PRO Build Series: Assembling the Benchtop PRO CNC Router from CNC Router Parts 

Thanks Dave! -Nathan

Yep! I'm going to sell my current CNC and get this due to rigidity issues.

Never is a bit strong, we will certainly move away from Mach3 when the transition is a demonstrable net improvement for our customers. This is something our engineering and QA team is actively evaluating. Thanks! -Nathan

Hi! We've measured the repeatability of these Pepperl+Fuchs sensors to be around 0.008mm. They also happen to be incredibly stout & reliable, we really like them. -Nathan

Hi Mert, it is a re-enforced flexible dust cover fabric that is fastened to both ends of the unit and passes through a slot in the moving axis carriage assembly. Thanks! -Nathan

cncrouterparts so basically, a genius idea to protect ball screws and rails! :D

Thanks! It is certainly a very effective solution, though, it is a bit of a shame to have nice shiny precision ballscrews hidden from plain view! -Nathan

cncrouterparts that's true, they are a piece of beauty! Is there a chance to get a close-up of the part with the slot. Maybe a video called 'how to protect your machine from debris'? :)

pro vs standard. big differences in terms of rails and leadscrews. but they still claim really good repeatability on the standard.

Hi! Yes, good question. Not all Nema 23 motors are created equal. The Nema 23 designtation is mainly used for the dimensional size of the motor and mounting holes. There are a variety of manufactures who use different specifications for Oz/inch, inductance, motor shaft, and the gauge of the wires in the internal coils.

10000% right 😂😂😂

@@DiscoverRajivVlogs i want to build my own cnc machine, can you suggest

@@9015518370 If you wanna make own cnc then you would have to select your own design first. It's very time consuming work ,also you need ton of knowledge if you building it using arduino. Hopefully If you have little bit of electronics and machining experience you can do it very easily.

@@DiscoverRajivVlogs yes i am a embedded engineer, but don't know much about mechanical design, suggest me some good prebuild controllers

Yeah.. me too. I'll continue dreaming for now! Lol!

It might be closer to $9,000.00 when all is said and done.

Hi, I'd recommend reviewing our assembly instructions or this video series to get a sense for building your machine, setting it up, and creating/running projects. All available on this channel and our website www.cncrouterparts.com! -Nathan

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9vcv1fzWMhs.html Here is a Benchtop Pro workbench we designed last year, it is very similar to the one in this video.

The Benchtop Standard is a great cost-effective alternative at about half the price of the Benchtop PRO. Instead of the dual drive ballscrew the drive train is a 5 start lead screw system.

Thanks. You've got our back, thanks for the feedback Lee! -Nathan

Hi Ronnie, A complete & well-configured Benchtop PRO 2424 starts just under $5000 (NEMA23, outer mount), $6750 with our industrial 3HP spindle cutting system. -Nathan

your and me both.

Looks expensive

But seriously.. I didn't knew I needed a CNC router in my life until now

@@georgeowen2083 Depends on your use case. A bench mill rarely has the working surface this has. Moreover the spindle speed on a bench mill is typically designed for working with ferrous metals and as such has much lower rpms making it harder to work with things like aluminum or other softer metals. I should point out that since my original comment I have managed to get enough cash together for a machine like this (different brand mind you) and I must say there would be no way for me to do what I need to do on a bench mill. In fact at some point I will probably own both (bit low on space now).

MySchizo Buddy ATC spindles are a LOT more money, but there's no reason you can't use one here. None of these systems actually come with spindles anyway, leaving you to decide what you want.

For $3200 they better come with a direct link to God! PS They are great looking machines though!

Doc Knowles ATC should be an option. As well as a direct link to god. $2000 stepcraft cnc gives you an option for an ATC.

Doc Knowles 3200 is just the machine without the spindle and controller. You have to buy them separately
