This is the stuff dreams are made of: A fast, strong, accurate CNC machine that's large enough to make 2 or 3 long scale neck through bass guitars, all for less than $1,800! This machine is a beast, far and above anything even remotely close to it's price range, and (from what I can tell) competitive with anything 2-3x the cost! For more info about the Longmill mk2, check out this link:

That's fascinating and looks like a fantastic machine. I'd be thrilled at this point with the Foxalien (and maybe I'll be able to get one of those eventually).

@CarsInDimension

I think that in time you'll eventually replace the router head with a dedicated CNC spindle. While it may not go along with you're DIY, budget oriented ethos, it would probably speed up your cuts. The ability to use computer controlled Cartesian machines like 3D printers, CNC machines, and laser engraver/cutters has opened up a world of possibilities.

Great video, thanks for posting. I'm in the final stages as to whether or not I want to complement my guitar building with a CNC and the Longmill Mk2 is where I've landed if I do. If I want to get a more serious and move beyond being just a hobbyist builder I would have to do some serious upgrades to the tools I have and I when I started to add up the costs it certainly started to cost justify a CNC. Living in Canada I quite like the idea that it is Canadian made. While the exchange rate works well for you it certainly works against me for any machines I'm looking for that come outside of Canada. Thanks for the tip on the Avid Power router, I'll take a look at going that route when the time comes. I'm curious as to what you use for bits.

The CNC seem very cool and good, but hey, i think i mentioned this in another video of yours, you gotta upgrade to a 1,5KW water cooled spindle with VFD because it´s a huge upgrade and your machine is going to route so much better and faster, those Makitas and similar clones are not very good at the end of the day actually. I have exactly the same clone you have on this machine, it´s scrapped a long time ago, also i had a real Makita that worked out great for quite some time and then it broke. I can see in several of your videos that the material you are routing of is turning in to dust and/or tiny particles and that´s not an optimal working CNC and there is alot of things that can go wrong there. But you make great videos and this is very interesting, i think you gotta learn from your own mistakes hey.. keep it up. Cheers.. :D

Hey man! Great work you're doing! I have been researching CNCs to purchase for taking my guitar builds next level and your videos have helped in my decision to go with the Longmill. For which I thank you! Would you clue me in on which one of the bit sets they offer is the ideal set to go with? Does the 3D Carver set have everything that I would need for guitar building, including fret slots? And are you just using the provided gSender software, or is there something else that's far superior but as easy that you may recommend? Again, thank you for what you do.
@GunsandGuitars
@GunsandGuitars Год назад
Hey Joey, congrats on choosing a LongMill! I love mine, and you will too. For bits I just have a 1/4” up cut, 1/4” ball nose, and a v bit. But I actually haven’t use the ball nose or v bit yet. My carves are really simple at the moment, I still have a lot of learning to do. I use their Gsender app, but I also use easel for my cad/cam. I’m trying to learn fusion360 but it’s a steep learning curve so I’m not their yet. I don’t think scieni sells a bit for fret slots, you’ll need to find one specifically for that from a luthier shop. I plan to use one of my cnc lasers to do the fret slotting. It’s a lot faster and easier and no chance of breaking those super fragile bits. Hope that helps!
@joeygregory695
@joeygregory695 Год назад
Hey! Cool, thanks for getting back to me. So most of the guitar carving is really simple for the machine with just using the basic bits, it would seem. And the laser doesn't burn the wood enough to be of any negative effect in the fretwork, I must ask? This is so amazing!

Great video, but a couple of questions. 1. Are you using limit switches or are you using software homing limits on it? 2. Have you thought about using your new machine for just guitar/bass bodies then using your original machine just for the routes where that has all been figured out? 3. Lastly, are you using the same cad/cam software on both Cnc machines and can you do a review on Easel?
@GunsandGuitars
@GunsandGuitars Год назад
Great questions! 1) not using limit/homing switches as of now because my work are is so large I don’t need them for my current projects. When I start doing more complicated carves with tool changes I’ll need to install the switches. 2) I am currently thinking of how I can use both machines to speed up production, I have a few ideas 3) I’m using easel for both machines currently. But it’s very limiting, I’ll need to learn a more powerful program eventually.

Definitely get the dust shoe, and start with a 1/4” upcut but (long one, 3.5-4” with 2” cutting surface) so you can cut the full depth of a guitar body. You can add a 1/4” ball nose bit for finishing too if your 3d design skills can put it to good use.

What are the dimensions of your work space that you will be working in with the CNC router?

Do you do necks on these CNCs too? Wondering if programming for the fretboard radius fret slots is hard?

I haven’t done a neck, but I plan to. Programming and 3d modeling is the hardest part. But you can purchased 3d models to get started. So to answer your question, yes fretboard radius and fret slots are possible

I’m looking at buying a CNC I am interested in building wooden flags and military ribbons, most of those files are wrote for the vcarve or carbide is there a simple way to change the files to work with this machine? It may be a dumb question just new to it.

Hi. i was just going through options on their site and see the software area. For the large size it requires the pro version. Are you using that $650 software or an open source application? Seems like it makes sense to get the vacuum attachment for dust collection and other addons. Any knowledge with its laser? Im considering that as well. Thanks!

Right now I’m just using easel for the software, it’s free and user friendly. But I’m learning fusion 360 which is also free and much more power, but way less user friendly.

How has this machine been doing since you made this? I have been making guitars for a few years and suddenly have the need to be able to make more. Been doing a ton of research and want to see what issues you’ve run into. Also what add ons have you need to purchase or recommend! Thanks!

I’ve had zero issues. This machine is an absolute beast, it has more than exceeded my expectations. I’ll be making a follow up video pretty soon.
