Love this idea! Was sanding the inside rings difficult? I think getting the inner circles to line up just right without smearing glue everywhere must have been challenging. I think you are becoming the CNC subject matter expert. Way to go!
The alignment part wasnt too bad, but the sanding of the inner rings was tedious. I don't have a spindle sander so I had to do it all by hand. Thanks for the continued support Dude Sawdust and congrats on 2k subscribers!
Nice job on the video. I normally finish my inlays first, takes extra set up time. fyi I have both festool rotex, and the $180 ali express sander... i wouldnt buy the rotex again
Thank you Ryan. I am still getting used to the rotex as it has a lot more torque than any sander I have ever used. Can you share with me your reasons for not wanting to buy the rotex again? I am curious to hear your thoughts.
@@EigenDesigns the alie express 6" sander is $200 festool is $700 cdn I bought it after watching a UK review. I love my festool tools. I like my bank account more.
@@Island.dweller so far, I can't see the value it brings for the cost it has. The domino, on the other hand, totally different story. I think its worth its weight in gold. But the rotex hasn't blown me away yet. Just my early thoughts. Thanks for sharing with me.
Love the project! Question on the table saw. Where did you get the blade cover/dust hood? That looked like a Laguna Fusion. I have the F3 and love that dust hood. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Hey Stan, the dust cover/hood I am using is the floating dust collection guard that is available through sawstop. It was an optional add-on when I purchased my sawstop. If you click this link you can see the build that I have through the sawstop website: www.sawstop.com/build#build-price/professional-cabinet-saw/professional-cabinet-saw_PCS31230_TGP236A_MB-PCS-IND_FDC
Awesome build man! Gotta be careful putting that dark epoxy on maple, stains the wood. I had a batch of these “tequila boards” made up and I was going g to put black epoxy over the lettering to get them to stand out but I ruined them all cause it stained the wood😂. Even after I tried sanding it off
@@hcamardelle I put the gearbox up on my Etsy store for you today. Feel free to give it a look when you have some time: www.etsy.com/listing/1192476310/wooden-gear-box-cnc-digital-carving?ref=listings_manager_grid
I was explaining all the different products I could make with a CNC. During the conversation a light bulb with off. You could in theory make products like a 3D printer in layers. The difference between the 2 would be the waste wood for the CNC. If you can tolerate the waste wood, the sky's the limit. I've told my wife I want to marry the two technologies together. Making a product with the CNC and accessories with the 3D printer.
