Thank you for Watching! Tune in next week for more videos :) - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
this guys is really under rated for the quality of video he ouputs.
That looked much different than the first time I used my CNC. I ruined 3 4'x4' sheets of plywood and broke about 5 bits before I figured out how to use the thing properly. Congrats on the new machine, it looks awesome and I can't wait to see what you do with it.
Damn, Rob. I see you everywhere nowadays 👌🤣
@@Thamli well i am on 3 bits now and they are expensive where i am from
Have you heard about the plastic nails?
They are really useful for fixing wood at the cnc table because if you run into them with the drill, nothing breaks.
or Lignoloc's wooden nails :)
I also like using brass screws, which are soft enough for 1/4” HSS bits to plow right through.
I my so disappointed he did not make it his self like I really recommend he did a 3D print one like this TH-cam channel th-cam.com/video/7rqj-6HgWz4/w-d-xo.html
I have the Omer composite nailer and it's amazing. If you don't have a vacuum table, it's a killer solution for sheet goods.
$8000+ CNC router? Wow. Nice compensation. Avid CNC seems to be doing a lot of that lately.
Have fun with it!
As soon as you said where you were going to put the CNC I thought, "That couch will be covered in dust by the end of the video" -fast forward to --13:58- "Yep, that´s it"
And I thought, "There's no way he's going to be chilling on the sofa when it's running"
You could take some inspiration for the dust shoe from Marius Hornberger
Your wine rack should be designed where the wine slopes toward the cork.
I love how you said it wouldn’t hit the screw they it makes a b line strait towards it, lol, great video
Yeah. A perfect spot to sit and chill on the couch beside the noisy CNC Machine. Love it :)
when i was working as a robotic programmer, we always had these aluminium frames in our working halls. I remember how often i hit my head while programming the actuators, because i had to sit under the whole construct. Was a fun time though
I’ love my Avid machine! My Avid CNC is on an island…Avid was wonderfully helpful.
You should do a video on 80/20 framing. The best part about them is that you can order custom lengths from their website without much hassle.
The laser cutter is going to get jealous. Can't wait to see what you make with this huge machine. Make a big floor standing plywood robot model.
Subscribed to Kiwico for our 12 Year Old. Hope he turns into you now...
It's like a giant Lego technic set!
Or a grown-up version of an Erector set. (Actually had nuts and bolts.)
just a fyi; the wine bottles are supposed to lay with the cork down, so that they don't become dry and let air into the bottle ;)
otherwise cool project
Nice! Regarding the sacrificial base, you might actually want to make it slightly smaller than the full cut range of the machine instead of bigger. When it comes to leveling and resurfacing it, you'll start to just turn it into a large pocket or dish, so when you come to cutting material larger than the cut capacity, it won't be able to sit on the level base, but instead float on the rim now left.
Also, as others have said, a plastic Brad nailer is a massive time saver. I believe avid cnc sell one. You need to use the specific composite gun as the nails don't work in a normal nailer. But it doesn't chew up your base board like screws,gum up your cutters like double sided tape or get in the way of a tool path like clamps. All it takes to remove the piece from the bed is a sharp whack with a rubber mallet on one side and all the nails sheer off!
Look forward to seeing your dust collection! I've gone through many variations myself!
The point about the sacrificial board getting a rim after a while is a great input!
(Mostly answering so this comment gets bumped up)
You can use a large-diameter surfacing bit to level the table outside the normal cutting area. Keep in mind that a larger diameter bit requires more precise tramming, or you can wind up with stair steps on your "flat" table.
Defo! I use quite a hefty 50mm diameter surfacing bit with 3 carbide inserts. But I guess with the current sacrificial board he has installed, as it goes from edge to edge of the gantry, it'll always have a raised edge that a larger cutter would never be able to reach.
The CNC looks amazing and is pretty big, congrats to that nice piece! I'm building the one from uncle Phil right now. For those who are interested the plans are for free on his homepage but it's everything in German.
Great video👍
That's amazing, always learning with your videos, glad for your new toy 👌👌👌
Always nice to see how your camera crane upgrade the quality of your vids. Keep pushing man, regards from Rio de Janeiro 💪
Can't wait to see what cool stuff you can do with this! Some advice from a fellow CNC user that was helpful for me when I was adding my wasteboard. If you're planning on doing parts longer than the dimensions of your machine, better to treat the working area of your CNC like an island rather than a lake in your spoilboard. That way as you surface the working area, it remains the highest point for parts to sit as you machine them.
I'm soooo jealous, at least you shared your emotions with us!
Since your first video i've thought that you were someone who could really push the limits of subtractive manufacturing! I'm so stoked to see your future projects with this!
Pretty fantastic machine, Alexandre! Great work! 😃
A tip for fixing the plywood to the machine: there are some plastic pins you can use with the pin nailer (they're made of nylon I guess). This way even if the machine hits one there's absolutely no problems. 😊
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I would recommend setting up a metal fence around the CNC instead of a couch for chillin.. once it grabs a piece and makes it fly across the shop floor.. might not have a chance to think twice..
cool, all you need now is dust extraction and an enclosure.
good to see the hard work you've put into making videos paying off
that’s a veery nice gift, congratulations 🎉
Truly one of the best content creators out there. True to yourself and wholesome. I’ve enjoyed every video of yours that I have watched from start to finish. Most of what you do is also what I do. You just do it better lol.
Wathing you work a lot, and finally that's all for wine. So french style. I dig it. Cheers
That was Awesome Alexandre!!!!
Sweet machine!! I look forward to seeing what kind of interesting projects you make with it.
When attaching your spoil board and attaching stock to your spoil board, use brass screws. Brass is softer than steel and if you ever accidentally hit one with a cutter, it will be les likely to damage the edges. Another suggestion to help with dust/chip management-- cut 150mm strips of poly carbonate sheets and attach them vertically to the left and right edges of your spoil board. That will prevent most of the dust from blowing off of the sides of the machine.
Now make that juicy vacuum chamber thingy quick and give us a video ASAP not gonna ask twise... 🤣 love you man upload more frequently
Awesome machine! The only thing I am unsure of is the size of the MDF work surface being bigger than the work area, since you cannot surface everything which creates a ledge around the worksurface. This could be a hinderance laying down large sheets of plywood.
You are such an inspiring person. Thanks for your effort.
Can't wait to see more projects with the cnc!
What a beautiful machine, the possibilities are endless.
Wow what a nice looking machine, I’ve been wanting to upgrade for years, well done. Very jealous, cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Can't wait for future projects. Would be awesome to see all his machines for a project. 3D printer, laser cutter, CNC and this other tools for 1 project.
Dooing an engraving job on my co2 laser, this will make the wait feel alot faster. Superb timing as allways!
Oh wow, really cool machine!
In a year Alexandre will have a perpetual loop of machines making more machines for him
That's insane! Great video Alexandre!
Keep up the good work :)
Dude, that thing is totally bad ass.". I want one?"
Great! I so love CNC router machine.
Congratulations for your new toy..
I'm now developping my own DIY CNC router, very interessant to see choices of yours!
Waiting for your dust extractor vidéo!!
I've always wanted to see a full sofa made with a CNC (before maybe trying it myself). Anyone here seen anything online or maybe tried something similar?
HomeReserve furniture is made this way.
Wow, that’s great!
Amazing. Thank
At work, we have stackercranes and some of those have make cracks on their aluminum support beams and they have been replaced. But the old ones are still useable but they are still laying around somewhere at work for over a year. I asked for a ticket to get them home but they still won't release them due to failure calculations still haven't been completed. I would use those beams to build my own cnc machine but so far, no luck yet in even starting on it. I'm jealous you got such an expensive machine for free. I guess Avid cnc won't look me up and send me one too :p
This looks like a lot of fun to use! 😎👏
Cnc machines make dreams come true ❤️❤️❤️
The couch; a great place to sit to catch chips to the head
Man watching your video makes it so I cant wait till my 4x8 is in. Its going to be so nice to have my cnc. :)
Ok. I'm jealous now. That's really damn cool!
Awesome man!
Can’t wait to get my plasma cnc machine and this just makes me more excited! I’m about half way there with the funds.
Great video cant beleve you dont have more subscribers keep it up
Next video: Alexandre 3d prints a custom dust collector holder for that vacuum, and CNCs a wall mount?
Cool vid. I ordered a 4x8 Pro machine and I am so excited. Been waiting 3 months. 1 more!!!
Now you have a sofa that will be permanent coverred in Man-glitter (sawdust) :)
A grease gun is one of those tools that looks simple and you think you can figure it out and then you shoot a footlong shlong of grease across the shop and when that's cleaned up you regain a couple of humble points.
I purchased my unit from Avid last year. I bought the 4x8 CNC/Plasma Pro setup. I can use it as a 4x8 CNC or 4x4 Plasma. Lucky for you, you didn't have to purchase it. This was a huge investment.
yayyyyy new video
yayyyyyyy
love it !!!!
As I remember, many people make a CNC table with holes, just like welding table. You can glue nuts into the bottom of the surface and use them to hold your staff on the table.
Also, quite obvious, you can use duct tape to set your vacuum cleaner tube on the CNC head until you finish dust collector :)
That thing is build like a tank, you could just duct tape the shopvac to the spindle
The project files for the wine rack holder is not on the website, please add it, it looks like an awesome project
Nice video thank you for sharing 👍👍👍 what type of power is required to run this machine?
YESSSSSSSS METRIC!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
kiwi co sounds soo cool
That joy of working with metric, I felt that 💖💖💖👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽😂😂
I can't wait to buy one of those within the year.
Nice one, once more.
Great thing
Love Alex and his vids... was thinking a board with just a hole for the neck of the wine bottles where the torque from the weight of the bottle and the friction of the neck inside a hole slightly larger than the radius of the wine bottle neck would be a cool way to store them visually. Not a wine guy so not sure if there are reasons why that's a bad idea.
Storing wine isn't rocket science as long as it's short term and not for aging. Generally you want the cork to remain submerged in the wine so it doesn't dry out. This prevents oxygen from entering the bottle. You want the bottle at a slight tilt so that any particulate matter that's suspended in the wine will collect at the bottom of the bottle. That way the sediment won't get disturbed as you handle the bottle provided you are careful. Ideally it should be stored in darkness, but for a kitchen it's fine as long as it's stored out of direct sunlight.
For long term storage and aging temperature control is very important as is regular turning of the bottle as you actually want the particulate matter to circulate through the wine while in storage.
So the requirements for short term storage and long term storage is slightly different. For most of us who has only a few bottles in the kitchen nothing special is needed, but designing a wine cellar is better left to the experts. It might still not be rocket surgery but people who want/need a dedicated wine cellar are likely to be quite demanding (ok, so they tend to be pretentious snobs) so it's better left to those who know how to handle them.
Excellent add-on to the workshop! 👌😎
cringe
Big smile on my face seeing this 2 minutes after posting. ❤
Your positivity is infectious!!
Make my one
You need to use double-sided tape to hold your piece down and now have to chew up your wasteboard any more than needed. Also, create small tabs in the work so it doesn't come flying out while you are cutting and then you can just hand cut them when you are finished.
Very smart guy
Those positioning nuts are what the Ender 3 uses for attaching parts to the rails as well.
Cool !!!
DUST COLLECTION IDEA
Use 3D printer and make a chain link system that mimics the wire management chain tunnels.
Hey man, congrats with the CNC machine, it look awesome, I really hope that you enjoy it :) ... I have a small request to ask of you... Can you make a video where you build a Scandinavian (specifically Danish design) armchair? I have seen so many videos but nothing beats the way that you make stuff... Again thank you for your videos
Either go big, or go home! You went big my man, So, you are the MAN! I just want to know; "How much does cost?"
3D Print an attachment that holds your shop-vac hose right next to the dust? Heck, do two, one on each side, for maximum dust collection. :D
Hi! Thanks for the video. i wanted to know how you apply grease into the lm bearings, specifically how you connect the grease gun to the grease nipple, coz' when i tried i pulled out the grease nipple stripping out the plastic threads . looks like you decided to skip out this part in the video.
Some major TV network is going to pick you up some day; awesome channel!!
dope vid btw there's plastic nails for nail guns so you don't have to worry about breaking your bits
The couch is great but it will get dusty when the machine runs
I always wondered how rigid those types of machines could be, made of extrusion and those t-nuts but oh my god… that’s more fasteners than I’ve seen on pretty much anything ever. I bet it’s rock solid. Jesus. Talk about overkill, but that’s definitely what you want.
Awesome.
If I can ever afford a CNC I’ll definitely buy one of these. It actually looks super fun to assemble too.. I’m one of those weirdos who actually loves assembling ikea stuff. Haha
Hello. Will you be able to resurface all the are or will you be left with a high border because the spindle can not get to it?
Awesome video - you might actually want to keep your waste board smaller or equal to the maximum cut area of your - as you surface the waste board it's going to turn into a pocket with higher edge that will prevent you from being able to put larger pieces on the CNC since they'll float over the actual cut area. A 38mm waste board is going to last FOREVER too... most of the time the most you're gonna be cutting into the actual waste board is a thousandth of an inch and you'll have to do that a LOT before you actually NEED to resurface it.
oh my god giant the love
Awesome video! :)
Great video, as always. I wonder how accurate this CNC machine is? Do you mind to share it please.
Tried to find the files for the vine holder but I cant find it in your shop?
Sou fã deste mano kkk top demais
Nice setup ! Also great choice on the Côte du Jura, I'm surprised they export it all the way to Norway :-)
A said it!!! I said you would end up getting an avid cnc
Can you tell us more about your lights? I believe you’re using Aputure but I’m not sure? What size is that dome? Thanks!
