- In the world of CNC there are so many ways to earn an income. I wanted to make a video for folks who are interested in CNC and explore the earning potential that having a machine in a small shop.
There are so many variables and opportunities in the CNC world and there is no way to cover even a fraction of them in a 10 minute video. So, today I picked 5 popular uses for a CNC and talk about the earning potential of those five topics. And ask the question Can 220-volt CNC make a million dollars a year.

This man speaks the truth. The product development side can be pretty lucrative. But the biggest truth behind it all it’s just how much work and effort it takes. Izzy, you hit the nail on the head brother. Thanks for making this video and bringing a really positive light to digital fabrication
I've found that Izzy is right about more things than not over the years. He's right about this the more I think about it, as I stated in my comment. I never thought about the making money aspect of the CNC, I just seen it as a means to an ends to flattening large stock and doing some 2d carvings much faster. I just wish my shop wasn't so small.
where do you find folks looking for parts/products to be made?
I have had a CNC 1ft X 3ft for over 10 years. I got it because I went to school to be a machinist, And I wanted it to supplement my woodworking. I have been diagnosed with MS so I can't use hand tools because I shake too much. So now I am relying on the CNC and Laser machines to do my wood working. For my application the small machine is good for me. They are good and fun to use. The info you gave is very insightful. thank you for the info.
I built a cnc with a 3ft X 4ft cutting area and I could totally see a sign business in my future but just cutting a few signs for friends has taught me that you have to limit the choices of customers or they will ask for more and more and not wanting to pay for it LOL
I love learning about this kind of stuff. Looking at opening a shop and look for realistic information. Thanks for putting it out there.
More like this, please. So refreshing to hear someone talk facts who has the experience and knowledge to actually know what he's talking about. That kind of straight talk is golden. As a lifelong woodworker working as a luthier who is looking for ways to reduce the wear and tear to my hands by having a CNC do much of what I call the donkey work, having a resource like this is invaluable. Thanks a ton!
I really appreciate the straight forward, honest information. We don't often find someone posting videos like this that tell it like it is!....I would love to see more!!...Nice Work!!
Izzy I've been watching you grow your channel from that cheap table saw build. I've also watch April Wilkerson's growth from not knowing woodworking to what she does now. I want to get into the cnc world. I think that I have something that I could offer to the DIYers. I guess I need to start! Thanks Izzy for being straight up and forward like always. Don Christenson
Greatly appreciate the open, honest, and informative video. There’s too many CZcams channels that tout easy money or zero effort. Thanks again Izzy
Hey Katz-Moses shout out! Love you bud!
The beauty of the CNC in a small shop environment is that while the CNC is doing it’s task, I’m freed up to do other non-automatabeable functions. Great perspective, Izzy! Thank you!
Great point!
@@izzyswan can you recommend a financing group to work with Phantom to get into a well equipped machine?
I just want to thank you for being honest and not clickbaiting and placating the the crap out of your audience and running a CNC business. Over the years, theres been so many content creators in this space that just aim for clicks on their videos rather than telling it as it is. Nice work mate.
Good information on a cnc. I have been doing some research on cnc’s. Thanks for making this video!!
What a great video.... u have tremendous command of your numbers, machines, marketplace and present it quickly but yet thoroughly. Much appreciated for us newbs
Keep posting great content and eye opening discussions like this. We need to educate more people about the endless possibilities within the machining and fabrication trades.
Sir, I have been watching your videos for a couple of months and I finally sprung for the subscription.
Thanks for the information, insight and honesty. ( yes I'm sure )
Izzy…Thank you very much for this! I am an amateur wood worker trying to build my skills and have a starter CNC shapoko3 and even with this little machine and craft fair items I was able to have this machine earn it self back in about a year or less. I make inlayed resin charcuterie boards. Some day would love to have a machine like yours! Love your channel its always a great resource of information!
I totaly agree with you on the signs and parts aspect of CNC'ing being 'the thing'. Great Content, thanks Izzy!
Thank you Izzy! Been following you since you were in a garage with a home depot table saw! Very inspired to try things I thought were beyond my abilities. I have many of your products and plans and Izzy stickers on my tools! Keep on truckin brother!!
good to see you izzy getting back in the swing of things after health problems good video my friend
Awesome video, keep up the amazing work.
Izzy, I love seeing your entrepreneurial side. Your inventive nature is top notch.
There is definitely no "putting up with this kind of stuff" I love to hear success stories and opportunities. We need more not less of this, it's inspiring. Sharing success is altruistic too. 👌🏻
First of all BAD ASS VIDEO! I never thought about the money in keeping it simple. Great advice. Also, the cabinets you mentioned. You know that many companies sell them not assembled. That allows contractors or knowledgeable DIYers to save a bit of cash and do it themselves. You can just cut them out and box them up. Thanks again for the advice. I just bout an AVID PRO and this video helps. Just subbed!
Hey Izzy Great Video and I really appreciate your advice you put out for us slowly moving into the CNC world..I am about to jump in and purchase my first machine and you definitely hit on some things for me to move forward. I am a new subscriber to your channel and I really enjoyed the video and looking forward to following your channel. Thanks Adam B
Love your truthfulness, awesome and most informative cnc video
Thanks so much for this clear eyed view of this potential. Very much appreciated.
Hi.
I'm 42 years old and i start work with cnc routers since 1994 at age of 14. What i learn is that try to use your mahine to the max. Make cabinet,make parts, make sings etc.. make everything that you and your machine can do.
That way you have your machine busy and a working hour on the machine, is money.
When you say "parts" - what kind of stuff do you mean?
General. Parts that your machine can do.
Molding, car parts, hunting parts,bike parts,for house etc..
With Milling method you can produce million of parts and stuffs. You can cut a ton of materials.
Izzy, thanks for the video...it helped me to take the plunge to put some money down and towards buying my first CNC machine and going 4d...looking to build store fixtures, signs, and displays. I like the idea of being in a niche market....thanks for the video.
Just getting started with mine! Can’t wait to look back one day and say wow!
G’day Izzy. Great information thanks mate. I’m looking to upgrade my onefinity to something with more production capabilities and you have given me a lots to think about
So we bought a CNC as a way to improve production of our cabinet shop. What we need now is an alternative revenue stream. Building and installing cabinetry is a difficult business. I know this from my decades of struggle. Our labor force here is about zero. So as I get older I need an alternative and you've shown me what's outside the box so to say. Thank you so much.
Ut oh, looks like a SCAM. How do I know? You say. Because I never win and there was never a contest here, right?
This is one of the best "make money with" videos I have seen. It is not a "how I made money" or "others make this so you can as well" video or pushing specific products that everyone can make, so they do and saturate a market so no one can make money. Just honest, quick advice.
Can you make large sums of money? Yes. Just be prepared to put in the work, and sometimes, even luck or perfect timing can make a large difference.
Very informative video, I enjoyed the content keep up the good work.
The first thing I'd like to say is thanks for your policy on trash talk. I've had a CNC for several years now. I'm retired and have no interest in making a business out of it. I do this for FUN. This was a great video and shows the potential for a good business.
Thank you!
This was one cool video congrats and keep up the good work
Thanks for putting it right out there in the beginning Izzy about the negative, “puffy chest” comments! Great video!!!
Great info mate, thanks.
Great video.... I don't have much to say about the Cnc machine.... but I do like your work and ideas... keep the good content coming...
Excellent video, helps to open my horizon to possibilities. Thank you
Great content!!! Keep up the GREAT work.
Nice content brother, always appreciated!!!!
Good overview Izzy! I'm looking for my next gig ... This gives me ideas !!
Awesome, so glad it helped
Thank you for your insight! Greatly appreciated.
Great information given succinctly. Cheers Izzy
Excellent Video...thanks so much...I am debating on buying a CNC machine...maybe a quarter size of what you have...and you just supplied me excellent info to help me with that. thanks again.
thank you for your insight, I love what I can do on even a smaller CNC
Very good info. Fixing to buy a very small one to support my wood working hobby. Did not consider signage. Thanks
I clicked on the topic because I am interested, but doubtful I will ever pick one up, but you never know. I am not really a tech guys, just an old carpenter who loves to play in His shop after all the years in the field. i love the fact that such machines are becoming more and more accessible. thanks for the input.
Great subject and well explained. In my opinion, many people can buy and run a CNC these days and potentially make money BUT I think the major hurdle of any startup business is Marketing...GETTING the work to be done in the first place. Not everyone has that sales side to them but YES I totally agree ...you get what you put in.
Hey this is greate! Keep up the great work.
I love your HONEST take on reality!!! Just subbed
Nice, frank and down to earth. Thanks.
Thank you. Something I have been interested in for years
Good one Izzy...thanks for sharing!
Wow, I appreciate the information!
Great video Izzy 🤙
Right down the road from ya in Columbia
I dearly love your videos. I was really worried about your health a while back. Still amazed at your story.
I really liked this video, good info!
Awesome video. Thanks for the info. Your the best!!
I am a german metalworker andCNC-professional and at home I am a CNC-hobbyist. I like to do CNC because I myself hat watching TV...Listen to this man, he really knows what he talks about ! Respect from good old germany !
Great video , I have a Avid pro 4896 and working my way in to it .
I started running cnc machines in 1968 they ran 24 hours a day with preventive maintenance on weekends I did till 2006 they didn’t measure by the hour but by the minute in 68 it was like $75 a minute when I retired the company had 12 machines 4 of those were 3000 watt lasers yes I can see a million dollar a year business with your cnc machine
The cnc machines I ran were all sheet metal machines the turrets most had 32 tool holders but your machine I think could be a million dollar a year machine
Thanks for all your great videos
Thanks for bringing to light the earning potential of good old entrepreneurship and manufacturing in the USA
Pretty slick. Thanks. Liked the clip. I generally watched this channel for the nifty ideas with wood working. Did not know about the backstory, in a manner of speaking, for the wood bits that you had to have prepared before you fired up your table saw. A different way of looking at things. The only addition that such an in your shop widget might require is some serious dust collection. Maybe that might be an idea for the next clip?
Very informative, thank you Izzy.
Thank you so much for sharing. I agree 100% with you there is money to be made in CNC work.
Thank you Izzy. Nothing but the facts, great video.
I appreciate that!
Thank you so much for this very helpful video!
Why did this not pop up in my notifications. Love it Izzy. I need one.
Insightful. Just picked up a “hobbyist” cnc. Appreciate the insights.
I’ve been thinking about the CNC world and you have just opened my eyes to the ups and downs of CNCing. Lots of information. Gives you something to think about. Thank you 🤙🏻
Well said brother! Truth is hard to find in today's environment, Thank you!
love the honesty in the vid
Hi Izzy, been watching some of your videos for a while now. Always fascinated. I know nothing about any of the stuff you do, but this video was most timely. I just quit my job, and no, I’m probably not going to go out and buy a CNC machine, but you just re-inspired me to think outside the box. Excellent video. Thank you Sir
Nice! A big help.
Very realistic and valuable information. Thanks dear.
Thank you for making this straight forward video
EXCELLENT information and viewpoint - well done Izzy !
Thank you kindly!
great info! Appreciate you.
Nice to see same remotes on your hooks. I use them for my dust collector and a table vac, which are in a different "sound room".
Great watch. Thanks for sharing 👏
Love your vids, very cool diy creation. I love wood working and would love one day to have it be me main job.
Izzy, thank you for the information. You and stumpy nubs are great teachers.
Thank you
Thx! This was a great video!
Awesome information, Thank you!!!!
You bet!
Switching careers. Thinking about the CNC business. Ty Izzy for informative presentation. I went from 50%, now I’m 80% going to be involved. Next stop, find the right niche.
Not interested in CNC but appreciate the video and seeing your thought process. Thank you..
Thank you for the informative vid!
Great video! I keep rewatching it every now and then i don't know how you can leave negative comment about it.
Thanks!! Well done.
Enjoyed your take on how to make money with CNC! I also believe CNC is the way to go to bring back manufacturing to the US. At the rate this is going, a bunch of us have literally a mini factory in our shops. This was unthinkable even 20 years ago. We now have machines capable of making machines! Most of us are practically becoming mechanical engineers learning how to design 3D shapes in modeling SW and then CAMing it out on the machine. Again, unthinkable 30 years ago. And I don't claim to be better than a mechanical engineer. Far from it! But I am way much more capable than I was... err, 20 years ago! And yes, MEGA cool stuff!
Dig your feedback. Thanks
You are a good guy, thanks for doing what you do
Thank you for the video. Trying to get into cnc
I love the video, i come here for the CNC stuff.
Awesome video!
Great video, and contrary to your statement in the video I would love more content like this!
Izzy, thank you for a very interesting video.
Thank you very much for your inspiering words! The fact that you are here to help people like me is amazing, Thank you very much!
Nice video, very informative.
Thanks Izzy, for a sensible perspective on the possibilities! Your valuable experience shows in knowledge. I find it very helpful that parametric modeling skills are needed to design and tweak those widgets..combined with other production methods, such as molding and casting. I'm not ready for a big CNC so building smaller machines and fixtures to take prototypes to limited production. But a nice CNC could pull skilled craftsmen/artisans out of the corner of talent that just can not be delegated any other way.
