Love the simple explanation of how to get started and what each step of the process does! Makes me less worried about starting a project 👍🏻
As everyone else said, this is very clearly explained in plain language, and that is probably a more difficult feat than running a CNC! Thank you
Product design online. Your content is soooo amazing!!! I’ve been following your 30 days tutorial and it’s helped me sooo much. Thanks for all your amazing content!!!
This was really great. I’ve watched about 25 others and yours was by far the easiest to follow. Thank you!
Thanks, Rhonda!
Thank you. Finally a video for beginners that a beginner can actually understand. Every ither video for beginners assumes the beginner knows far more than a true beginner actually does.
I simply want to draw tge panels to make a dovetail joined wooden box and then cut the pieces out if a sheet of plywood.
Thats all I want to learn for now but cant seem to find any video to show a beginner how to do it.
Great video. I assembled an MPCNC eight months ago and have watched a ton of CNC videos to build my proficiency with my machine. This is by far the best introduction video I've seen on the subject. In watching all these videos I've noticed one area that is seldom covered that might fit with your channel: interesting beginner projects created by knowledgeable people focused on one specific area, and using inexpensive materials, common router bits, and that mill in a relatively short time. I've had to create these kinds of projects for myself to learn and would have loved projects where I could compare and contrast my results with someone knowledgeable. I look forward to your future videos.
Hi Robert. Thanks for the suggestions! I do plan on doing several beginner projects to showcase the various CAM features/workflows. I'll definitely keep in mind the 'standard' bits and things so people aren't expected to go buy several items for one project :)
Have a good day Kevin Kennedy, I started learning solidworks to model 3d parts but as you know it was very complex as a beginner, but one day I found your youtube channel and saw that you have the tutorials for learning "Fusion 360 in 30 days" and as soon as I saw your first video, I was amazed by the very goog explanation and the part by part teaching, and because of that, I followed the videos and finished all that series, and now thanks to you, I can design all that I want to or need to and 3d print it and it is great!. Now I bought the 3018 chinese CNC and at the moment I´m using vectric aspire with it, but I think that it will be perfect to learn from you how to CNC directly from Fusion 360 as it looks something intimidating, so, please continue with this project it will be great something like a "Learn CNC in 30 days" or so and THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all the time and effort that you take to make this channel possible, not only for me but for all of us who watch your channel, you are a great great guy! Atte. Jorge
Thank you so much for clearing up some of my misconceptions. Great job!
Great instructions for a newbie like me. Thank you for the simple and understandable information! I learned a lot!
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it and with details that are easy to understand for newbs!
Sir: you are clear and to the point and after watching your video for 5 minutes, I knew that you were the person I was looking for to help a novice like me decide on choosing a CNC router and learning software. just brilliant, Thank you, very much, you need to get paid for your work.
I fully agree! He breaks it down very simply. I can't wait to watch more videos
Awesome introduction, Kevin! Thank you.
"The ice cream emoji" 😂 Awesome vid man!
Thanks, Ryan!
@@ProductDesignOnline You DO know that's not ice cream, don't you?
@@asdf35750 Rumor has it... it was supposed to be...but it came out wrong :)
@@asdf35750 It was actually designed as a chocolate ice cream emoji but well users are warped.
Actually, in Japan, thats no an icecream emoji. Dr Arale have the answer.
Excellent video. Clear, plain language demo. Excellent video work.
Very instructive and clear video on CNC for DIY. Thumbs up!
This is the best explanation I’ve heard and I’ve been binging CNC vids for a few weeks. Thanks so much! I’m now certain I want to take the plunge!
Best of luck ☺️
Wow, so much information in just a few minutes! So cool and informative!! Love it!!!🥰
Lots of videos but this one made more sense to me a s BEGINNER... assume I (we) don't know anything about design to making sawdust, yet I'm building my own CNC.
First vid I'm watching on CNC. I like it. You got a sub
I didn't know anything about cnc.your video was great full for a beginner like me.thank you❤️🙏🏻
This is a great introduction to CNC. Thanks for sharing.
Best Vedio for beginners .
Thanks for the clear explanation ❤️
I a CNC programmer and you explain that in a awesome way! .. very recommended
Thanks, Gamal! What machine(s) do you operate/program for?
Excelente video instructivo para iniciarse en el mundo del cnc!!!
That was the easiest explanation I’ve heard. Thanks for the tips. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. I’m an old dog and hoping to learn new tricks!
Great info. I am trying to find one that explains the tool paths. Like what is a peck?
Hi, Thanks for such a comprehensive video👌👍
Awesome video - thanks for posting!
Very educating . Helpful in every aspect . Thank you so much for this video . If you have any more . Keep them coming !!
Thanks, Mike! I'll be doing more :)
This is a huge help for me. Thank you.
It will be a very useful video series for me...i'm building a Workbee CNC router....thanks a lot Kevin
Absolutely great video ! Helps this newbie a lot ! Thank you.
Thanks, David! Glad to hear that.
I have been contemplating getting a CNC as they really peak my interest, yet I really know absolutely nothing! In doing my usual research, I came across your video and found it so refreshing and informative as a total newb! You now have a subscriber and I look forward to beginning my journey with you!
It's really not hard once you learn a bit about it. Just take your time reading and watching videos, double check everything before you run a program and watch your first couple parts get cut.
Great video! I ordered a Bob’s Evo 4 and am trying to learn some basics before it arrives. Thanks for breaking this down for us!
Loved this tutorial.. you made it learnable.. lol
You've just gained a new subscriber.
Learned a lot from this, thanks!
New sub here and excited to watch all the other videos on cnc’s. We are looking at buying one and I’m overwhelmed by all the info that makes not much sense. But your video has helped already.
Phantastic, all was said.
Very good video. I used youtube videos to learn how to operate a hobby level "WorkBee" CNC machine 3 years ago. I use Photoshop to design and VCarve to trace my lines and create G-code. The company I now do work for uses two of these entry level machines in their workshop. We use them to both personalise and more importantly speed up part of the manufacture process of high quality wooden garden gates which are sold online. For me it has become a full time job and just love doing this work.
Again, Well Done
thank you for this, very well explained and I didn't have any problems understanding what you were communicating, thank you very much :)
Very informative!
I’m considering an education in cnc carpentry, but got sort of scared off thinking it was super complicated. Thank you for simplifying it :)
I have had my Longmill CNC fo about 7 months. It has really made my project a lot better and faster. Not that hard once you get into it.
I'm glad youtube fed me your video. I had no idea this was a multi step process. I thought it just jumped from CAD to the machine somehow.
The best VIDEO ever. Great work
Very useful video for cnc machine beginners 😊
Awesome! Glad I found you. You've got me as a subscriber. Continue the great work!
Thanks!
After watching the video, i have only one thing to say, I Love you sir.
thank you this is very educative 👍
This is the only video I actually understand😄
I’m talking to a girl who said she wants to try CNC so I’m doing some research very educational thank you
I really liked how you explained. Also adding the vocabulary helped alot
Thanks, Dale!
Great stuff, just finished building my MPCNC and is looking for Fusion 360 CAM tutorial videos.
Very clear and helpful 👍👍
This is the first time I've seen one of your videos and it is much more easier to comprehend than any other I've came across since purchasing my shapeoko back in 2019. Thank you for making it so understandable because I may be more knowledgeable than most people I personally know, but what they don't know is I don't learn the shit I know from people like Winston Moy lol. When I first came across him I almost started slobering trying to understand just WTH he was saying lol. You earned a like and sub from me and I will be watching more of your content.
nice video! good to clear alot of things for beginners ,and reduce the fear to own a CNC machine, i liked this very much, but 2.5D is something more advanced than you described! 2.5 D is close to 3D but with using the bit parameters and how deep can it go or behave into material in reference of the design or victors you made!
Yet its a useful and awesome video!
i wish i can explain things the way you did, when i train my clients!
👌👌👌👌👌
Hey! Could I request for a video on making a benchy? I just wanted to hear your thoughts process. Your videos are amazing !
Your videos are quite helpful!!!
Can you make a video on importance and usage of python in the mechanical field
Great video! Really helped me understand CNC basics. Excited to start my own projects now! 🔧
Glad to hear that! Which CNC machine do you have (or plan to get)?
Thanks, very helpful!
Thanks mate, great video!
clear explaination, thank you
Helpful vid. Thanks for posting. Subscribed but still on the fence about investing in a machine.
awesome content!
super narration. i like it
complete noob to the cnc machine world and i just learned more in this 9 minutes than i have in the last couple days searching up videos on the matter. You've def made it very simple to understand with clear instructions on the process. I'm eyeing the onefinity or the ooznest workbee. Which do you think is the better buy? each have a couple months lead time.
GREAT video. Thank you very much.
Great video!
nice work!
this is wonderful
Love your Videos - Would like to see more videos on hobby woodworking cnc. I have fusion 360 so it would be preferable to purchasing Vcarve or Carveco
How do you like your LongMill after using it for an extended period of time? Is there anything you would recommend (or not recommend ) about it? thanks
All 3 so we can see what it do an you explain what they do, your teaching me. ( nice)
it is a very nice tutorial, i am had built my own cnc router, i believe that your instructions will be welcome, thanks
Thanks! Happy carving :)
You’re a talented instructor, nice vid
I appreciate that!
Wow... it's wonderfull explanation... i hope you increase more tutorials for CAM and CNC Project....i always looking forward for your new video...👍👍i'm your subscribers from indonesian
You are the best in tutorials
Thanks, Hasan :)
Nice Lesson
I wanna know more. Question: which or what kind of motor do I need to cut or shape stainless steel? And where can I find them?
Nice! I have subscribed to your channel, I have a channel my self where I work on Car Audio projects using a router table and Different kinds of bits but there is only so much I can do with the router on a table lol! So I've been looking at one of these CNC things to see if this would work out for me to make my custom sized speaker rings and amp racks better but out of ABS plastic and acrylic. I use wood too but the other 2 materials are my main use.
Great video
This was great. And cleared alot up for me.
Glad to hear that, Jon! What types of projects are you looking to CNC?
I'm wanting to build my own diy router. I cant justify spending the money when I know that I can build it better in my own shop. It has been hard to settle on a configuration, with all the different options available.
And I'm wanting to learn everything. As far as projects go, making a business out of it in the future.
Thank you!
Hello, wanted to ask about lead screw. Why do we need bearings while the lead screw is attached to the coupler and stepper motor, isn't the stepper motor and the coupler plus the housing, enough for the stability of the lead screw or in other words, what is the purpose of the lead screw bearing ? to cnc router ?
can you drop a link for feedrate en this like that for different materials i cant find them like in the video like the list in the cam part please
This was recommended by my basic mechanical practice course professor 😁
I like this step by step tutorials
Any online class to get more information about CNC machine
I do offer an 'Intro to CAM' course on the PDO Academy - academy.productdesignonline.com/
are you sure that is " ice-cream " emoji 😂
This is a pretty good primer for the future desktop CNC hobbiest. It skipped over the Control part other than to very briefly discuss GRBL. I would like to have also seen LinuxCNC in there. Which is ideal for the hobbiest IMHO. Also how about as a next video a review of 100% free software toolchain products? The cost of software from the hobbiest can come as a shock.
good info thanks.
Love the video.
Is there any video to learn about the basic working of cnc laser machine (co2)
Problem - Have designed a "shoe box" and have no problems machining the pocket from the top etc. BUT when I try to produce the g code to machine a pattern I have on the bottom of the box the post processor still wants to work from the top position. So how does one redefine the Z axis to machine the bottom? Your great videos have go me this far but I could not find an answer to this problem.
I have CAD experience but no CAM experience. To date I have been using SolidWorks to generate 3D models that I've saved as STL files for 3D printing. I'm planning on getting a CNC Router but I've seen very little discussion of CNC Router users making use of SolidWorks CAM. I see far more discussion regarding Fusion360 or Vectric's Aspire. Is there a reason for this? I'm starting with CAM from ground zero and I'm wondering if I should put my energies into learning SolidWorks CAM (a package I already have) or if I would be better off starting to learn Fusion360 or Aspire? I see you have a highly praised collection of Fusion360 tutorial videos and I'm very tempted as I am just not seeing that level of resource available for teaching myself SolidWorks CAM. Any advice? I'm wanting to make an informed decision but feel I don't know enough about any of the CAM packages to know which I should go with.
You are an amazing teacher! Did you study education in college?
Hi PDO, thanks for quite a helpful video. I am wondering if you'd recommend any CNC machines for a budget user, under $500?
Check out sainsmart website
good job

I am about to enroll for a 2 month CNC machine operating course. Do you think two months is enough to be a CNC operator?
man and u r fucking amazing , idk what to say justt you are the man for the right time , god bless you
Hi , please can you help....I'm looking to machine some detailed parts out of 3mm thick copper sheet and would be really grateful if you can recommend the best, but cost effective grade...I've narrowed down to c111 copper/sulphur alloy vs c145 tellurium/copper alloy? Please note that I must use copper, not brass. Many thanks in advance, Luke
