- In this video I embark upon the journey of building a CNC router machine. My goal is to use the machine to design and build kiteboards, surboards, and other similar products.
Parts List:
Motion Controller: www.poscope.com/product/pokey...
Stepper Motor Drivers (1 for each motor): www.geckodrive.com/g201x-digi...
24V Power Supply for the Motion Controller: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07C...
48V Power Supply for the Motors: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00G...
And I'm using Mach4 software to run the machine.
I started by buying and assembling the electronic components of the CNC machine. This is supposed to be the most daunting task in the process of building a CNC machine. It took me 2 weeks of tinkering around with the electronics to get the motors spinning and all the emergency stop equipment working correctly. - Věda a technologie
Dude, all i wanted was to know a brief overview of the electronic parts and how they go together. I searched and searched only to find endless tedious descriptions of what they all do. Finally, i found your explanation. Within 3 minutes i got exactly what I was looking with the briefest breakdown. Thanks! Awesome!
This guy say I really don't know how to build cnc .but he is the best person for guide like that nice dude .I really appreciate and subscribe you chanel.
ambitious! Can't wait for the next one!
Keeping the world under lockdown entertained
And I didn't even electrocute myself!... yet.
Hi great video, what was the total cost n where fdid you buy the electronics,
Do you have a list of the electronics you used I’m currently building my own and was looking for ideas based on what you used
Hey Tom sorry for the delay,
Motion Controller: www.poscope.com/product/pokeys57cnc/
Stepper Motor Drivers (1 for each motor): www.geckodrive.com/g201x-digital-step-drive.html
24V Power Supply for the Motion Controller: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07CPTHG7N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
48V Power Supply for the Motors: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00G8UDEQ8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And I'm using Mach4 software to run the machine.
Really nice Job Reece! Can you share what electronic cabinet you purchased for this build. Thank You!
Hey Greg, I can't remember the exact model of the case, but it's just one of the cheapest Corsair PC cases I could find. I found the PC cases were much cheaper than an electronics box. You just have to remove all the mounts and extra pieces inside the case to make room for the cnc components.
@@reeces_shredlab Thank You Reece! Big help. Please keep up the videos! Incredibly helpful for newbies! 😄
Hello friend, thanks for your project that has inspired me to make a cnc router. What spindle power did you use in this project? Thanks!
Hey Daniel,
I use a 2.2KW / 24000 RPM spindle that I ordered off amazon.
great work pal,. i guess is you had to program the motherboard (controller ) or something like that in order to use mach4
The controller I bought was designed to be used with Mach4. I just had to plug the wires into the correct places pretty much. There was also a plugin for the controller that I had to install into Mach4 as well. No real programming, just selecting which motor goes where, how fast I want it to move, etc. The instructions for the controller were quite easy to follow.
Do you keep a fire extinguisher near by?
Not while assembling the electronics, but yes, I have one strapped to the wall right in the shipping container where the machine now resides.
How do you wire 12v led power switches to power the power supplies?
The 24V power supply uses a large 110/220V on/off switch like you find on most shop machines, it just draws power from the wall. The 48V power supply is also connected to the wall power, but in order to turn it on, I have 2 contactors which need to be engaged. The contactors are powered by the 24V power supply, via the LED buttons (24V, not 12). When the button is pressed, it engages the contactor and connects 110/220V to the 48V power supply. The LED switches are only under a 24V load.
This guy has some good videos explaining it. Very similar to what I have going on. czcams.com/video/zGqc5HcvdEw/video.html
Hello i hope you are doing well .
Would you please send me a list of these electronics .

And I'm using Mach4 software to run the machine.
Can you please provide wiring diagram
Hey Asif, it really depends on the electronics you choose as they are all wired and programmed slightly different. However most of the components seem to come with decent instructions on where to connect the wires.
I found there was not very much clear info out there on CNC electronics. Probably because each setup is different. So I made this video to try and help people figure out what components you actually need, and what connects to what. Once you understand the jist of it, the finer details can be found in the instructions of each component.
why you need 2 power supplies ?
The motors require a different voltage than the other electronics. The higher voltage power supply is for the motors, the lower voltage power supply is for the other electronics.
@@reeces_shredlab what are the other electronics ?
