[@gingergoforth2170]

Very new to my X Carve and can't tell you how much help this was!

[@ManCrafting]

Awesome. Glad it helped.

[@Patricksworkshop]

Pretty sweet setup there. I will gave to check them out. tha ke for sharing

[@ManCrafting]

Patrick's WorkShop thanks Patrick’s. How you doing? Keeping busy with the 3D printing?

[@ManCrafting]

Patrick's WorkShop you have the exact same Dewalt in your Shapeoko right?

[@DCDLaserCNC]

Nice upgrade! I like that crown nut design!

[@ManCrafting]

DCD Laser & CNC it’s really nice being able to get in there and tighten and losses without having to rotate the bit with my other hand.

Wow, I don't know why I have never thought about not having to constantly probe the z-height. I came for the review of the collet, but now all of a sudden I have bits on my shopping list. Also, check your Amazon links in your description. There are 3 copies of the Amana bit set.

[@DBrownCo]

Thank you ! Very cool just getting started with my xxl, I thrive on smarter not harder👍

[@ManCrafting]

Awesome. Congrats. Glad it was useful.

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

Very cool solution and well explained!

Thanks just ordered it for my S3

[@ManCrafting]

I've been meaning to order one more for my MiniMill, or maybe I did. I need to check my emails.

[@MakeTinkerShare]

The collet collars is freaking awesome! Not having to re-set the z height would be great!

[@ManCrafting]

MakeTinkerShare you have no idea how much I like the idea of not having to mess with resetting.

[@MakeTinkerShare]

@@ManCrafting oh I have an idea!!!

[@richardfarwell6759]

Recommend you don't tighten a collet/collett nut without a bit in it; it can distort and damage the collet. I bought a three collet kit for my PC-7518, and it is really nice. I didn't realize the bit collars are fixed in place.

[@ManCrafting]

Richard Farwell good tip. Thanks. I wouldn’t normally, but I wasn’t confident I would film the process without cutting myself. 🤣

[@richardfarwell6759]

@@ManCrafting Understand that -- having reached under the router (with the dust shoe ON so I can't see the bit) and scraped my knuckles -- Doh! At least the router's off. ;-)

[@ManCrafting]

I think we’ve all been there. Router bites from router bits. Dang they are sharp.

[@toddmolloy311]

Its funny I did these stoppers a week ago to my stock bits with drill stops very nice. How is the collet for sliping bits?

[@ManCrafting]

Todd Molloy I haven’t had any slippage. Extremely well made.

6-Points of Locking/UnLocking Points... SWEET SETUP! Do they make buts for Aluminum or Steel, as well as Wood & PVC? What would you recommend for an Automatic/Directional Oiler? I'd like to have an Automated System with filtering... I'd love to have a CNC Machine for Custom Small Engine Parts!🤔 Thank's for sharing! Take care, 🤓 -Thomas Western Washington State

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks for watching. There are definitely some guys that are doing amazing machining with the Shapeoko platform. I'd check out @vince.fab on Instagram for some idea of what all is possible. He's doing lots of custom engine parts. Also, Winston on the Carbide3D channel is doing a lot of aluminum machining. Precision Bits does carry bits for metal. I just took a look at their site and found this. www.precisebits.com/gateways/EndMillsHome.htm

[@RickSwartwood]

Collet Collars? Who knew??? I'm so tired of resetting Z every time. I'm definitely going this route! Thanx Chad!

[@ManCrafting]

Rick game changer for sure. Let me know what you think.

[@TheMuzShop]

Nice improvement Chad. Im going to get a CNC one day and this info will come in handy. Thanks Bro. 👍👍

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks Mike. I can't wait to see what your creative mind comes up with when you finally get a CNC in your shop. I'm sure it will be amazing.

[@TheMuzShop]

@@ManCrafting Thx Bro

[@ManCrafting]

@@TheMuzShop Have you made plans for WBC in 2020?

[@TheMuzShop]

ManCraftingTM not yet but really thinking about going. February right?

Cool stuff Chad! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks Fred. I always appreciate your support. I hope we can get together soon.

[@JohnMadeit]

Do you just use the bigger 1/4 inch bits? Most of my bits are 1/8

[@ManCrafting]

Hey John, I didn't focus on it in the video, but the kit came with 1/8" and 1/4" collets. They also make the bits with the precision collars in the 1/8 size as well.

[@MaltandMake]

Good tip, thanks for sharing!

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks, Doc! I hope all is well.
