5x10 ft CNC Set Up: Dust Collection, Spoilboard & Workholding Clamps

[@jeffreyrucker78]

I have been watching your info videos off and on for couple weeks. You have come a long way. The information you and many others have shared about the SawStop has been useful for me to purchase one for my wife and I to use for projects both now and our nearing retirement. Thank you for giving us the womens view on the product. The CNC is impressive. We wish you and yours lots of fun with that toy.

[@RustyCas999]

Congrats on your great setup! Your videos are stellar. You don’t waste our time, great flow, easy-going and charming presentation, very smart and helpful ideas, great editing. You are the complete package and are very deserving of your hard-earned success.

[@darbinorvar]

I appreciate that!

Congratulations on your new massive Avid CNC! I've had a 2'x4' Avid CNC with their spindle for 4.5 years now and have been very pleased with it. Once I learned VCarve Pro and Mach3 from the "ground up".....I've made countless projects for myself and others. As with any framework held together with machine screws and bolts, it's important to go around and check them for tightness once or twice a year. The angle braces are more likely to loosen than the frame itself, but I check every single fastener when I do the check. When you start doing Vcarve inlays, there are some very good videos out there to help you understand the process, both design and cut. Congratulations again and I look forward to your future projects. Also, hang in there as the Richmond/East coast humidity will begin to become more tolerable as we move into the fall!

[@darbinorvar]

The humidity is horrible, but at least it is almost over, Thanks!

I've started building my 4×8 pro it has been a pleasure putting it together working on the gantry now I don't get but bout a hour a day to work so it slow but it is so well made !! Can't wait to run it !!

[@owenmorse3136]

Hi , yes its important to have good air suction to keep dust away from cutting blades and its good to see you getting the full use out of the machine , the cnc machine has cut down the work time on something like your table by two days if you were using standard tools , nice to see you looking fit and healthy Linn ..

[@cassvirgillo3395]

Hello Linn & Family, Very impressive setup. Really liking the content and subject matter, your channel is a pleasure to watch. 0.050" or Fifty Thousands of an inch, 1000 divisions per inch. Being one, that's Machinist picky, 10,000th per inch is even worse. Feeling like fall, but, with some last of Summer temps reaching almost 100 degrees, it never lasts for long. Peace & Happiness from Oregon, C.

[@bobd5119]

Thanks, Linn! Very useful video. Now I know there is such a thing as composite nails.

[@bobkeller8383]

You are stunning. Absolutely beautiful. And very smart and talented!

[@constantinosschinas4503]

for the L shapes, you could also mill a small step (2mm height, 15mm deep) in the inner side. this way, you could easily re-mill a bit of the L each time you mount it, to ensure it is square. this is sometimes necessary for precision, unless you use positioning pins.

[@HammyTechnoid]

It's so hard to keep an area dust free... there's always some dust.. no matter how hard you try.... your set up looks stellar.

[@NiHaoMike64]

If weather allows, opening the garage door when the machine is in use will help a lot with the dust. Or build an enclosure to contain the dust, like how higher end CNCs often are.

[@javiermorton7170]

Hello Darbin, I hope your doing well. Thank you for your videos all very well made and enjoyable. If you wanted some feedback (??) Your tools and work space make your processes irrelevant to me although your finish products look great. I understand we all must grow. Best wishes!!!!

[@thehamlinwoodshop]

Looking forward to seeing your cnc projects Linn. Thanks for the video!

[@eustache_dauger]

Would be nice to make a woodworking version of the minimalist street map using the CNC machine, either as wall decorations or even coffee table, and have the streets inlaid with molten metal. 🤔😎

[@truth6027]

Excellent video thanks for posting. Could you tell us what size screws did you use to secure the t-tracks? Thanks

[@friendsonearth]

Nice setup you and your friend, I like the T-track to hand your dust collector, just make sure have enough space to move 360 in space. if in the future, more money invest on vacuum bed. it helps the headache secure the pieces

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty interesting setup, Linn! 😃 Looking forward to see what you're going to make with it! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@darbinorvar]

Thank you! 🙂

I have a Long Mill CNC Router so I was thinking of putting a vacuum bed to hold down the material to the bed.

Hello, I just found your site. My Avid Pro 5' x 10' arrived today. Month early so not ready to set it up just yet but the research starts now. Where can I find links to the plans you offer so I can see if I want to buy as a non member of join your feed?

[@darbinorvar]

Here's my website address where you can take a look at my plans. www.darbinorvar.com/

[@baburambhatta991]

I watched this video. Nice. I want a topo map carving of whole Nepal in 5 ft X 10 ft size. Is it possible in your workshop? Can you carve in plastic board?

[@constantinosschinas4503]

for the inserts, through holes and inserts from bottom is a better choice. tearouts from strong holding will vanish. mind the aluminum frame though, as not to drill it by mistake.

[@rinyuli_dori293]

wow..congrats on your awesome setup!

[@darbinorvar]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AB-nu5we]

Thanks for the tour. That's a great looking rig. Curious why you used an upcut bit on softer material like MDF. I realized it clears dust better, but those ragged edges and possible worse tearout.

[@hacklabdesign]

Oh the possibilities! thankyou for the dream.

[@Wildevis]

Wow what an amazing machine and setup, not that I understood half of it lol

[@SurfacePatterns]

I'm curious; How well does the Rockler Dust Right collector work with this machine? I'm considering the 5'x5' version of this CNC router, and have been researching my options (here I am!), and I already own this exact dust collector. I just worry that it might be a bit under powered for a machine that can run as fast as these AVID machines.

[@oscarb.morales5906]

Thanks again for the great presentation!

[@scottvincent5291]

Lyn we’re are you from, and what would it cost to buy the machine, I noticed tours the legs are bigger than on there web cite, I like to see more women in engineering ,you are a inspiration for more to pursue design and engineering excellent job on your channel, I’m going to recommend your channel to all my students

[@nixman98]

Nice video, thank you, I do have a question, aren't you worried about hitting the aluminum T tracks when you cut through your work.

[@karthiyozo20]

Where is Work bench part -02 video.. You forget that video making .. I enjoyed your all videos.. My name is karthik from India. I repeatedly watching your all videos... Thank you for making awsome vid. linn :)

[@TheErastus]

Are your T-tracks holding up under normal use?

[@Poisonous392]

Great video Linn, as always. My Avid is showing up soon. I wondered if your were still happy with the Rockler dust collector as I am still undecided as to what to purchase. Thanks

[@darbinorvar]

I think the rockler has been a great choice, but I use it as a dedicated unit for the CNC. Obviously if you heavily use other tools you need to consider that.

[@andrewdepalma3615]

Hi Darbin, loved this video. Thank you! Curious on how you avoid hitting the t tracks but cut out your parts completely? Are they just slightly recessed? Thinking about getting a 5 x 10 avid CNC and hold down solutions have been something I have been thinking about. Thank you!

[@darbinorvar]

Thanks Andrew! I have the tracks recessed about 0.15" but they are aluminum and I've already hit them. The bits just go right through it since it is pretty soft.

[@yakupsafakc1517]

i have seen until today ,the most beautiful woman using cnc :)

[@CharlesYarnold]

I find with my workbee cnc I have to take a fair chunk out of my spoil board as my sheet goods aren't the best for uniform thickness. I love the idea of rails, but are you worried about hitting them with the bit? How have you found the rails vs depth you can go into your spoil board?

[@darbinorvar]

I agree that the sheets goods, mdf and plywood are not uniformly thick and it can be an issue. In terms of the tracks, I have them sitting about a 1/16" (~2mm) underneather the mdf, but I have hit them with the bit. On my machine the bit just goes right through it as if it wasn't there as it is pretty thin aluminum.

[@CharlesYarnold]

@@darbinorvar ooh, interesting. Thanks! I've been planning to get the 8by4 avid, but seeing your 10by5 has changed my mind. Thanks for the video 👍

Hi. What does the whole machine cost?

[@CutitwithaHammer]

Question: what's the height of the top of the bed from the floor?

[@firerescue3214]

My local plywood distributor sells 5x12 ¾” MDF. Ask around, I bet you can find some

nice video, my your old intro before the video starts, posted comment on your gazebo project video, dont know if you seen it but, or you are to busy to see it. i hope i get a reply for my question

[@EngineerMikeF]

1. For your fastener held pieces, instead of a screwdriver type tool for the fasteners, you should try an old style "speed wrench" which emulates an old brace & bit, very fast, no wrist fatigue 2. Can't wait for the new bench vid, VERY interested in that one 3. I'd suggest some inexpensive ambient dust control, couple of 20x20 box fans w/filters

[@coryparsons1533]

Nice job but far to much over kill on the spoil board in cost and time. 3/4 mdf counter set and secure to aluminium t-slot. Then mill slots in mdf so one can use t-slots for hold downs all so. 1"" or 2" flattening bit to straighten spoil board and done 1/4 the cost and 1/3 the time i would. But l would like to say your workmanship is impressive
