When I was offered the opportunity to beta test an upcoming robotic arm from Tormach, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. CNC chainsaws baybeeeeee. Aside from being fundamentally awesome, it is a very interesting software problem. Since I didn't have to build the arm I was able to focus the project and the video on the software challenges of making something like this work. Thank goodness I didn't have to build the arm because the software almost killed me. I can imagine all kinds of next steps for this creation like machining textures with the chainsaw or cutting topiaries. I hope you like it!

2 tips for wood:
1. Use a carbide tipped chain
2. File the guards down. Lots of people that don’t do it for a living don’t realize you need to file the guards every 3 or so filings of the teeth otherwise they block the cut. The more you file, the more the teeth bite. Since you have a robot with lots of strength holding the saw, you can file them down way more than a human could hold back and have it cut well at all angles.
filing down the rakers allows the teeth to remove more material at a time which is dependent on the power of the chainsaw.
Use the tip of the saw
@@gadgetg9479 If you paid attention and/or watched the whole video, you'd know that the guards are precisely why he can't cut with the tip.
@@Oroborus710 I got that bit but the tool parth might need some adjustment after looking at quite a few freehand chainsaw milling videos over the past 3 years Me and my father have completely changed our technique with the saw.
Less is more to optimise a saws cutting ability you want to cut with as few teeth as possible this let’s each tooth do the most work possible. Not slow the saw by making lots of teeth all work at once!!! This can be quiet dangerous if the saw is held by a man but (safety first always watch for kickback) but I don’t see that problem with a robot!
You are SEVERELY overestimating how strong a robot arm is lol, that particular robot can only lift 13 lbs. If you look closely you don't see any massive hulking motors sticking off that robot or anything like that because the motors are so small they fit inside the arms and they don't even really have insane gearing ratios either because robots are quite fast, usually a 2:1 or 3:1 reduction with a small belt and sprockets is very standard. Its very unlikely he will ever get a robot that small to be able to cut wood with a human chainsaw.
“This is called a cheater, when you get way out here you can snap your wrench in half”
Yes, that has been my general experience lol😆
That or you snap the head off of the bolt.
My experience is that I always have the bolts in really cramped spaces so I can’t even use that
His dead pan is too good 🤣
My experience has been with the cheap wrenches before my current (nice lifetime warranty) one that the wrench doesn't snap in half, it sheers off at the bolt grabby attachy piece...
I only have a good wrench set and good torx set cause old euro luxury cars are cheap here and I know a guy who has much more experience fixing their issues than me who got me into some good tools for the essential repairs.
Or in the case of turning it the wrong way with a good wrench the bolt being cut in half...
In the UK there used to be a van manufacturer called LDV. They went bust a long time ago, I think they have re-emerged under new ownership, but the ones built in the UK in the 90s and 00s are somehow still on the road.

If you only sharpen one side of the chain… you get a curve cut.
And if you sharpen both sides you CAN make cuts with the tip of the saw.
Most people who don't use a chainsaw for a living seriously underestimate how sharp the teeth need to be for the saw to run properly.
I sure did.
@@uegvdczuVF needs sharp indeed
yeah but keep in mind that he has a robot arm, it's strong enough that it'd probably stop a curved cut just from brute force.
"There's a finite number of ways to screw it up, so you'll eventually finish" is probably one of the best things I heard in my life. xD
That is the core of the R&D engineer's mind, right there.
He should just use the Chinese method of problem solving. Step one: Find a company or person who already found a solution to this problem. Step two: Hack said company or person and steal their solution. Step three: Use the stolen solution and pass it off as your own. Step four: Deny that you stole any solution or that you're killing off an ethnic minority living in your country.
This is similar to the Russian method of problem solving. Except you poison all of your political rivals instead of killing off ethnic minorities. Secretly you're doing that too but no one yet.

17:26 - this is not anti kickback. It's the tooth that controls how deep the cutting element (the next one in the chain) cuts. It should be like 0,5 - 1mm lower than the hight of the cutting tooth

Can I just give Tormach a additional shoutout for supporting you on this and enabling you to test this new piece of machinery? I've gained so much respect for them as a result of this ploy, even though I know it's marketing and user testing, it just speaks heavily to their company.
At least they care what users of their products think, have seen companies much worse
I swear the engineers at Tormach are fans of Shane and got the marketing department hella drunk so they'd do this :D
But tbh Shane is the best kind of beta tester. His projects are so far outside the norm that if the robot has any weaknesses they will come out. I've done beta testing for video games, and a part of it is trying really stupid ideas or really weird speedrunning tricks that might screw with the code. Basically if a speedrunner searching for new tricks can't glitch the game even by manipulating code, a normal gamer is really unlikely to ever fall through the floor. Same principle applies here: if the robot arm can survive Shane's project, a normal customer will never run into a problem.

Until there are multiple variables and sometimes doing the human representation of a rapidly expiring random tree is the best way to go.
Ok how they make this is really insane you need to now what you are doing its not just cut you need to put proper speed it is not a saw were you can rip it fast as you want and thats not a proper saw there is no gaurd you need a guard a gaurd is these teeth in the back of the chain the chain will pull foward sow it blocks its wood gaurd you need a person to run that saw not a robot that why it smoked

I've spent a good amount of time chainsawing, and I can say that that little chain on that little saw would get dull very quickly, especially if it's always going in tip first, even with softwood. I'd guess that's why it got so hot. A longer chain with a built in cutting oil squirter on the arm seems like it would be crucial. That being said, awesome video as usual. The sheer perseverance your projects take is nuts.
i think a string saw would work too
Did his saw even have any bar oil?
haha.. tip first
I like how he decided to not do the apple-peeler method because it would take 10h+. Then he decided to take over a week to find a different solution.
The problem wasn't just the amount of time it would take. It was that the tiny chainsaw probably wouldn't survive cutting for that long.
I was almost going to skip the in video advertisement. But you asked so politely to watch it, i was totally okay in doing so. I wish i had half the ingenuity and creativity you have. Awesome project.
Love tuning in to see what kind of suicide booth you’ve made this week.
Lol
Kill all humans
@@MrKert86 yup
Best comment. Pretty sure this is coming on this channel at one point or another.
Tormach: Hey, how many pieces of equipment do you think we can send Stuff Made Here before his wife leaves?
Well he’s gonna need the space she’s taking up for his equipment eventually.
You are an amazing human being. Got five subscriptions to Kiwi Co for my grandkids. Great selections
got on youtube intendin to watch for 5 minutes and watched the whole thing, you have an amazing mind i'm envious! keep up the amazing work
Hey, I'm glad your wife seems to think my book is more interesting than carving logs with a robot! Hahaha. That made my day. :)
Thanks for making such an amazing book! I learned so much from it - one of my favorite textbooks :)
@@StuffMadeHere I appreciate the kind words, and many thanks to you for your brilliant work that shows why we are in love with robotics!
@Connor Towns it is, it’s great that two people who admire each other are able to communicate via the comments of a video platform.
Go Steve! Okay, I'm going to fall prey to such shameless marketing and buy the damn book. With my limited faculties, I need all the help I can get.
My first thought: That looks like a good book to read. Stopped here to comment, looked up the book, and haven't even watched the rest, yet (I promise I will as soon as I'm done looking)
"You get way out here and you snap your wrench in half"
Can confirm from personal experience
Can second it for sure
I had to pause the video to laugh at the beautiful delivery of that joke.
@@lauraner99 Me too 😂
I'm a robotics engineering student in his first year and you truly inspire me!
Very interesting video. The "anti kickback tooth" is a depth gauge. You need to file it down. Sharpen the blades first with a round file and then file down the depth gauges with a flat file so that they leave enough room for the blades to work. It will cut like a hot knife through butter.
Humans tell their kids “You can be President!”Chainsaws tell their kids “You can be in a Stuff Made Here video!”
CHOCOLATE RAIN
Yo Tayzonday is a subscriber of stuff made here, you got good taste dude
Dudu rain
Pretty sure kids don’t think it’s a good goal to try and be president anymore.
You’re still alive?!!!?!??!?!! Honestly stoked! Happy you are still around
20:57 "my wife is totally different, which is one of the reasons i love her so much" i was not expecting this amount of wholesomeness
Man I wish i had half of the machines you have in your workshop! Beautiful job, love the videos!
I like this guy, he just shows us how once can make something great just from the comfort of home!!!
I’m an engineering student, and I watch these videos imagining the day I can make projects this good, but the further I get in my degree the more I realize this guy is just a wizard.
He does this as a job so he has way more time and money to do this stuff, and every tool under the moon so don't feel too bad. But he still is very impressive.
@@willsk3122 The most important thing that he has is experience. You could have all the tools, money and time under the sun, if you don't know what you're doing and how to troubleshoot when something goes wrong, you're pretty much screwed.
Another important side effect of this being his job:
Giving up on a project is a much worse option than usual
@@willsk3122 He only very recently started making videos. He had most of this equipment at his home already so I'm curious what his job was previously
@@chrism45 I think he was in 3D printer product development, so very familiar with cnc coding, manufacturing and the product lifecycle. That plus a passion for DIY and craft will get you 75% of the way there. The rest is, I believe, dark magic
I can seriously learn from this guy. So glad the internet exists! 👍
Couldn't we all!
He is freaking amazing. So glad he shares all this with the world. Not only can he make a living, but he can share his wealth of knowledge with the younger generations. A lot of his projects are stupid and have no practically BUT damn it really shows what goes into design and build
I dont work in a similar field to him, but i also feel like i learn by watching him slove problems. Hes got a very intelligent process and a great way of explaining thing.
@@adamhoisington9761 exactly. Super valuable concepts in every video that nearly anyone can learn from.
You just want a heart from stuff made here
This channel is one of my favorites. Can't wait to get a little workshop
Awesome & inspiring!
Happy New Year😁
"This is one of those ideas that is so bad it wraps back round to good" - I will be remembering this for some time to come
🤌 Every super successful web business
"Dance till you're dead 10 hours" is the best music for coding.
And crying.
Thank you I was was wondering what he was watching.
I was hoping I wasn't the only one who noticed it playing in the background. xD
what’s the difference?
Code until you re dead
same thing
I think it's crazy how just applying your knowledge as an engineer can get you free stuff
I thought you had to be practically famous to be a beta tester for new tech, but it even happened to me and I don't even have my degree yet
I bought an electric scooter and offered the company some design tips and they asked to put me in their beta tester program for a free scooter.
I'm so glad I chose this career path, it's a dream
