I took Solid works courses at my local community college it was an excellent experience!

[@enlightendbel]

3-phase power isn't standard in the US or where you live? Or did you mean you made a 3-phase outlet in your workshop? If the first, 3-phase is standard in every electrical hookup here. Most high power appliances like cooking stoves run of it and the 3 phases are used independently to power separate lines inside a home to spread load too.

[@madisonlamis2639]

@@enlightendbel not in the US my friend. 3 phase is only found in industrial/commercial zones for large equipment. may I ask where you are?

[@enlightendbel]

@@madisonlamis2639 Belgium. Interesting it isn't common in the US.

[@smartereveryday]

Dude... Cutting a pipe via CNC with a torch is the stuff of dreams.... and you built this? NUTS.

[@zachary3352]

Great to see you here Destin!

[@vennic]

It's about time you showed up!

[@patsox2004]

Do I sense a collaboration in the near future???

[@tekneiq]

So cool to see my heros checking in on my heros :)

[@pforce9]

The Destin connection. This is a good omen. Subscribed.

[@PracticalEngineeringChannel]

Pretty sure I was sitting at that same table ;) Awesome project! Looking forward to the series.

[@Jeremy_Fielding]

Yes... you were indeed. That is just awesome.

[@justinmaynard890]

Collab!!!

[@heartbreakandmotorjive1867]

This is amazing Jeremy! As an engineer who draws in CAD, creates programs, operates waterjets, and regularly fixes and maintains them, I have the upmost respect for anyone who builds any sort of CNC device from scratch. Even installing a new machine can be a massive task. I like to think of myself as a fairly intelligent person, but I'm always blown away by your brilliance and how articulate you are. Bravo!

[@tonysolar284]

I built one out of used dvd drives and a floppy drive. It'll fit on a desk.

[@hudzgh]

HMJ it delights me to no end to read your comments! I agree exactly!

[@aznative_]

Shout out to SolidWorks they obviously knew you were someone worth investing in. Hopefully they sponsor many more projects of yours in the future.

[@imabeapirate]

I can only imagine SolidWorks is feeling the heat from Fusion 360 taking all of their customers. And considering the solidworks pricing, it's no surprise they're looking to get some of that user base back.

[@mikeburch2998]

@@imabeapirate Yeah, I looked over the solidworks product a few years ago and it was way out of my price league. It's very cool however.

[@Miata822]

I started using SolidWorks years ago in my small startup design and manufacturing business. I ended up with a room full of engineers, each with their own SW license, by the time I sold my business last year. I can honestly say I never could have had the level of success I did without SolidWorks, their support, and training. After six months of sitting on my behind watching KZbin I'm starting to get ideas again. I think it's almost time to get a fresh license and start the process all over again. Your shop is looking great by the way.

[@jettramel]

Bill if you don't mind, what type of things were you designing in your first business. This is so new to me & above my head, wanted to do some guitar designs but the coding above my head.

[@Miata822]

​@@jettramel We made assemblies for industrial vehicles using sheet metal, mechanical, and thermoformed plastic. SW was ideal for collaboration with customers and suppliers. I never had to touch G-code myself. I found the SW user interface to be quite intuitive.

[@sebastiannicolich6432]

That's the true face of joy right there. You are the type of person that makes me love KZbin. Looking foward to the next videos.

[@f.k.burnham8491]

I am gobsmacked at this project. A HUGE tip of my hat to Solid Works for sponsoring you. I look forward to more on this project.

[@hgbugalou]

Holy shit man, you took it to the next level exponentially. You are going to sky rocket in subs with this. Honestly speaking this is top tier geekery on you tube. Can't wait to see more.

[@crazystuffproduction]

yup!

[@danmarks6803]

Jeremy Fielding mate you are a legend. Throughout my career, I've been watching KZbin clips and I can say you are by far the best and easiest educator to watch in the engineer side of things. I wish I was in your shoes and had the time and money to do everyone of your videos. I have started back down the rabbit hole now I'm back in engineering full time and hope to get a few of these project done. Thank again for the great videos and the time and effort you put into it.

[@steelshade]

This absolutely one of the coolest things I have seen, and not just on KZbin. And it's a guy in his garage. Outstanding!

[@71jmead]

Just found your channel last night. Was watching the progression from treadmill and washing machine motors and then this. I was like "holy crap, that's amazing". Love to have a tool like that to build with. Such a smart guy and love the way you present and put these videos together. Subscribed and hit the bell. Looking forward to watching more from you. Glad to see you got such an awesome sponsor.

[@korishan]

First 40 seconds: Jeremey's reaction "This is officially the coolest thing I've made. Look at that! UNH!!!" (great big grin on his face) This calls for an "immediate" thumbs up!! 👍😎😁

[@mass4552]

The amount of work that this project involved must have been daunting. Kudos to you and SolidWorks for doing this for us and rewarding you for your hard work.

[@andresengineering2169]

Amazing Mr. Fielding! I teach SW in my mechatronics class. We program CNC mill/router/plasma/4thaxis/laser but BUILDING one is a dream. I'll show my high schoolers while we work on their CSWA.

[@mpuck972]

Tell all your students good luck on their CSWA from all of us on the SOLIDWORKS Certification Team!

[@richardclark8520]

Solid works made a brilliant move. Your inquisitive mind and ingenuity is pure gold.

[@joshuas1767]

My man! I sub to a lot of channels, ranging from woodworking, forging/knife making, CNC, chemistry.. just tons of subjects. The DIY type stuff just goes with my hobbies, and work (industrial maintenance). I’ve learned a lot from you, so I was so thrilled to see this. You are one of the few you tubers I watch that I really believe needed some sort of break to push their content. The sponsorship is a blessing for you and all your viewers. I really look forward to see where you go from here. It’s kind of weird how excited I am, for another guy, on the other side of my iPad.

[@vesslewiththepesstle]

I have been subscribed to you for a long time Jeremy, learned a lot from you and always enjoyed you grabbing treadmills and washers from the side of the road and this one of my favourite videos of yours, you can feel the excitement you are experiencing, it is infectious and hats off to Racheal and Solidworks for identifying the motives for your vids and suporting education, often times youtubers are tool/equipment collectors posing as makers/educators, you are the real deal and solid works was smart enough to know the difference, well done SW

[@dracophyle]

I cant believe you kept this a secret... I saw the tour you gave of your new shop. You said you were excited, but.... sir, you must give a master's lesson in poker! I have chills just thinking about getting a call like that. Well done!!

[@mpuck972]

We're happy to have you as a SOLIDWORKS customer, and look forward to seeing the rest of the build videos!

[@KarlBunker]

Whoa. This is beyond cool. I'm super looking forward to your videos about this project.

[@thewyomingwave2032]

Oh man! Haven't checked in on the channel in a long time (tiny shop, space saving days). The resources are really helping that vision come through. So stoked for all you're doing and what's to come. Thanks!

[@blakeanderson2889]

You are a man's man brother. You have a big heart for others and It seems pretty obvious and I appreciate that. Stay humble and do what you do! God bless you Jeremy.

[@Demjinx]

Jeremy, I love your content man. Congrats on the sponsorship, and the CNC build. You're an inspiration (because of you I have a room filling up with random motors I have found). Whenever I start thinking I have bitten off more than I can chew with a project, I see what you have achieved and it recharges my batteries. I would love to see in depth Solid Works tutorials from you that are live creations of simple solutions, that dive into the "why" of design. Most CAD tutorials are specific in the features they are teaching, rather than focusing on methodology, thought process, considerations, etc... for actually designing something. I feel like your down to earth way of explaining things would make for really interesting instructional design videos. Thanks for the great content.

[@avgFloridian]

You're an absolute madman. Don't ever change.

[@lloyd4768]

Do you know how many people are going to be soooo jealous when they see your new toy!!! Man I can't wait to see what that can do!!

[@jonahbrame7874]

As a CNC programming student that has a soft spot for Solidworks, I am really looking forward to this series. I watched your electric motors videos a while back, and started casually following you. Ever since you dropped that picture of G code on Instagram I have been eagerly awaiting this video.

[@TeddSpeck]

I literally stood up in my living room and applauded you Jeremy. I am so excited. And certainly thanks to SolidWorks.

[@wesleyflowers2924]

Couldn't have happened to a better dude. Happy for you and appreciate the break downs you do for us.

[@andrewjameslyon]

I just acquired a massive office printer for free via Facebook marketplace. I plan on salvaging the motors, and using them to make a small CNC. I'm really looking forward to this series! Your channel is one of the best educational resources I've found online!

[@billdrennon277]

Awesome work Jeremy! I'm a machinist (old school) going on 40 years now.This is great stuff to watch! You are the future! Keep up the great work!

[@ryano1361]

This is thing is awesome, a real showcase of all the skills and passion that make you an inspirational maker. At this rate, with your talent and ingenuity, you’ll be running a R&D consultancy in a few years.

[@drubradley8821]

WELL DONE, Mr. Fielding !!!!!!!! SolidWorks, is one of about 4 top cad software platforms, while not forgetting, SolidWorks has been involved in our live helping us make a better world, and do it faster with less stress.... of course, once past the learning curve, which to be expected, but not to believe it will overwhelm a person.... Congrats !!!!!

[@struthiomimus21]

I’m really glad to see your channel get the recognition and sponsorship that is well deserved. Congrats!

[@roberthornwoodturner]

Why anyone would give you a thumbs down is beyond comprehension. Congratulations on the sponsorship. You more than deserve it.

[@danl.4743]

0:30 This my friends is the coolest thing I've ever made. Proceeds to NOT showing it to us. Priceless. Fantastic build. Your enthusiasm is well earned. Cheers!

[@landrec2]

Man I'm so glad you're finding success with your channel, I think its awesome! You're a good teacher, I like how you recycle and re-use old equipment too. Cheers!

[@barrymayson2492]

Never seen you so enthusiastic ! Really looks like a great video series will be watching. No doubt I will get some tips and ideas . To big for my workshop but always a pleasure to watch you and congratulations on your sponsorship I just amazed it took so long for one to pick up on you.

[@harveyboulanger2896]

Congratulations on your sponsor. You deserve it. I am always entertained and impressed by you builds and content.

[@gabrielfunvake7693]

Crazy awe-inspiring! You are the real deal man. Thanks to Solidworks for the sponsorship - now you have convinced me to give them another look!

[@Sharklops]

This is AWESOME. So excited for you.. can only imagine how cool that must have been to have Solidworks reach out like that. And you totally deserve it.. it's great to see more and more people discover how cool your channel is. Can't wait for the rest of this project and more to come in the future!

[@joshyingling]

Bro last time I saw you, you were showing how to remove motors from washing machines, now you have built a CNC!!!! Awesome man

[@blackbirdpie217]

I just ran across one of your videos, "things you can make with a washing machine" and had to subscribe because you're amazing. Can't wait to see more.

[@bafa_tents_services]

Brother Jeremy love what you have done. I have been working on a similar project for the last ten months, but it's not yet finished. This has encouraged me to keep moving forward. You've made it. I love it.

[@mikemoore6001]

Just found your channel. I have been using Solidworks since 2011. I love it. I, too, have my own license at home. I draw everything first. Bathroom Remodel, Radio Control Parts, Drone Parts and have even designed my own CNC Router. It is almost complete. A couple more weeks and I will be cutting my own parts. Woo Hoo. Anyway, thanks for the info and keep it coming.

[@ManCrafting]

Congrats on the new job. I knew you moved but somehow missed it was for work. This CNC is sick. I have a Plasma CNC and 2 router based CNC’s, but this is next level. Does the plasma have torch height control? I wasn’t looking close enough to tell. But having a 4th access is insane. Now you need some welding and Powdercoating equipment. Your quickly outgrowing your shop. 🤣

[@Jeremy_Fielding]

Yes it has THC

[@rezadaneshi]

Anyone who's made a million jigs will have to respect you for this. Beware of what you'll become at 70 years old like in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I Loved your enthusiasm mixed with the confidence that there is no way you can oversell this IPhone of CNCs. You should call it QNC for Quantum. Not because of the processor but because it does A to Z. I Loved this show.100(y)s. Very Excellent job.

[@simonyoung4722]

Jeremy it’s always a pleasure to check out your videos, great to see you getting support from solidworks too. Can’t wait to see the rest.

[@retiredtom1654]

I'm impressed to watch a young man designing and building a machine of this caliber. I wish you all the best.

[@NordicKölsch]

Speechless! I'm a machinist, and you have blown my mind. Wow

[@johnshotwell2932]

Jeremy, I've enjoyed your videos for years. Congratulations on the new sponsor. I'm very pleased with the CNC project. Looking forward to the series!

[@ezdankie]

So that's what you've been up to! Awesome! I'm really excited about the build series, especially how you rolled your own rotary phase converter which I'm in the process of now.

[@MrManta2012]

you have come a long way. hope it continues. hey Solid works we want to see more.

[@uberintj]

I'm VERY interested in this build. I've been designing/planning a build very similar to this (multi-function CNC) that I plan to start once my shop addition is complete this fall. Congrats on the great sponsorship from SolidWorks. Can't wait to gobble up all of your usual juicy details.

[@rjamsbury1]

Congratulations on the sponsorship, and credit to SolidWorks for seeing your ability. You so deserve the boost - your content is awesome. I can't wait to see more.

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

Congratulations on the sponsorship and an amazing project. It's great that you're recognized for your efforts. I typically feel that combo tools are a tool that gets to do everything poorly, but, they're a reality of a small home shop with a non-production-level budget. Everything wood is bad for everything metal, everything metal is bad for everything wood. Etc. And it's true, if you're churning out a product line. But it looks like you've minimized the annoyances and built a 95% solution that's going to need a little maintenance but otherwise can do the job.

[@MaxGoddur]

I knew were sharp but after watching this video you upped your game and now I see nothing but brilliance. Great videos and the content is also fun to watch.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Awesome Jeremy. I love CNC machines, I have a couple of table top machines and my first side job in my own small business was upgrading the controls for a burn (plasma) table at Augusta Iron and Steel over by Putt-Putt. Keep up the good work!

[@thosoz3431]

Wow man, you have come such a long way. You are such an inspiration. May many more good things come your way.

[@tedmerrick935]

Congrats on the sponsorship. Your channel is great and looking forward to the rest of the series

[@MikeysLab]

Man, you are awesome. I am actually in the design phase of a mill/laser/drag knife machine myself, significantly smaller form factor, targeting 1000x600 mm. Thank you for your content man.

[@carbonfe]

This may be the coolest thing I've EVER seen on youtube. Well done!!

[@winkworkshop]

This project has me so excited! That rotary plasma cutter is something I never even realized was possible. Love the channel, looking forward to the series!

[@sethbracken]

[@JointerMark]

Congratulations on the Solidworks sponsorship! I will certainly be watching this series very closely.

[@practicemakesbetter7132]

Great video and great project. I would like to suggest that you add a home position switch on your fence rail and a home button feature in your menu. This will position your fence automatically, eliminating having to re-calibrate the fence distance from the blade after you move your fence manually. It is an awesome project congratulations.

[@reh3dzone]

This is going to be the best #HOWTODIY series on yt! looking forward to it!

[@MLFranklin]

It's always super fun watching your videos. This is so cool. And SolidWorks made a genius move to sponsor you. They can really give F360 a run for their money.

[@vennic]

Jeremy, it just hit me in this intro the full gravity of this diy endeavour. But at this point I shouldn't be surprised that you continue to surprise

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

You are having fun! Nice project, to be subtle. I ran water jets and abrasive jets (water jet with garnet mixed in) for 4 years or so.

[@nickvantwillert1]

As a sw engineer i realy love that the dassauld systems company sponsers a channel like this! I hope i see them more sponsering on my timeline

[@wafflebeaver]

What an interesting build. Solid works, please give this guy all the resources he needs.

[@markreardon3472]

Very nice work. Not just on the construction but shopping around and finding the best buy for your money. This is truly the "Ultimate CnC cutting and carving machine.

[@kingavegarage8722]

Great job on the table and news on the sponsor. Cant wait to see whats in store.

[@boltonky]

I am only a few mins in a from your first videos to this to me is just the culmination of a good know how and a passion...kinda expected it to be made from re-used parts (but new is good) A frame and the basics is easy but getting it all to work and the cost is the hard thing Keep it up :) and giggled each time machine moved...reminded me of a robot i arm that used to make my toast in morning, it would randomly move to re-calibrate (designed to be scaled up to human arm size to pick up engines) but i brought a motorbike instead of making it (dreams)

[@wgenerotzky]

It seems that Solidworks is just the thing I’m looking for.😁 I love your channel, I found it just as I’m getting back into really building things and with Solidworks I’ll be able to do the impossible and save enough time using it to actually get things done.👍👍

[@kenseastrand7428]

One thing comes to mind, is the torch head height control, the research I have have done it seem like the most complicated part, (it is all pretty complicated LOL) it just looked to me like the only problem you had with the pipe was the thc. I will be on the lookout for future vids from you about how you made it all work. but it looks like with some fine tuning you have an awesome machine dude!

[@gFeeley]

Dude you are awesome and proof that you can do anything you put your mind to.

[@Capt-Hand]

Dude!!! ... Speechless! Sooo awesome man! Congrats on that undertaking...

[@pawpawpascal1524]

I am excited to see that you are making this using used parts, kinda nice to see for makers or start ups. Im stoked for the new vids

[@MichaelJeffers75]

That is BADASS man! Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to check out the build and electronics! I built an MPCNC and want to build a Lowrider2 ASAP, but am thinking to use metal instead of wood so I can use plasma. I never even knew about the 4th rotary axis until this vid, but now I am hooked!

[@robertstewart-taylor4913]

Jeremy, You are amazing, thank you for sharing your passions with the world.

[@trackie1957]

Jeremy, so happy to learn Solidworks decided to support your work! I’ve been retired for a while now, and I really miss being able to use Solidworks. It would be great if they would offer it in a ‘retiree ‘ package that would be affordable for people who wouldn’t be using it to make money. Keep up the good work!

[@grateful4068]

First of all, wow. On another account, I've followed your channel from seeing you in what looked like a tiny shed surrounded by tools on flip top carts and vacuum cleaner motors. Now, holy crap, you're building your own industrial-sized CNC and you mounted a freaking plasma torch on it, and managed to get the precision solid enough to cut a logo into a pipe. That not amazing, it's astonishing, to me, anyway. Just wow.

[@weissbornjr]

I gave this a thumbs up even before starting the video--I knew it was going to be that good.

[@Ashoud_Anobetah]

Just wow man wow....from motor theory explanations to diy CNC .. impressive is an understatement...keep up the awesome content
