Had a lot of fun putting my machine together a few years ago. I mad a vacuum table with mine and it's well worth the effort. Let me know if you need any tips. Ian
@@Woodbrew And in some ways save you money. Its like having another employee, that you don’t have to pay benefits or wages. Wow, could it replace Dylan? LOL.
Hi 👋, Dylan & Molly , Great territorial on assembling your new CNC router table, Especially as you’re both working together I hope you have a great success, When using this machine safety is paramount, mainly into respect of dust, You may think you have got sufficient dust extraction put my past experience you can come back the next day after clearing up and you have dust particles line on your surface on the floor and workbench. Which you probably will be in inhaling, Sorry if I seem that I am pushing the safety aspect but I lost a colleague about 25 years ago. Insufficient extraction, So my advice is to wear a respirator and with one with ear defenders to protect your ears as well. Great territorial looking forward to seeing more design work and manufacturing. All the best to the future to you both stay safe, Retired Englishman now living in France. Phil from the moulin
I have a 4X8 Avid and absolutely love it. I use mine to assist my woodworking, but I probably should put it to work. P.S. I set up my vertical table in the front and only have about 3" of cut area (deep) but I haven't needed more, so think about that. I also got the rotary attachment, but haven't used it yet :) Yea I need to get on that too. Congratulations on your new toy. Oh by the way I named mine "Archie" as in Archie Bunker, it screams a lot :)
Let's go before things get weird.... as Dylan strokes the tall spindle shaft.... Think you might have been a smidge too late there Molly! :). John Malecki calls the mashoosinormous Avid CNC they have Miss Piggy. So I think you should name yours after a Muppet too. Like Animal. Or Gonzo. :)
Where did you get the dust shoe for your 8.7hp spindle? You mentioned in your video a link, but I don’t see it. I’ve just completed my 5x10 AVID table with the same spindle.
HECK YES! The "Vertical Table Kit" is really just an extra "electronics bar" and "Horizontal cross member". I may be butchering the technical names of these parts, but if you call Avid's support line they will steer you in the right direction.
~15k, but there are more entry level models that are much less expensive. They will do all the same things this machine can do, but usually are a smaller footprint and can't cut as quickly through material.
We’ve been testing everything back and forth and haven’t decided which to dedicate time to yet. I (Dylan) am very proficient at Sketchup, so I’ve been working through that process trying things out from SketchUp - V-Carve - Mach4. I’m have decent at fusion 360 so we’ve been dabbling with that too. Whatever we decide we will include it in future videos👌🏼
@@Woodbrew I went with vCarve Pro. If you want to evaluate it, easy way is to look at RU-vid videos by “CNC Routers, Beginners and Beyond - Garrett Fromme”. Nice thing about a CNC, it is independent of the software. As long as the software generates the code. Looking forward to seeing what you do with that new “toy”.
I am sure you know the importance of having people sub and punch the like button. However, people are unlikely to do what they are not asked to do. In other words if you want patreons you may find asking for them is more helpful and at the very beginning of your piece you may find asking for people to “hammer” the like button increases participation. So that I eat my one medicine, will you go ahead and open up your Woodbrews with a request for Likes, Subs and Patreons?
