Using my homemade cnc to build kitchen cabinets. I use Fusion 360 to design and manufacture my cabinets. Fusion 360 is an Autocad product. I cover uses of making and creating your cabinet library and the tooling that I use for the production of my prefinished birch cabinets. Construction details are blind dados, frame less Euro style cabinets. I use Blum drawer guides and hinges. Edge banding is 1mm thick white pvc applied with mt new Maksiwa edge bander.
There has been interest in uploading my Fusion files. I am listing them on Etsy. I will be adding more until the library is complete.

awesome video ...surprising how useful even a homebuilt cnc could be ..even at an hour a sheet when you factor how much handling you reduce through all the subsequent steps its really a force multiplier for the shop.

Great video. I might need to binge this channel next year. My mom needs a new kitchen, but prices have gone through the roof, so the only way it's going to be affordable is if I can do a lot of the work myself. Time is the main challenge, and CNC routing might be the partial solution.

Your 1/8" endmill looked burnt. A better alternative when drilling all your different sizes of holes would be to use drill bits meant for CNCs. I just bought an industrial 1/4" drill bit with shank adapter for my Axiom 2' x 4' CNC, so I can drill dowel holes in my projects. I think I'll be getting a 5mm bit and adapter next.

@kartiksundar5531 Год назад

Thanks for the video! I bought your Fusion 360 from Etsy. I have also built my own CNC (can't do homing yet) and learning each day 🙂. I have a basic question - As 3 different bit sizes are intended for this cabinet build, there are three different G-code files being generated from CAM in Fusion 360. When I attempted to click on the Setup node in CAM and then generate G-code it mentioned Fusion 360 free version doesn't support Tooling Changes. My question is, how do you generate the G-codes? One for each drill bit operation (If so, does the CNC orient properly upon loading each file?) or do you have the paid Fusions 360 version and does it generate a single G-code file for all the operations (pre-drilling, dados, and cutouts)?

@OldGuyWoodworks Год назад

I create a separate file for each tool. When I first set up my cnc I create my home for the X and Y axis. The Z axis is set each time I change operations.

@DesertGardenPrepper 2 года назад

super interesting video, but seeing that nail come out the side at 8:46 hurt like watching someone get kicked in the tender parts, because it has happened to me so many times 🤣 is there no better way to do assembly? after all that time and expense to get to that stage, and it kind of got ruined, or am I just being a perfectionist? what do you do you recommend?

@OldGuyWoodworks 2 года назад

That nail came out of the bottom which is under the cabinet and won't be seen. The nail is only to hold it in place once I get it in position and I always angle the nail to make sure if it gets exposed, it comes out on a non visible area. You don't even have to use the nail, it's just for convenience. Perfectionists make the best woodworkers. If I have a "shiner" in an exposed area I will go as far as to make a new part if I can't fix it.

@arcone3055 2 года назад

Hey buddy. Thx for the vid. I'm having a major headache with my cnc. I'm cutting mdf boards for kitchen cabinets and most of the time, like 8 out of 10 cuts, the laminate chips off from where the bit enters and a lot of times where the ramps end and inbetween. I use mostly 6 and 8 millimeter downcut bits. I've tried to avoid the ramps, but it chips off the laminate from the other side. I've also tried different entry points and that didn't help. My feed rates are around 3k/min and plunge rates are a little less. I'm using aspire for modeling and mach 4 hobby for g code. The cnc machine has some years on it, but I don't want to jump to that conclusion yet. Could you give some advice on that or maybe direct to an honest forum? I think I have about three weeks until I'm sacked.

@OldGuyWoodworks 2 года назад

I will admit that I use all the defaults on ramps and feed ins and it works fine for me, so I'm not very good with ramp and lead-in speeds. Are you using a down cut bit? If you want both sides to avoid chipping while you cut full thickness, you'll more than likely need a compression bit. I'm not an expert, but I think I would avoid ramping and start my feed from outside my cut. As we speak I'm cutting melamine and the chipping is driving me nuts. The forums I have had the most luck are www.cnczone.com and www.machsupport.com.

@matthewv4086 Год назад

Hey, would you let me know what cnc machine should I buy if I want to make cabinets at the hobby level. For my house, I have to build cabinets for two kitchens, a few bathrooms, and closets for bedrooms....

@OldGuyWoodworks Год назад

That's a loaded question for several reasons.Buying a cnc for just one house of cabinets isn't cost effective. So much depends on your budget. That's why I built my own cnc. At the minimum you would need a 4'X8' to accommodate full sheets of sheet goods. I wouldn't buy a cnc to do one job. If I had a decent budget I would get a cnc with a tool changer and vacuum hold down with at least a 5hp 3 phase router.
