Description: Out of all the different CNC machines that can be operated out of a garage, computer-controlled routers are arguably the most versatile. Capable of cutting not only wood but also plastics and non-ferrous metals, the CNC router can quickly turn a variety of materials into products that can be sold or gifted. Furniture and decorations are perhaps the most common creations that new hobbyists gravitate towards, but CNC routers are capable of so much more from cutting traces on a circuit boards to even engraving/cutting aluminum.
The best part about the CNC router is how low the barrier of entry is. The machine itself is light and only requires a common household voltage operate. The allowance for error are high because hobbyist grade machines, like the Lead 1010, are built to survive crashes as you learn the ins and outs of CNC programming.
If you’re not convinced that you need a CNC router in your home shop now then you will be after Dr. D-Flo covers his five favorite products to make in this video.

@fjb4750 3 года назад

1 have a suggestion for you. Instead of using super glue try spray on adhesive M77 or contact cement or even rubber cement. I do upholstery and I use it all the time. way cheaper and the work wont move. It has a slower cure time but it doesn't take long at all. Just trying to help so I'm not insulting the way your doing it. Great videos I enjoy them.

@webosm6494 3 года назад

For inlays you could also use a V-bit with a 30 degree angle. You then have a better fit as you make the inlays slightly thicker and the glue it in place. The V in the cutting board and the V on the inlay will then mate without any gaps. You need to instruct the CAM to generate a toolpath that cuts ON the line to make it line up perfectly.

@DCDLaserCNC 2 года назад

I agree about the V-bit inlay method. You can get really sharp corners plus a small glue gap under the inlay.

@BradCozine 2 года назад

EXCELLENT! I actually scrolled down to make this very recommendation! Bravo!

@mcfixit66_yt77 8 месяцев назад

When making an inlay use a v-bit on the edges use an end Mill to hog out the areas that can be hogged out

@RyanNiemer 2 года назад

Not sure if it was mentioned or not, but, a helpful tip to get a super smooth finished board, is to sand to 220, then spray it with a little water. Let that water dry and all the little fuzzies will pop from the wood fibers. Then sand again at 220 and then put your finish on the board. Great video though, very interested in this CNC

What an epic video. Literally watched the whole thing and rewound some areas. Thanks for sharing. We just bought our first CNC machine and it’s a little guy, but awesome to see what we could potentially get to. I definitely need to start looking into editing in the same software you’re using because I’m running into issues in Carbide Create in areas where my bit is too big. You being able to distinguish the minimum radius is key for me I think. Thanks again!

@sshaw9157 2 года назад

Love the projects! Thnx! Here’s a tip for clamping freshly glued wood without sticking. Cover your clamping wood (not the actual glued piece but the wood piece that goes between the clamp and the glued wood) with packing tape. It will release from the glued piece easily after drying.

@Dr. D-Flo... Great production quality on the videos on this channel. You do a great job of anticipating all the detail type of questions on your methods and choices. It is great that you can provide context to each of your videos. So many times people make videos assuming the viewers are already proficient on every aspect of the work. For example, even for proficient CNC users, not every aspect of working holding is common knowledge but you explain why you made your decisions. The answers to the WHY questions are so often missing. Thank you for great content and the hard work you are doing to offer knowledgeable content.

@billstrahan4791 3 года назад

You probably know this, but you can move your vise jaws to the outside and hold MUCH larger pieces. Not sure your Y travel on the mill, but it might work. I have a pallet with three 4" vises all mounted next to each other with 2.5" between. Even with the little 4" vises I can put the vise jaws on the outside and because all the vises line up I can easily securely clamp a piece of stock 8" wide and 20" long that is almost fully supported. Love your channel.

@DrDFlo 3 года назад

Yah Y travel is 11”. I probably should have just said that. So more of a limitation of the travel versus the vise. Just easier to show the max vise opening on the video. The plate I made in the video was about 11 1/2” in both x and y. In my scooter video I milled the side of the deck which was 24” or so long - most of it was unsupported because I couldn’t afford another vise at the time! Glad you are enjoying the channel!

@danytalloen 2 года назад

Very nice project, and very well (beautifully) executed. Keep in mind however that not all kinds of wood are foodsafe to use as a cuttingboard, some are toxic and some other kinds are very proun to germ contamination.

@seabeepirate Год назад

I love the 3D printed work holding. Why don’t you hold down the workpiece with 3D printed parts? Seems more reliable than counting on bit pressure since the wood will not be uniform throughout.

Hola amigo Dr. D-Flo, te agradezco por haber hecho esta introducción al CNC de OpenBuild. Fíjate que estoy muy interesado en comprar esta máquina, pero vivo en Guatemala y como imaginarás la asesoría a cerca de cómo ensamblar dicho equipo no será muy fácil. Por infortunio en nuestra parte del mundo no tenemos a nuestro alcance la gama de accesorios que serían necesarios para poner en marcha fácilmente un proyecto como este. Solo quisiera me ayudaras amigo por favor dime que partes debo de incluir si decido comprar esta máquina? De antemano te agradezco mucho la ayuda. 100 puntos por el tutorial sobre este hermoso equipo, un abrazo D-flo!!

@coulterjb22 3 года назад

Could the clamps you showed in the video hold the material down (if using an up-cut bit) if you had placed two clamps on each side of the material? Or would you not risk it? I'm tempted to 3D print some clamps with teeth in the face to hold it if you think it would work.

@InTheLab3d 3 года назад

You used an upcut on your inlay pocket portion... Upcut has a tendency to tear out as it pulls up. It seems a downcut would be better to keep the edge nice and clean... However the plug portion is going to go in, and then get sanded, so perhaps any tear out can be hidden anyway.

@DrDFlo 3 года назад

Yah perhaps I should have used a compression bit to get the best of both worlds... Sometimes the downcut bits leave bit of material, which can be significant on a shallow inlay like this one and difficult to sand in narrow places.

@InTheLab3d 3 года назад

@@DrDFlo yeah its a fine line. I use a new type of compression bit made for hobby cnc... really shallow upcut portion before hitting the downcut portion. These are the only bits i use (unless i need v bits etc). www.cadencemfgdesign.com/shop

@DrDFlo 3 года назад

If I am making a design that predominantly non-dimensioned features (e.g., text, logos, etc.) then I design the whole thing in Adobe illustrator -> save .dxf -> use fusion to generate the tools paths. As you pointed out fusion is not so good for the the artsy bits.

Could you tell me how reliability and precision has been with your CNC since it uses wheels riding through dust and debris coated beveled notches. I'm looking to buy a CNC unit soon to add to my laser business. thx

@DrDFlo 2 года назад

This is a DIY machine so it is what you make it. Stock configuration is reliable but as you pointed out dust and chips can coat the rail. So either you need to wipe the rails every now and then or purchase a dust shoe or linear rail covers to prevent the debris from inhibiting the linear motion.
