Several years ago I built a CNC machine. It's been having some flood coolant system issues so I decided to cut out the heart of the coolant system and build it stronger. In this video I show how I did that.
These videos usually take a ton of work and a lot of money in tools and materials. I've made a patreon if you're interested in supporting the creation of these projects: / stuffmadehere

"My initial reaction was to just move the plug to a non-GFCI outlet". A man of my own heart. Great stuff, looking forward to more!
What does GFCI mean?
@@bananasstuff3344 ground fault circuit interrupter; a type of curcuit breaker that goes off if not all electricity/current goes through it's own ground. Mainly to save people from electrical shock (if current starts to flow through them to a different ground than outlets; so it wouldn't save you from sticking fingers into an outlet), typically present whenever there is liquids involved (i.e. bathroom).
@@bananasstuff3344 In addition to Niter's helpful comment, I recommend this video by Technology Connections which explains it in detail with practical demonstrations: czcams.com/video/ILBjnZq0n8s/video.html
@@niter43 In a normal 120 VAC circuit, the hot and neutral wires both carry an equal amount of current. A GFCI trips when it senses an imbalance of current between the hot and neutral wire. A GFCI doesn't need a ground at all to operate.
Love his humor!!!!
Gotta love how he just glosses over the fact that he made his own CNC machine. It's no big deal....
Lol. Yea. Spends a whole 20 seconds mentioning how he built the thing in his apartment before he got a big shop
A COMPACT one if that! Seriously this guy is amazing has crazy great ideas that he puts to the test! Also makes them work!
And then later glosses over the fact that he also built his own plasma cutter
The look that Destin (SmarterEveryDay) gave him when he casually mentioned that was really cool.
of course he did... how would he make stuff there if he didnt?
I'd add another "loose" filter (with a handle or something) on top of the fixed one to get a majority of the chips out by just lifting the filter.
Or just use a shop vac :)
@@Zalagar619 Which you then have to dump. Why lift the chips twice, AND the weight of the vacuum once (or twice if you count hauling it to the mess) when you dump it out?
@@mal2ksc Im pretty sure he doesn't empty the vacuum every time. Just suck it up and forget about it. Then many times later, yeah you will need to dump it once. But then boom good for another month.
@@mal2ksc having shopvac on nearby anyways is good idea since you never know when you need to clean the machine and do maintenance. I would almost be tempted to get dedicated shopvac just for cnc specially if machining only one metal like aluminum, so chips can be then later melted and cast to make new blocks to machine.
@@Zalagar619 w smith ar phone 📱 to
As a professional welder of 10 years specializing in sheet metal and TIG, I can honestly say this is acceptable work. You managed the heat well, added rod when and where you needed to, and you ended up with a professional looking product. Well done, and dont let hot rod showoffs with their ridiculous setups discourage you.
Discourage him? lol Look at his setup from his recent video. If someone gets discouraged its probably them. This guy is insane (In a very good way)
@@ronenviz10 got real "mad scientist but nice" vibes
"This video is getting a little long" - Don't you dare talk like that - make your videos as long as possible haha! They're intensely fascinating. Mind blowing.
I loved the video so much #smarter every day
Yep thats ryt
Cause i have activated the 4G video blaster package (Srilankan dialog users know it)😁😁😁😁
It didn't even feel like a 20 minute video seriously
tell me about it I've watched it like 3 times since it came out
Then the videos will be 10 hours long
As an engineer who specializes in press brakes, I find your pen plotter to be an interesting short cut.
Now to convince my company that it's a good idea haha.
It really is a good idea, though. And not stupidly expensive to do. He has a video showing exactly how he made it.
@@AndrewFrink if you're after accuracy, then there are formula to use that can get you within 0.2 mm without scrap. That said, for a quick one off, I'd use this all day, since my coworkers tend to take an already cut part and mark it with a sharpie for me to bend anyway.
@@oddsketch9969 I was just looking for a finer line than the sharpie.
@@AndrewFrink honestly, if your plasma cutting, what's the point? I could see it with a laser, but a plasma isnt spectacular at holding trim on the kind of thickness we use it for anyway, so a sharpie is just fine. We laser cut anything 10mm or thinner, especially if it's for a customer with GD&T requirements.
@@oddsketch9969 Hey, where do you work?
I know this guy is like in his 20’s, but i cant help thinking how he’s gonna be the BEST grandpa of all time. Just imagine all the cool shit he’s gonna make and do for his grandkids when they spend the weekend at his place.
Imagine being his grandkids, like "Grandpa, science fairs coming up. Mom said to come to you"
*two weeks later the kid brings in a working rocket*
@@bloodstreak_og4012 XD that’s amazing
That's how a Rick starts.
@@bloodstreak_og4012I know I’m late to this but you can make a pretty good rocket with stump remover (oxidizer) and sugar (fuel) and a body
I love how he approaches massive problems.
"I was worried about holding on to the coolant tank so I didn't spill any coolant. But I already dropped the tank, so that's just one less thing to worry about."
Incredible.
"A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't. " -AvE
I always thought it's just welder folklore and AvE is a giant repository of those sayings
@@anthropomorphousdodecahedr6504 there's just too many of them, I'm sure at least some of them have to be created in the moment. Either that, or he's spending every evening learning them by heart, and god knows where he finds a book of that.
@@SleeveBlade he sure has his own lingo, right, and I think most of the crazy ones is his own creation. I just heard this particular one quite a few times in other places

And this kills covid 19?
Why havent i found this channel earlier, can't wait to see more. +1 sub!
yes, this channel really high quality.
i love it
William Arvidsson I thought the same thing and then I realized it’s a brand new channel!
@@Mrcaffinebean 120k subs in about two months, that's insane considering he was unknown before. Really like all of his videos
6 months after starting out he's already at 1.3 mil ... he probably hacked CZcams and gave himself a bunch of subscribers
@@franciscoroxas4075 he didnt hack CZcams, he built his own small CZcams to fit into the small apartment next to the desk.
Coming in a little late but as a welder of 11 years just the fact you welded thin guage steel with tig without blowing holes everywhere shows you have great hand control. Don't be afraid to show your welds, you're doing great.
The "This Old Tony" tribute vibe was not lost.
I thought the same, a few more jokes here and there and it would be perfekt.
I had to scroll way to far down to find this post!
You should do a basic "intro to machining" video just a little bit about how you got into it, how you make it work in an apartment with an estimated budget and some tips for viewers that want to start with this type of home projects. Love the vids!
Gotta love how he just glosses over the fact that he made his own CNC machine. It's no big deal....
@@ryandispecki6223 Why u gotta steal the top comment like that
This is a channel destined to be a great edition to AvE and this old Tony
He definitely took Tony's guide to filming & editing, and focusing on hands.
Couldn’t agree more!
*addition
Only I can play this and ToT around my kids with out ending up talking to the principal about the unsual "Terms" they have been teaching to the kids at school. Having a preschooler tell their teacher "bye, bye, keep your d#!k vice" was awkward. My laughing didnt help matters.
as someone who spent two years maintaining cnc mills, this video speaks to me on a deep level
i love the pen plotter, we use something simmilar on our 4k fiber laser for certain parts by etching some bend lines. one thing that has worked well for us is to use a solid line to denote a bend in one direction and a dashed line to denote a bend the other direction, helps reduce mistakes!
Well, you still have a 50% chance of getting it right without the dashed line system.
@@Axodus not if you follow the rules by which you program the lines or dashes... solid is up, dashed is down. 100% accurate
@@danielallen2000 I was making a joke :P
That's origami 'notation', cool to see it gets used for sheet metal! Mountain folds and valley folds... Wonder which application came first or if they're independent inventions.
@@SMTRodent I would guess that origami used it first, but they could still be independent inventions. It's really not that hard to come up with.
I like engineers making fun of "Business logic."
What is business logic?
@@mathew66 You lose money to gain money.
Well business logic is inherently illogical when viewed outside of its subject matter. Because its subject matter is dealing with people. And when fat rats aren’t bogarting decision making, it’s usually pretty damn effective at dealing with people.
13:44
@@mathew66 lose something but gain flexibility
Thats the jist of it i think
The whole "Business Logic" line was great, and then made better by the little bit of coolant still left over.
This is so unbelievably over-engineered and significantly more complicated than it needed to be...
I love it.
SovietandScotsman Was it really? CNC machines are inherently complicated, this man built a homemade one :P
@@No-pm4ss Could've just done 2 pairs of triangles and connected everything together with a circle so the pump was at the lowest point, and then put a domed mesh over it so it would stop the chips from getting in while allowing the coolant to go up and over any clogs that may happen. Wouldn't have taken much work, but I assume there was some reason why it was done like this, but I'm not sure why...
@@Guffy1990 He was worried about leakage, im afraid the man has no welding skill and two triangles welded together at their sides is significantly more prone to leakage as the weld breaks down to wear and tear than a sheet of metal just bent. That and he wanted to move his motor out of the way of the coolant not have the coolant just flow over it
It doesn't matter how well, you weld, there will always be some "professional" welder, who could've done a better job blind folded. What ever works, works
2:04 scare the living crap out of me
Me too hahaha
same
Nice choice of the Wilhelm scream
I need new underwear after that 😂
My heart skipped lol
Please do more detailed videos on your sheet metal processes! Spot welding, the marker trick, and your press brake setups!!!
I've been trying to minimize that stuff because I thought it was the boring part. You're not the first to ask for more details there so I'll go deeper in future videos. Glad you like it!
@@StuffMadeHere Boring is watching a CNC work... engineering reasoning, sheet metal in the home shop, 3DP tooling... all super interesting. Take a look at clough42 for a channel that goes pretty deep in explanations but remains really interesting.
Also thanks for getting back to me and good luck.
I agree, I also watch these videos to see the finer thought processes going in!
@@StuffMadeHere I think it's only boring to you because you're already very good at it; a professional makes a difficult job look easy, an amateur makes an easy job look difficult. People want to empathise with content and imagine themselves doing [what you're doing]. Not everyone may have a burning desire to make an awesome robotic basketball hoop for example, but may want to make a sandblasting cabinet, an oil pan, etc and showing the processes behind the amazing projects becomes a vehicle for our more mundane efforts.
Anybody else jump when he made the electrical shock noise? Great video!
I just love his calm, cool, humble dry humor. His soothing voice helps too.
That looks a lot like a oil pan for a car. A few adjustments and you can start making custom oil pans for cars. Love your channel. Just a observation from a car guy.
I thought the same thing
Question from a non car guy: Why do you end up needing custom oil pans? Is that a different name for a oil sump?
If you swap a different engine into a car you may need to change the oil pan to fit. Just one application
@@markfryer9880 As Koby said, could be a fitment issue. Could be the have a bigger oil capacity, better flow or just replacing an existing broken one.
@@markfryer9880 Or if you're having to replace one on a very rare engine where there aren't many parts available. He did an excellent job fabricating that pan, by the way
“This is definitely one of the best tub experiences I’ve had”.... have you tried scented candles and epsom salt?
I have nice shampoo.
Me: proud of showing off a wooden box with janky corners that I try to pass as a cabinet to my friends. What did you do?
Shane: I just made a CNC, no biggie...
Me: ohhh....
A shop tour video would be awesome.
He didn't make a "Computer Numerical Control", he built a metal box with legs to hold the mill that he bought.
He does plenty of impressive stuff, no need to attribute store bought stuff to him as well.
One is out now
Building a CNC router or even mill is surely a big project, but it's not a complicated or creative one. You get lots of busywork and research to do, but it's all been done before and described step by step numerous times.
@@gupiwa I was thinking about this, yeah, it looks impressive to anybody who either doesn't know what a CNC is or hasn't built many things in their life. A CNC really is just a mill that moves and sprays coolant
Anybody going to point out this man has posted 8 videos and wrecked a 1.5 MILLION sub count? Bro! You're videos are nuts! More please.
One thing you could also do to guard against really fine chips is perhaps to install a dam into your coolant tank, with the drain falling into one side of the coolant tank, the dam (vertical divider) stopping the fine chips from flowing towards the pump, and the coolant overflowing the top of the dam into the pump side. Hopefully never needed!
Chips still fly everywhere tho
after it falls down into the box have a vertical wall like so
-----------------------\
\ | so the coolant flows over here
\-----------| and metal collects here
@@Alaskaalien ASCII diagram skills on point there, nice one :D
“If it wants to flow sideways it has to go back up a vertical wall, which it can’t do”. Buddy it’s 2020. Prepare yourself.

Ever watched the plume of a rocket launch wrap up ahead of the engines as the atmosphere thins out? Like electricity, most of a fluid takes the easiest path, but some of it goes every way it possibly can (as dictated by pressure gradients).
Working in aero/thermal, it took me a minute to accept that with a rear-angled defroster jet hitting a highly raked windshield, some of the defrost air actually turns around and goes forward, down the windshield. But it do.
RNGesus rip
Not anymore.
I can't even drill a hole properly in my wall to put some shelves (and I'm not really willing to learn to do better, rather ask for help or pay someone to do work for me), but I love watching your videos. You are so calm, explain things pretty clearly and make them interesting. Great content!
Watching you explain each step through your process is so valuable.
Seeing you casually fix and upgrade stuff around your shop is so inspiring and really helps consolidate stuff.
Cant thank you enough!
Don't know if you know or if it matters, but at 17:28 you can see a motor shifting around a bit in the top left corner. That may mess with tolerances or just wear something out prematurely. Like, so he can see.
When you do the rivnuts up, start with the drawbar wound out more so that the arms are more closed. You'll have a much easier time.
It's crazy how many tools you work with. Your projects are all over the place. Really entertaining.
I think what's most amazing about this channel is how he doesn't shy away from showing how even someone at his god-tier level makes mistake after mistake, to the point at which it's surprising when things work correctly. In reality, this is how even the best of the best traverse a project, and I wish more channels would show that part of the process more. It can be extremely discouraging to those trying to get into any of the 8 billion specialties he's somehow mastered when they feel like they are always messing up... when that's part of the game.
If you are creating something that has never been done before - or something that has been done before but in a different way - you ARE going to make mistakes, and probably a lot of them. And that is if you have just ONE specialty, much less applying a large number of them as many engineers/hobbyists do.
" cutting through 16 gauge steel is hard"
As an industrial welder I laugh at this statement ha
Edi wow
8:32 this is one of the best tub experiences you've ever had? Maybe try a bigger tub? And bring a friend :D
Loving the videos!
Now we know what we were doing while his was learning all this stuff. No regrets!
When you took out the last bolt and the tub dropped all over, I was reminded of a time where I removed bolts without thinking about it and faced the consequences. I was fixing the garage door, which had a snapped cable on one side and was slanted at about a 5 degree angle, jamming it. I proceeded to take the nuts out of the plate holding the cable to the side still attached to the spring. When that last bolt came out, the plate flew up right into my face. It hit the right lens of my glasses, throwing it into the bridge of my nose, leaving a small bruise on the bridge of my noise. It then slid over my brow leaving a gash that cost me three or four stiches. If I weren't wearing glasses, I most likely would have lost an eye. I leave the garage door repairs to the pros now.
You should do a video explaining your favorite tools and how to build some of them.
"I'd rather be undersized than oversized" first time a man has ever said this.
hey, I personally would like to be able to comfortably fit, as apposed to being uncomfortably fit / not fit at all.
Nah, too oversized just hurts
@Peter Evans average implies there are higher and lower values, so statistically there is more than a "no way" for me to know that
@Peter Evans Suppose that's why we need the median instead of the mean, but you certainly seem to know about below average as well
@Peter Evans I may kindly suggest some rereading of my first response, as average is the first reply, as is your reply to my own.
But I suppose maybe English would "are have" to be lost on those who speak likewise
-Lol, all fun-
Watching an iterative process might be my favorite thing to watch on CZcams.
I would watch any length of video made by you. Your work is fascinating and I rarely enjoy youtube as much as I do when im in the middle of one of your projects. Take your time, enjoy your craft, your audience is here and ready for whatever you have time to create!
I’ve seen this video 3 times and this is my forth. I love how perfected this machine design is for all circumstances. A lot of people would beg to be able to get one of these
"They aren't the prettiest welds... but they're there.". My thoughts exactly.
I really love your project tenacity, Shane. You always include these setbacks in your videos, and I appreciate that. I took some programming back in the early '70s; I never made that my career field and always wondered why. Anyway, I digress. Thanks for always including the mistakes that are made in your videos. It gives us a better idea of the processes that you go through to create your project. You always give a glimpse into your systematic brain. I sure wish I was better at math and science.
Thanks for sharing. Felix
Wish you had more videos, just so satisfying to watch for someone who took drafting at a trade school! Really brings back some good memories!
Great job! I love how you take time to improve your tools and figure out all the little details! it's what makes things worth talking about.
Plasma cutting + bending + spotwelding makes your work look Pro as Frig! Pretty nice!

Watching this one again for entertainment! I must congratulate you for the leaps and bound you have made in video quality in just 10 months after this video was uploaded!
This is my 1st video of yours. Love how you get to the point without telling us about the weather or how your cat is doing! You also explain well for those of us who do not have your incredible sill level. I am now a new subscriber!
This is my 10th video in 2 days, its pure engineering porn. Thank you for all you do, you remind me why I became an engineer in the first place. If I don't go back to engineering one day, this is something to aspire to.
I really like that you point out where things went wrong before being successful, it's educational and makes me feel better about myself (other people make mistakes too :-) )
I spent a summer at college operating a machine that made Rivnuts. I was super excited to see someone actually use some.
Never been jealous of a man for his brain and the way of works, god damn man it’s like watching a version of myself on 4 lvls higher I do this shit but with desks and doors and shit around my house crazy how smart you are
Very nice video, thanks for sharing! You did an excellent job explaining and showing everything. I also appreciated your perspectives on spot welding. I've looked at spot welders (at Harbor Fright, of course), but never really thought about what they can do. You've illustrated their utility in sheet metal construction in a way that I won't soon (ever?) forget! Very impressed with you skills and analytical thinking too.
Haha. A “protective fez”.
“I wear a fez. Fezzes are cool now.”
-The doctor.
@The Talent
And the last time there WAS a cool doctor, he wore a fez, IMHO.
George Dennison - agreed. I haven’t been able to stay interested in it since.
The Talent
Same here. Tried to hang with the old f&@k, but couldn't, (I'm an old f&@k, myself, so I'm not being agist, just descriptive. LOL), Then watched a portion of one show.
The doctor has to be a bit crazy, and neither of them have that 'spark', the character needs.
For me to not watch/read Sci Fi, it has to really bite, caused I do like me some SciFi. Have for a long, long time.
Loved the "This Old Tony" pastiche.
The improvement to the cooling system was pretty neat, too.
The Man who never makes a mistake [like dropping something stupidly] never does anything.
You only ever hear about the Success stories like Tesla, however they all made the required percentage of mistakes we all do, but this guy makes me FEEL So Much Better -
I really enjoy both your new and old content. I would love see some more stuff like this in the future
Great quality content, can't wait for more !
Rivnuts truly are a great invention. I can't count how many times I've used them in projects.
Great video as always!
I cant afford a commercial CNC but would happily buy something like this is you ever sold them.
I'd love to see a video on your first CNC, the one from your apartment
I'd like to know more about it as well
Me too. It looks really interesting.
Looks like it's the same but without the enclosure which is why he built the enclosure
I agree, something like this, would be perfect. Was it a complete order or did you work out a parts list.
This was a video about that CNC.....
Man you’re something special, so crazy smart! You’re videos are always so amazing to watch and it inspires me to keep building stuff to one day be even half as smart as you man! Keep it up!!
I love the business logic win. I’ll certainly be trying to adopt that mindset somewhat for those future potential “wins”. Thanks man. Always find myself gravitating towards a few specific channels these days to gain inspiration to get out in my own fledgling maker space.
Your channel makes me remember all the manufacturing processes and techniques I have long forgotten.
Amazing content dude, you are my new This Old Tony... you are This Young Tony!
What would be cool is having an auxiliary hose, or a quick disconnect on the sprayer, to allow you to periodically rinse and flush chips from the enclosure and components of the machine.
The shadenfreude on that coolant spill is something else. Your videos are great, I wish I was as cool as you and my weekend is awesome cause I've only just started watching your videos so theres more for me to enjoy. Thumbs up dude.
I am in love with your videos, watching them all, and I’m sad I’m almost done! I Can’t wait to see more. every video so creative and smart, amazing
Coolant: *Spills*
SMH: “I see this as an absolute win!”
I'd add another "loose" filter (with a handle or something) on top of the fixed one to get a majority of the chips out by just lifting the filter.
@@serairesana6600 this is stolen from @Balu
Loving the obvious sarcasm 😂😂 "The changes are very subtle but noticeable if you look".
That machine, is a work of art. We need more people like you.
I can’t get enough of your videos, thank you! Please keep posting!
I like the meta layering: "I'm using my ridiculous home machine shop to build a better ridiculous home machine shop". I'm not jealous, I swear.
Wierd how the CZcams algorithm haven't recommended me this channel earlier. You just got a new subscriber, congratulations! Keep it up !
Cool upgrade.
You can add a coarse stiff mesh over the fine mesh to protect it from mechanical damage. A gap of 15-20 mm would be sufficient between the two.
It can be held in place with magnets to make it easier to access for cleaning and revision.
i could watch you work for hours and i honestly can say i have. your channel is amazing, i love the content, keep it coming.
"the fit is nice and tight"
The piece of metal: "Thanks G"
Hey, thanks for the tip with the digital angle gauge. I have a nice old folder but with no gauge so I either fiddle with templates or employ guessology (which I'm not very good at). Great work: very inspiring! Anyway, gauge ordered, so thanks again.
Jackstands are incredibly useful for holding up tanks that you're trying to separate from structures that are too large for you to reach around.
Love the spot welder! That's a cool and very handy thing to have.
When tig welding, remember to get comfy and bring the tungsten to you.
12:30 “I have a whole tank of coolant I really didn’t want to spill”

Your channel is insane, man. You set the bar so high for other content creators.
Love your optimism and dry humor
Thats a nice little setup, great videos mate, really enjoying your content!
Thanks for the feedback. I do so many projects and no one sees them so its fun to share!
Great content, keep it up! Btw, how about a drain spout on that tank? It'll make future spills smaller.
You are the most understated yet monumental genius ever to walk this earth!!! I can’t wait to see what else you make. And I love how you describe building a **custom-made** drain tub for your **custom-made** CNC machine with the same nonchalance I would bring to bear if I made a video on how to tie shoelaces
How do you do that?!?!?!? 🤪
I'm in the process of building my own mill after watching your videos, thanks for the inspiration!

Look at this new coolant sprayer design...
It's really cool.
The POV is a great way to follow your work. Inspiring creativity! Cheers!
Moral of everything on this channel: do it right the first time and you won't have to redo work.
a quick release system for the filter would be handy for clearing chips
lunchbox latches come to mind
I've never spent so much time learning so much about stuff that's never interested me before.
