I am very new to CNC and have struggled to get started. I find Carbide generally a bit unfriendly; especially now that version 7 of the free version no longer gives you the Gcode, whilst the "out of the box" support and in-software prompts are hardly user-friendly. As a result I found this video really helpful and very easy to follow. I read down some of the comments and found them both inaccurate and unkind. Thank you again.

I don't think these free versions software are giving you gcode at all so you don't even know how things will work. Maybe that did while back but now now. They became popular and restricted the usage down to not usable.

Late to the game here. Excellent lesson. Getting ready to make 2d RC plane parts on my new TTC450 router. This program is all I need.

Great video thanks for the info!

Thanks. I’ve just built myself a CNC router so was looking on Amazon for some bits. You saved me a lot of money, I’ll just get a 1/4” 2 flutes to start with!

Great video, definitely will help me avoid issues with my Rikon bandsaw…

Thanks for sharing. For hose adapters, i had excellent results with Onshape. My printer is a Creality Ender-v3 SE

Mask?

I could be wrong, but I think some of you folks fail to understand active noise cancellation by using an out of phase wave. If the original noise wave is producing a positive +100 db painful pressure wave at your ear drum, and the generated out of phase wave produces a -100 db aka perfectly out of phase pressure wave, the net damaging pressure o. your ear drum will be 0 db! That is assuming all things working perfectly, which is unlikely of course. Still, the net effect if everything is working ok is a greatly reduced pressure wave on the ear drum, Which means much less pain and ringing of the ears. If some sort of damaging sound pressure wace had been getting thru to @cyberreefguru 's ears, his ears would have pain and/or ringing/tinnitus would have been perceived. I used to repair subwoofers. If playing them LOUD, the very loud low frequency sound(from ONE subwoofer) would have drowned out any rattles or squeaks or minor noises, and would also be rattling the walls as well as deafening me in a painful fashion. Or, playing 2 subwoofers side by side IN PHASE would worsen the painful loudness very significantly. However, all I had to do- with both subwoofers tightly side by side- was reverse the electrical connection on ONE subwoofer- and there would be sudden silence. No walls rattling, no ear pain. I could crank them up with enough wattage to cause each to have very large cone excursions, but while 1 cone was moving forward, the other cone was moving backwards cancelling every thing it was doing. It would be almost silent. Without that cancellation caused by an out of phase wave, I probably would have had ear pain, ear damage and tinnitus. As it was, I felt nothing. Without these negative results, there is no ear damage, all accomplished by noise cancellation via the addition of an out of phase wave. Now, these air pods won't be that perfect, due to imperfect ear seal( letting noise in around the pod's ear pads). Also, this might not work as well with higher frequencies as with lower frequencies. Also how quickly can these pods generate the noise cancelling out of phase wave? However many Milli-seconds might pass before the wave can be generated, that is how long damaging sound can get thru to the ear drum. But in theory, if all things are working perfectly, a noise cancelling system could provide perfect ear protection. Just like adding a 2nd sub-woofer wired out of phase provided me with as much ear protection as near total silence did. And better than a good set of over ear muffs did.

Excellent video. Thanks!

Newbie here. I have a machine that is about 10 years old. The question on setup is puzzling. I have no idea what processor(?) it uses. I';m pretty sure it is not a Shapeoko blah blah blah. How can I find this out?

I absolutely hate (and normally never watch) insulting "you're doing it all wrong" thumbnail/videos but this one I will make an exception : )

The dust collection of this and the Laguna’s are poorly designed. They put them on the back so that the hoses wouldn’t stick out the side. But the efficiency of trying to suck dust out with the port behind the wheel, where the wheel blocks the direct vacuum, is a bad idea. On this Rikon the port is way back. It should be near the side, under where the blade is on the wheel. That would help. But putting the port(s) on the side, facing the edge of the blade would be much more efficient. The Leguna requires a dust collection system much more powerful than it should need and imagine, due to the design, that it’s the same thing for this one as well.

I cannot find the link to the test file you mentioned. Would love to use those.

Sounds like the mirka and 3M xtract sander have similar issues. Mine recently died while just outside of warranty and repairs were over 50% of the new price. Cut my losses and moved on to a festool as well.

step-over is in the machine settings in easel

Thank you! I just received my new Onefinity Pro machine and this video has been a great help.

Absolutely brilliant video. The knowledge you are sharing and your delivery of it is first class and I was able to take so much from this one video. I am in the the throws of trying to come to terms with my first CNC machine - a Gemitsu 3018 Prover v2 (a retirement present to myself :) ). I took delivery last week and fire it up for the first time this weekend using Easel. Even managed to make some successful tests! May I reach out to you if I have any problems? Greetings from Warsaw, Poland!

Oh, bless you! You offered the best explanation for this I could find.

Thats not market value for those slabs

The wheel in front is a tripping hazard, so I swapped it to the back. This works fine in my situation (I mostly move it straight forwards and back), but it means I have to lift the cabinet door up on its hinge to get it over the wheel in front. About 3mm of either shorter cabinet door or longer cabinet base would have resolved this. Rikon, are you listening? While I'm busy redesigning things, it would be much easier to use studs and nuts, rather than bolts, for the trunnion. The table's weight is off-center enough that it's a pain to get that first bolt in during assembly.

Used the same process for years! Works well

Forgot password to economos cnc machine 1p 4000 software. Can anyone help.

It's say's your first project in 6 minutes. then the video is 29 minutes 🤔

What about surfacing bits?

Now that Carbide create pro version 8+ is out, sure would like to see someone review it. It's severely lacking for version 8. I think its up tot 8.5 now. Yours here is version 5+.

Finally saw a review that tells the truth. About the fence- I remember all the reviews I saw mentioning how great the fence-adjusting knob is for squaring the fence, but none of them mentioned how much it wanders while tightening it down, as you pointed out. I tried this bandsaw myself today and noticed the same problem. Thank you!

what is a good cnc machine that you would recommend to a new user

Awhhh you didnt show the end result?

Check your math. Your averages of the absolute values are wrong. They are much larger than you show.

I have my Festool sander for 8 years and use it heavy duty. We use it for sanding walls ,plaster etc for painting. Sometimes it run days for sanding. The machine never have issues,only the cabel is replaced. The mirka sells a sander 175mm and Festool don’t sell that size. Maby is consider to buy a mirka and have the same quality as festool

great video reef, the only thing with the electrical boxes is that they are fire rated at certain solidity. Also they have the wings on them so you can mount it flush with sheetrock

I have an xcarve. I actually learned a few things about Easel in this video. I LOVE that I can have it set to inches and still enter numbers as mm. I needed that yesterday. Glad to know I can do that. I also forgot about the option of turning the cut depth to 0 to let it know I don’t want to do something. I have always been frustrated about the bits available. But I did learn yesterday about how to add bits. I do have Pro. Thanks for sharing this.

Good info. Yeah, do one (if you haven’t) with multiple coats. And how about pine and mfd? Getting so you gotta get a bank loan for the other stuff! (Lived in Ballard Hall for a year. Engineering center was brand new! Could actually walk over to Folsom and wander around right down on the field. Different times!)

Thank you so much. Definitely helps me get started on my projects and helps me decide what software program I would like to invest in👍🏾

I quite often use watco danish oil for sealer

I used 2 16" magnet tool holders from Harbor Freight. Lay magnets half on the iron table and the other half on the extension wing on each end . The magnet pulls them flat with the iron top. Attach screws and your done.

WHERES THE LINKS

This is the best tutorial I have found so far. Your step by step was easy to follow. The warning about Carbide Create V7 is much appreciated. I will stick to V6 as I am an armature/hobbyist CNC operator. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you.

Change this style of making videos. Speak while you make stuff. Don't sit and speak the entire video. Show me what you are talking about in real time.

Thank you

I suggest never use anything cloud based - description ends, your project files are useless. You need the software on your computer. Never use limited softwares like Easel that you grow it out in 2 weeks as you develop you need more function but it just doesnt have more. So you need a full fledged software on your computer. Vectric, Carveco, Fusion are the softwares everyone uses.

Tanks a lot for the explainations ! Do you know how a Onefinity would be moved in "machine' coordonnates ? I would want to move to the rear right corner after a job instead of the front left homing position and I can't figured it out... Help ! :D

really bad video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!get off youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello sir nice video. I have a atomstack A20 pro that stoped working and can’t find a solution. The good thing is the the 20watt laser head module does work. My question is do you think I can use the 20 watt laser madule head on the A10 pro unit. Thanks

I can’t believe how bad CNC software is compared to 3D printing software! Wow! It’s like the stone age in comparison!

Commercials on KZbin are getting out of hand. When will there be some good competition?

can we not buy the file anymore?

Excellent video. I’m currently in the process of trying out your method for routing finger groove handles on the sides of my board. What size and type did you use (specifically the one pictured)?

When I click on the 'Design File' link you listed, it gives the following message: "Sorry, this item is unavailable."
