Video

Hello I really enjoyed watching your video. I own a countertop and cabinet business and we have purchased a CNC machine for small projects. We recently started looking into running the machine at full potential. I am really interested in talking to you about getting our machine ready for a more vigorous production schedule. How can we reach out about hiring you for our project to get us going?

This series is really cool. I just got a cheap vertical injection machine (aliexpress) and a nice (but old) industrial CNC mill and working out a nicer clamp on the bottom was what brought me here. Fun stuff!

The precision and detail this machine delivers are outstanding, especially with its 30W power, which handles a wide range of materials effortlessly. The setup was straightforward, and the user-friendly interface made it easy to start engraving almost immediately. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, the MONPORT GP 30 offers reliable performance and versatility that’s hard to beat. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their laser engraving work. I love this much!

Can you tell how do you calibrate your index sensor , couse mine does read but the process to synk is the trick

Thank you for the great video!

Great video thank you!

Great video! I just purchased the rotary attachment. What settings are you using for it? I can't get it dialed in.

Love this series!! No idea why its such low views after 5 years!

Love this vid! Thanks for the rundown! So if all those parameters are dialled in under the max tolerances how accurate will the machine be? (Repeatability accuracy?) Cheap cncs are approx 0.02mm Decent quality is approx 0.01mm (10microns) And precision machines (kern, etc) are under 0.005mm The kerns with hydrostatic bearings and temperature control to prevent thermal expansion have 0.002 - 0.003mm repeatability (2 - 3 micron!!) That's fkn crazy!!! Lol I need to build one for making watch parts, I need at least 0.008 repeatability for watch parts that will be flawless. It'd be great to know where your cheat sheet would put us at? I suspect if you get on those numbers we'd be talking a very precise machine similar to the Haas quality if not better. I'd love to hear some opinions!!

Always loved your work

hello, I have a question, mach3 lathe, will go to tool No 0 on M6, is there a way to fix that, i have it on autoamatic tool change, if I run that program on the mill it will change on the tool number tab, but in the lathe tab it wont,

did you ever had to do any work with the Z gibs?

Sir, I have another doubt..! Can We find or calculate the total travel distance of G-codes in mm/inch ?, I mean The total cumulative distance all 3 axis combined to finish a particular G-code...! I was thinking about how to charge for machining cost on a cnc router, based on axis intensity and distance...! simple 2.5D carving/grooving jobs and highly detailed relief carving jobs using all three axis are different very much , right? So combining all distances on all axis will give us the cumulative figure of distance 1.00hr running X and Y only for 2.5D Carving is different from 1.00hr running X and Y and Z for a relief carving So We have to consider all axis included in operation.! Is there any method for this type of calculation..! Is it complicated? or nonsense?!

You haven't posted in a long time. Hope all is well.

Merci infiniment pour cette initiation.

Hi Sam! ive been thinking about making the same sort of system for my mill, i dont think i understand the 2:1 ratio. So let's say for example my head up and down movement is 15 inches i would need, to be safe a spring that's like 8 or 9 inches of extension right?

This stuff is very hard to digest , I have not even been able to understand the concept, can you do a beginning level video explaining how tool change macro works, using two tools example, I have tried to study, but not at all getting the basics, please do explain, how the m code for tool change is handled by the controller and mach 3. And how and when the relay is turned on to release the tool from chuck and moving to New location and accepting New tool and all', can you explain in simple way, Mainly how to think, in a perspective of a 3 axis cnc router guy

Only because of the music

This machine will kill you and make you hurt the whole time it kills you

I'm back and forth a lot with my rotary table and the vice. Other than that, it's pretty much a wash.

Masso has a problem whit indexers ABC

Sir please mach 3 tapping cycle tutorial ?

Hey, can you please explain tool change on flatbed linear cnc ?

Great video. I'm trying to save this video but there is no "save" button. Do you know why?

What is the name of your old machine?

To much Money for that Little shit. U can do Better by urself

Thanks. Learning new skills on a budget.

Have you calculated the max shot you can do with this?

Why not fill in the Dovetail area with steel bar stock machines to fit in the bevelled area and bolt them in place in a few places then machine those to fit the Linear rails to them.

Can I have the download link for the software you are using?

Can I run a lathe threading tool for a thread mill operation in milling.

Cuanto cuesta esta actualizacion para esta maquina?

I have a problem with my extruder not extruding. Tried cleaning it from both ends and this was after having replaced those tubings as mine broke. Thankful you have this video up.

I have tried messaging Monport several times with zero response. If I understood correctly, standard m55 lenses will work on this machine with the adapter? Both in terms of focus, power, as well as 'it screws on'. I see no m39 lenses sold as accessories but also absolutely no mention on the site whatsoever that these GP machines can swap lenses. I just don't want to get stuck in too small of a work area as well as be detailed when I need it.

oh man id love to buy a kit from you iof you still sell them I keep having a problem where that part you replaced pushes out from the extruder and its very annoying

If not for his voice, I'd think this was DSP reviewing drill presses (in the entirely mythical reality where he'd event remotely know how to use a power tool lol). The camera rocking is even present (though nowhere as extreme).

Kudos on the modification. You got a potato to record video and audio!

Most coolant in machine shops should be between 5 and 7 if your cutting aluminum higher is better. But. 6 is offel low in my opinion.

Fantastic video. One question, you sanded down the top of the spindle to allow the top bearing to slide over the spindle with less effort. I am replacing the bearings on my PM833 which has an almost identical design. What is confusing me is that the top bearing fits very tightly on the spindle. How loose did you make it. Does it still have some friction when you slide on the top bearing?

This seems wort the price. How does it work with a part finder probe? Ill pribably ne buting this in the mext couole of weeks. Im usung tbe PA screen set, but i want more outa it.

Whats the frequency range?

I’m very interested in your kit for the seig x2 if it will fit my wen

I just emailed you about the wen 33013

are you done with this project? i've used your videos as inspiration for my own machine

SAM - You ROCK!

very helpfull👍👍👍👍

Hi just saw your great video. I just finished my cnc build using NEMA 34 motors and currently trying to set acceleration and velocity. Can you share which pulse/rev in your motor driver are you using. Thanks

Hi, I use DT860T driver with a NEMA 34 motors and use 2505 ball screws. Can you share which DIP switches you have turned on. Thanks

Sir You are amazing..!! You are the one who inspired me the most. I even have a confidence to build CNC Router with DSP Controler and mach3. I dont know how it turns out..!
