3Dtek Heavy Mill CNC Router Kit Build - Forme Industrious

[@SuperiorEtchworx]

Love that machine!! So shiny. What I love about my CNC is the ability to get it to do the long boring bits while I make something fun.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Superior Etchworx I hope to do the same! Cheers Barry!

[@russtaylor4242]

You're the only guy on KZbin using one of these pretty much, would love to see more on it :) Cheers

[@PaskMakes]

Fantastic mate! Can't wait to see what you create with it! :)

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Pask Makes thank you! A whole heap of learning ahead though I really am itching to get on the machine. Other stuff keeps getting in the way of the fun. Ah that's life. Cheers mate!

[@GibClark]

😊👍👍Good for you. I look forward to seeing what you create! I considered it but went the other way. .... Anvil, forge, leg vice, and tongs. We both have lots of learning coming our way !! 👍👍

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank Gib! I would like to do Blacksmithing too, that's one of my problems, I want to do everything. It's all so interesting!

[@GibClark]

Scott Turner yes!!! Me too!! Collecting parts for a forge press also. Hopefully day job slows down!!

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

Oh how easy certain things will become now like flattening slabs and bench tops and sleepers, cutting circles and curves and making recycled wood power outlets that we just so need in Australia and can’t get. Good on ya mate so glad you got one. This will help unlock your creativity not in any way suppress it.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hi Luis, man this thing will allow a heap of new possibilities, once I get on top of all its tricks. But the best way of learning is to go out there and carve some projects. All the best mate!

[@RyanYourMainMan]

Scott's shed is a really great product. Keen to see what you have planned for the future

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to developing my skills and knowledge on this machine.

[@robevans8555]

Great addition to the toolkit, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Rob! Looking forward to getting on the machine, have been working elsewhere recently. I'm itching!

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Nice CNC! I love how quiet that air-cooled spindle is. I need to look into one a little closer. If I could give you a bit of unsolicited, absolutely "worth-what-you're-paying-for-it" advice, it would be to dive into Vectric's tutorials from within VCarve Pro and immerse yourself. It's just like anything else - the only way to get good at it is to practice, and the only way to practice is to do it. Save early, save often, and preview your toolpaths several times. Above all, have fun with it. Haters are gonna hate - the rest of us will be too busy having fun. Cheers!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Mark! I was totally surprised how quiet the spindle is. It's 3 phase brushless. Most of the noise in the video was the dust collector running in the background. Yes I've been getting into the Vetric videos. They are so good. haters gunna hate but so far everyone has been good in the comments. Thumbs down is all part of the game I suppose. All the best and thanks for your advise!

[@CountryFamily]

That's just like my kid, I ask him to come out in the shop and move something heavy and he wears his flip-flops. 😂

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I know! Sadly though my Son has no interest in Shed stuff. At least In know my tools and sockets will not disappear

[@Crewsy]

There are a lot of CNC haters out there who will make comments about it not being hand made or there is no skill involved but you explained it very well by equating it to the rise of power tools compared to the old traditional hand tools. The “machine” will only do what the craftsman tells it to do. Power tools of any kind in the wrong hands will just make a pile of sawdust. I look forward to the future projects you take on and watching the creativity of yours that gets unlocked as the result of having this new power tool in your shop.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Wayne. I thought of a better way to put it, and I should have said this; This CNC will assist me with projects I wouldn't other wise attempt without it. So I'll be experimenting a whole lot with some new shapes and ideas and see what comes of it. There are heaps of better woodworkers out there that do traditional projects. I don't indent to perform work at that level. I'm more about pursuing a creative idea and learning from it. Most of what I have done is an experiment. I hope people understand that. Thanks for your support and understanding Wayne - all the best!

[@Crewsy]

Scott Turner Anyone that has watched more than 2 of your videos should be able to see the “experimental” aspect of your builds and the creativity you put into them with many free flowing lines. Especially if they watched your welding cart and coffee table builds. The CNC will be a great addition to have in your shop and I look forward to seeing where it will allow your imagination to go.

[@Batti2323]

I can't wait to see where this new capability takes you, Scott! That's a superb machine for you. I know that I will learn from how you use that machine.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! I only hope I can live up to the expectation. We'll see. have a lot to learn first.

[@jackspearsiii5639]

That's awesome. I always enjoy seeing new equipment. I wish I could get one today but, my piggy bank isn't full enough yet. I can't wait to see what's to come with you having it.

I have the standard electronics and opted not to get the T Slot bed as it is not required. That dropped the price a bit. Yes, I hope to get plenty of use out of it, cheers!

[@martyn1678]

awesome kit you definetly have the skill to have build your oown you could have mounted your x gantry plates on that awesome steel bench you welded up. Any one watching this video try and avoid pushing your machine around by hand like this you are ecentially generating a electrical feed back that could dameage your control board 👍

[@douglasmachado7767]

What great addition to the shop! You're going to need a bigger shop soon

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Cheers Doug! Think I'm over due for a bigger shop now :)

[@n1352-m1i]

Would such a machine do plasma cutting as well (swapping the flat bed for a water grill one), is it something that you've looked into as well (plasma cutting and 3D router) ?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Yes, I'm told it can. I may try one day.

[@johnfaithfull9240]

If you make an adapter to hold a gas torch in the router head and jack your piece of steel up off the bed (so as not to cut it in half) you have a cnc steel cutting device.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Man, those have been my thoughts for a while too. I would need to upgrade my plasma torch to something like a thermo cut that starts it's arc without the feedback. Was also thinking of making an arm that attached to the router attachment that extended to a second Plasma bed, mmmm

[@johnfaithfull9240]

I spent today building a table for a machine like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/enzbc39pgrCcZpqIhey are so cheap in China and they have been using them so long there is no mystique . In small ship yards I have seen them set up on bricks over a patch of dirt. Usually a kid about 16 doing the computer stuff and the builders scratch a sketch in the dirt with a stick , kid then inputs to the machine . Sometimes cutting 40mm plate,gas bottles laying all over the ground , making their own acetylene on site. Don't be afraid to experiment, The cnc will push around whatever is attached to the node.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Cheers John!

[@КастомБунтари]

Отличное приобретение =))

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Спасибо, да, я надеюсь получить хорошее применение от этой машины!

[@PJGalati]

I'm looking forward to you creating some CNC'd spacey wood stuff! Maybe a companion cart to your welding rig? :P

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Yes, I have a lot to learn and at the moment I'm tuning and getting used to all the "stuff". I hope to do a video on a creation in the near future, after I get my next welding video nailed down. All the best!

[@rendel5024]

Scott, with a lot of these machines there is so much you can do with the face of materials, is there scope to mount materials vertically to do joints like finger joints, dovetails and mortices & tenons?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Yes I think you can. I haven't tried it but where there is a will there is a way. May need to modify the CNC Bed though. Lots of stuffing around. Might be more efficient for a Router jig.

[@akhtarmohammad6205]

Can you make a whole step by step video how to assemble all parts and wires and its controller That will be very interesting video.

[@jorgbrinker5868]

Hey Scott, tolle CNC hast du dir da angeschafft👏.Ich hoffe auf tolle Projekte aber so wie ich dich kenne wirst du das Gerät schon passend einsetzen 😀. Liebe Grüße aus Ostfriesland.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hallo Jörg, Ja ich denke die Maschine wird eine Freude sein. Ich hoffe auf neue Ideen. Vielen Dank!

[@kevinreardon2558]

You haven't trammed it yet. I've had mine for three years and could not get fine work to be accurate. Then I learned about tramming. I'm having to rebuild my base unit due to a 40 thousand of an inch deflection of the length of the Y axis. So for about another $300 US, I might get it down to a one thousands of an inch accuracy. Ah, the fun of discovery! VCarve Pro is really nice. It does more then what I know, but then in a few more years I might exceed it. The race is on!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Kevin Reardon Hi Kevin, thanks for the tip. I'll look into it for sure. I square up the cut on the X y axis but I'm sure it actually be improved using a dial indicator. All the best!

[@kevinreardon2558]

I learned a whole bunch by watching videos from oxtoolco. Tom works at Lawrence Berkeley Labs as a machinist. Watching his videos on setting work up just blew my mind on how to obtain accuracy from my equipment. I bought a Shark Pro a few years back and thought I was in heaven, and then I started watching Tom and then found now inaccurate the Shark was. Now I'm in the process of trying to obtain 0.001 accuracy.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

1 thou now that's a tight CNC. I'll check out that You Tube link. I'm always interested in learning from the Pros. Thanks again Kevin!

[@remi0321]

hi how deep and how fast can you push a 8mm endmill in hard oak ?

[@joell439]

Very cool addition. I wouldn’t have thought your shed had enough room. Glad you found a way to squeeze it in. With the many organic shapes you have managed to build, I wonder if we will be seeing the CNC carve out some wood bucks for some hammer forming. 😊. Take care..... Joel

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

How's it doing Joel!? It's a tight squeeze in the shed now! Yes I thought of carving out some bucks for future projects and I would like to do some metal casting one day too. Cheers and all the best!

[@terryatadrenalinsgarage5021]

[@quadzillar]

Hi. Just found your channel & subscribed. Watched quite a few projects, that small anvil, Man, you have some paitence! The cutoff bandsaw you have, does it also operate horizontally with an attachable table or do you have another bandsaw? Thanks

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hi, huge thanks for the Sub! Well I can be patient, but also I can be quite impatient. Depends what I am doing and my attitude I suppose. My metal Bandsaw is a horizontal swivel type but it can also be used vertically. It's a very handy tool! Thank you!

[@jasongarner6528]

Thanks Scott, I have the basic xyz carve and I have cut my teeth on that, pushingt it beyond its limits doing deep 3d carvings, so I am going to upgrade for something more robust and this is the one, ben from 3dtec is provides solid advice and runs several of these mills. That said, the best bit of kit I have purchased for my hobby shop, the only limit is youself in what you can make. I have Aspire pro and a copy of Artcam 2018 (from aliexpress) so I can learn to make my own stl's, although I have bought most of the ones I use atm, some 1100 models and I do most of my developement in Aspire, its just so easy to use. ps, send me a link if you post what you have made, cheers

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Jason. I found Ben to be of great help when I was looking for a machine and whilst setting up. most of the 3d models I have done I just bought the files from Etsy. I really only use Instagram for posting. All the best.

[@drhender6943]

Congrats! I've been eyeing a CNC for a couple of years, but as a hobbyist, it's tough to justify the cost. Question-- Will your machine handle cutting aluminum? I am considering either a kit build or a from scratch build, but I really want to be able to cut aluminum. Is that feasible with a kit like yours?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! Yes I bought this machine on the basis that it must perform well cutting aluminium. I haven't done so yet but it was designed to be able to do so. I was thinking scratch build myself, but opted for this machine as I am new to cnc and there is a lot to learn so I wanted a proven design. Also the time to design one yourself and build it needs to be factored. Cheers!

[@Ac130killer2]

Hi mate I have a similar one I got second hand the other day , what program are you using to run the CNC and what program are you using to do the degine what you are cutting ?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hi Michael. I use Vetric V Carve pro to design and create the cut files. The CNC controller is the MASSO, I ditched the GRBL a few years back.

[@markstevansen542]

Would I be able to convert this to accept an everlast plasma cutter torch and cnc cut metal with it?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hi Mark, I guess you could do that without to much trouble. Torch height control would be important I'd say. I had thoughts on doing the same actually but I still want something for wood.

[@geoffcooper4476]

Hi. Looks great. I just bought one myself, and was wondering what size you made the table top? I ordered the 1500x1500 version, so was wondering if it would help or hinder to have a little clearance around it?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Geoff! They are a good machine. Make the top 1650 for x and 1500 for Y. Sure you can have more clearance, but you have to be able to reach the middle still.

[@geoffcooper4476]

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious Excellent; thanks Scott for the advice. Any other tips with the bench build? I've designed a relatively simple welded and bolted table, so I can pull it apart later if needed...just wondering if I should incorporate any fancy sliding tool cabinets or drawers or anything?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Yes, more fancy the better :) The bench will need diagonal bracing, well mine does as the cnc gantry is heavy, so when it moves and stops suddenly the table can flex. I need to mod my table. Get it all up and running and enjoy it for a bit. You'll work out what you need in terms of storage after that. All the best.

[@geoffcooper4476]

Hey Scott, How did you find the cnc? Is it still going strong? I am looking to get one and would be interested in any feedback after use. Thanks

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

The Cnc is pretty good for my needs. The issue I found from the kit was the Cnc controller GBRL all in one was under powered. I changed over to the very reliable MASSO controller. I made a video on that upgrade. Hope this helps.

[@TallowView]

So 2 years on from posting this video are you still happy with the machine? I am considering purchasing one myself soon

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Yes very happy with the machine. You might like to see my video on the electronics upgrade I did using the MASSO controller. I think 3DTEK have upgraded the electronics in their package anyhow.

[@adammakesstuff2225]

Scott Turner I had a look at that video also. Was really helpful. Definitely going to go with the masso controller. Do you think the belts are a downside for the machine over one with lead screws?

[@batesdesignandbuild172]

Hi do you know if the kit is available in Canada?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hi, See 3DTEK's response - they ship all over the world.

[@batesdesignandbuild172]

Thanks. What is the eta for stock? Will there be an option to extend the rails and belts to accommodate a full sheet 4 x 8?

[@batesdesignandbuild172]

Whats the best way to get some more information? I don't see many you tube videos and/or reviews. Can you please direct me to the proper links? I sent an email on your website also. Can a newbie to CNC handle this machine, someone in building industry but would be first CNC. Wanting a better machine than a Shapeoko that will grow with me? How do you compare to a stepcraft?

[@oldchev2850]

Hi Scott this is the exact model I was looking to purchase from Ben. I feel I would be ok with the assembly but the wiring/electronics has me a bit rattled. Did you find that part reasonably straight forward? If you were in the Brisbane area I would really appreciate a look at the machine. Cheers, Peter

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hi Peter. Well I was a bit intimidated I have to admit but really now that I've done it, it's quite simple. Ben has a video of setting up the GRBL circuit board which I found very helpful and the wiring diagrams of course I used. I turned it on for the first time and it worked, though I needed to amend some codes for the spindle. If you have done any wiring and have a basic electrical knowledge you should be fine. Ben is very helpful also, which is very important. If you buy any Chinese options off ebay, there will be no support. I am in Townsville but I'm happy to help with photos or what ever. So far I haven't done too much with the cnc but it looks very capable and it is large for a home workshop. I'm very happy with the choice. Sing out if you need help.

[@oldchev2850]

Scott there are three options for the electronics. Just not sure which option I should go for. I don’t really understand what the differences are for each

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Might pay to call Ben or send a message to 3Dtek. Ben will get back to you. At my stage of learning I have no clue as to the differences but my GBRL system seems to be simple and works fine as far as I can tell.

[@oldchev2850]

Thanks for the reply Scott. Yes I’ll definately do that. Just need a reliable, user friendly system.

[@JENNISWISS]

hey hey😊 sooo great.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hi Lukas - Thank you!!

[@jphoffman1]

I can’t fault you one damn bit for embracing this technology, that being said, I’m terribly conflicted. I’ve been so impressed by your abilities to create with your hands that I fear this type of machine will, well, sorta end that. Not completely of course but it’s just another techno bleed into the creative process. Yes you gotta be smart as hell to program those things, and I guess I’m not, but “hand made” just seems to be dying. I guess I’m kind of a throwback, I do get “it” but, don’t you think it takes the spirit out of your build? I’m not a troll, please believe that, my most cherished item is a grandfather clock my passed father made. He hand carved his initials in the finials. I’ll leave it at that.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I know what you mean (and of course you're not at all being a troll). Well I have a great desire to explore many facets of creating and I feely strongly that technology needs to be part of the journey. This machine will force me to think on other levels of creativity. It will tie into some of the projects that I take on but not all. There is also a younger generation of makers, or future makers that need that trigger of inspiration to get them of the couch and into the shop using their brains and hands. I see this as another tool, another option that I can use to help me create. This machine will help me make things I wouldn't other wise attempt. Stay tuned. I hope to show you what I mean in future projects.Thank you so much for your thoughts - really appeciated!

[@42designfab]

Glad to see someone else posted this - but I'll second it. There are LOTS of folks out there who pump out hours and hours of mindless CNC videos. I agree, they're fantastic machines. We have (2) and we use them everyday. The magic of what you do, though... Forme Industrious... is much, much more than this. Not hating on CNC... just suggesting that your pieces are not only beautiful and inspirational, but as Hooper said.... handcrafted. (Sometimes painfully so, judging by the pile of grinding wheel stubs in your bin). I just want to vote in favor of the magic bits. Having said that, enjoy the new machine - in my experience, they are game-changing. I hope you figure out how to improve your game, without losing it! It's special!

[@crystalsoulslayer]

The people who tend to use the CNC for everything are probably of the "CNCs will do it for you!" school of thought. Like, "Sure, there's a simple band saw jig that could cut out this circle faster and with less dust, but the CNC will Do It For Me!" As long as our man here understands they don't, I wouldn't think he'd overuse the thing. CNCs are a great way to avoid doing some kinds of really boring repetitive work, and their ability to reliably reproduce complex shapes opens up a lot of possibilities.

Have you used your heavy mill on aluminium yet?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Not yet Dean, but I've just got some good end mills from Adams Bits so I'm keen to try it soon. Also I've had to work through some PC problems that gave me a bit of grief but I think that is all settled now as the machine has worked flawlessly recently. It's just me being the weakest link ;)

[@deanbateman209]

Happens to the best of us ;) its great to see someone post some video on the heavy mill as there is not much out there, it looks like a machine I'd like to own but routers always get a bad rap when milling aluminium plate, from what I have read selecting the correct grade is half of the battle 6061 is meant to be a good starting point as others can be tough or to soft and gum up your end mills. What sort of projects are you planning to use it for? for myself it would be prototype mechanisms, small furniture pieces and custom motorcycle parts, I work as a CAD designer so happy with that part but I am looking forward to the world of CAM, I wonder how much of a learning curve it is, but look forward to the challenge.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I haven't got any specific projects planned for metals yet. I will do some trial cuts and see how that goes but ultimately I would like to make some furniture projects with it. These machines you can pay some serious money for and of course they can do amazing things. The Heavy Mill was reachable in my budget but it's pretty solid so it should be able to handle a bit of punishment. I'll be learning for some time yet as far as CAM goes. I'm trying to learn Fusion 360 and Vetric V Carve Pro. It's all fascinating. You have CAD experience so CAM should be ok for you. There is a lot of help out there these days.

[@deanbateman209]

There is a lot of information, but in the end, I think it will come down to trial and error, hopefully more trial than error but its all part of learning :) be sure to posts some more updates, I'm subscribed and keen to see what you will make, you have already got some great projects on your channel. The Laminated Leg Stool would make a great addition to my workshop for when I'm welding.
