Adding Four Feet to My CNC Router Parts 4' x 8' CNC Router 

Frank is the Bob Ross of woodworking. Great way to start the day.

It amazes me how you do all of these videos! Planning it all out, putting it together, the camera work and then editing it all. Fantastic work Frank!

It never ceases to amaze me how you have managed to entertain and/or educate me consistently with every single video you create. I'm proud to subscribe to your channel as you have been "bellworthy" from this first show I saw. Thanks again for another wonderful video Frank. It is greatly appreciated.

Love seeing how things are assembled. Looks like CNC Router Parts really has their act together.

I really like how CNC Router Parts hands you these little helper tools, to make the whole process go easier. Goes to show that they really think about their product, and their customers.

Those still frame animations never fail to crack me up. That little wobble of the table feet was classic! Few people realise how labor intensive that kind of stuff is. Thanks for continuing to share your work and passion through this channel.

As a few others have said, awesome that CRP has the foresight to send along a gauge to align the rack gear. Their attention to details like this is, from my perspective, a powerful sales tool. Cheers, --Joe

Seems like a straight forward kit. Looks like they did sweat the details, like including that bit of rack for alignment. Very nice.

Pretty much my dream tool in a dream shop. Someday. Congrats Franks.

Can’t wait to see the projects you create on this big boy.

We miss you mr frank & your works

That end sequence with the light switch is incredibly subtle, but a perfect way to end a video

I feel gypped - that was only a 2 foot extension! Really good ideas and it gives me something to ponder about extending my own table. Thanks and cheers, David.

Frank, That is one BIG CNC table!! Keep an air mattress nearby for those naps needed on late night builds!

I just wish they would have packages that includes everything. Went to their site "oh, the 4x4 standard kit for $3100".... doesn't include legs $500, doesn't include the steppers or controllers $1500, Doesn't include Limit switches $250, Doesn't include Router Mount...... and so on. Hard to compare prices when you don't know what's needed to get rolling. Granted it looks like a solid machine.

I swear these videos are therapeutical! Keep up the amazing job!

Hey Frank, Love your videos. That black plastic stuff for the cables is called "cat track."

Always a thumbs up. Well done, sir.

You came up in my list and I read: ‘adding YOUR feet to my cnc machine.’ The fact that this didn’t alarm me, just made me curious makes it evident you are indeed a nice guy.

Most Excellent Mr H Thanks for sharing.

I know you're gonna turn out some great stuff frank

I love the CNC videos!

Frank, when you laid out your shop and or built it did you plan for this update. How much more room do you have for growth/addiction toys/tools?

Keep up the good work and videos.

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Frank! Love these videos and your work... Keep it up!

Really cool Frank! 👍👊

Hello Frank. When I worked for a machine builder the techs call the cable track "Cat Track" I never ask but I suspect it may have came from looking like Caterpillar tracked (or similar) vehicles. In any case I have more often than not heard it call "Cat Track".

Frank,I really want to make a CBC Router,your videos are fantastic,but how can I buy the part of the machine?

just casually sitting on my bed w a glass o wine and *boom* one of the best evenings to imagine - great video as usual :D

Guardo sempre i tuoi video

Is it avid CNC or something else, I saw you carving a mountain with the CNC you have and I am looking for a similar kind.

nice set up Frank, this weekend I'm going to play the Linear Rail drinking game. :)

What is the reason you want a bigger table?. Are there big parts to cnc that are this huge?.

I like the new outro

Wow, super cool

It should be a serie called « my strange addiction to CNC crazyness » 😉

Great videos. Do you know approximately how much the raw gantry weighs (no router attached) on the 4x8 pro table? Thanks

This is gonna be the most random comment, but I just got finished reading that Wright Brothers biography by David McCullough and it's crazy to go from thinking about the technology level back then and how they had to carve their propellers by hand to, "hey here's this random guy with a computer controlled, perfectly precise wood carving table that literally anyone could buy." We've really come a long way. Those crazy mofos could've probably invented the airplane in a year if they had a CNC and 3D printer.

Just curios why you put the extension on that end of the table, as you are losing a lot of what you gained because your spindle in on the wrong side of the gantry.

My biggest disappointment in my childhood was that I never had a Meccano set. Now 78, I'm making up for it by watching Frank assemble/modify his CNC leviathan!

Whats your opinion of this company that sells kits?

Wonderful

Very cool 😎 Frank

love it sir

I wonder what is your next project that requires 4 extra feet to the cnc?

yesss. Drag Chain :)

Did you still use the bent allen wrench?

did you have to buy the extension, or did they sponsor the project?

Is there a noticeable "click" at 8:38 over the rack transition?

as this is a dual y-drive drive machine - I was wondering about how it keeps square. do you have two y-axis endstops that square it up when it's powered on?

When you said 4 feet I thought you were going to put shoes on it. :)

wht are those feet called? id like to add them to my machine

Still using that bent Allen wrench from the last build?

oh neat! i was so sad that you were losing functionality with the new router

From the title I was thinking: what would 4 extra feet (as in extremities) be good on a CNC machine? English is confusing ^^.

OK, gracias por sus videos, thanks for your videos J.M.Castilla@2018

Your shop is likely nicer than that of people who do woodworking as their primary source of income.

Salute.👏

Thanks for the video, I'm sure I'll add to mine eventually. But, any chance that you might add a rotary 4th axis? I bought one, and have been trying to figure it out with limited time to invest in it. Cannot find much online on adding it other than parts that said they did it. CNCRP sent a link that got me to a person who did it, the person sent me their plans for the 8020 setup they used without any explanation on how to actually include it in the post processor or Mach 3. You could add one to your machine and explain that process very well. I purchased the axis for about $350 from alibaba and it's a geared setup 100:1 so the holding torque is sufficient. I've seen that they added plasma and I got there updated touch plate with my order, but I cannot get any info from them about a 4th axis. I really hope they decide to implement one, but even asking if they have played around with one on their machines has gotten no response at all from email. I feel like I annoy them when I call. I just don't know enough yet to confidently do this without spending the next month deep into it and not getting anything else done.

Molto bravo

Are you being sponsored by CNC router parts?

WOW! That's one large CNC machine. Can't wait to see what you come up with using that extra space........... :)

When will you be converting this thing to a giant 3D printer?

Где купить такой cnc ?

👍👍👍

When I read the title I thought you would put actual "feet" on your router table which got me confused for a second ;-)

Cable Holder I think its a Dragchain.

You only added two feet Frank ;)

Oh! You meant 4' in length, not four feet on the ground!

Show

Hay you only added two extra feet

does anyone tell me how this knife take it's bath while cutting if i have only X,Y,Z drivers( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x4WznSWsTyg.html )????????????????

I'd call foul. The kit only came with two feet. ;)

You’re gonna need a bigger shop🛥

Well, technically you only added two feet... But they were adjustable 😉

As English isn't my primary language and metric is the norm here in Sweden I thought "this is going to be an insanely boring video adding feet to the CNC" 😂

One bajillion feet CNC.

discovery channel level or higher

Only you can make a boring video interesting. I assume that if I had a CNC machine, I would have been more intrigued

is anyone else sent to some strange cartoons after this vid ?

Your to calm when speaking, sounds like your about to fall asleep or have eaten valium or smoked something head/body heavy green.

I think Frank is starting to talk even slower.

This is my first thumbs down and frank video I couldn’t watch. Sorry. I would’ve rather seen the new equipment in use not being assembled.

great! i really enjoy your videos.
