How I made a catch all tray using Easel cnc software... it's beyond easy!

[@luthiferbuilds]

Those are really cool!

[@JBirdCustoms]

Way to simple to make but a lot of fun! Thanks man!

[@JOATology]

Where is the internal engraving that is shown in the thumbnail?

[@JBirdCustoms]

That's a business card not an engraving... but I can make another video showing how to do that if you want one!

[@JOATology]

@JBirdCustoms Sorry. It looked like an engraving. Trying to get Easel to do a tray with a raised engraving on the bottom.

@JOATology kzbin.info/www/bejne/joq5aYGhf8ajo5osi=Q3bFncEiKp--smMZ check out this video from two moose designs! They do a great job of explaining it as well! I have done a few projects like this and use the same method.

[@JOATology]

@JBirdCustoms Thanks bud!

[@ChrisFranklyn]

That's lovely. The world needs home-based robot sanders though!

[@JBirdCustoms]

I sanded it more than what I showed using my orbital and my drill press to sand the bottom but didn't really show the entire sanding process as sanding can be boring but you know that haha

[@shawnkasten]

Nice!

[@roberthollis1390]

Nice and simple. What bit are you using

[@JBirdCustoms]

Honestly that was just a cheap ryobi bit from home depot... nothing fancy but works great

[@roberthollis1390]

Was it a 1/4” or 1/8” down cut. What did you utilize ze to surface the top prior to cutting circle. Nice work btw

[@JBirdCustoms]

I used a 5/8th straight bit for both

[@MrBAchompBAchomp]

Are you eye balling the center of the work piece when you design the gcode set on zero, zero and the image is only showing the upper right hand corner (say 12 to 3 o clock)

[@JBirdCustoms]

So using the material I had I was able to kind of plot out and measure what size tray I could fit on it. Once I knew that with easel when you design it gives you only square stock but knowing what size you can cut you make the 0,0 home the center of the circle you will cut. So I knew 6 inches is what was going to cut so I basically drew a 6 inch circle on the material and figured if that drawn circle will fit the cut will fit then start the carve and the center of that circle. If that makes sense...

[@JBirdCustoms]

So with easel the image only showing the upper right hand is only because easel designs from the bottom left as 0,0 for home. So if you highlight everything and set the 0,0 for the center of the design and press simulate you will see where it cuts even though the material on the easel screen isn't there...

@@JBirdCustoms thanks dude! I just got a Onefinity journeyman this week and im new to cncs

[@JBirdCustoms]

Nice! I'm really interested the onefinity! I have had my xcarve for 5 years now and done a bunch of upgrades but I'm growing out of it. I need more stability and seen the onefinity, it looks like a great machine! I'm currently in the middle of moving and plan to do more videos once moved so subscribe if you'd like and if you have questions please feel free to ask and maybe I can make a video on it!

[@shirocp]

Just out of curiosity, how long did it take and what were your cutting settings? Feed rate, Plunge rate, and Depth per pass? Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@JBirdCustoms]

Honestly I don't really remember how long it took but wasn't very long. Couple of minutes. Each machine is different so my rates may be much slower than what another machine can handle but may also be to fast for others. Dialing your feeds is a tricky thing and something that you'd really have to find where your machines runs best

[@MrBAchompBAchomp]

I may be too stoned but I'm skipping the first step if my lumber (stock) is already milled flat and square

[@JBirdCustoms]

Yeah if it's already flat and square skip that part... I used a band saw to quickly cut some pieces to make these so they weren't level at all... after that it's basically draw some circles and press carve.
