How much the price?
NTN MARKING
Send me video
I prefer the H201PJ4 nick back paddy whack upslice dongle.
I'm dead....🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao
lmao that's what I was thinking
Really? What’s your stand point on the 73EIEIO flutter butter cutter?
@@missionmarkone7484 It’s good in certain circumstances, but the FGD135 Rama Lama Lama Lama Ding Dong is superior in duration.
Ah yes, how reliable is the FCBJ-979-2 bit, never fails
😂😂😂
When he said, "a292828nxbwjhq" i absolutely knew what he was talking about 💯
Thats the Serial number Sweetheart 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I understood about 10% of what you just said
He just spat out the part numbers and what kind of bit they were, nothing too complex.
@@swifter46ter very helpful to those who look for parts imo, dude is a legend, rather than spewing nonsense and filling time to lengthen the youtube short
I suggest getting one of them PK143-4556HJK 1/2 spiral Ultra FUEL MAX smooth bore cutting bit multi tool multiple multi functional multiplier multiplication Cutting Disk EXTREME Techno Mumbo Jumbo edition. They work great. Source? Trust me bro.
Sounds like an Amazon product with terrible chinese to english translation 😂😂 TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
He's just reading entire Handbooks at this point
He has universal handbook... secrets of black holes also written innit...
Your a drum fuckkk
im literally only watching these bc the bits have such a nice blue color xD
guy is narrating a machine and i love it
Tool changers are so satisfying
I see that your table has a lot of cuts in it and you probably replace it after a while but have you ever thought of using a spoiler board. 1/4 mdf still let’s lots of suction through and could even add double stick tape if needed but it will save your table a lot longer. We use them all the time in our stair building shop. Our bits never touch our table. And we have plugs for all non used holes
why not use 1" mdf? it allows, plenty of suction and we can get a year out of a set of spoilboards. and yes your bits do touch your table. same as mine, same as theirs. wouldn't need the spoilboard at all if they didn't. your hole issue is weird as well. there are three hundred holes in my table and every one of the them are covered by the spoilboards.
i love CNC
I can't tell if I prefer the wabba-labba dingdong bit of the jiminy crock puppet bit
If you want to minimize pulled up paper, but still use an upcut, run a chamfer mill around the profile for a nice, controlled edge break first, and then cut the profile with your upcut
That's a satisfying tool you got there
Killer red works so good at holding stuff when u cant have any clamps
This entire time I thought it was wood and was like "wtf is he talking about?!" 😂🙏🏻
The O flute is probably one of the best bits out there. Such clean cuts in plastic. You do have to use high RPM.
This is how dads flex money
Daylight seems deep, sweet setup
Lovely bit off equipment ✌🏼
The auto tool changer is a must have
Acrylic likes heavy chips faster than you might think. Same with thin aluminum sheets.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤡
My man translating the wrong Morse code...😭💀
As a CNC operator/programmer, I really appreciate the bit numbers and didn't bat an eye at the vid, but these comments are hilarious 😂😂 and.. my go to for acrylic is the onsrud 65‐018 3/16" upcut spiral O, 32000 rpms at 125-170 ipm depending on the type of acrylic. 😂😂
Haha right, glad to see someone enjoys it! How are you running it at such a high speed without it melting? Are you using oil misting or compressed air or anything to keep everything cool?
@ToolsToday I feather the ipm depending on the type. Acrylic really likes the speed, but my bits have be sharp to get a good surface.. I use the bits too dull to cut Acrylic to cut aluminum with misting fluid.
Well I don’t know about you but the machine that works the best in my opinion has got to be the eye2eye-manlicker 3000-37ec. The precision is humane.
CNC👍😍
Good to see that years have passed since the last time I wandered into one of these videos and mr ToolsToday was complaining that people were saying “just use a drill” saying it’s easier with a CNC etc not realising that we don’t have a nick nack paddywack lying about for super flangelated ambernikle underslucks.
I personally would have used the AF-944 CXE-012 Light for the edge
use a countersink to knock down the edges after milling, I recommend
Great video. Lovin the cnc stuff . Let’s see some custom shit too !
How often do you have to face the table of the cnc machine??
Countersunk screws are not advisable in acrylic. Any expansion or contraction of the acrylic itself or the surface it's mounted to will result quickly in screw hole breakout. Better to use a flat under-head type screw thru an oversized thru-hole. If you need a flush top surface, use a flat low-head screw thru an oversized thru hole and an oversized counterbore, to allow for slight movement.
Do you find it better to profile-cut acrylic in the climb cut fashion, as opposed to conventional?
I found with acrylic, in my experience, if you want a decent surface finish, you can make huge cuts, but taking a 10 thou for your final pass with conventional tends to yield a better result. Climb tends to leave a mess that you have to file or wheel.
Also, a slightly slower speed but a normal feed. Don't go too slow or you'll just melt everything.
That stepcraft is the boss
51404-K team 👍🏼
Ah yes X Æ A-12 is making cnc tools
Man you machinists really always on one cant even scroll thru shorts
Just for your records, this is the video that lured me into your web, and now I'm happily subscribed. 😍👍
That looks a whole lot more like 3/16ths than an 1/8th lol maybe it's the camera
The cnc machine I use doesn’t have a auto bit changer 😭.
¡¡ Magnífica máquina.!! 👍👍👍👍
Noice work mon
I’m a Design Engineer and i love this🤝🏻
Tool change 👍 👍 👍 👍
question. how does the acrylic remain on the board when being trimmed off. is it due to the vacuum bed?
Working in signs, running a router table, often times I get better finishes running a climb cut on acrylic. Aluminum too.
Hi, just bought a new CNC with a 9kw spindle for our sign shop. Can you recommend any bits for acrylic and aluminum.
@@highmountaintrader yes! Amana tool is a popular one, but LMT Belin or LMT Onsrud were my favorite. We used single flute bits, typically called O flute.
Our router was an older one and had some rigidity issues, so we used 1/8 or 3/16 bits for our aluminum cutting, and 1/4 for acrylics and composite panels.
Typically these bits were in lengths of 1" or less. The 1/8 bit was .5 long. All 1/4 shank.
We also had a 2 inch long 3 flute bit for cutting sign foam. I wasn't a fan of that one at all, but I wasn't the boss.
I would also highly recommend getting a Kool Mist and running it with no liquid simply for an airjet on the bit and cutting area.
As a summary, Amana tools I think will be cheaper option than the LMT bits, but I had less breakages and better finishes with LMT, esp in aluminum. But part of that could have been our older router table with some rigidity issues.
I use the NE14ABJ bit
Nice
I prefer the Hv67989 / zzzcx spiral bit instead of the hv 67989/zzzcx
Ahhh, what's the angle on yer dangle? 5x5 in the pipe. Roger that.
It's really nice video Bro
Thank you so much 😀
rich people really live in a whole other universe. they don't even have to touch the tools anymore
Why rich people?
What are the speeds and feeds you're using? I've been cutting acrylic with a .125" single flute endmill, .5mm plunge, 600mm/min feedrate, and I haven't been super happy with the finish. I feel like a faster and deeper cut is what I need, but I'm also super concerned about the rigidity of my Snapmaker 2
Oh yuh that shi hard
Where can I buy that ATC attachment?
Interested in a new router- how's that stepcraft compare to the probotix line? I'd loooove a tool changer
Мне бы такую прелесть, собрал бы красивую акустику себе
For that burr, why not chase the edge of that part with the chamfer? Have it cut less than 0.010" and she will be nice and clean
😂like hearing a football match 🤣😂
Mantap sekali.
Oh, oh yeah…I know some of these words!
Well a nice cut is something different haha
what is this job called?
CNC Machining
i prefer the XYZ123Chromo4Matta over the XYX321Cum4000Reducer. Why do you ask? because the Cum4000Reducer Has a Hexoganal Cutting edge that fits perfectly into the 432XAEAEAEElon a cutting bit!! If you guys are gonna go for ANYTHING! Go for the XYX321Cum4000Reducer With the V2 Strap on! Happy cutting! 💪🏽
I was 3 weeks ago learning what are the steps that the cnc machine starts to work its realy easy if you have a good teacher at school
Is it better to cut the chamfer before the hole?
That shi hard
Except that's not acrylic. It's polyethylene. They cut waaaaaay differently. I'd actually like to see you try acrylic without cracking it.
Source - am machinist, 30 years.
This is cast acrylic, not polyethylene. Cast acrylic and extruded acrylic cut very very differently.
Cutting acrylic with a CNC mill cool but my favorite way to machine acrylic is via fiber laser.
Man i miss my cnc router......
You should have used an opti rough to clear that excess stock . That initial approach was too excessive. You need to understand how to engage the material with a roughing pass then come in with a finisher when profiling - CNC Applications Engineer
No one really knows what bits you use unless they do this professionally by there selves as well. It sounds really weird if you’re just watching a video and have no clue about the bits or any finished product
Router cnc shit is so easy 😂
2D = fun
3D = pain in my ass
What keeps your material secured to the table so that it doesn’t move while you’re a bit is cutting
Idk who needs to know this but I had my fart PR to this short. I farted for at least 5 seconds. God Damn
As a machinist i find it funny you dont just say the size of the endmill...
Yep....those holes are gonna crack.
I was a machinist for years. We used to call that a government job, because milling acrylics, nylons, Delrin or any other kinds of plastic meant, no coolant. So at the end of the day your machine and hands were clean. Not so much with cast iron or Bakelite.
Bro whoever had you machining bakelite is a fuck nut shit is highly toxic if you inhale any particles....Has to be machined in a machine under vaccum.
God I hate machining Bakelite
Cleaning the machine is a pain in the ass
Como que funciona esse esquema no spindle pneumática como é sistema?
What CAM software do you use?
Мне одному показалось, что вначале видео они конусной фрезой сделали цилиндрические отверстия? 😀
This is cool and all but how does it not move while cutting
That one of those vacuum beds?
You don't chamfer holes you countersink them 🤣
Wow 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🛠🛠🛠🛠🛠🛠😎😎😎😎😎😎good job
Doesn't CNC'ing make the cut edges of the acrylic not clear?
I’ll stick to a drill and angle grinder, but thanks
feeds and speeds?
The worst part of machining acrylic is the mess.
im not into routers and there tooling, have you tried reversing your pathway to remove the bur?
Router dude tryna use as much jargon as he can to sound tech
How strong is the vacuum to keep the piece on there with the cuts into the board
This is a strange set up, how does the acrylic plate not move in the cutting process? Also in my time cutting acrylic I also had to run coolant.
Anyone know of a good first CNC machine
what are the costs involved with the quick change bit tools?
How does the acrylic not move?
Would you all mind shipping one of those to my house?
Well until you dont mass produce something like that its similar to leds on christmas tree... You take it out once a year and you can do without it anyway ; p
I feel like its a bit extra to use a cnc to make simple cuts like this
Why not mount a vacuum hose on the cnc or is it not needed or to hard to do..JW
