I'm used to larger, corded routers ru-vid.comUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

Love this book! ru-vid.comUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

I have been running a machine commercially for 2 years now and still feel like I have no idea what to charge, some jobs go so easy and others a very difficult! I have learned that even though the machine is "doing all the work", learning how to use it properly and efficiently is also a huge undertaking. Thanks for the tips, probably a little late for me but hopefully others are smart enough to start here!

@ravenartsandgraphics4456 3 года назад

Excellent work. I'm retired and ordered a 4x8 CNC kit. I know it's an ambitious decision to build since I have zero CNC experience but, I figured what better way to learn my machine. I'm hoping that it may help diagnose machine issues that may arise later. This video was very informative and well presented . Direct, to the point, and no annoying music. Keep 'em coming.

@efishnc 3 года назад

Hello!! Great Video and you nailed it in regards to accepting mistakes, and learning, then moving forward. I have been in CNC for 25+ years, and as a machinist I understand speeds and feeds, the hardest part for me is getting used to working with wood, (0.005" tolerance doesn't exist in woodworking! and thank God for Wood Filler ) I have built a hobby machine and am making signs. and such for friends and family. My hardest thing is putting a price on the fun side of it, which is the creating. Cutting is fine, but taking an photo and carving it is the fun challenge for me, and also the fun. I look online to get comparisons from others so I have been using that as a price gauge. So far I know have been charging less as I am very gratified to see peoples reaction, but as retirement is getting closer, I would like to figure out what are realistic charges I should be making. Thanks again and I will be watching your channel.

Extremely well done without too much unexplained jargon. The cost calculations alone are worth watching this vid. multiple times especially since machine use time vs machine investment, Include dedicated work space, bits, materials for learning, final product material storage for material and possibly sound reduction in the work room. Then how does a retired non machinist price his/her time?

@placitas52 3 года назад

Nice video. Thanks for the info. I am never sure of my speed and feed. I carve MDF which just makes dust. I carved some Maple with half inch end mill shaping cut. Chips flew and it was obvious that the feed was matching the spindle speed, but I don't see this with smaller bits.

I have been watching you for a little while now. You’re doing more than sharing tips on cnc and the business of cnc, you’re sharing Business. I like that a lot about you. I think it’s important to stay on your niche and work toward CNC crowd, but you definitely need to be doing some business targeted content on a channel for that, too. If you already do, I would love to go learn there as well. Thanks for you effort bro. Don’t forget to thumbs up my comment and reply with your thoughts about it, it helps so much.

Good advise here thanks. I am not new to CNC machining but I am new to the small machines. I recently purchased a Sainsmart 4040 pro and I am having trouble with chatter. I am cutting 1/4" Hickory and Walnut with bits from 1/8" up yo 1/4". So far I have had the best luck with a 3/16" single flute up cut tool. I am starting to think that the supplied spindle needs to be replaced with a heavier duty model. Any advise you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I'm a newbie and at the end of your video strangely I've though exactly the opposite of what you were saying. "Speed up your RPM or slow down your feed rate..." to avoid friction as you said in the case of running the bit too slow

@incubatork 3 года назад

If your bit is spining too fast the cutting edge gets round for the next cut before the machine moved enough to present new material so it rubs on the already cut surface creating friction and heat, when cutting speed is correct the heat is carried away by the swarf and away from the bit, you can see this better when cutting metal. Check out the temperature of your swarf you will find its a lot warmer than the piece your cutting. I think he meant moving too slow for the rpm on the machine.

I’m looking to get into CNC and I’m not certain which machine I should get. I sell (mainly) American Flags, cutting boards, and Adirondack chairs I make. I was thinking I could use the CNC to engrave/personalize the cutting boards and use it to cut out parts for the chairs as well as personalize the chairs, and use it to make higher end American flags out of walnut, maple, and Paduak . Which CNC would you recommend I get to accomplish those goals ? Thank you
