I've added @LagunaTools Swift 4x8 CNC to my shop and I couldn't be more excited! I wanted to make a quick video and talk about my first impressions and how I think it's going to affect my business and my content moving forward. I also made my first CNC project. A “welcome” sign for the front porch!

I'm so happy for you man! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

@CoffeyCustomBuilds 3 года назад

Thanks bro! Still quite intimidating. I'll get there. Should be really comfortable by Christmas!

@IMEEMADE 3 года назад

We're excited for you and your new CNC adventures! It definitely opens up a lot of opportunities especially one that size!

@CoffeyCustomBuilds 3 года назад

Thanks guys. I'm so pumped!

@JohnGrubb1 3 года назад

Honestly excited to see you progress in your knowledge. I’m right with you on a smaller scale and I’m excited for the new opportunities that are ahead.

@dirtytimbers1541 3 года назад

I purchased this same machine a couple months ago. It’s supposed to be getting delivered in a month or so. Look forward to following you and learning along the way. Good luck on your adventure.

@CoffeyCustomBuilds 2 года назад

Hopefully you have it by now! It's an amazing machine. In fact I'm ordering a Smartshop 2.

@ringo2398 3 года назад

I have the exact same machine. love it. once i learnt what feeds and speeds it could handle, its greatly enhance my production. Don't just get hooked on Amana bits. that was my mistake because they came with the machine. Now im using whiteside and vortex as well as amana. Vortex has a speed and feed app...love it, its helped me a ton. i use a 3/4 inch spoil board on mine with dog clamps. works well. Enjoy and looking forward to seeing some of your projects...Have fun!

@CoffeyCustomBuilds 3 года назад

I'm a huge whiteside fan. I plan on picking up several. And I very recently heard about Vortex. I definitely need to look into them. Any you recommend? I'm working on a new style of spoilboard. Very excited to show it off soon. I think it will be a game changer.

@ringo2398 3 года назад

Coffey Custom Builds I mostly use a 1/4” down cut from vortex. I cut allot of Baltic birch ply with it and solid maple and solid fir with it, works awesome.

People lean into tropes way too much. Epoxy only. CNC only. Hand tools only. It all has its place but you gotta mix it up.

@jonathanhaley7878 3 года назад

Finally came across your videos man! Awesome! Have you had a chance to start leveling slabs on your CNC yet? I heard they are great for that. Just curious after seeing this and then watching your slab coffee table video. Congrats on the purchase. You've got a new fan.

@CoffeyCustomBuilds 3 года назад

I have actually flattened quite a few now. It's incredible how fast it does it too. A huge time saver for that. I appreciate the support very much! Thank you!

@joelanderegg2092 3 года назад

CNC can be intimidating if you are new to it. It does get fun trying new things though. Lots of little tricks you can do to improve run time, quality, etc

@CoffeyCustomBuilds 3 года назад

It was definitely intimidating for a couple months. Then it clicked. I'm not a pro or anything but I understand it more and it's so fun.

@Roswell_1947 3 года назад

Hello Coffee. I about to purchase the same machine for my garage. Did you have to do any power upgrades for your breaker to handle it? How fast does it pump out one of those large flags I saw in your other video? How loud is it when it’s powered on and cutting? Thanks in advance

@CoffeyCustomBuilds 3 года назад

Hello Beest. You will need a 30amp 220v service. It can do a flag in about 15 minutes. Between the machine and the dust collection I wear hearing protection. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@user-ko3cb2hm4j Год назад

We are gearing up to buy a router and after several attempts to talk to a live person at Laguna we figured out quickly that they weren't the company for us. Sales guy was a smart @ss. We decided to go with our second choice, Camaster.

that's very disappointing to hear. Laguna has been great to me for years.
