Isn't your vacuum just pulling a warped board down, and then you're flattening the top.....but when the vacuum is released, the warp is still there? This is the same as putting a warped boatd in a thickness planer. It'll come out thinner on the other end, but the warp hasnt been addressed. You need to joint the board flat first, whether by using a jointer, or by using the method you described for flattening a slab.
By resurfacing both sides, you create a flat piece of material, this same process is used in nested based manufacturing - very commonly done for MDF Door processing & other cabinetry needs.
Speed and RPM will vary by HP, cutter, and model -- Generally you will be between 10-12K RPM and 300-650IPM. On our IS Series we usually try to be around 12K @ 650IPM for this process, on this particular project we slowed things down a little bit and we did 10K at 350IPM.
What about making a vacuum pocket for a much smaller piece, like 3”x5”, on the SS 23 model with the 1-zone vac? Not necessarily to flatten the 3x5” piece out, but to hold something firmly that small without clamping?
Clamping boards is something a lot of people do traditionally for this application, in this one we use vacuum, if you don’t have vacuum, this isn’t for you. Not everything can be for everyone.
@@shopsabre Great, because work holding can always be a bit of a challenge. Most of what I do is repetitive machining, so I almost always use fixture plates. I have holes and threaded inserts in my MDF table that the plates index and bolt to, but for other jobs, there are options. One of the options you should highlight is a composite nail gun. I use that quite often if I can't use clamps and there's a chance of hitting the fastener with the cutter. Also double face (carpet) tape and blue tape with CA glue.
@@shopsabre I work as a service technician for CNC routers / machining centres( mainly door and kitchen unit manufacturers ) so I understand a little 🤣 Here in Europe we’re beginning to understand that the initial higher cost of a non-Asian import outweighs the savings when it comes to after sales service . Glad to see an American engineering company creating solutions for their clients .
I just use visqueen around the part to direct the vacuum to the part. Then I lay scraps of other material on the visqueen to keep it from getting tangled up with the dust collection brush. Faster and cheaper.
Plasma technology has come a long way, with proper settings you can get nice results, however much like a quality cabinet in your house, if the foundation isn't strong they won't carry the same value & quality -- Machine motion control largely will cause a significant effect on holes & dross
@@shopsabre okay. we have a machine here but the problen he can't cut using tangential knife. how to inquire if this machine are supported of tangential knife cutting head.
What program are you running that slat wall in? And who makes the tool. We've had our shop sabre going on 2 years now and would never go back to not having one. My only regret is not getting the 5x10 bed. We have had some limitations in commercial jobs but it's miniscule and when we expand soon we will be looking to get the 510 or the 612
We used VCarve Pro for the Slat wall programming and the tooling we use is Vortex Tool. We love to hear your passion for our product, it's truly amazing as to what you can do with one in the shop. We are ready and standing by when it's time to upgrade.
That’s unfortunate, we have other videos to checkout if you’d like to see more. We’ve found the that most shops are impressed with their time savings through automation
Thank you for sharing your success, we too agree with the possibilities being endless, ultimately, finding the organization to tackle everything you want to do is the hurdle ha-ha
I have a ShopSabre 23. I love it. Does everything I need to do. I wish I had the ability to cut 4x8 sheet goods. It's more of a desire than a need. ShopSabre won't disappoint you!
Congratulations on the video. I'm looking for these milling cutters to carry out this type of work. But I haven't found those cutters yet. Could you tell me what model these cutters are?
I have a Pro 408. It looks like your dust collection attachment at the motor is quite a bit different. Is that 3D printed? Do you sell it or have 3D printer files for it? It looks like it would increase the suction power.
@@ColinCavaliere we do sometimes post plans in our private user group for our customers to access the drawings. However, the majority of our videos are to demonstrate various projects & skills that can be done utilizing the equipment.
My SS23 arrived with a dime size MAJOR rust spot on the Y axis track. I didn't see it because the gantry was covering it. HOW is that even possible? Pisses me off to no end. HOW the F*&! IS THAT POSSIBLE? MAJOR QC issues at SHOP SABRE!
First, we are sorry for the issue, we never like to hear of an issue. Secondly, there is always better ways to voice your concern more directly with intent to resolve an issue and get you what is necessary as it is always our hope to work together on a reasonable resolution so we can provide actual support from our support department (It's Free when you buy from us). Never the less, it would appear you want the attention to this so we will reply here although, our support team is ready to help and more appropriate to do so -If you wish to give them a call they will work through whatever the issue is actually here. Now to defend our QC, we inspect our machines in ever stage, we have checklists with signatures and in fact we take photos of every machine for QC so we will pull the photos before it left to confirm any issues and if they slipped past anyone for continued improvement. That said, Surface rust can happen given the climate changes that machines go through during delivery. While we do try to coat the rails before departure they are metal rails so while these rare instances can occur it usually is just as simple to remove them without caused damage. Additionally, it's a bit extreme to say "MAJOR QC issues" , it's obviously not extremely common as our reputation clearly shows our willingness to help & our customer satisfaction over the course of two and half decades is there to prove this. We are sorry you had an issue here, this is not something you see commented normally, and again we have a willingness to always support our client who reach out and work with us. If there were in fact major QC issues, we feel that our reputation would be much less but as mentioned, we will investigate what happened here. In the meantime, since we do not know who you are from your RU-vid page, we encourage you to give us a call - our support management team is standing by awaiting your call.
It's very frustrating when the 30 seconds of content is hidden inside 15 minute videos. And it really isn't a 'how to', is it? This is really just informational and "Click this button here." I do not know how to make these dovetails. After the video, I still do not know how to make them, but I know there is a software, some software, somewhere, that has an existing plan and configuration and tool settings. I don't have that or access to that, but it exists somewhere. Then I have to click a button. I don't really know which button, because it was only a flash compared to the greater video. But there have to be existing plans, some kind of selection and then I let the button do the work. But, really, none of that is "How to", this is an information that somewhere is a product that does something but I have no idea how to do it or apply it to my projects.
Thank you for comment, we appreciate the feedback and will try to address this in future videos. That said, in our video we do mention what software is used and ultimately, the creation of the dovetail is done by the software product itself. Again, we build the CNC machines but the software companies ultimately support their product features, we just show these capabilities and show that Dovetails can be made with a CNC machine using the appropriate tools & software. We do have private videos available to our clients that get more into the finer details and explanation / training but these are private and a benefit to our clients on our SabreNation University page. Again, appreciate your comment and we will again try to better address this in the future content.
@@shopsabre I think what you don't understand is that "You do mention it" This isn't HGTV. I don't watch information youtube videos for fun. This isn't just running the background as noise and it wouldn't even go in that algorithm. It's called clickbait and this is really shitty Boomer clickbait. I don't actually care about anything other than the answer to my question. I click on your video to get that answer. When a "How To" video is 15 minutes long and the takeaway is "Buy this software that does it for you." There is zero value in the video and the title is clickbait. It is a complete waste of time for anyone who wants to learn how to make Dovetail Drawers with their CNC. It is so ridiculous and pathetic that an entire generation of people think this is valuable. The entire Boomer generation are functionally useless children.
I haven't seen a new fab book for years but I know a lot of shops are doing it this way. If that seam is in that location in a home in new construction it won't make it past the first season change
This was something we did in our own shop for a desk we made… the main focus for us was to showcase the machine and prove that our machines can do the cutting. We can appreciate your expertise and experience.
