Thank you for your feedback! 🤩👍

austrian !! not german ;-)

Thanks for the compliment.😉

Hello, I will let Harry know :-) Thanks for your compliment and next year we will be again present at the fairs 💪🏼

Hello SimpleCove, Thanks for the compliment.😉 Best regards from Austria

exactly , what we love to hear 😍 Feel free to get in touch us - we are looking forward to your call 🤗

Hello Ketan, thanks for the compliment! 😍 It´s much appreciated. We will lead your greatings to Mr. Helli. 😉 Best regards from Austria

Thanks for your feedback! Lovely to hear 😍

So do I - it's a cracking bit of kit!

I build mine ^^ more easy than build a Lamborghini :D

If you ever get a Lamborghini having a CNN machine might keep it on the road.

I felt the same way about the Felder Combination Machines. I bought one instead of a Harley...

Great decision 👀😎

Hello Mark, thanks for your feedback! Great to hear 😍 It took 2 hours 50 minutes for all pieces made on the cnc . Due to the video production we can't tell you how long it took us for the whole project Best Regards from Austria

@@FELDERGROUPTV wow that's fast. May I know long it took for the neck and how long for the body?

Hello Andy, The spindle has max. 25.000 rpm, the fret slotting bit was operated at that speed. Best regards

Hi, you can find the right user bit in our e-shop with the Art. No. 500-06-0006P: www.felder-group.com/en-gb/shop/router-bits-sc579339/router-bit-with-positive-twist-sp620580

Thank you@@FELDERGROUPTV

Hello Allan, thank you for your request. We used a standard "upcut" router bits for this project. You can find it in our FELDER e-shop: bit.ly/3v6BCkb Best regards from Austria

Ah its in the pdf in the video

Hello Mark, an ordinary black powder stain (water soluble) was used. Best regards from Austria

Hello Izak, Great to hear! 😊 If you need any further information, please don´t hesitate to get in touch with us 👍 Best regards from Austria

Hello Marco, We used Fusion360 as CAM software. 🙂 Best regards

Dear Mr. Kater, you're able to download the files on our DIY-Page: www.felder-group.com/en-gb/diy-bass

Thank you for your comment! The program from the 2nd milling with the font cutter are all “just programmed” and the programs are then turned in the Eding CNC control software. For a better understanding, it's best to download the construction instructions! (Download link in the description)

Hello Ramiro, Thanks for your feedback! Please have a look on our website: felder.group/diy-jazzbass Best Regards from Austria

We use NEMA 24 stepper motors

Hi! Unfortunately, we have no data for tele and strat.

You can do that yourself....with the machine...are you asking for vids of it?

we use Fusion360 😊

@@FELDERGROUPTV what's kind of wood you used? tks!

maple and ebony

Hello! The sound pressure of the milling motor at idle is 71 dB(A). This increases depending on the machining strategy, the material and the tool used. Best regards

More precautions should have been in place for inadvertent movement. That could have gone oh so wrong.

We don't sell the guitar , but we will share the project plans of the DIY project 😊

We offer two spindle sizes for the HNC 47.82: - The standard model for hobby use with 1000W. - The professional model for continuous use and the largest possible chip removal with 2200 W.

Hello, we are one of the largest manufacturer for woodworking machines , not for bass guitars 😉 Best Regards

Hello Rodney, we would recommend you to contact your local Instrument maker. Best regards from Austria

they have refused, too much work and too expensive, any chance you can do it?

Sorry Rodney, we are already working on new projects. But If we ever get into the guitar business, we´ll let you know 😉

Its more like 7000$ ;)

Hi Jvin, please get in touch with our sales team to get the right offer with all your wishes.

An automatic tool changer will be developed in the future but is not available on this machine yet. Best regards

we will produce a manual for the bass guitar 😊 We will share on our social media channels then

We will - stay tuned 😉

@@FELDERGROUPTV do you provide the complete project, including 3d?

The construction plan is in preparation. 😉

Truss rod access is at the heel.

Unlimited machining options on the surface as small as a kitchen table: working surface 825 x 479 mm, through feed height 160 mm

Thanks for your feedback 👍

if your neck warps after machining then it wasn't dry in the first place...

@@thomasreynolds1530 Absolutely not true. Wood (particularly kiln-dried woods) have natural stresses. If you're not using absolutely quarter-sawn wood there is definitely a chance of movement after any significant machining operation. But hey - you do you.

@@donvanco3078 no major mfg does this. They do, however, machine with the fretboard on: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2yXm_3dEBNA.html which makes total sense, since it would counter any warping. Have you ever had a neck warp after gluing on the fretboard?

Thank you for your honest feedback 👍🏼

As much as I love the idea of what this technology can do, I have to agree with you Tristan and was thinking much the same whilst watching the video about it being an excellent tool for making templates and radius sanding blocks etc. The amount of expensive wood being wasted here could be vastly reduced though I guess by using an MDF or plywood substrate with the tonewoods, to work around the clamping/waste material issue? I assume the big guitar factories in Indonesia and China are already using CNC as much as possible, but we all know this does not produce instruments of the same quality as those produced by the best luthiers, or worth anything like their instruments (even once a skilled luthier has set them up properly, or as good as you can with what you’re given 😉). £7k is a massive investment for any small guitar builder business and even then, their customers are attracted to them for their personal skills and pay the highest prices for instruments crafted by hand, not on a CNC machine. Otherwise they’d just build kit guitars (if you could find any of decent quality) and sell them on. I also can’t imagine many skilled luthiers would have the patience to re-programme a machine or computer 3D model to adjust or compensate for the small changes that you spot are needed as you’re working, instead of addressing it with hand tools in less time than it takes you boot up a computer. I’m sure one day the technology will improve the interface between the human mind and these machines to make it quicker and easier, but that’s still a long way off. All that said (sorry I know it was a lot) these are amazing machines for the right job

@@stephendixon8575 Hi Stephen! Well, CNC is excellent at repeated jobs so really the money and return comes from how well it is integrated into the process on the whole. Warwick/Framus are an excellent example of this, where they are more or less bringing entirely shaped instruments off the CNC after a small number of machining cycles. Then again, they are charging in the region of several thousand to five figures. A CNC such as this isn't powered for repeated cycles plowing through part after part, however I would happily welcome Hammer/Felder proving me wrong here! My main weapon of choice at work is a 6-axis beast (HOMAG Venture 200) which makes short work of Corian, hardwoods and composites. The Hammer CNC Portal feels more appropriate "as a portal" for taking work from the desktop to the real world; mostly for templates and prototyping than "in the material" itself. For one-off jobs, certainly. So the cost of this is £7k as a turnkey product? That's an incentive that is reachable, and I think the "portal" name has its place. Not too much more expensive than a big gaming PC setup and I'm sure that with the right few paying projects I could run this dead into the ground and still make it pay! haha

1st , your post or comment makes you sound like a giant Snob. 2nd, no where in this video do they talk about " profitable manufacturing efficiency ". You said that so you could then imply it's just an expensive toy. It's not mister Holier than Thou. 3nd, they never said this machine is to allow people to compete with Fender. Your statement is absurd. 4th, they show at least 4 different Templates or holders to make other parts. So what are you even talking about? 5th, and this is a big one ...They never claimed that "traditional manual techniques are no longer necessary". They never even talk about "turnkey solution" in this video. " however it is not a good turnkey solution on its own; I've actually considered this to assist with my furniture manufacture, but it's a big ticket purchase and I do not see sufficient return value as of yet." Well that's your fault. Doesn't mean anything is wrong with this CNC machine and most people looking at it are either still learning how to make guitars , looking for tips or looking for a Mid level CNC machine to step up to from the $500 - $2500 range CNC's machines they probably already own and make money from.

​@@SystematicMechanic I think you need to sit down and catch your breath! Seriously. No need to manufacture mountains out of molehills here.

🤣😂
