- An automatic tool changer for my CNC router was on my "I want it" list for over a year. Now it's done, and I love it!
I assume the question will come up where I got the tool changer. I bought it from Stepcraft.com

This project was complex but fun to build. If you want to help me make more big projects check out my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/mariushornberger
There's also additional content. Thanks to everybody who's already there.
Hey Marius. What's the toolchanger used by this build? Is this a universal solution or only available for the Hammer-Spindles? EDIT: Oh, I spotted it - it's a stepcraft one. I'd love to have one of those for a standard spindle - but I guess I would have to spend the extra 400€ for the mechatron one.
see the video description
@@MariusHornberger Would you mind posting your code for the big tool length probing somewhere? I have been dealing with this exact problem for some time now and your solution is brilliant. I am using a completely different controller so the code will definitely be different, but having a place to start would be amazing.
Nein, falls du ernsthaft Interesse hast, kontaktier mich per Mail
I would recommend having all tools use the large tool pickup path just incase a large tool ends up where it shouldn't or doesn't have the large tool tag
It's the year 2213, Marius has CNCed himself a new body, he has just completed his 3723rd version of the spoil board, definitely his best one yet.
who says he doesnt have the parts already ?
@@bazingabert3346 True, he is working on it now, hehe
😂🤣🤣😂 i've wet my pants
Time machine into the future cam
Ha ha ha
I really enjoyed the “like it’s nothing cam” (also, awesome tool changer!)
🤣🤣🤣
Wow, SMH is here. Collab vid?
@@sirculito15893 they both live in completely different countries
I was just thinking of this other yt channel called stuff made here and voila.
great seeing you here!
Marius, you are, unequivocally, an inspiration to all of us. I'm old enough to be your dad and if I lived another 3 lifetimes I don't think I could get close to your sheer brilliance in conceptualising, designing and producing. Not only that, you're presenting it all for us in a second language!! Bravo to you sir, and bravo to your parents!!
Amazing project.
Little note from a dev : You didn't need to make the distinction between a big tool and a small tool. You could just always make the big tool move even for small tools. It doesn't matter for a small tool if it makes the big tool move.
I was thinking the same thing
Marius went swiss calibration on it haha
My thought on it was if the tool changer were to fail, the large bit removal movement will throw the bit at the workpiece and damage it. Doing separate movements reduces the risk as a small bit movement will just leave the bit behind in the holder safely
Yeah I thought that too. Also wondered why he didn't put a round plate that's as wide as his widest tool on top of that measuring 'button' then the tool will always push down on the plate, which in turn will depress the measuring tool
@@Stevie_evie i'm guessing he doesn't wanna mess with the actuator of the measuring button, since if you increase its width, you're increasing the off-axis force beyond what the designer intended (also then you'd have to figure out how to attach it)
Marius, what a tremendous amount of work and great enginering. I am an engineer myself by proffesion, but seeing you do this, takes my respect. Considering, 2 years ago, you were making shelves and those little "simple" projects and now achieving this, my deep and honest respect and compliments. Only a few will do this and this demands great perseverance. You're really a champ.
Thanks a lot.
I can't imagine how much it must have cost to buy all those specialist cameras.
😆😆😆
The lathe beard was the best of them
Have to check the bank balance cam
This is the pure art of engineering. It really inspires people to start planning more advanced projects themselves. Keep going, Marius! I am looking forward to what you can do with this machine.
That is absolutely some of the best machining and engineering I've ever seen! I can't believe that Hammer hasn't reached out to you to add that tool changer to their lineup. You've done all the work, they should just pay you a huge amount and employ you full time! Amazing!
I would get that patent applied for so fast........ unless this sort of thing has been done before... ?
send them the video for him. whoever they are
@@citylockapolytechnikeyllcc7936 Lots of tool changers have been done. A simpler way for the manufacturer to do it would be to have the gantry move further back from the work area, where a fixed tool rack would be mounted. No need for the tricky retraction stuff.
Wow, you just always raise the bar, the fact you engineered this from scratch is quiet unbelievable, you are a huge talent Marius, great content and great guy, can’t wait for the new apartment over engineering vids 😜
Couldn't have said it better!
He's German, so yeah, I will fully admit that "the master race" concept was not a myth of some cookie guy 100 years ago.
Settle down, I can say that, I'm a Slav, LOL.
This was impressive and beautiful. The perfection in its purest form!
@@thunderstruck1078 above their somewhat refined social structure, the country has a good education system, which is mostly free. If you are a self motivated, highly intelligent individual with a positive attitude, you can get a lot back from this. Doesn't matter on your race.
@@berkasal4526 It matters. Not on the level of individuals, but group differences do exist. That's undeniable. Every ethnic group builds a different type of society.
Who gave the Germans a great education system? Did it fall from the sky or had they painstakingly built it from the ground up over "a millennia".
Others might disagree, but I think they simply build the best type of a society. Japanese are very similar. Like Germans of the Far East.
English and French too, but they are kinda tired of having sovereignty and self-determination, so unfortunately both of those groups are on their "way out" (not much more than a couple of hundred years).
And BTW, I think you might have misunderstood me, I never said no one else can succeed. That's preposterous and obviously false.
What did you mean by "you can get a lot back from this"? I did not quite understand that part.
Marius du bist ein Genie...
Hoffe du kannst mit dem Wissen auch in deinem Job irgendwann mal gläzen... Bewerbungsmappe brauchst du nicht , die ist ja online. :)
Phenomenal project Marius! Corporations have teams that build products like this and you did it on your own. You're a terrific engineer and not so bad comedian. :)
Echt beeindruckend was du entwickelst und in welcher Qualität du unterwegs bist. Da kann man nur ehrfürchtig zuschauen und staunen! Danke für die Einblicke und weiter so!
In my experience, projects like this are developed and tested by a team. The fact that you are the team is very impressive! Well done!!!!
sometimes too many heads is too much overhead. Maybe that's where the term comes from.
No true! His father looked from the side to ensure proper drill alignment! Duh! 🙃
Germans are the best engineers
Absolutely brilliant, and always so funny. I'd only warn of maintaining the collets every so often in case they built up with compacted dust, and begin to push the tool out - that was a problem I had at my workplace. Congratulation again on a successful upgrade.
He could use the air nozzles to blow it off every time
Thanks for the hint!
Hmm why don't just actuate a limit switch with the gantry and shift the tool rack via pneumatic?
Congratulations Marius! I've been following your work for quite some time now. Since when he made a project for the dust collector (maybe he remembers), he moved on to building his CNC and now, finishing with yet another beautiful automation in terms of care and use of technology. I want to thank you for sharing all your experiences as they have been very valuable. Congratulations on the great projects ok? BEAUTIFUL WORK!!
This is the best thing I saw on TH-cam for a while now. I wish I was able to make such an amazing upgrade on my DIY CNC. This was mind blowing
I’m sitting here with a huge smile on my face watching this amazing young man do quite extraordinary work. Your skill, ingenuity and presentation skills are a pleasure to behold. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next, though this one will be tough act to follow.
Words can't describe the satisfaction I get from watching your videos, Marius. Great project as to be expected from you, a real gem in a TH-cam landscape full of rather questionable amounts of thought and precision.
Huge congrats on this, especially saving the extra cut space in the process. You are going to save so much time machining due to having multiple size tools at one time without babysitting.
I see that this is a year old, and you've probably already thought of this, but just in case...
Use the "Big Tool" subroutine as the standard. Just do it for all the tools, eliminating several lines of code.
Install a plate on top of your tool measuring device that is slightly larger that your largest tool, then eliminate the "Large Tool Measuring" subroutine from the tool measuring process.
Wow! What a neat, practical and well thought out project, that's presented in an informative and entertaining way. Kudos to you Marius! The company that supplied your CNC should definitely hire you to design and test new hardware for their machines.
At 21:44 I really went "Daaaaamn this is cool"
Great work from a great mind. I can't believe how advanced your projects have gotten. Any workshop nerd would give A LOT to have a machine that looks and works this well!
Love it, I work at the Felder Group and I’m amazed by the ingenuity that went into this project to make the HNC even better. Keep up your amazing work!
Konsequent einfach umgesetzt was technisch maximal möglich ist!! Egal wie Steil und steinig der Weg bis zum Ziel ist! Hartnäckig bleiben, bringt einem weiter! BRAVO!
Absolutely fantastic Marius. Enjoyed every minute, and laughed, a lot, too! Love your channel, been following since the early days.
Einfach nur beeindruckend! Ich freu mich schon auf die nächsten CNC-Videos und den Tastkopf!
Glued to every second of it!... A definite "YES" to the DIY probe project please.
Thank you so much.
Awesome job Marius. I know that all your time and perserverence is worth it in the end. I have watched many of your videos in the past and have always enjoyed your content. Thanks again.
I don't even have a CNC ( but I'm researching a tiny one ) but found your video fascinating on all fronts. Thank you for making such informative and entertaining content. Cheers, JAYTEE
My father was an engineer and, like you, seemed able to make just about anything with his lathes and drills. I'm no engineer myself, and often have only the vaguest notion of what you are doing, but I am always impressed by your skill and problem solving abilities.
This is certainly one of the coolest builds I've seen for a CNC table. Well Done!
Marius, I have enjoyed watching your ingenious projects over the last two years, I have to say, this automatic tool changer is the totally cool! I cannot believe how you design, manufacture and assemble all of these wonderful innovations!!!!
Job Well Done!! Thank you!!
This is some next level engineering. Watched the whole thing because it was very interesting and well done. One note about your final test however - your before ATC cut was a one sided cut - the bit was not cutting a slot it was cutting on an edge. Your after ATC cut was cutting a deep slot. You actually expect the cut quality to be better in that scenario - the bit is essentially supported on both sides by the material leading to very little possibility of chatter. It's much more load on the spindle, but it should be a great surface finish. I have no doubt that it's much more capable now, but it wasn't an apples to apples comparison. Regardless, amazingly well done!!
Ich war bisher nie ein CNC Fan - aber das ist einfach der Hammer. Gratulation zu dem tollen Projekt und dem Ergebnis
That was a super pleasurable video to watch, alot of work but so much gain. You now have such a powerful machine to multiply your project capability
If you have 3 outputs on your board, you could multiplex them (maybe?) so that way you have 3 bits you can play with = 8 possible controls.
Cool idea, but it would only work if you only ever needed one output activated at a time. I wondered whether you could use the time dimension - essentially doing a single or double click on an output to provide two signals from each output. It's a kludge, but it might avoid a lot of mechanical complexity.
Ich finde es immer so befriedigend wenn ich sehe dass du auch bei den unscheinbaren Details immer versuchst diese möglichst gut auszuführen, egal wie unnötig diese eigendlich wären, da der Perfektionismus an den Stellen keinen Einfluss auf die Funktion hätte 👍 Bin selber ein Perfektionist, evtl sagen mir die Detailarbeiten deshalb so besonders zu :)
Danke. Wenn du wüsstest was es noch alles an Details gibt, die nicht im Video sind. Macht halt einfach Spaß
I’m not even halfway through the vid yet, but I simply have to compliment you for the genius work with how you have clipped all the video material and named the cams so far. Love the subtle hints and humor and the quality of not just your work on the project but also documenting it, is amazing!
Very impressive! I work for an automation integration company and they would be lucky to have an engineer like you. In addition your video skills are second to none. I've watched your channel from the beginning and been very impressed. You and your family should be very proud of you hard work and results.
Yes, I would like to know more about your 3D probe. Please do a video (or two) covering it if you haven't already.
Would really like to see the touch probe build, as it would improve my own workflow massively as well!
Otherwise, great job designing and building the upgrades :)
As someone who programmed coordinate measuring machines with touch probes in the past, I would be absolutely insterested to see how he created his own.
Wonderful stuff.
My old dad, who was a trained tool and die maker early in his career, would’ve been fascinated by all this, and a huge fan, Marius.
Wishing you continued success, sir.
This is exceptional and without a doubt the best ATC design I've seen - superb work well done!
Always, and I mean always, impressed Marius. You really outdid yourself this time and it is good to see the official "Marius Hornberger Engineering" taking its rightful place = )
@John Smith I saw "Marius Hornberger Engineering" just in scanning the comments, and quickly came back to see if, in fact, he had set up a company.
What is the expression? "Shut up, and take my MONEY!!!"
Excellent as always!!! Just a thought: If you used the "big tool" movement in your software for "all tools", then you could simplify your tool table (where you tell the software if the tool is big or not) by not needing that attribute. All of the tool changes would now be the same. Thanks!!
Well said!
Aha, but if he did that it would slow down normal tool changes
Amazing work. Utilising the machines own movement to actuate the tool holder was pure genius.
Marius, ich schaue deine Video´s fast seit deinen Angfängen. Mit diesem Video hast du dich mal wieder selbst übertroffen. In so jungen Jahren, soviel technischen Wissen und Können, echt Klasse! Gruß Markus
Marius, this is absolutely amazing. Out of curiosity though, for how you set up different movements for different sized bits - why not just have the tool holder move up high enough to reach the end of the holder only, then move out of the way but for all bits? As in, the movement programmed for your surfacing bit, just use that movement for all tool holder changes. I suppose the only disadvantage I can see is it taking a tad longer for standard bits.
The way things are now came from the order I wrote the code. The big tool routine would work for everything
@@MariusHornberger I was wondering the same thing. Essentially the case for the larger tools was added after the fact.
I assume the trick with length is also tied into that code which makes it a bit more difficult to streamline. Not enough benefit to do it.
@@MariusHornberger I was wondering how the big tool routine knew when to stop probing the length of the tool when it tries to detect one of the flutes on the tool, did you tell it the min length of the tool or are they all sort of the same length so you know when to retract and look for one of the other flutes?
Oh and that stop spindle and lift it above the surface routine could do both things at the same time so you could speed that up a bit too! :-)
Pressed like before seeing the video.
I’m confident it will be absolutely awesome.
First class tool changer, all that amazing work, all that editing and what am I going to praise? That's right, it has to be 'screwdriver cam' - awesome! Thank you Marius :)
With so much time and effort you put into this excellent project I hope somehow you find someone willing to offer you a commercial deal so you can get a nice return for everything you have done. You're a real talent and you deserve a reward for your efforts.
Good work Marius! :)
Awesome work!
Maybe make all tools "big tools". It doesn't harm and reduces complexity.
And most important you don't have to remember to mark new tool as big anymore.
Honestly, this is Just awesome. Congrats man! You showed more than 2-3 Times in this Video, how Happy you are with yourself and the result. And you can be proud!!!! Nice Video! Good Job! Worth watching more than one time!!
Really genius idea! The sliding-in magazine is awesome! What impressed me so much was it didn't have any external drives so slide it in. That was really great!
This is the exact type of project I have on my list once kids are a little older to help and not crawling. I should have done one back when I graduated engineering school when all my mechatronics and vibrations knowledge was fresh.
Couple items you might be able to add in the future. Prob tool each time it picks up (especially useful for tiny tooling) to verify that it’s not broken and within the length range expected. Also, now that you don’t have the need for the manual tool release lever you could develop a cover for the front of the dust chute to potentially help improve dust collection.
I implemented a tool break detection before a tool change/drop, but disabled it during the video. The dust shoe v2 is almost done. Fully 3D-printed this time.
The fact that you think of these features tells me that your tool changer will be pretty cool once you find the time for it.
@@MariusHornberger I suffer from knowing the industrial methods and over engineering stuff for home projects. Such as wanting vacuum clamping with adjustable pucks like a Format CNC machine or an CNC controlled adjustable vertical table for machining edges at various angles.
Hey Marius! For some extra soft close goodness you could get some damping grease and apply it to the linear bearings.
ToT has a great video on _rotary dampers_ that demonstrates the stuff.
Actually, I'm a moron. The gantry movement makes it soft close 😅
I actually programmed a soft close gantry movement for the last couple millimeters
This is one of the most awesome things I have seen in a long time! Congratulations on this amazing project!
It's amazing how long i have been watching this channel and you always amaze and inspire my creativity, now if i could get the guts to make videos and put myself out there... Thanks for sharing!
Amazing!! Question for you on your defining big tool small tool, would it be easier to treat all tool as big tool?
Brilliant project and the cut quality with the bits is amazing now - can't wait to see the control arm project. Also, while the 1:5 lever arrangement is impressive I'm just curious why you didn't go with an electromechanical version - I know you said that you had a lack of outputs on the controller but if you are moving the gantry back to change bits anyway then a simple microswitch would have lost you only a few millimetres in cutting space and you could have controlled a stepper motor or servo or air piston. That said the mechanical version that you can up with is pretty impressive and works great.
Cost I would think is why it's fully mechanical
@@Mage_Dragon a micro switch is like 7$
Well done young man. Thanks for sharing!
My dearest friend, you are incredibly talented and well-intentioned. You have made a clear, educational, simple explanation and a lot of effort. Health to your hands.
As a programmer i just love seeing things get animated with auto systems.
Its a weird paradox, we build our self into irrelevance, yet we regret nothing.
Cool work!

26:40 Wouldn't it be a better idea to just increase the area of the sensor? Maybe attach a bigger sensor plate at the top somehow?
That was my first intention, but would have taken more time to make a precise plate than writing the little code
@@MariusHornberger I guess you're right about that. I probably would have tried to glue a thin stiff metal disc of known thickness to the sensor.
I am really impressed! I love seeing young people tackle engineering challenges and being successful with their approach to the different issues they come upon. I retired just short of two years ago and I see so many people just stumbling around who really have never focused on a certain skill set. Then I see young people who have multiple skill sets and the desire to learn more.
Great Job young man!
I love this, less complicated than the cnc machining centers I run at work. Sometimes they alarm out during the tool change and the swing arm gets stuck, and it can sometimes be time consuming and difficult to fix. I would love to have a home workspace and do all sorts of DIY stuff like this, but alas I have neither the time, money, nor room.
Outstanding engineering skills you have Marus. You must have the patients of a saint. Anyway, fantastic tool changer build maybe some of the CNC manufacturers should get in touch with yourself as I think you have so much to offer, Thanks for sharing.
WOW! Brilliant..... I am not a wood worker, but I can understand the complexity, and I appreciate the problem solving methodology....
Just found your channel, amazing stuff, I cant get over how creative and skilled you are, kudos. Everything looks 100% professional I have watched 2 or 3 videos now and I cant wait to see more. keep it up, love the humor as well!
Marius du hast es echt drauf! Ich bin begeistert von deiner Arbeit, diese Liebe und Perfektion. Werde auf jeden Fall anfangen dich zu supporten :)
videos like these are amazing, love how technical this was
All I can say is that the video is 36 minute, 29 second and I enjoyed every second of it...
The project itself is a big challenge and you made it seem soo easy.. You are very talented and professional. BRAVO ( welldone )
Marius my man! Awesome job with this project and great edit with the video! Can’t wait to see what amazing things you make with this quite capable cnc
Nicely executed, Mr. Hornberger. Yes, well done, indeed. Your skills are well-developed, and you help us understand how demanding an Engineer's work can be, and how enjoyable, and rewarding it can be, as well. And yes, you seem to be very much enjoying Making/Crafting/Creating!! Well done.
it is really amazing to see a real smart brain in action. awesome work
This is insane. I can't even comprehand how difficult would have been. Great job!
You are a genius who build great things......Youŕe awesome.....Greetings from an electronics and telecommunication engineer from Chile! A big hug mate!
Amazing job and also documenting the process.
I've watched a couple of his videos by now.
I like his way of filming and editing his videos.
Keep it up 👍
I felt that “cool…” lol
We’ve all been so deep in a project that you can’t even really celebrate when it finally works because you’re exhausted and sort of irritated that it took this long to finally work… so the most excitement you can muster is “Oh.. cool.” hahaha
I had that reaction recently when I changed my own tire on my motorcycle and had to align the wheel and tension the chain and everything myself with no experience, half the tools I needed and no motorcycle stand… I was bleeding, sweaty, exhausted, bruised and when I finally saw everything aligned perfectly I literally went “Oh.. nice.” and I dropped my tool on the floor and went inside for a “snap”.. that’s a snack nap.
for me its "holy fuck finally"
From U.S.A
I've been watching your channel I think since the beginning. All I can say is WOW.
Awesome work
This is such an awesome project. Such a clever setup to overcome some very difficult challenges.
Nice ! True engineering and problem solving! Enjoy watching this video.
Incredible engineering and design skills! Enjoyed this episode.
Great job on this whole project! I as an engineer by profession and cnc machinist with 35 years of practice , can say you built this perfectly Id have designed this project the same way , with a great design that wasn't over complicated, but still perfectly functional , and the learning experience of troubleshooting and testing will only increase your abilities on future projects. Keep up the great work !
Being a carpenter for 40 years the only tool changer was my hands. It's so good to see these changes in wood working lol working .. work smarter not harder , great job congrats. Good to see young men like you doing what your doing thank you
I'm without words, you are the best on the world. I would like to have 1/100 of your preparation. Compliments
That's fantastic !!! Great work !!!
Just brilliant! Be proud of you and your skills. Incredible good work!!!
Das haut einen komplett aus den Socken, Das muss man mal loben. Eine top Arbeit und einfach wahnsinnig genial gelöst. Weiter so. Also das ist mal ein TH-cam Content der mega ist 👌
Marius nice project. You are a great engineer. Congrats on the completion of this project.
Wow, Not sure whats more impressive, the complexity and quality of your project, or you have so much free time for a personal just because project like this! Most of us just dream of having these machines stock! Very impressive for sure.
Amazing upgrade! I will keep this in mind when I decide to do the same to my cnc.
This is by far the most satisfying video on TH-cam!! Congratulations on your epic build.
This is AWESOME. FELDER should pay you for all the wonderful improvements you made to their CNC and offer this improved machine to the world . Felder; please, are you listening ?
First time viewer here. At a job I use to work at we had hundreds of automated machines from all around the world. By far, the German machines were always the the most precise, had the best engineering and performed operations better than anything else; Has to be part of your culture! Amazing build here, I wasn't bored for a second and you earned a new Sub...
Hi Marius, well I take my het off to you young man, that is the best upgrade of a CNC I have ever seen, I used to work and program CNC 10 times the size of yours but never the less you have done brilliantly, so well done, I will certainly watch out for more of your videos, thank you for sharing
Congratulations on your project completion, and its success.
😊👍
