CNC Basecamp Ep006: Metal Inlays

[@Silverturky]

for holding down you could also use the painters tape method! stick painters tape onto your spoil board, stick painters tape underneath your metal workpiece, then add super glue in between the 2. it dries very fast, provides a very strong bond and is as easy as just removing the tape when you are done. no water necessary! I have recently discovered your channel and I am loving the CNC content being a cnc owner myself. I also must say that the way your articulate the process is among the best I've seen on youtube thus far.

3m Super 77 spray adhesive works pretty well for a quick hold down. Great video!

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

Thanks for the tip!

[@kevinwillis6707]

always pleased to come across a woodwork channel on youtube, especially on CNC, thanks for the episodes, very helpful!

[@elliotsavitzky]

At 16:40 in the transcript, you mentioned that you would get back to letting us know a good way to finish up the copper in the lid. I did not see that followed up later in the video. Can you let us know how you cleaned up the copper?

[@CliftonWood]

Thank you for the instruction!

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

You're welcome!

[@conormcmenemie5126]

Another very useful heads-up on spring cleaning and domestic chores. Fore-warned is fore-armed.

[@joewelling3278]

Very interesting concept, Where did you get the collet for the smaller bits ?

[@gizmobowen]

If you want to make your aluminum rails shine, you can use some mag and aluminum polish. Probably won't make it work much better, but it sure will make the rails pretty.

[@Silverturky]

also! Where did you get the aftermarket chucks for the router?! I'd love to get some for my dewalt DW618

[@Core3DTech]

I know, two people already asked but maybe 3rd time is a charm, I googled precision chuck for router and nothing came up. Where do you get these?

[@Christian-tj5hz]

Where did you get the aftermarket collet/chuck? I have a Makita router (RT0700) on my CNC, which is similar to your Dewalt. Anyone else got any tips on this point - I want to move away from the stock Makita solution.

[@markroles7304]

Maybe I missed it in your great video, but what size difference is the pocket of the wood inlay compared to the size of the size of the metal?

[@daleromney6062]

This was really good, exactly what I was looking for. My questions are: 1) where did you purchase that round over bit? 2) What is a good source for the metal sheets?

[@rubenreynaga1572]

great info. question did you cut inlays in one pass or two passes ?

[@p8ntblr1]

Wouldn't a downcut bit yield cleaner results?

[@neobikes]

11:00 a mistake! CA is rapidly reacting with organic especially celulose, one should apply it to metal side and try to perfectly and fast press it into wood.

[@RodneyBrumley]

Good stuff, thanks for the video. Where can I buy the collet you are using?

[@spuddiver]

Thanks for the video, very informative and well put together. Just wondering for those of us wanting to buy same collect you show in this video. Where did you buy yours from or perhaps give a part number so can search for suppliers here in Europe. Thanks

[@pieroserrano]

i will travel to take a one hour class if you have the time. ill retribuye your time please

CNC is not woodworking. Don't understand why "Woodshop" is so gung ho on CNC. CNC certainly has a position in my shop, but it isn't woodworking. Woodworking starts with raw materials, uses creativity, design, and joinery to "work" it, then moves on to sanding, finishing, and stepping back to feel proud of what you have done with your hands. CNC fits in there where???

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

All of those steps occur in the projects that Chris is showing in these episodes. I'll do whatever it takes to get folks excited about making things with wood and expressing their creativity. Different strokes for different folks.

[@daleromney6062]

I disagree. And I usually start with raw materials and use a combination of tools along with my CNC.

[@toddholm408]

Then don’t watch CNC videos dude. Using your definition the only people who are woodworkers are people who cut down trees (true raw material) mill it, and dry it. Then, apparently without tools of any kind because you never mention the use of any kind of tool, design and shape an original, creative object using only naturally occurring (raw materials) stains and finishes (walnut oil and bacon grease). I get that some people prefer woodworking with hand tools or even limited power tools. Old school carvers have amazing skills in my book, but that doesn’t take anything away from what he is showing us. Hobbyists enjoy making things and we like to give them as gifts. Not everyone has spent a lifetime honing skills, that doesn’t make them less than. This is a different way of working with wood. If it’s not your way, okay, KZbin is full of non-CNC woodworking videos watch and enjoy them. Don’t diminish what others are doing just because it isn’t the way you do it. If a parent cooks for a family and makes them spaghetti and meatballs using premade sauce and boils up spaghetti noodle from a box do you say that isn’t cooking because they didn’t make the sauce and the noodles from scratch? Come on brother, do your thing and let the rest of us do our thing.

[@montanaflyer1147]

@@toddholm408 good points. I agree, I’m an old schooler, and enjoy getting my hands dirty. Others may enjoy watching automation do it for them. Who am I to criticize.

[@orbit308]

Nobody said you had to use one. To each his own. Your opinion might mean something to you, but less than nothing to others who probably enjoyed this video.
