I was trying to figure out how this thing works also, and this is the only video I've found. Thanks I think someone mentioned the setup in the CAD software - that would definitely be helpful!

Craig. Great video. What cnc machine would you recommend for a beginner trying to cut foam board with this set up at home?
@craigsmachineshop20404 жыл бұрын
If you are just cutting foam board then you can probably just get an inexpensive cnc router. Not really familiar with all the cnc routers out there. You can probably just look on Ebay or Amazon.

I am struggling to see where the price comes from. A decent router costs less. I thought Festool had ridiculous prices, but this caps it.
@craigsmachineshop20404 жыл бұрын
Mine has cut probably over 10K gaskets, so it has paid for itself many times over.

I am using sheetcam with the dragknife plugin. Not sire if there is a free option. Cool on making one!

Thanks for a great video. What specs CNC would u recommend for this knife? My wife make Headstalls and leather goods for horses. She would be cutting a maximum of 3/8" leather.
@craigsmachineshop20403 жыл бұрын
Thanks! A decent CNC router I would guess. Not sure of all the models. You should check with Donek about the thickness. Might need multiple passes at that thickness.

CNC lathe plus CNC router - that would make one of these with almost no manual intervention. I know because I have both, and churned out a lot of bushings
