There are so many possibilities available to you with your CNC machine. I’m enjoying seeing your progress. Thank you for sharing your workshop developments with us. :)

Just watched your 3 videos in this great series.. Thank you for making it so understandable

Thanks Dave!!!! Just used this video for my first ever cut on my spoil board. Return to zero would have got me for sure. I appreciate the simple explanations from one learner to another. Do more please.

You're learning rapidly Dave. It gives hope to the oldies that they can do it too. Excellent explanations all the way through.

David your series was very simple to follow and helped me find the confidence to do this. Thanks for taking the time to create this series. I've been doubting whether I can do this or not. I can now order my machine from Avid:)

David - i am just getting not cnc and my machine arrives soon. this is one of the clearest videos of the process. thank you!

Dave, thanks for this series on your CNCRP machine. I am using a far inferior machine and am trying to justify the cost of upgrading to this one. Your videos have been by far the most informative on the web I have found yet. If you weren't halfway around the world I would come see it in person, but that is NOT happenning! Thanks again.

Thanks a lot Dave! I have learned so much.

Hi David....This video is just amazing. Shows the very basic things that one should learn and really helpful for a beginner.... the way you were describing is awesome...

Absolutely amazing, thanks for sharing.Loved it! Great work.Iam now your channel subscriber

Dave I am following this with great interest because I am soon going to build my own CNC. I have followed Dave Gatton's CNC build and his might be of interest to your users as well. I wanted to start all of this, over a year ago, but got delayed so like anything if you don't keep up you lose it. So as I said I am watching with great interest your beginnings with CNC. Just remember those that follow this will have a ton of questions and it is good that you are doing this as a side to your normal channel. Thank you for taking on this endeavor.

finally a clear tutorial , on the point.

Excellent little series on aspire, such a pity that you did not continue into more videos on Aspire, you have a great voice and pleasant style of teaching.

Hi dave, great video. Just trying to learn cad cam for my machine. You recently liked my curved hardwood bench and fire pit on festool owners group. Many thanks for that. 👍👍👍

Today, I've visited a beginner wood carving class held by a senior, very experienced wood carver. While I was learning the very basics of carving, the topic of conversation suddenly turned to CNC routing and that he has a brand new CNC router in the other workshop which he hasn't started working with yet since he lost the translated manual for it and cannot understand English well. Being a software developer, I've no trouble with the language and I'm quite used to getting machines do what I want. Since most of my knowledge of CAM is theoretical (I did a few models in Fusion 360 as a hobby), your videos on Aspire and Mach3, setting up the machine... etc. will prove invaluable for me tomorrow morning, when we've agreed to give setting up the machine another try. Thank you.

Thanks dave keep up your great work.

great work done Dave, I prefer the KISS method so your doing it right for us CNC newbies :D , just ordered my CNC machine from YETI TOOLING , I was pointed their direction by RON PAULK , after visiting them, I ordered it. :D Keep these videos coming please.

Very cool process. I like it.

Great Video David

In a word “love it”. Dave

Extremely clear demo Dave Thanks. Also, vague memories of happy days in Oz as well! After struggling to create an array of holes with freecad and giving up on Fusion 360 after a) a UI change and then b) finding the UI would only appear correctly in French (not just me) I watched the array function engaged as smooth as silk. Intend to deploy this on my recently completed MPCNC router. Might be able to afford a beauty like your rig one day but doubt it! Thanks again, just hoping the Aspire gcode is compatable with Marlin firmware

Thanks Dave!

Nice video sir, thank you

Very good.thanks

That’s awesome!! I think I was just as nervous as you. Lol

Newby - Thanks I understood everything

Dave, wonderful presentation style, relaxed, friendly and informative. I'm new to CNC, so on a steep learning curve. Videos like yours really help.

Amazing ...

Just put my order in for a CNCRP PRO4896 as well. Thanks for the videos!

brilliant

Fascinating, but way beyond my pay grade!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks, I am new as well.. I have a 4x8 CNC with 4th rotary axis coming from China, should arrive in couple months. I will be using Mach3 so this helps. Anyone have opinion on best and easiest CAM software to use for design and setting tools, speeds, and feeds?

Hey David, your videos are impressive and very helpful, thanks for your time doing this - also I love the flat clamp you use I did a quick search but seems I cannot find them, would you be so kind to share brand and model ? hopefully they are available in Europe.... thanks in advance - Roberto

Hello David, Thanks for the video. It was amazing to see the job done. Can you please give us instructions to operate a new cnc machine with cut 2d pro and mach 3. I've been trying to use them two but i couldn't make it work. And how should we operate a new machine. Thank you Dave!! great video!!!

Thank's David for this great video, where can I find the script for the auto tool zero.?

you have a vaccum pump?

Hi Dave great video , very informative. Can I ask what brand and model cnc router that is. Thanks

Could you tell me that VB Script what you use for 'Auto tool zero' ?

Hi have a general mach3 issue....and i am new to mach3...in jog mode it wont move in step...only moves continuous....any ideas why?.....i use the mpg on screen navigation and have i in step mode at .100 per step and no axis moves

Nice work sir! How long was your build time prior to bringing it to life? Any thoughts about a mobile base? Thanks, Enjoy!

Dave, question.. If you load a full sheet of 1200 X 240, can you hold down without nails or screws ? (On your 1200 wide gantry) or do you need the 1500 wide gantry and then use Festool type dog/clamp? Im wondering if I should get the 1500 wide gantry based on that alone.

Hi dave do you know anything about the ATC machines I'm looking at buying a cnc router, but the software seem very frightened when using ATC. I think vcarve and mach 3 looks ok just looking for some advice. Keep up your great work 👏.

Dave, I am setting up my cnc with mach3. Do I need xyz switchs to set up the zero ?

Hi David, thanks for your videos. Could you please tell me the brand of your helmet or where did you buy it? thanks, Pter

I’m enjoying the vids. Very informative and easy to understand. But I keep trying to nod off. Your voice and the manner in how you talk reminds me of Bob Ross. Lol I have a much cheaper router (bobscnc E3) but I’m trying to learn to use aspire with it. I have a couple 3d printers so much of what I already know is making the learning curve not as bad. Keep up with the vids. They are appreciated! 👍

I like your style and the content and I subscribed, but I just finished my CNC hardware and the Mach4 setup so I have a functional moving machine and ready to start the Aspire part. But as luck would have it, you skipped the ONE thing I needed most at this moment. The point at which you are done with Aspire and you save it as a gcode file. There is a process where the file is converted into a g-code file that is specific to Mach3. You mentioned briefly Mach3 arcs mm. I am using Mach4 and imperial so I assume the process is different since Mach4 is a different flavor. Have you looked at the different flavors of post processors and have any insight to share on them ?

Hi Dave. I am looking at purchasing a touch plate , can you advise where you purchased the one in your video.

Hello from Newfoundland! Just bought a machine like yours and have it partially assembled. Did you have any issues with grease nipples stripping out or falling out when removing grease gun? Also I've been thinking about hold downs. The ones in your video look neat. Can you provide some info on them? Thanks for a great series of videos!

Hi thanks for your tutorial so where can I find this device

Software looks like it's from the early 90's !

Just learning Mach3 and when I use the keyboard to move the spindle, the directions are consistently opposite. Do I have a box that is checked or needs to be checked to fix this? Page up lowers and Page down raises. Left arrow is Y up, Right Arrow is Y down, Up arrow is X to the left and down arrow is X to the right.

Can you make a video in useing t mach 3 to make pcb

My tool showing error.. Trial version of the software can only save toolpath for data from the supplied tutorial files. Load an unmodified tutorial file to test machine output

Is there a Oz link for the corner touch plate ?

Any idea why mach3 doesn't recognize diy cnc? Mach3 is configured and cnc plugged into USB on back. Thx in advance for any knowledge

When I try to use the touch plate I get an error that says "Error on line 22" Anyone know what this might mean?

how do you get it to fill up the screen? Mine is 1/4 to 1/3 the size of my screen.

Hi Dave, Just ordered a 3040T with a VFD motor, you said not to touch the spindle why is that, I'm a Noob?

Hi david i mach3 my router is plunging down then dragging across the bed then retracting back up to the start point can you help thank stuart

What is the Name of Software please

I’m jealous

Shame MACH3 doesn't show a picture of the design you are about to cut.

Hi have a general mach3 issue....i am new to mach3......in jog mode it wont move in step...only moves continuous....any ideas why?.....i use the mpg on screen navigation and have i in step mode at .100 per step and no axis moves
