The CNC Build: Part 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ย. 2015
- The design for my CNC machine is based on my friend Jonah’s build which is based on “Joe’s Design.” The basic structure is made from 80/20 aluminum extrusions. The x and y-axis move on rack and pinion gears and the z-axis moves on a screw drive. I built the structure from scratch and bought the motor mounts and z-axis as kits.

Please, don't ever stop teaching and inspiring.
The assembly of the CNC alone looked exhausting............I can't imagine having to move and reset the location of the video camera that many times as well. Incredible patients and worth it in the end. Excellent video.
Very well done.

+Jay Bates Thanks Jay!
+Josh Mann I'm thinking more like Frank Skywalker.... :D
Frank great work, I built a cnc router based on Joe's original 4x4 design and it was a lot of fun to build. You can see my videos on my channel. The struggle you had with the base is tough because we are woodworkers and I like you am not a welder and learned on this machine. The beauty of the way my machine is built is that I attached the table structural members to the angle iron, and the angle iron to the 8020. This meant I could finagle and adjust into a relatively flat table and then flatten it completely with a surfacing bit later on. I think I avoided the warping you did because of this as I set me plane on the adjustable 8020 slots and not the table, which means no shimming. I don't mean to come off as criticism, I thought I would just mention it. Joe has a great user group where we share information and everyone helps each other on their builds and subsequent cnc projects when it's running. You should check out his site : joescnc.com. I look forward to seeing more on this build Frank, thanks!
Man, I could listen to you read children's books.
I really don't care what you're building (and I mean that in the nicest possible way), because the way you do it and how you explain everything just blows my mind.
Thank you for all these videos!
I dont know what is more enjoyable: the ideas bring to us (the ones who want to make something like that) OR the animations on the film !!! great director!
I'm blown away by this machine! Are you going to make parts for NASA?
Great work Frank!
+Andrea Arzensek I hope not, ha ha
+Andrea Arzensek I think he's going to make widgits..... 10,000 at a time... Stock in - Widgits out - 10,000 widgits in an hour.... ;)
Having watched a number of video series' on cnc router builds ; in preparation of building my own, and commenting on none; I felt compelled to comment on yours. You explain well your process, progress at a very nice pace, video very nicely and most improtantly very pragmaticly build with a high level of precision without over-compilcating the whole thing. Thanks for the videos ....... I will watch all you have to offer.
Wow! That's one heck of a machine you're building. I like it!!
(Frank, the Ad that came up with this video was one for sawblade.com that featured HEM Saw, Inc. It was over four minutes long and I watched every second of it. I wish I could give an ad a thumbs up, but I'll settle for giving you one!)
This CNC machine is pretty incredible and your patience in building it is remarkable. I am excited to see what your plans are for this little monster. Thanks for taking us along!
Oh my god! This is the best produced how-to videos I've ever seen on youtube. In fact, I cant say I've seen any motivational and well explained tutorial even on public service or commercial broadcasts either. What you are building seems to be solid and well thought of in every detail. This series is going to get to my favorite list for sure! Please keep up the good work!
If my dad was still here today half his shop would be CNC... He never saw this tech in action but he always imagined things like it. Your videos are a welcome gift, that I sure always enjoy. Can't wait to see the projects and materials you use this platform on.
This is the most serious CNC machine building / installation I've ever seen! Whoa!
You are the only person I can watch a series on, and keep my attention on youtube!
I am enjoying the series Frank! I am currently building a CRP 48x48... I can appreciate all the steps now!
Man, Frank, you're a woodworking wizard.
so exciting to see the world of CNC coming to one of my favorite woodworking channels. Can't wait to see what you build and how you work through your problems. Thanks Frank.
Frank that cnc is going to be sweet....and the force move was the icing on the cake....
There are no half measures with you my friend. Awesome build!
Frank, I have always been in awe of how patient and precise you are with all your projects. Perhaps it is all in how you edit things, but I choose to think that you do put that much thought and effort into your builds. It has helped me slow down on my projects and let them take the time they are going to take - instead of rushing it to meet my self imposed deadlines. Keep up your inspiring work!
You are a far more patient person than I am Frank! I would have lost it after putting that piece on backwards!
I'm so excited for this series! You videos are just so lovely to watch! The tone you set in how you narrate it and the great graphics and general cinematography. You're my type of person!
My gast has been flabbered!!!! You were right saying "... probably not the best time to end the video ..." Suppose I'll have to wait till next week.
The suspense is building, Frank. I can hardly wait.
The Force is strong with you Frank ! Great video.
Yeah, you know you're onto something good when grown men get cranky at the end of your videos because they don't want to wait another week. This is an awesome project! I'm excited to see it finished, and excited to see what you build with it.
Nice MOE-Cheen you got there, Frank. Love it. Thanks for the video.
I found your videos by accident. I find myself extremely jealous (a sure-fire sin) of your shop and your equipment, especially your CNC machine. I wonder if you do this as a profession, or if you have one heck of a fantastic hobby and a lot of money from a great job to support it. Please do tell. Thanks for your videos! I hope your children realize how lucky they are to have a pop like you. Super neat! Please do tell more.
you have the patience of a saint. I find drilling holes in steel is so damn tiresome. I always think, "that won't take long, maybe half an hour". 3 hours later.... I'm still going haha. and to film yourself making it as well. I've got a serious amount of respect for that.
Extremely high quality videos! So much detail, so many cuts, well done sir! A great pleasure to watch!
I have been pondering the design aspect of a CNC router for some time and your video guide has answered my questions. Thanks. I love the animations too. They are amusing and instructional at the same time. Well wish me luck, I'm off to the shop to start building.
Frank, you are amazing! You have tremendous projects and your videos are the bench mark for excellent.
That stop motion is just awesome! I am glad that somebody as busy building something as you are finds the time to make the video also entertaining!
I love that old green drill press you have with the pullies on top!
Frank you are a very tall Yoda Sir.
As always you teach I learn and am entertained to.
Also Jay Bates has the power of the force and teaches very well.
Thank you
The best part of this system is how easy it is to assemble!
Simply stunning, Frank. I haven't stopped salivating. Ugh, sorry! Looking forward to Part 3! All the best, Rob.
Great progress on the way to having your cnc done. You have already done a mountain load of work at this point. Wonderful vid Frank.
Awesome job. Looking forward to see what you do with it.
thats some serious craftmanship especially wire management is excellent
looks amazing
Great video Frank love the animations as always and thank you for sharing your journey with us.
As usual, I always look forward to your videos. This looks to be a tremendous machine. This is the kind of toy I could only dream about. Can't wait to see how this CNC contributes to your projects.
very interesting, but this makes me realize how valuable it is when you give us the birds eye view ahead of time. I couldn't see the purpose of the pieces until you attached them.
Wow, that thing looks like a monster. Very nice. Can't wait to see more of the build and then what you make with it.
Amazing. Beautiful family, wicked shop, lucky man!
Very cool, love your processes and engineering techniques. Can't wait to see the videos you make with the CNC machine. Thanks for the great videos.
I'm speechless. What a job. Well done.
I actually laughed at "the nine minute post flipping". The pure joy when you've put 20-30 minutes into something, just to realize it's the wrong way. How many times have you not done that. :)
Frank, you are an insanely talented inspiration. I love everything you post. Keep on brother!
The build is interesting enough, but I have to say that your video production quality is superb. I really enjoyed your use of stop motion. Keep it up!
This is the best DIY/Instructable video I've ever seen, great job!
Such a great project and love the voice over + occasional chuckle.
Thanks for sharing - that was a lot of video work and editing.
That is going to be an awesome setup. The cable trays are a terrific setup. They seem to work very smoothly. You give meaning to the phrase go big or go home.
So many pieces! You're a brave man attempting this, can't wait to see it in action!
Holy Crap. You are NOT messing around!
This is fantastic Frank; must have been a satisfying build. CNC capability is pretty awesome, can't wait to see what you do with it.
Fantastic work! I'm really curious to see projects getting born in this t-rex tool!
Love your work Frank and great job with this CNC and also love the idea of the extra extension at the one end of the table so your able to cut parts out by clamping them vertically, good thinking.
What a massive project. Wow. Excited to see this thing in action!
Very nice and fun visual documentation.
Awesome build Frank!
Great video, Frank!! Best one I have seen!! You show and explained alot in a short time. Thanks!!
I love the little stop motion
That is a beast of a CNC. Love to watch it come together. Anxiously awaiting the next video.
Really enjoyed your progress.
Mike
That drill press is awesome!
Always enjoy your videos, Frank. Can't wait to see this beast finished and making some chips.
thank you frank. looks great. on pins and needles to see the monster do stuff now
This is going to be a great addition to your shop Frank
Nice, a 15 min. video to get my mind off my school work.
You're really cranking this thing out! Way to go!
Amazing job Frank! For someone with little CNC experience you did a great job!
+Abel Nieto It was a lot of time, but it was not as complicated as it seemed like it was going to be.
I love that cable routing!
the force is strong with this one... i KNEW it! frank is a jedi knight!
thanks for the great video on this awesome machine! you are raising expectations with each and every video! this sure is one of my favorite channels!
I knew you were a Jedi knight! That's going to be an excellent CNC machine!
dang Frank, this is nice. why do I get the feeling that this video is like your piece de resistance? It's beautiful. I'm wanting, nay, I'm needing more! Can't wait till next week!
I'm so excited to see what you do with this behemoth of a CNC table!
I absolutely love that stop motion animation. Congrats for the build!
It is fascinating watching your videos of your build. I love the thought, patience and care you put into your work as well as letting your kids be part of the process. Great to watch the build, interesting to see you using your recip saw cutting the 80/20 when you could have done this on the table saw for a better looking cut, but maybe you had other reasons as I saw you cutting al on the bandsaw later (so many options!). I'm really looking forward to seeing the results of your creativity when you get the CNC all up and working. All the best for the build.
Love the way you have well thought out plan for it all.
Thx for sharring.
Keep us posted.
Regards.
A technical, but also a beautiful, , inspirational, fun video !! thx a lot
Love the video. Nice to see these things come together. Have fun with it.
Frank, I've just recently stumbled upon your channel and WOW, your videos are amazing! The work that you do is incredibly precise, and the way you put your videos together is stunning. You must spend hours if not days just editing the footage, let alone the setup for all of these shots! And you're an Oregonian? Even better. I'm eager to watch old videos and to see what you have in store for the future! You've definitely earned a sub from me!
Thanks!
Wow... What an amazing build...
Thats the most spectacular cnc machine i ever seen.
U really deserve an award for that...
Love all your videos
I love the style of your videos, hats of to the editor! Glad to see the CNC is coming along well, looks really tedious to do.
Your camera work is absolutely awesome!!! I really enjoyed watching it.
much more interesting than the xcarve unboxing I was half expecting!
awesome, Frank.
Great helpers and nice job
Superb video production, even "special effects!" So professionally done it felt like watching an episode of "This Old House" or "The Woodwright's Shop."
Amazing Frank, really good work!
Wow can't wait to see what comes from this machine
Very very cool. Great walkthrough. Would love to see you where you go from here - like what you use for hold downs, how you handle dust collection, etc.
That is daunting! great work. Its awesome to see the kids take an interest in what you do.
Impressive. Thanks for sharing.
you my friend are one smart man , great engineering nicely done. with that CNC you can make just about anything you want . can't hardly wait to see what it can do .
The X and Y axis cabling is slick.
Great video as usual please keep them coming. Best wishes to you and your family ....Mark
Excellent... Looking really good...
Cheers...
