That's amazing! Now all I need is for the oldest to move out so I can expand my workshop into his bedroom to fit this thing. Shouldn't be more than 15 years or so. :) But seriously, thank you. Your effort and generosity is much appreciated!

Hi mate. I just want to say, THANKS for all the work you has put into this project, and I'am looking forward to watch your videos about making guitars on you CNC. I have been a Luthier for more than 40 years, and have for the last 10 years dreamed about making a CNC that i can carve some nice body's, neck's and fretdoards with wilde inlays. And now i might will be able to do so, thanks to your crazy amount of work. Thanks again mate and merry christmas 🙂

What an excellent project - the amount of work and detail that you have included in this CNC is awesome - about as clear as building one of these machines is going to get! Way to go with giving them away, not sure I get it but that is very generous and I am sure many folks will appreciate the amazing work that you have done. I am currently building one myself and had already started before I saw this video. However my design is virtually the same, just in a smaller scale. I guess there are not a ton of different ways to do this, but I have seen several and some that do not look that good. For example, one important thing that varies is the type of linear motion systems that are used. In your case I do believe that you have picked (from a design standpoint ) the very robust linear rails and carriages. Other machines use less robust choices like the round rail systems (not bad but not nearly as good) or cam rollers which are not accurate or strong at all. Last thing is about the control of the CNC. Why did you choose Mach 3 for your machine? I am only asking as the software choices are the hardest part of the machine for me to understand. Reading up here in the USA I have narrowed down my CNC software to either be LinuxNC or FluidNC. The nice thing about both of these is that they are fully open source and from what I can tell are both very capable platforms. Again, awesome work, glad that I found your channel. Cheers

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowlegde!! I've been watching your videos about the cnc machine, and believe me, i feel more confident now to build mine, It will be different though but I just wanted to let you know that I've learned so much from your videos, thanks a lot!!

I know the feeling! I only built the shed just under 2 years ago, it's surprising how quickly you can outgrow a workshop :)

I love to see new OSHW machine tools! Kudos for making it and releasing it. I wonder how much work it would be to port the drawings to FreeCAD and the controller to LinuxCNC so it can be a fully open system. I'm not bashing F360 or Mach, btw, just noting that the project is pretty close to being free as in beer and as in speech.

@thehardwareguy 5 ай бұрын

Thanks man! I see where you are coming from. This is something I will certainly look into going forward, particularly around LinuxCNC. For me Mach3 was simply a way to get this running and test it out. I have said from the start that I will be moving away from it. As someone who teaches CAD (including FreeCAD) I can honestly say FreeCAD is dreadful, it's a real mess and the UI is awful. Fusion 360 is still free but limited to a number of projects unfortunately. This was a greedy move by Autodesk.

@OhHeyTrevorFlowers 5 ай бұрын

@@thehardwareguy I get that many people don't like FreeCAD. I came from Solidworks and Mastercam and for whatever reason FreeCAD works fine for my needs. But yeah, the deal Autodesk offers for free Fusion360 just keeps getting worse and also worse for indies who are willing to pay but not at like, Boeing level of cost. 🙂 But again, thanks for making and sharing the design! That's the main thing.

Amazing build sir.👍👍 thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge. appreciate your efforts & dedication for this project. I have a question sir, can i use 1605 ball screw for z axis & 1610 ball screw for X & Y axis? is there any option in mach3 to set different steps /mm for each axis?

Hi, I tried to download the files, but it just loops back to the sponsor's page and nothing downloads. I see you have another download for raptor so tested and it worked but not the cnc. I would like to build this bigger one as have imported a 3018 from amazon but too small for what I would like to do. I'm still trying to learn the cad software; it certainly will cost me a lot more than 3000 to build 🤣 as everything except wood and screws needs importing where I live. Iv helped on the electrical and electronics refurbishing both cnc Lathe and mill on industrial machines for a friend. So, he can help with the drilling and tapping of metal parts.

Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention, it should now be resolved. I made some changes to the site a couple of days ago and that was a weird bug for some unknown reason. Good luck with your build! Come and join the Discord and keep us updated 🙂

Thanks downloading now. Really like the bench part. Very sturdy looking. I've seen designs with aluminium profiles but can't get here and shipping those a hassle

@thehardwareguy 4 ай бұрын

Thank you! yes the bench is very sturdy. It's a great all-round bench for anything in the workshop. I'll probably build a few more in future just for sanding etc. I considered aluminium profiles during my research, but you won't get stiffer than flatbar. When it's all bolted together it's very solid. Even more so if you use steel!

@@thehardwareguy I’ll do that . Currently have quite a few projects on go. Sorting out a woodwork shop,building kitchen cabinets. Plumbing water pipes in garden but digging trenches not so easy I’m 66. So modifying rotorvator to dig the trench at least loosen the soil.

@thehardwareguy 3 ай бұрын

awesome, I hope I can still do all that at 66!

Do you know how loud is it? I would love to build one, but I am a bit worried that my neighbours will complain about the noise :(

@thehardwareguy 2 ай бұрын

The machine itself is not very loud at all due to the water cooled spindle. The major noise tends to come from the shop vac which is required to extract the wood chips away!
