How to Make Trays & Bowls with a CNC

[@chrisroyak4479]

Clear explanations of your process with sound reasoning for the decisions you make are what set your videos apart! Keep doing what you're doing!

[@rickwize1182]

Saw your website, absolutely great video to explain the process, but even more impressed by your family and Micah 6:8. Be blessed!

[@StellarEmpyrean]

This video is so helpful! I was searching for what the capabilities of a cnc machine are and this gave me a lot of ideas!

[@badalchauhan3188]

All i can say a real Hard work done for manufacturing sone great places of tray ❤

[@davefreeman4680]

Ty for a great step by step at the end of the vid , saved for reference, being a newbie you put things at ease as I’m more a visual learner 👍

[@lha9310]

Love That Hawks Tray! I just ordered my first CNC and being from Washington I’m gonna try to make one of those for myself 👍👍

[@johnwaje1078]

There's too much information here. What a great video! I'm glad I saw it. Please create more videos related to CNC

[@fablabifurniture643]

Your design looks really wonderful... I can see that your processes are very meticulous and you try to make the whole process have a good finish. Congratulations for your job and you just gained one more subscriber to your channel...👍🧡

খুব ভালো লাগলো ভিডিও 💔💔💔

[@BeaulieuTodd]

Quite a good presentation, covering the entire process.

[@johnshipps441]

Go Hawks! I'm researching CNCs and ran across this video. You had me at all the Mariners, Kraken and Seahawks merch! New subscriber here. I'll also check out I2R since I haven't bought yet.

[@TotalBoat]

These boards are all amazing! Beautiful work!

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Thank you so much!

[@johnprosser2142]

Thank you so much for going to the trouble of making that video! I have only just started watching it and I thought I better clear up first what size spindle do you recommend for doing these sorts of jobs? I was going to upgrade to 800 W as that's about the heaviest I think my Genmitsu 4040 pro will handle, do you think that would be enough for that type of work please? Many thanks in advance!

[@markmyers9855]

I love your work

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Thank you!

Outstanding job! Came across you for the first time. Where have you been all my life?!?!

[@darrellmorris5742]

Awesome video! I like the color combinations for the laminated bowls. Really nice that you included the Vectric part as well. Very enjoyable. 👍

[@guybowers9094]

Another great tutorial on some cool items. Always enjoy watching your videos and like the way you present the information

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Very much appreciated!

[@MESTER47]

Hi again from Romania! Go seahawks! I'll be soon visiting State of Washington! Cheers.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Awesome! Go Hawks!

[@oldchev2850]

I made my dust shoe adjustable but seperate to the z axis so mine doesn't get pushed into the job like yours did. I also put the position of the brushes wide enough that they wouldnt touch my 2 1/2" facemill if they did get folded in by clamps or whatever.

[@KimberlyWendt-lc2iv]

I put an exopy clear flood coat over a carved board as I had several air bubbles in the text but don't like the shininess. Can I surface a bit and then do the mineral oil soak? Wood is walnut.

[@markgaither5635]

Great video. But I do wish you would have shown how to set up a job with the different compartments in the tray. Like how to create the shapes and how to space them evenly

[@russellbauer61]

Any recommendations for a CNC carve creating a raised bubble sticking up from the flat outside areas?

[@shughes599]

About to do my Christmas trays. I have a cool snowflake design. I modified every vector in vcarve to be smooth in node editor mode, I have heard this will minimize vertical ridges where bit changes directions. I have my prototypes to compare it to.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Awesome! Think I’ll be trying some snowflakes later in the season.

[@shughes599]

@@SixEightWoodworks so far smoothing my vectors made some really nice pockets with no ridges. In vcarve is selected an array, hit n for node edit, dragged around them all then hit s for smooth. Super easy.

[@mohdqasim6854]

Iwant more videos

[@ronwilson4340]

Great video. One question though. Is the lacquer food safe?

[@seabeepirate]

You should put a mr fusion sticker on your dust collector motor because it looks like it should be poking out the top of a Delorean.

[@bilo6]

Thanks for the very clear explanations! Just a question regarding the roundover of the top edges. Is there a reason why you do them on the router table vs directly on the CNC?

[@Karimsss25]

very nice! I'm learning and trying to cnc bowls trays etc though many people are advising me not to use solid wood because of warping mainly is this true? yet i see alot of similar projects from solid wood and lots of folks are making them.

[@guybartlett9587]

If it's been kiln dried I bet not?

[@Boxboys.Audio.Sound.Solutions]

Nice video.. What Grizzly collection system do you have ?

[@mohdqasim6854]

Good evening sir

[@benjaminl3084]

Maybe it's just the camera making them look thick but what are the thickness's of those pieces your cutting on the router table with the flush trim bit? They look much thicker than 1" and if they are what bit are you using on the cnc to cut the profile out? Wondering because the compression bit in the description only has a cutting height of 1"

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Yes, several are about 2” thick. Even with the 1” cutting height it keeps plunging deeper and cuts more as it only takes 1/4” with each pass.

[@ernestezis9526]

At about 11:43 you start to talk about your favorite contour grinder, you say arbortech but you are using a DeWalt? Did you misspeak, can you please clarify?

[@SixEightWoodworks]

It’s the Arbortech Contour Sander attachment used on any angle grinder (DeWalt for me). Here’s the attachment: amzn.to/45Lc3ah

[@timurkunak1327]

Hi! Thank you very much! Maybe my question does not relate directly to the topic of the video, but, how do you prepare thin stripes of wood for a glue up ? I mean you can’t use a jointer for them, and thickness planer is also dangerous to use with such thins stripes.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Great question. I talk all about the thin strips for glue ups in the Cutting Board 101 video. Here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIXWfKZ6f9SLaKc

[@darrellmorris5742]

Notice he has a drum sander. That's likely what he uses. If you don't have a drum sander, a random orbit, or even a sanding block would do fine.

[@timurkunak1327]

@@darrellmorris5742 thanks! No drum sander, ((( only orbital sanders. But I doubt that they will make an even flat surface (like after thickness planer).

[@michaelwildasin6388]

Great Video, i love my CNC for these types of projects. how do you store your items after you finish them? thanks and good luck with fall market!!

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Thanks! I store them in crates. Just tightly packed and the lid on to keep out dust 😁

[@michaelwildasin6388]

@@SixEightWoodworks thanks for the response and the informative content.

[@jeremysills6464]

Approximately how long did each bowl/dish take to cut on the cnc?

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Totally depends. Can be 1-2 hours for big ones or intricate ones

[@bobmcnally1621]

Very Helpful info - Thank you. Newbie Question - Is the radius at the bottom corner of a tray determined by the shape of the router bit or can you control it in the Vcarve software?

[@bizarro20daves]

In these examples it seems to be the router bit but you can also control it in vcarve if you are using a different router bit (it might not be as smooth though which is why people use specialised bits)

[@justwavingenterprises2542]

My apologies if you have answered my question but I missed it, where did you get your clamps that you use on the wood while in the cnc?

[@SixEightWoodworks]

No problem. These clamps came with the CNC package from i2R.

[@Skybalon52]

Great video. I'm also in Washington (Clearview area). Where do you get your hardwood locally?

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Awesome! I’m up in Lake Stevens. Crosscut in Seattle and Edensaw in Port Townsend. Some other options in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imHEZKCmo71oea8

[@Bernardgrubb]

Have you or anyone ever milled African Blackwood. I'm getting ready to do a project made completely of this species. Any info on bits, feeds and speeds would be helpful. I hate to practice on this wood as it's $150/board foot... I don't know of any other wood that is that hard so in order to get an idea of how it mills I will need to use it. If anyone has any advice on that as well, using a substitute for it would also be welcome. Thanks to everyone.

[@stevedaniell7643]

Just found you channel. Good stuff. However, you may have just cost me $5g. Don’t have a CNC but have been very curious.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

😆 I was always hesitant because the kits I saw folks using seemed daunting, as did the software. But with this unit, it’s a super easy set up, robust machine, and the software was really intuitive with great videos online. Such a great tool for so many applications. Pretty addicting too 😁

[@darrellmorris5742]

I shopped for 10 years before buying one. All the forums said the same thing: don't buy a cheap one - save your money and buy your second one first. Best advice I got. Good luck, they are awesome!

[@flameon2115]

Which mm bowl and tray bite i am ause for food result

[@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQ]

This all looks great, but looks like 50K or more worth of tools here and a vast amount of time! Fantastic results, but you need to charge the earth for those pieces in the end to make any money.

[@vicstewart4849]

[@bernarddenis813]

really good video ! where did you get the cnc file for the trays

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Thanks! I designed most of them or used trace bitmap like I showed at the end. Did buy one file from Etsy.

[@northofsixty2]

Is spray lacquer food safe?

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Most finishes when they fully cure are food safe. I only use it on personal projects though like candy or nut dishes.

[@northofsixty2]

@SixEightWoodworks thanks for the reply

[@adambradshaw5126]

I would like to get a CNC machine, but I am a little intimidated when watching videos about the software process such as CAD, CAM, and G Code. You seem to simplify and explain things well and was hoping you could put together a video explaining the computer side of designing a project. If you have already done such a video, I apologize.

[@rleigh]

There's a LOT to learn, but you can do it!

[@shughes599]

A round over bit removes tabs and knocks off the corner in one step.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Some of my profile cuts are with a 1/8” bit and is too tight for the round over. I don’t mind the extra step for other applications as some of the woods I use like santos mahogany are super hard and prone to chip out if I go straight to the round over.
