I can feel absolutely you will experience success & eventually spend your life wild across the gorgeous seas🎈
Nice Progress, ive waited for this :)
Thanks! 👊🏼
It’s coming on brilliantly.👍
Thanks! I really hope so!
Thanks! It's not always that you can see, what we have to look out for, in a build. This helps others in their plans. Buying parts "where, there are parts, that ( when you order ) they do not always give you; what ( what you pay for) so: the correct sizes?? Have to be checked, to complete the work, like an Assembly line? No. It is, "always, a problem", Good Job.
Hi thanks!
Yes, the process of doing this isn't exactly like "plan, order and assembly". There's variations in sizes of things like rails, carriages, ballscrew mounts, motor heights etc.
I did the main plans with the info I could find online and then I ordered all the stuff. After that there was some adjusting the plans with correct measurements from those physical parts I already had.
But I have to say, altogether it went quite smoothly actually!
Really the only thing I'm gonna have to adjust still is the orientation of the spindle. It's not completely straight in z-direction. I think it's of the non-machined spindle mount. I may replace that some day.
That's going to be on hell of a Nice! CNC machine. So far looks like you've done a great job thus far. She appears to move with ease and precision that's what you want when it comes to a good CNC Table. cool..
Thanks 👍
Would you consider doing cuts for customers, once you're all set up and your own cutting throughput slows down?
Actually my plan is to provide some kind of service of design and cut for all kinds of stuff like furniture or other pieces to get additional funds for the project! :)
No sure how efficient it is to send physical parts on other countries though. But at leas locally it should work. Some time ago I tried to have some plywood boat parts made here locally. But all the firms (there's lot of furniture industry in Lahti area) were like "this is too small job" or something. So I believe there should be room for small business for this. :)
Use M6 shoulder bolts with 8mm shoulder for those oversized holes in the Z axis.
I tried to find such bolts with no luck… 😞
Good 👍
Looking good , I can see a lot of similarities to what I’ve built , though my plates are all moisture resistant MDF though I’m mainly machining acrylic PVC and mdf , and a lot smaller ~800mm x 600mm working area . I’ve avoided countersunk screws as they don’t give you any adjustment , I’ve either counterbored for cap head screws , or used button head screws and counterbored for those where I haven’t got much thinness of material . Keep up the good work , I’m looking forward to see it running , and cutting its first panel 😃
Thanks! Yeah, there's countersinks only in places I thought it was necessary. Overall the precision and quality is excellent and there's really no problems so far with accuracy.
I'm looking forward too to see it cut it's first panel! But what should it be I wonder...? Any suggestions? :D
@@ArcticSeaCamel well you’ll want to try some test cuts to get you’re feeds and speeds and depth of cut set up first. What sized cutter are you hoping to use ? I find the smaller the cutter the less pressure it puts on the work piece and the less amount of shavings/dust it makes , but equally the smaller the depth of cut . In my case I prefer to use a 2mm over a 3mm in upto 8mm thick pvc/mdf taking a 2mm cut per pass . At your scale I suspect 6mm to 8mm cutter would be more suitable .
@@DaveHines1 Thanks for these. Because I have no idea what size bit to use yet. I have never used machine like this. And hand router only few times. :D
But yeah, this is something I need to learn and test. The spindle should have plenty of power to use even bigger bits. Of course when doing some big parts, I would hope to get decent cut speeds.
@@ArcticSeaCamel for my hand routers , I have solid carbide cutters in 1/2” 8mm 6mm and 3mm , I’ve used the 6 & 3mm in my CNC , using the 8mm and 1/2” in the hand router is quite noisy , when cutting a slot , it’s important to feed at the correct feed rate , too slow and it starts to burn , too fast can give a lot of vibration and break cutters .
How do you intend on holding your work pieces ? I normally use 2mm and 3mm caphead screws and 1.5 2 and 3mm dowels to locate , often I can put extra holes in the work piece to fix the workpiece to the spoilboard , you may not be able to do this.
There’s options for holding the pieces. I think I’ll start by just screwing them down but I think I will soon make nut holding holes for the sacrificial board. Or something. Maybe some day I’ll make even vacuum table, but we’ll see.
And yes, I’ve understood from other videos and sources that the correct cutting speed is essential to make good result and not to destroy the blades. :)
Отличный проект. Какой диаметр приводного шарикового винта оси и его шаг?
Sorry, I don’t understand… 🙁
English?
Z-axis is very wide. You wouldn't be able to make wide cuts. If you make it narrower you would gain few more inches.
Yes that’s true. I wanted to have as much distance between the carriages as possible. The cut width is 1500mm which is the biggest plywood sheet available here. So it should be enough! 🙂 If not, I can always make smaller plate for the Z! 😅
Hello, are the plates rails and rollers for xyz axis open sourced or did you design and fabricate ? I like them :)
Hi! They’re my own design and seem to work well! I may release them at some point ☺️
@@ArcticSeaCamel i will pay 😉
Very good nob done friend specially the gantry setting. The aluminium section you selected is very good it will minimise the vibration. Please share the price of this sectiion and the source where you purchased . I am also looking for this type of section you solve my proble. Thanks , your friend from Delhi INDIA
Hi! Thanks!
I ordered the profile from company called Rollco. I believe it's mostly located in nordic countries. The price for the beam was 400€ including shipping and 100 pieces of those connector doohickies. (and without VAT, so retail price is something like 490€)
I will do wrap out video of the whole machine and prices later. Remember so subscribe ;)
@@ArcticSeaCamel Thanks can you share the website of the Rollco company I am not getting it
@@gulshankapoor8924 www.rollco.eu
Any chance you will be sharing the cad file for it I looking at building one similar just a bit longer in length thats all
Yes I think I can do that 😊
That would be great if you could 😊
Me too :)
This is a very cool project, can I ask for the 3D file, sir, I'm a carpenter from Indonesia, I want to try making CNC, considering that buying it is very expensive. Thank you.
Hi. There's not actually usable 3d-file of the machine. You can check some material from the links to google drive here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WaCk2NFdksnElm7Ja-6BvoeoIMH5i9CD?usp=sharing
If you want to do machine like this, there's really three things:
-The hardware and electronics you buy from somewhere
-The frame of the machine you build
-The additional parts
I made the frame from steel and that was very expensive to machine in good accuracy. If I'd do it again, I'd make it from aluminum extrusions.
To the other parts of the machine - There's really no shortcut there. You need to make then sturdy enough and accurate to make it work. And you need to machine then somewhere to fit everything together well.
My machine is not perfect but usable for my needs.
@@ArcticSeaCamel okay, thanyou 😁
where did you get the aluminum profile man ? from china or from where ?
I ordered it via Finnish (or Nordic) company. The profile itself came from Denmark or Sweden…
@@ArcticSeaCamel aha thanks .. well can it handle to cut aluminum and 5mm steel plates ?
2- if i make the down steel part with the big aluminum profile like (10cm by 20cm can it be still strong as the steel profiles ?
Hi. My original plan was to make the table out of aluminium profiles (like avid-CNC-machines) but I went to steel because I had opportunity to machine the parts.
If i would do it again, I probably would do the table from aluminium instead. They are costly, but don't need any machining afterwards. (except for the cutting and making mounting holes and stuff).
This main beam profile was biggest I could find, it's 200mmx80mm and 2000mm long and price was 400€ without VAT. So if doing with profiles, the table will cost several thousands. But so did the steel table with all the work.
Would be very interested, but can’t stand continual drums
I try to make something bit more variable... 🤓
Do you have gantry plates dxf files.
I propably do. Not just sure where... :P
@@ArcticSeaCamel If you get it please share in descriptions. Thankyou and appreciated
@@BinoyJacob992009 You can find something here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WaCk2NFdksnElm7Ja-6BvoeoIMH5i9CD
Just remember that these are made just specifically for this machine! Most of the instructions and comments are in Finnish 🙂
Hello, witch software is please ?
The software I will use initially is one that came with cnc controller. www.cncdrive.com
I will try that first before considering something else.
Why u have the spindel so low? thats not good :/
Hi!
There's working clearance of 20-25cm which is plenty for me! :) The longest bit i've found so far is like 80-90mm...
@@ArcticSeaCamel nuy u loosing around 150mm that way, spindel needs to be align with the rail :)
The clearance comes from the height of the gantry. Spindle can be raised higher than that... Or I don't know what you mean...? 😅
