[@MakeSomething]

hehe!!

[@foxco2378]

good vid, Im a commercial cnc programmer, If you get the vacuum table get a sheet of ldf low density fiber board cut to size of the table and install. you can cut through your job and occasionally surface out your table to remove cut through and have a clean cutting surface over and over till the ldf is too thin and then change it out!

[@richardlarson7169]

great video! I was already enjoying your struggles with the dust collection, so when you dropped the hand planes in the trash... I nearly spilled my coffee, and I laughed loud enough the dog was offended and left the room! Nice project to show the machine off. I'm really thinking this may be the machine for my shop. Thanks!

[@MorseB]

Wait, no walnut spoil board?

[@MakeSomething]

Oh man! That would have awoken the monsters!

[@tcsyme]

Stepcraft makes a nice machine. I have had their D.600 for a couple of years now, and have been very happy with it.

[@jakerazmataz852]

I'm in the process of buying a laser engraver. I never really consider a CNC machine but that is a work of art. The problem is, it doesn't come with any attachments, so the price is going to add up quickly. i love the fact you did't edit out not fixing the dust collector, the first time, and then not turning it on. Haha! The fact you learned something in the process offsets it.

[@greavous93]

Ive got a picture of Norm Abram in my shop too. I was practicing making picture frames at the time and needed subject matter. I got my start by watching him while drinking coffee.

[@captbeardy]

If you do the tabs half hight or less. When you sand the residue of the tab away angle your sander table down so you’re only sanding the bottom edge and the top edge remains unmolested and maintains the machined dimensions.

[@chaoticlogic588]

Making It podcast listener and subscribed fan here. I've often heard it mentioned by many makers on YT that digital fabrication content doesn't always fair well. Especially for woodworking demographic. However as a person that works in an environment that utilizes cnc equipment regularly; its fascinating to see how you jump into it. I look forward to your creative ideas and use cases. One minor caution I feel obligatory to mention... you've mentioned how the router scares you because of how dangerous it can be. Bare in mind this is basically the same tool in reverse. Get very familiar with the location of those E-stops, do not wear gloves, and never reach towards a spinning spindle. Thanks for sharing.

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you! appreciate you listening and watching!

[@pieterdesmijter420]

Small tip for removing tabs. I use a flush trim bit on the router table. Works good. 👌

[@nerddub]

For thin panels, try blue painters tape on both workpiece and the bed / spoilboard, then super glue between the two layers of tape. I was skeptical at first, but it holds really well, and if your bed is flat enough, the two layers of tape mean you can cut all the way through your piece but not your spoilboard (bonus not necessary, it is a spoilboard after all). Then the piece is pried up, tape peels off, voila! Can NEVER have too many workholding techniques!! Great video!

[@Hog-g2z]

Good Day 🌅, that looks like a great CNC , I am interested in slab flatting jig , I will have a look 👀 to see what you guys made, From France

[@justinmurphy2227]

I love exotic cars and that M.1000 CNC has me fixated like it's an Italian beauty! I mean damn....you can just plop it down on a surface and BAM! It's CNC'd! Make a custom railing to hold your bare legs or back down and you have "Scar Art". Oh settle downnnnn! I was just kidding! (hmmmm.....) LOL....seriously though....great video and you demoed that machine very well! Not using the vac option just built up the suspense brother! Stepcraft would be proud! Now if I could just get hooked with a tiny one for my upcoming "Car Audio from the COUCH!" KZbin chanel..... Thanks for you hard work Mr. MS!

[@SGOI_AUS]

First time ive seen your vids here In Australia and i have to say very well done i really like how you are explaining these cnc THINGYS (and then corrected) terms. we all understand thingy terms. This is one of the very few educational / explanation video that readers want to learn from for two reasons that your video not only explains the CNC talk but also the how to explanation talk. The people that understand what im saying will agree this is what a youtube presenter should be clear, understanding, not 100% scripted and boring scientific talk and most importantly engaging at the viewers level. So many times we get presenters not knowing what they talking about or they know to much and cant explain things without losing or confusing viewers so if im making sense (no pun intended) people who want to be a presenter should take a page outta this mans book. Well done and PS ill give you the thumbs up but i am right fr the choc top thanks :-). GREAT WORK KEEP EM COMING

[@scottlward1]

Wow!! I’ve been waiting for a full reveal of the mural and the back wall...it’s a huge change from the blank canvas you started from. Can totally see that shop being inspirational to work in.

By the way, I used to race a 250 single cinder Honda Kart years ago, back in the late 70s early 80s , I now ride a HD, back in the early 2000s About 15 of as road to Barcelona, to a rally, We were there one of the young guys had found a Kart circuit, so we all decided that we have the day there, I think it was around €50 each for the day including our food and drink, We had a number of races, to end up with a final at the end of the day and the trophy or some paperwork at least, I did not tell anybody that I used to race a, it was easy lemon squeezy, In the final race of the day, I’ve got T-bone pushed off the track so many times, I still came across the line 1st, my claim to fame,

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

The overlay that Stepcraft put over the top of UCCNC looks good.

[@ClintonC.Caraway]

Starting a KZbin channel is a better option than starting a real business. Where else can you get free tools and build shops as a business. I recently saw April Wilkerson get a $40k Shopsabre CNC and a complete shop full of Grizzly tools.... not normal tools!!! 16" jointers and sliding panelsaws. Good for all of you! I am jealous but also support your hard work. I've been a sub since you taught me how to build a wine box with a incra jig!!

[@keithbryan6073]

I know right? Where does he live? I've never been dumpster diving but after seeing this video I'm beginning to rethink things! Lol, I'll come haul the tools away that are on the table that are trash, no need to waste a perfectly good trash bag or valuable space in the trash can! Hahaha

[@mvbeattie]

That was so funny. This guy is a riot.

[@inventorwithadd]

"And then I forgot to turn on the dust collector..." LOL omg.. reminds me so much of myself :) Such a cool machine!

[@ssealabs]

It might be good to throw in some "negatives"; it must have a few (but maybe since it was "provided by Stepcraft", you are not allowed to point out its weaknesses). I've often wondered if sawdust makes its way onto the upper linear rails and sticks to the lube. The side rails are somewhat protected with that rubber strip (though it does not seem to seal tightly; in one part of the video 11:40 it looks deformed). I wonder how square that frame stays...I suppose one could bolt it to the table underneath. This video reminded me that I have a door that needs some weather-stripping.

[@janzkrs8006]

having a stepcraft I can say that dust does come into the rubber compartments and everywhere else as well. It is good to see them finally using vacuuming a bit more, but still. about squarenes... do not expect it. also the speeding up and slowing down on turns shouldn't be happening. I experience it miself and suspect it has to do with the slow communication. I broke many bits that way!

[@rolandgdean]

I recently upgraded from a NextWave to an Axiom...WOW! Axiom is CRAZY nice. Grats on the new machine.

Use the CNC to cut a grid in your spoil board and insert strips of window seal 'foam rope', then a port to your vacuum, you'll have a vacuum hold-down.

[@oges74]

That design on the work bench, so cool, and the CNC is so freakin awesome

[@Cr1msonFir3]

Thx for showing the dust collector being adjustable. I'm building my own and wasn't sure how to build it but that gave me the idea how to make it.

[@j_calbacete2023]

🤩😱😱 my dream cnc machine!thanks sir for sharing this video...

[@unclezeds]

Have you considered using the CNC to router the job surface flat? The rails are already there as is the router and sled. A large diameter router bit, a simple cnc program or even manual jogging control will level the job or even the bed for that matter.

[@steffenkoball8200]

Awesome video!

[@jasonwest2064]

Stepcraft probably just sold a few machines by giving you one. Great video as always. Thanks

[@BlueLineofthesky]

In this moment Stepcraft is the best CNC in its class. No doubt about this.

[@lintelle2382]

next time you hafta do the bridge (tab) thing, make them as thin as you think you can get away with and then after freeing them from the board, use a flush cutting router bit with the bearing running against the top part of the part which represents the final shape. no sanding. no sanding problems. cool tool, btw!

What about the router and the bracket that holds it? The bracket is small compared to other CNC's and holds the router in a low center of gravity that looks like it would give easy. The router also does not look very substantial, what is your experience on these two maters?

Is 3k too low of a budget to start out? I want point to point cnc for hobby cabinet making. 24" x 48" bed is min. Although, I'd love to see a full 24" x 90" bed for taller cabinets. Any info helpful. The new D series has an option around 3k that fits the bill, but need to understand D series vs the m1000. Why is it cheaper... ?

[@TheAlogoc]

Hi. Do you know If models 600 and/or 850, can also cut below cnc base level?

[@TomMakeHere]

Nice design it looks cool. My method to get rid of tabs is to do the cut with a small outwards offset, then do a full depth cut with no offset (and no tabs). You need to follow the router and hold the pieces down with a pair of screw drivers (or something other than your fingers) so they don't come loose while cutting

[@MakeSomething]

Ohh, great tip, thanks!

[@TomMakeHere]

@@MakeSomethingfurther to this tip, put a stop in after the first pass, then you can start it when you are ready to chase the router with pokey things

[@constantinosschinas4503]

14:30 sand the piece totally flat first, then cnc your stuff with tabs that you can sand later. tip. do it fast. moisture can rewarp even the thickest slabs in a matter of hours, especially if the wood is relatively live.

how to you do vertical dovetails without only xyz axis?

[@willrobertson7152]

When running onion skinning it is best to utilized a sealed vacuum system under the mdf. If you create vacuum sealing under the mdf and then seal the top side of the spoil board around the part you can achieve a flat surface. Keep the onion skin around .01" Keep your onion skin channel just wider than the bearing of your table router. It's nice to program in an entry hole instead of punching thru the onion skin. If profiling go once thru the onion skin to free up the part. Then profile(roundover, champfer, or whatever. better to have a free part to move freely for profiling to eliminate burning and chatter based issues.

I know the dust collection height was an issue but its really cool to see the bit cutting into your maple top.
