Making a Cabinet on the YetiTool SmartBench CNC

[@CaptZenPetabyte]

I think I need one, and as my 'office' is a isuzu pentec this would be perfect to travel with me! ❤🎉

[@YetiToolAustralasia]

It is an absolutely brilliant machine. The degree of accuracy you get on the SmatBench CNC machine, and the fact that it can be packed away and setup in minutes is incredible.

This is an awesome video 🙂. You guys are great!

[@YetiToolAustralasia]

G'day Ryan. Thanks for your kind words and support! We appreciate that you enjoyed the video. If there are any build or project videos you would like to see us do, let us know!

very relaxing video👍👍 👏

The blind dato’s are something I and interested in, and reference materials on how to? do’s and Don’t do?

Is there a self-destruct button?

[@YetiToolAustralasia]

There sure is, right next to the espresso button.

[@tgicabinetworks9850]

what size bit did you use to drill for the shelf pins?

[@YetiToolAustralasia]

Thanks for watching! We didn't have a 5mm bit handy, so used the 1/8" bit to pocket 5mm holes in the same pass as the channels for the 4mm backing boards.

Could you cut different styles of kitchen doors ?

[@YetiToolAustralasia]

You can cut whatever you design. This was designed in Fusion360, so if I wanted to design different doors, ti would be an easy thing to do as you aren't limited to any constraints. The freedom to design also makes it a challenge, as cabinet software might be better if you are looking to do just cabinets. This type of software can be very costly however and it is not something we have experience with.

[@jamesclinton1555]

Can I use any software with this cnc ? Also how long did it take to cut this project ?

[@YetiToolAustralasia]

@@jamesclinton1555 You can sue anything that has the ability to output tool paths as either .NC or .GCODE files. We generally recommend Vectric Software for generating tool paths as it is easy to learn and use. The whole cabinet took about 2.5 hours to cut.

stellar!

Slick!

Lots of questions, for processing large sheets for building cabinets how are the separately cut pieces held down in place when it is separated from the large piece? Has anyone built a vacuum hold down for sheets yet for the Yeti? I noticed that the euro hinges were not cut out on the cabinets can the Yeti be programmed to do this?

[@YetiToolAustralasia]

Hey Bud, I have seen some people dabble with a vac bed on the talk group on Facebook. Parts are held in place with tabs and if you are set up with a little trimmer with a flush bit, they are no issue to deal with at all. If you are cutting larger cabinet parts, you can even get away with no tabs. The upper X Beam on the Yeti SmartBench comes down on to your material, and can help to clamp down and keep larger pieces on place enough for them to not move during the final pass. The Euro hinges were indeed cut in the same program as the rest of the cabinet, it may have just not been visible in the video, so definitely achievable.

Can you please provide the feeds and speeds and doc (dept of cut) settings used in fusion for the different tools?

[@YetiToolAustralasia]

G'day Steven. We have some good information on our website about feeds and speeds and DOC for various toolbits. Follow this link for more info; www.yetitool.com.au/knowledge-base/spindle-motors-and-tooling/cutters/

[@southhillfarm2795]

Love the idea, just not powerful enough for a small cabinet shop.

[@YetiToolAustralasia]

Thanks for following along! The SmartBench is perfectly suited to a small cabinet shop. If you are cutting carcasses more than anything else, we suggest using a smaller bit such as a 1/8" compression, which you can run at a faster cutting feed rate of 4-6m/min at 4mm DOC. If a more industrial machine is needed, then it's as simple as that. For those that aren't ready to commit to a larger, more expensive machine; the SmartBench CNC is an excellent choice for those too intimidated to take the plunge in to CNC. We have plenty of customers using the SmartBench for cabinetry. What is right for them, isn't right for everyone!

[@hanspijpers2100]

please do some better "music" or no music at all, but the background music of the spindle motor ? I'd prefer that above "your" taste in music, or best is to speak what you are doing with some background information Kind regards Hans

[@martyn1678]

i liked the music

[@YetiToolAustralasia]

That's what we were thinking
