What an absolute killer setup!
very cool looking forward to more videos
nice machine...ill be building a vac table for mine in the near future
Do hoy hace More pictures, ITS a great job
your shop is WAY to clean!
magnifique CNC bravo un rêve
HI. Really awesome build. Just finshed my cnc. Have a Look on my machine during engraving.
Damn that's amazing 😯👍🔥 best from your upper neighbor 🇩🇰
Ausgeseichnet arbeit!
Nice guitar rifs
Wow awesome! I'm interested in CNCN, why do you need clamps AND a suction table? Isn't the suction meant to hold the pieces in place on their own?
The clamps are out of place. They're typically used for positioning/locating not clamping. The entire build seems overkill.
Really nice work! I have just started to build my 2000x1500mm CNC. I’m interested in how you made the table. Can you adjust the height to make it in level? What dimensions are you used for the steel profiles?
Wow, love it!
I am looking for a t-slot or t-track piece like you have mounted on the end of the CNC. My CNC also extends over the end and that looks like a great way to mount things.

HOW MUCH HP VACUUM PUMP IS REQUIRED FOR THIS TABLE?
Hello,
This is a very impressive project. Could you give the shop where find motor and aluminum profile and parts for build it ?
Thanks.
Impressive!!
well done
nice job
Awesome job. What is the work area of your CNC?
Hallo Theiss, herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deinem CNC Projekt. Kannst du etwas mehr sagen zu den von dir verwendeten Komponenten wie Steuer-SW (LinuxCNC, Mach...), Endstufen, Ansteuerung Seriell oder Parallel? LG Martin
I used a Software CAD/CAM and Hardware Solution from Maxx Computer (MCS103) on both of my CNC Systems. This save me a lot of time.
Dear Theiss, what slot in your profile? 8 or 10mm? Profile 40*80mm or bigger?
Everyone seems to love MDF. Problem is, if you get an aluminum cutting job and you want to use cool mist
you will have a problem having the MDF swell up throwing the table out of whack. Prefer PVC sheet
Hi Theiss.
Do you have any whipping with those 1800x20 ball screws? I've read that critical speed for your ball screws is about 1000RPM. Did you try to get close to that? Is the speed you use comfortable to you?
I use a speed of 40mm per second (40mm/5mm=8RPsec=480RPM).
This is not super fast, but for my hobby it is OK. The limit is not my spindle. With 60mm per second the stepper lose sometimes steps.
Not sure what controller your using but the loss steps might be due to your using fractions in Steps Per Inch. Can not have partial steps. (Example you can have say 120 steps per inch, but you can not have 120.567 or errors will creep in)
That's a beautiful machine, but the spindle looks like the weak point. What is the wattage?
You are a CNC god! Did you use a specific design for this system or did you engineer everything on your own? I'm hoping that you will say that it is an open-source design and please share the CAD files with everyone!!!
Sorry, every thing was build by my own before the CZcams channel was in my mind. Documentation is simple and handmade and not online available. Please read the comments for some additional tips.
beautiful! question: the way you’ve designed your vacuum table with the ribs with holes; do you get good suction? i’m researching how to make a downdraft table for screen printing.
I use a 2KW Seitenkanalverdichter.
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seitenkanalverdichter
Im very happy with the table for big signs and wood from 30x30cm up.
Did you every post the green clamps
I'm building a cnc whwere did you get your axis my table is 3.5' by 4' or 1.0668m by 1.2192m and I'm looking for a company that sells it that length

Your vacuum pnuenm is to thick.... the thinner the the chamber your pump does have to suck out the unneed air...
Nice video! What did you use to drive your X and Y axis?
Seems like a reasonable diy build. LOL
I love your machine, It´s absolutely beautiful!! Great job!!
What´s the lenght of your machine? and the ball screw?
ball screw spindles: X 2x 1800x20mm, Y 1x 1200x20mm
Where did you get the clamps for your CNC table? Or did you make them? Beautiful system.

Hello. Nice job :) I have a Cnc my self (CNC Step HighZ-1000) but would like to build my self a bigger one. Thanks for the inspiration, do you have links and parts list for you cnc?
I will be making my own dust extraktor unit based on the one you have. Man I really liked this one and got a big aha. Been strugling with these "hairy" ones for a while. But 99% of the time I cnc flat even stock so this will work fantastic, if I can implement it though :)
Again, like your videos.
Best

Hi TR, thanks for your feedback, what type of G-Code software and cnc controller hardware do you use for your current and upcoming project.
Who makes the horizontal clamps?

Hallo Theiss,
Respekt für diesen tollen Eigenentwurf!
Deine Fräse hat genau die drei Dinge, welche mich an meiner stören bzw. bei meiner (noch) fehlen:
1.) Hohe Durchlaßhöhe Z-Achse
2.) Vakuumtisch
3.) Vertikales Spannen vor dem Frästisch
Ich werde sicherlich einige Anregungen für den Umbau meiner Fräse aus deinen Videos entnehmen ;-) Danke schon einmal dafür!
Kannst Du mir Details zu Deinem Vakuumtisch verraten? Ich vermute Du verwendest einen Seitenkanalverdichter, oder? Welche Leistungsdaten? Es wäre klasse, wenn Du einmal ein paar Details erzählst; gerne auch als Video ... deine Videos sind nämlich große klasse!!!
Vielen Dank noch einmal -- Jürgen
Jürgen, You are a very good observer!
The vacuum is created by a Side Channel Blower RT-4011 with 0.9KW.
Ich würde mich sehr gerne mit Dir austauschen. Kannst Du mir bitte eine private Message mit Deinen Kontaktdaten schicken. Ich melde mich dann umgehend.
Gehe zu meinem Kanal.Klicke hierzu unter einem Video auf den Kanalnamen.Klicke auf den Tab Kanalinfo.Klicke auf Nachricht senden.

Do you have a BOM for your setup?
Hello Mr. Theiss do you have any material list, i am from portugal and i want to now where do you buy the tower, best regards
Sorry, every thing was build by my own before the CZcams channel was in my mind. Documentation is simple and handmade and not online available. Please read the comments for some additional tips. The old PC tower was used as case for the power supply and electronics.
hi ,i have a question , can you help me please ?
i want to make a cnc router mill , like yours and i wanna know if for X and Y axis is okay a 8Nm stepper and for Z axis maybe a 4 Nm stepper ? will be enough ? lenght x 2200mm y 1700mm z 500mm
Hi, here my setup:
Motor: Nema 34-HS5435c-37B2 for X and Y
Belt: HTD-5 for the two X spindles
Gear Wheels for X spindles: 40-5M-0-Z
Ball Screw Spindle for X and Y : 20mm x 5mm/RPM

Super CNC Tisch. Gibt hierzu auch einen Bauplan?
Weiter so!!
Thanks, and sorry I have only some handmade notes of this project.
Wurde hier nicht der Bausatz von der EMS P3 Cobra verwendet?
Nein, meine ist komplett selbst entworfen, ist größer als die P3 und leider nicht ganz so perfekt verarbeitet ;-)
Respekt für diese fantastische Arbeit und danke für das Teilen und Inspiration!
How did you calculate the size for the vacuum blower? Has the .9kw model been adequate?
0.9kw is a good compromise, you are able to make a lot of through-cuts in the work piece, before you lose the vacuum effect.
To calculate the vacuum you need always the same work piece. For me the 0.9kw vacuum blower is the right compromise.
So what type of work do you do (so that I get some idea of the capability of .9kw)? Any special techniques to cope with possibly lower vacuum?
What I am trying to get an idea of is how large a blower is enough for a 4' x 8' table with 4 zones. Lots of people use blowers but seems like many just get a huge one(for huge money) but really are just guessing on the size.
Can you tell me what type of car I should buy next time?
Your question is even or more complex to my question.
The answer to your question depends on a lot more the the following questions:
- what type of material do you use
- what material do you place between the cnc and the work piece
- how much pressure do your cnc create to the workpiece during milling
- how many cut through elements do you use.
- are they all on the same place
- do you have time to create a mask between cnc and work piece
- should the whole workpiece connected with vacuum to the cnc
- provide a exact drawing of each of your work pieces you will create with your cnc
- is electricity costs a point for you
- and so on and so on
- there are several vacuum solutions available and not one fits for all
So, think about the questions, put it together with your questions and buy something :-)
0.9kw is a good compromise for me
This build frustrates me more than any other build I've found.
Belts on the x axis but square linear rail everywhere only to cut MDF letters? Why do you need the accuracy of the square linear rails? Plus, the router could have been easily replaced by a decent router spindle if you would have saved cost by purchasing round linear rails instead of square... I'm scratching my head on this one. I can't imagine you'd ever load the rails enough to justify the added cost/complexity of the square linear rails. For all intents and purposes of this machine, I would argue, round rail would have been plenty sufficient.
I don't mean to sound too critical but this seems like a lot of wasted money. With the router you get one 1/4" collet that's it. With this machine, I would have opted for a 2.2kw water cooled, vfd controlled spindle with ER20 collets. You'd get every size you could want up to 1/2". Why were the design decisions made they were on this machine? So confusing... Did you turn those brass belt tensioners?
I haven't even mentioned the use of the Nema 34 motors... WHY? Nema 23 would have been plenty... What are you trying to mill? Can't be anything too rigid... Your belts would fail before your motors. I would much rather snap an end mill before I strip my drive belt.
Regardless, the workmanship is impeccable. Very nice work.
Dear Theiss Hilma, have you planned to sell it?
NO 😀
Hallo Hilmar,
Toller CNC-Tisch. Wo hast du die teile dazu bezogen? Ich würde mir gerne auch so einen Tisch bauen.
