Thank you. My latest machines have come a long way since this vid was posted.

@krsslim 12 лет назад

I have to say I honestly have this inbuilt reflex where the second I hear that song I hit the back button on my mouse as fast as humanly possible, seeing as I wouldnt of minded actually watching this video I fought the urge to go back & thought I would post this hopefully friendly & useful note.

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

This machine was designed & built primarily to machine holes in chipboard for cabinet construction. It was able to machine MDF, but I found it was a bit weak to machine hardwood/aluminium unless it was done in many passes. I built another machine and made some changes. The new one is much more powerful with a 2.2Kw spindle, floating foot dust extraction & vacuum hold down. It can handle all timbers, plastics and aluminium.

@EugeneVashenko 11 лет назад

Thank you. Yes, there are 2 motors - each with it's own driver. One is set up as normal, 2nd one is reversed and a slave to the first. This way it's always in synch - unless physically forced out of alignment. If so, then just stop, ref all home, and continue cutting!

@minitruckin 13 лет назад

THAT turned out very nice! CLEAN! great job!

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

OK, I'll think about it. I will need a few days to clean them up so everyone will understand them. I have all the drawings as well as a list of materials. This machine was designed around 100x50mm (4"x2") cold rolled rectangle tube for the rails. If you can source this locally, you should be able to build it.The table can be built out of anything you like, as long as it's braced correctly.

That's beautiful.

@ashishvatchas 8 лет назад

one of the sexiest cnc built i have ever seen.hats off buddy.

@MikelBarriolaS 10 лет назад

Felicitaciones. La máquina luce implecable.

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

The rack is laser cut into the Z slide and the pinion is just a bought one. Like any rack & pinion, the design has to ensure it is preloaded to maintain position.

@ibainesy 10 лет назад

5 seconds into the music aaaaaand i'm gone.

@rcpmac 6 лет назад

Ian Baines you have a volume control?

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

Thank you, it took a lot of thought to design it. LOL, it does look like it's moving to the tune, but it was just a coincidence

@chivascheng8728 9 лет назад

TALENT!

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

My accuracy is no worse than if I used rack & pinion or ball screws. If anything, it is better, as there is no backlash when using chain. The repeatability is perfect. If I machine a sheet of HDPE in 3 passes, you cannot see any of the passes, it looks like it was done in one go.

@Jhihmoac 12 лет назад

The now defunct Hitachi-Seiki vertical CNC machining centers worked a bit like the configuration you have...The difference was that the table moved in Y (front and back), while the spindle moved up and down (Z) and left and right (X)...

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

Dell runs XP Pro and works for me. There is really no need for a new PC with 64bit CPU, etc, etc to run a CNC machine as the older ones are adequate for the job.

@skypix777 11 лет назад

Very nice creation, congratulations...even the music was good, which is usually not the case with RU-vid videos.

Really well build ! What kind or linear rails do you use ?

@allangee 7 лет назад

That acrylic you're machining is SUPER transparent! Where can I buy some?

@EugeneVashenko 11 лет назад

I make/sell machines and kits - they all use roller chain and it works very well..... Some are direct drive, some are geared. Gearing reduces speed but increases torque/resolution. Cutting speed depends on many factors - mainly spindle RPM, number of flutes, endmill diameter, depth of cut and quality of finish desired..... Don't get too focused on a set IPM, for best results, use a Feed and Speed Calculator to determine optimum cutting speeds.

@PyroEvil 11 лет назад

lol but I imagine you can carve/cut at 200-250 ipm depend on the depth , router and endmill used ?

@ARMANDO3813 8 лет назад

me gusto la figura que hiso

@EugeneVashenko 13 лет назад

Thank you

@salehh9761 10 лет назад

Great ,,, i want meet you and want teach me do it meself How long time take ?! And how much cost?!

@EugeneVashenko 11 лет назад

Don't be too impressed LOL. It was a test run at 500 IPM, no actual carving was done at that speed. Cutting speeds depend on many factors, main one being endmill size. The 1/4" bit would have likely snapped at that speed.... IIRC, that table used 425 oz-in motors.

@LomionTM 9 лет назад

best song ever :D

@matthewmara746 8 лет назад

Sick video! I wish i was that popular :(

@jessmarenko 7 лет назад

LOL same

@tat2joeelliott 11 лет назад

thats a pretty bad ass machine would love to see plans on it

@EugeneVashenko 11 лет назад

It was built almost 3 years ago, I really don't remember. I already had all the steel and many other items. Maybe $1000 or so?

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

It's not a secret - I'm using skate bearings. If you read the comments in my other videos, you will find more answers re. linear motion and drivers on this 1st table. I've almost finished my 3rd table with a work area of 2440x1220mm. I have used the same bearing setup, but am trying out T5 belt as I couldn't get enough chain. I'm hoping the belt will work well.....I'll post some vids when it's running.

@PyroEvil 11 лет назад

sorry , I read in others videos you drive it by chain. It's directly connected to spockets or you have gears system to reduce/increase speed/force ratio ?

@alapin11 11 лет назад

Hello, your machine is great! I see 2 motors on the x axis, don't you have any square gantry problems in case of missing steps or when turn off the machine? thanks

@PyroEvil 11 лет назад

You can engrave at 500ipm ... impressive for me. What is the power of your stepper with you kit ? 425 oz-in or more ?

@PyroEvil 11 лет назад

and what is the drive system ? acme screw , chain drive or pinion&rack ?

@Serbo-Greek 11 лет назад

No words for this... I have 2 questions. The wooden part is your base work table or this is the material you want to cut? And how you hold the material that you cut withowt vacum like many router cutters? Thanx!

@anlpereira 11 лет назад

I liked it very much, where I can download the plans? Thank you

@zagoaristides 12 лет назад

hello, nice work. I want to know how you send signals from PC to the router. Can you explain me that. Thanks a lot.

@EugeneVashenko 11 лет назад

Probably, I can't remember. This machine was built and sold over 2 years ago....

@EugeneVashenko 11 лет назад

Sure, buy my kit and you can be cutting on your own machine in just a few days. :D

@ankval73 12 лет назад

Hello What positional accuracy do you have on your machine. I understand submission of the axes X and Y through your chain?

@zagoaristides 12 лет назад

only the parallel port? So you have, PC - Parallel Port - Step Motor Controller, and that it! Wich software do you use?

@1pcfred 11 лет назад

At first I thought I must be slowing down in my old age this time I caught it in 2 seconds. But I knew it was going to be bad.

@ankval73 12 лет назад

Thank you for your reply! If not a secret, you are using bearings of the axes X and Y? I am very impressed with your machine, here in Russia I have not seen such a mechanics. Great.

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

The PC uses the parallel port to communicate with the drivers

@darrenfarrell8316 7 лет назад

how much did this cnc machine cost would like to bye one like it Darren

@EugeneVashenko 7 лет назад

You can buy a kit from the website and build your own - xyz-cnc.com

@denisuryana7599 11 лет назад

amaizing,how, you translate design to G-code ?

have some detail for build cnc detail - tutorial? ps great job

@azizhoho1624 6 лет назад

Hello Can you buy it from the internet

@MultiRosino 12 лет назад

de uma olhada no google e me fala Kit Para Montar Sua Router Não Perca Esta Oportunidade.

@fltg4324 11 лет назад

Hello Eugene Vashenko a great machine. I will build a cnc, same as your machine. do you have information for my? cncfre

@MeLinhLam 11 лет назад

There is one flaw in this design The X axis is being held down only by the roller chain. There arent any bearings underneath the X square rails. I can see you have bearings on top and side of the rails.

@kocnn 7 лет назад

Very nice clean design, do you still use it?

@EugeneVashenko 7 лет назад

Thank you. I sold it many years ago & have built many more since then

@kocnn 7 лет назад

I'm getting ready to build one, do you have tips for us on a cnc build either 4x4 or 4x6 not sure yet, what bearings are a good choice and is arduino okay to use? Thanks, Have a great weekend, Kevin

@EugeneVashenko 7 лет назад

Sorry for the late reply Kevin. Tips? I have many, I'll list 3 For your first build, keep it simple. Chances are by the time you are finished, you will want to build another one anyway. See if you can find a design you like and build a similar one, rather than reinventing the wheel. Forget the arduino and buy a G540 to save yourself a lot of headaches and wasted time.

@kocnn 7 лет назад

1 no problem, 2 yes I will definitely keep it simple, 3 I think thats how they are all done, we kind of take bits and pieces and call it our own. how is your machine traversing back and forth? belts? lead screw? I have one more question that I cant find a solid answer to. can a wheel be mounted instead of belts and pulleys. like a skateboard wheel, I understand it would need an encoder but I see no problem using 3 wheels, 2 on top one on bottom kind of configuration. nobody is doing it thats why I want to. Do you see any problems with that? I understand keep it simple and that seems the simplest to me. Thank you so much Eugene and have a great day

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

I posted a vid of my 2nd router, check out my other videos. As I have had many requests for plans & parts, I set up a website where people will be able to buy several different DIY kits of my latest machine. I decided against selling the plans, sorry :(

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

No, there is enough info on CNCzone already. Everything you need to know and a lot more. There are a bunch of other websites as well. Buildyourcnc(dot)com has lots of videos. Search and you will find....

@industrial.inoxidable 4 года назад

Hello Friend. I am in a project to make a cnc table. I still have to wire the race limit switches that go to the card. I have a diagram of the card and the limits. You can help me ? I can send it to you by email. I would greatly appreciate it

@polarbear666666 11 лет назад

okey then are you interested in sharing those plans??

@MultiRosino 12 лет назад

Kit Para Montar Sua Router Não Perca Esta Oportunidade.

@lukehorobin5430 12 лет назад

I understand exactly what you are saying. As a hobbyist $10,000 would be well out of my price range. I only just found your video so I didn't contact you about a kit, though I am very interested, however I expect even your kit will be outside of my budget. I have found a company in England selling a professional CNC 4 axis router for £3300, which would be towards the upper end of my budget. I do however like the look of your machine. How much are you selling kits for?

@1pcfred 12 лет назад

I made it to 0:10 how far did you get?

@bosnikchu 11 лет назад

Please friend, tell me how much money you ''set aside'' or you paid for all of this ?

@amr6987 12 лет назад

Would you be interested in selling the plans?

@RTLorenti 12 лет назад

what is it with this song!!!!!

@gurushantk6341 7 лет назад

what could be the cost of it

@EugeneVashenko 7 лет назад

It was built many years ago, I don't remember the cost.

@andregross7420 11 лет назад

All rise for youtubes national anthem.

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

Please do not email me asking for plans. I said I will think about it, and I will. I have hundreds of hours invested in these drawings. IF I do decide to release them, they will be sold, not emailed for free.

@islamn799 6 лет назад

how! how!how!

@9876543210goodbye 10 лет назад

you know what? music should be excluded from all innovative tubes!

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

Exactly. That's what I tried telling him.......

@pleasanthacking 12 лет назад

pwetty :)

@1pcfred 12 лет назад

Since when has LinuxCNC supported USB as an output device? I'm pretty sure LinuxCNC doesn't run on 64 bits either. Different computers have different latencies. Whether more money spent achieves lower latency remains to be seen, but it often can translate into higher top speed. For what you spent you could have gotten an atom.

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

Actually, it's very much in most peoples price range. I have had a lot of genuine interest from people who want a complete, working table, ready to use - that's why I changed the website. I wanted to sell kits - did you contact me? Quite a few people did, and I replied to everyone (I think) who contacted me. But only 2 people wrote back saying they might be interested, some said they weren't ready to buy, and most never replied..... Doesn't exactly inspire confidence, know what I'm saying?

@XHover 12 лет назад

whats up with this song on almost every cnc video lol

@bhebynash1341 11 лет назад

wow nice one, sir can you share your wisdom to me :D

@nationsnumber1chump 11 лет назад

wait wait, all the speed but no torque. lmao why not use a bigger router??

@yeahitworks 12 лет назад

You can use USB interface such as smoothstepper and get a new machine, if you really want to e fancy, a 64bit fast new machine, is really unecessary... I have a 1.8ghz dell ($50 bucks on ebay) runs on linuxcnc, and hobbycnc pro ($79) and the guys asked me why I use old pc, I asked them, did it give them any advantage spending $2k on their PC and usb interface, me setup is just $150 bucks, and it does the same thing... now convince why I would spend $2k???

@haroldojuniorjj 10 лет назад

Very good! Excellent! Accepts request?

@lukehorobin5430 12 лет назад

I don't see any DIY kits, just something about $10,000 for a CNC table. That is outside most peoples price range. I thought you were selling DIY kits?

@bosnikchu 11 лет назад

Thank you . Can you send me your mail in 'inbox' or skype ? I want to learn about this .. Hello friend, tell me please: 1. Can you controll all of this with microcontroller ? Computer + mach3 = microcontroller . 2. You buy this of longs or wantai ? Where are you from ? I want to buy this but i am afraid to don't come me .

@sn0wchyld 10 лет назад

LOL. YOU FORGOT TO PUT YOUR PIECE TO BE CUT ON THE TABLE. :-P

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

If people buy new machines to run CNC, it's because they haven't done any research. It's better to research exactly what combinations work well together, and try to stick to what others have had success with, otherwise you may expend considerable time and money and get nowhere...

@EugeneVashenko 12 лет назад

Check out my other vids & read the comments. I've answered some questions re. stepper size, driver, etc.
