Hey thank you for the video.... I purchased the WorkBee from China very similar if not exactly the same... I have had to re-do some of my work because I used the wrong screws.
Stacey - are you happy to purchase a cheaper copy (rip-off) of a British machine? Don't you think British manufacturing deserves all the support it can get? From what I understand the Workbee is a British designed routing device. I am happy to promote it here. Elsewhere in my series I feature Chinese CNC machines that are not copies as far as I am aware. Everybody screams about a fair world!!! .
@@WoodomainJeremyBroun I actually looked at the British Model and I wanted the Spindle vs the Router messaged them to see if it was available and no one would get back to me.. Thank You though!
Yes, I purchased a 2.2kw water-cooled spindle, yet to find time to fabricate some plywood mounts (video to follow). I wanted to be able to use some of my massive Trend half inch cutters. I won't know until I use it, but check out some of the Australian and USA guys, they seem less risk averse than we in the UK and increasingly the 2.2kw spindle is being used. My thinking is the extra power is there when needed and just cut a little slower to avoid the frame twisting when pushing the tool to its limits.
which one do you prefer i'm getting my workbee 1010 soon, shapeoko and workbee both have like same size of extrusion but workbee has threaded bar option which is great
@@enyoc3d don't get me wrong shapeoko is a great machine, i have been using belt driven OX type CNC for 2 years now really happy with it mine had 6mm belt shapeoko has 9mm i think so shapeoko way better machine already
@@enyoc3d yeah acme thread or ball screw are way better than belts can cut heavy materials with more accuracy, belts have like 0.05 accuracy but lead screws have 0.01
@@WoodomainJeremyBroun Its the only thing scaring me about buying one, afraid to mess it up ! when it is up and running i would think i would be more comfortable with the software to machine usage. I hope someone takes up the idea and a possible drop off point on route to the buyer !
I think the mechanical side of the build is fairly easy (Ooznest) just time-consuming. Where I am getting lost is on the computer side of connecting the machine not to mention learning the software to operate it which I hope to bypass by scanning. The manuals are very good and the technical support excellent - which I cover in my next video together with problems I have experienced.

Pro trick : you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Abdullah Daniel Yup, I've been watching on flixzone for since december myself :)
@Abdullah Daniel Yup, been watching on flixzone for months myself =)
Hi Jeremy, did you sort a spindle out for your cnc. I'm just in the process of purchasing a Ooznest? Thanks, Will

Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Looking forward to the
video.
Nice!
Thanks for shaming. I'am curious how it works.
Cutting through 18mm plywood in one pass! th-cam.com/video/UcODkska7ZI/w-d-xo.html
thanks for sharing this. i’m debating shapeoko vs workbee
which one do you prefer i'm getting my workbee 1010 soon, shapeoko and workbee both have like same size of extrusion but workbee has threaded bar option which is great
Buddhi Champika i went shapeoko just out of laziness from having to source all the details. i’m very happy with it
@@enyoc3d don't get me wrong shapeoko is a great machine, i have been using belt driven OX type CNC for 2 years now really happy with it mine had 6mm belt shapeoko has 9mm i think so shapeoko way better machine already
Buddhi Champika i think you can’t go wrong with either. my next machine will be screw or rack & pinion driven
@@enyoc3d yeah acme thread or ball screw are way better than belts can cut heavy materials with more accuracy, belts have like 0.05 accuracy but lead screws have 0.01
I think there is an potential earner for someone in the know to offer to build these for customers ! i know i would gladly pay !
That's a very good point. I am finding there is so much stuff I don't know, making it a longer build than I expected.
