Carving A Guitar Body In Real Time Using The X-Carve Pro

[@jeffd4927]

I like that pencil mark index / lining up method I've never seen that one before. I am use to working on old CNC machine without all the fancy probes / bells and whistles!

Thx for router's settings!

A touch off probe would give you 100% dead centre every time. Especially useful after the flip. No lining up required.

I use one for the Z-axis.

[@spidey4fun]

@@HighlineGuitars What software? I'm using Mach3.

[@HighlineGuitars]

@@spidey4fun GRBL. A custom version.

Carving out a guitar body under two hours can increase production. For the investment you put in the X Carve Pro you will make it back up in no time. The X Carve Pro will pay for itself.

12 guitar bodies in 24 hours 🤑 💰 I am imagining thr many different types of exotic woods one can use. For a guitar body. Omg! The entire guitar 🎸= 1 piece of wood. No neck joins. I piece from headg to tail Has anyone tried this?

Chris about how long, start to finish, would you say it takes you to build a guitar? Like your best ones with 2k water based poly and everything

[@HighlineGuitars]

About a month. Depending on my workload.

[@lrvogt1257]

What cad software was used to design the guitar?

[@HighlineGuitars]

I use Adobe Illustrator and Rhino 3D.

Judging from your ShopVac time, the vac system on this CNC isn't very strong? Curious. I have this same CNC in the mail. Or maybe just the deep cuts are harder to get to?

[@HighlineGuitars]

This will be addressed in a future video. Stay tuned!

[@OverlandTrailer]

@@HighlineGuitars I am. My machine comes today - same one. Thanks for answering this from your experience!

[@HighlineGuitars]

@@OverlandTrailer I just subbed to your channel. I would love a teardrop trailer!

[@OverlandTrailer]

​@@HighlineGuitars I'm here to help with all the teardrop stuff. And I want to cut a guitar! ha ha

Would you share the file so i can buy it ?

[@homemovies751]

Yeah, I'm sure he would, maybe $50K, $100K???

[@HighlineGuitars]

If you're dumb enough to pay...

[@gordonlewellen4423]

So you won't share the file?

[@HighlineGuitars]

@@gordonlewellen4423 Nope. You have to make your own files.
