and motivating 👍 subscribed
Thank you very much for sharing this. Super helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice job! subbed
Very HELPFULL video...
Thanks!
hey buddy i really appreciate your time, thanks alot for all those very useful knowledge and was very helpful and you are awsome
@@cutting-it-close honestly very rare people will do what you have done for some one like me and for that I have to thank you,
Thanks for sharing these👍🏼
Thanks for advice
Nice video. Thanks for the info. I am never sure of my speed and feed. I carve MDF which just makes dust. I carved some Maple with half inch end mill shaping cut. Chips flew and it was obvious that the feed was matching the spindle speed, but I don't see this with smaller bits.
I have been watching you for a little while now. You’re doing more than sharing tips on cnc and the business of cnc, you’re sharing Business. I like that a lot about you. I think it’s important to stay on your niche and work toward CNC crowd, but you definitely need to be doing some business targeted content on a channel for that, too. If you already do, I would love to go learn there as well. Thanks for you effort bro. Don’t forget to thumbs up my comment and reply with your thoughts about it, it helps so much. Liked, subbed, and belled.
Awesome video!
Informative
Dude you are legit, I just found your video
I’ll learn more from you
Saludos desde West Coast
Great tips. Thanks. Gig "em '86. That ring stands out. :-)
Thanks for the great tips
Noticed your Aggie Ring. Howdy from Kansas. Whoop! Class of '86.
I’d like to introduce you to Glenn from the comment below!!
Whoop
Howdy from Indiana! BQ ‘85. Whoop!
Hey Glenn can I introduce you to Tom from the comment above.
Whoop!
I was a CNC tech at a university for a while and getting back into it now with a beefy 4x8 machine from Industrial CNC. If you get the chance to cover general feeds and speed with specific materials breakdown, that would be amazing! Also, Love these videos! Is there a way to help support?
Very informative video. Nice way of explanations makes some things very clear. I would like to see some tips of yours regarding feeds and speeds.
@@cutting-it-close Cheers buddy thanks a ton!!!
Like for "screaming"! Made my day )))
keep your videos coming!
Thank you very much
Good video.
Considering this. I want to say thanks to people who design, test and list every bolts nuts so beginners can start it out. Learning curve is painful, time and money costly
Thank you
Excellent video. Where were you 5 years ago? 😂. Great job!
greetings from me, cnc youtuber from Indonesia
very very helpful
Great video and directions, I plan on getting a router over the next month. I am currently working with a co2 laser with LIGHT Burn. Do you work with lasers? I would like to see that video. SUBSCRIBED
Broke my bit today. What can be great video? About bits. Its life time, different materials? Low end, high end, sime special ones? Thank you for your effort
Very helpful. I am about to buy a piranha xl from an individual. He wants to keep the software that came with it v-carve. Could I download to usb and use it that way? Don't I need the software that comes with it, or do I just use easel or equivalent. Deal breaker? Thanks
Great video.. 👍
Thank you for the video. Super helpful!
Question - Can cnc machines use a 1/8” Bullnose router bit to de-edge and de-corner rectangle 1/8” polycarbonate?
Would this bit run into the cnc table? Would the material need to be raised up off the table?
Thank you for your time!
Superb excellent
Nice
Very good video. All wheat and no chaff.
Good advise here thanks. I am not new to CNC machining but I am new to the small machines. I recently purchased a Sainsmart 4040 pro and I am having trouble with chatter. I am cutting 1/4" Hickory and Walnut with bits from 1/8" up yo 1/4". So far I have had the best luck with a 3/16" single flute up cut tool. I am starting to think that the supplied spindle needs to be replaced with a heavier duty model. Any advise you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the video, will do my first cut with my first CNC machine next week. Believe you have saved me some headache, time and money :) Keep up the good work! Oh one thing though, the audio wasn't great so you might want to look into that.
Haters gon hate
@@chrisreynolds2410 Huh?
Problem of Running to slow. If you have a hobby machine it is not good to slow down the rpm cause the spindle is probably to weak, Same if you increase the feed rate. For beginners with hobby machines i would recommend to buy single flutes endmills, which allows to run them with high rpm and slow speeds with the right feed rates. This helped me the most
Awesome video. Is there a way the jig can be made without a drill press?
Have you got a video showing the computer design process, & then taking that file to the cnc via usb?
A nice video, but are you using for lubricating garage door lubricant only? Don't you need to use grease for ball screws and oil for linear guides?
Very Nice
Great video... Gig’em ‘93
great video. I have a Laguna IQ and it's worked pretty much trouble free for 7 yrs now. Unfortunately, I accidentally "Wiped the Cache" on the hand-held controller and lost my Pulse Equivalent settings. Apparently Laguna customer service isn't open on weekends :( Any chance you could tell me what the Pulse Eqiv. settings are in the controller of your IQ?? They should be what mine are supposed to be. Thank you!
what are your thoughts on the avid cnc line? I'm currently debating between the laguna IQ 2x4 and the avid PRO6060 5' x 5? This is my first cnc and I'm looking to grow it into a full time business but would like to spend between 10-20k.
Can u tell us what are u making? Like everyday jobs..
Thanks for this video.. It's helpful 👌
Hello,
I'm a newbie and at the end of your video strangely I've though exactly the opposite of what you were saying. "Speed up your RPM or slow down your feed rate..." to avoid friction as you said in the case of running the bit too slow
If your bit is spining too fast the cutting edge gets round for the next cut before the machine moved enough to present new material so it rubs on the already cut surface creating friction and heat, when cutting speed is correct the heat is carried away by the swarf and away from the bit, you can see this better when cutting metal. Check out the temperature of your swarf you will find its a lot warmer than the piece your cutting. I think he meant moving too slow for the rpm on the machine.
@@incubatork Ok, got it thanks Derek.
Wondering what u think of vision CNC thanks
Nicely presented! Thanks!
Great job brother! You are an excellent teacher. BTW: Amazon should sponsor you. :-). Thanks for the great advice. I’m your new favorite subscriber. :-)
Hi, It's great, I'm a biggener what cnc machine you recommend for me
How do up-cut bits tear at the material, if you use a chamfer bit for the paths first? Like leaving a 1mm chamfer after all paths are complete... Is tear out at the top a problem in plywood?
