Cool little machine. just some info, when cutting (from my machine shop experience) I was always taught snub up the bit short as possible to reduce chatter and flexing. from this video it looks like its out a lot. We also used used endmills where the shank and cutting section are different diameters to help as well
-
the most interesting aspect for me here is the cut time... 15 hours for the 2 pass fish carving... that kind of info is really valuable to know when looking at these. cheers

Love seeing the versatility of this CNC router machine! Can't wait to see what creative projects you come up with next 🛠️
-
Great to see you getting into one of these machines James! Now you're just limited to your creativity which all of us that watch you know is limitless ;). I can hardly wait. I have and use a wood router (Onefinity) as well for signs and other small things ... but its the out of the box projects that you will shine like welding/bolt hole pattern jigs, electrical enclosures and beyond. I'll eat my shirt if you don't upgrade to a larger machine in lets say 4 years (being conservative here). Lots of fun watching you go and congrats! Daryl

Wow. Thirty seconds into this video and I'm already super jealous of that machine and I'm not even sure everything is been taken out of the box yet. Grrr. Lol.
-
Enjoyed the presentation of your video. It was presented quickly but gave all of the details. So many vloggers make their videos too long.

We’ve had luck with an 1/8” one flute and blowing air on 3/8” thick aluminum. M Cut out some pretty slick spur gears this week with our Shapeoko Pro.

Metal dowels for locating on 2 sides then new clamps Pro tip : Watch Feed and speeds (tools have specific feeds speeds/ chip load could go faster or run carbine/cobalt) if metal vibrates you can use modeling clay to keep vibration down

This seems great for entry level/learning, but no more than that. As it is now I've been laser engraving/cutting for about a Year and I am going to focus on it for another Year or so before adding to my work area with a proper CNC machine. I might just get one of these to learn the basics before I invest in a proper setup. Nice video, I didn't know this existed until I saw this- I'm going to look into this a bit more!
-
I bought one because of this video waiting for it to get here next week. Can't wait to put it together
-
I just bought one. Thank you for the information. I know 3d printing and laser cutting. I need this to cut acrylic plastic. I think I'll be ok.
-
Worm gears are definitely better than belts, the cable management looks excellent, and I like how they hide the moving parts away from the sawdust.
-
Amazing for the price.
-
You might try using masking film on the surface to reduce tear out.
-
using a shop vac will help cut down on brushing when cutting wood or acrylic trust me it makes a difference
-
Great job on the video. Check out what kind of DIY dust collection shoe options are available.
-
Good video, I would have used a 1/16 ballnose with 5 to 10% stepover though on the fish on the finish pass as you can set an almost invisible stepover marks, a v bit by its nature can't really have a stepover as it terminates at a point, another option would be a flat ended v bit which you could set a 4 or 5% stepover
-
Wow, impressive
-
now you need to add a vacuum and hose to suck up all the dust and millings. After that last cool Carving this would be cool for cabinet stuff.
