SmartBench: Before You Buy

[@excessnet]

this is the best presentation video I've seen in my life. Not only you show all the features, but also give all informations and give exception (and not only marketing numbers) ! Good job!

[@YetiToolLtd]

Thanks Sebastien!

[@nobodyjones7632]

This Sir is the best thing since sliced bread ive ever seen. Just what ive been looking for with space in mind...

[@YetiToolLtd]

Thanks for the kind comments!

[@protect.your.digits.creations]

The more I learn about Yeti Smartbench the better my concept looks for the future videos and presentations .

[@YetiToolLtd]

Thank you!

First, this is a very good presentation video. I'd like to see a more commercial version of this machine "Commercial procession." 10-12k range. While I think this machine is very very interesting, it appears to have some limitations due to the low gantry (that's fine), so lot's of cabinet making or prints on doors ect. Commercial version that I'd actually consider buy possibly someday would be like: 1 - Servos 2 - 4x wide work table on a commercial machine, can roll onto job site/ shop (casters). 3 - Steel 4 - ATC spindle 5 - Ball screws on XY Again this is a very interesting CNC modification, on par with a job site table saw accessibility to a CNC owns a market that no other CNC can touch.

[@YetiToolLtd]

Thanks you for the comment, and for the feedback. The gantry and SmartBench splits to allow you to process 7 inches of stock material. We will of course take your feedback into consideration for future models!

[@Z-add]

These feature you are requesting will double or tripple the cost of the machine. Are you willing to pay that.

[@FEV369]

@@Z-add If I had a need for it, yes... To be clear, I did state that. I don't have a reason for this machine atm in my life, but to be fair I have no need for this machine at it's current price or at 10-12k. If I had a company where I was pushing out product over and over, then yes, I'd much rather things like an ATC/ballscrew ect as option. I bought a CNC machine, it has an ATV/Ballscrews/Servos. I had the option to get rack and pinion, no ATC and steppers to save lots of money, maybe 4k? I spent more.

What program did you use to Wright the yeti logo and does it come with the standard software package?

[@lockstocky2800]

This looks great and I’m very impressed, I’ve been trying to research actual owner reviews. There doesn’t seem to be hardly anything out there, everything on KZbin is yeti or someone who has been sent it by yeti to review !!!!! And there is very little in the way of written reviews from owners . This worry’s me when I’m spending this much cash. I booked in for a demo thinking there will be someone close ish, nope only one place and over 2 hours drive away, how can you have one trend rep offering demos ?? I’m undecided on this purchase for these reasons, little concerning.

[@YetiToolLtd]

Hi Lock Stocky - thanks for the comment! We do have a handful of reviews on google as well as trust pilot. If you have Facebook, i would also suggest joining the "Yeti Tool Talk Group" which has over 2700 members who can give you honest feedback. I can see that you have sent us a Facebook message, so we can get you booked in for a demonstration more locally.

@@YetiToolLtd thanks for the reply . I have joined your Facebook group and looks great . Look forward to the demo

Hi. i was just wonder if the smart bench can be used for Fiberglass door panel groove designs

[@YetiToolLtd]

Hello! Can you please email [e-mail] which a detailed explanation and possibly some photos of what you are looking to achieve? Thanks :)

[@bellrobert1978]

You mentioned you have machines running all day and all week. How long do they last running them full time like that?

[@YetiToolLtd]

Thanks for the comment! We keep the machine running with regular maintenance. The main wear items are wheels and spindle brushes, although running them for this amount of time has meant we have replaced a few spindles as the commutator wears out. We hope this helps answer your question :)

[@philvale5724]

Is this router system suitable for wood flattening in regards of like river tables, Thank you, PHIL FROM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOULIN.

[@YetiToolLtd]

Yes, it is.

[@IsmaharIsmail]

I try to purchase from Malaysia. Is this possible?

[@YetiToolLtd]

Hello! Yes, you can purchase through our website www.YetiTool.com

[@ronsone8373]

Do a desktop version please

[@bobd.]

Does the software keep track of running hours so you know when to change brushes?

[@YetiToolLtd]

Hi Bob, we do indeed track the number of hours the spindle has run and give you brush life reminders on the console. The console also gives reminders on Z Axis lubrication and check your "wheel setting" intervals.

[@jude2485]

Can is carve 3d doors? Please answer!🙏🏽

[@YetiToolLtd]

Yes, it has full 3 axis CNC capability.

[@houtslager]

Damn Aaron, when did you guys add the laser cross hairs ? K

[@YetiToolLtd]

This was added to the Z Head V2 which is on the PrecisionPro model back in 2020

[@terrybrockhoff8168]

The presenter is easy on the eyes

[@arttilldawn155]

Why not use a burshless spindle? Is there a spindle upgrade 🤔

[@YetiToolLtd]

We have found that our current brushed spindle is the best option for SmartBench.

[@adamvu119]

Nice expensive toy for hobbyist. You shouldn’t advertising this machine to use on any real working environment. I’m sure it can do the job but take forever. 3m/m cutting 19mm in 4 pass. cutting straight line on a 8 feet will take 5min 😂

[@YetiToolLtd]

Hi Adam! Thanks for the comment. SmartBench has proven itself to be used in small to medium businesses in a "production environment". While SmartBench mechanics mean its a little slower that some traditional flatbed CNC's, it is a fraction of the cost which makes it more affordable with a faster ROI.

[@tomthumb6269]

Way too expensive

[@YetiToolLtd]

Hi Tom - Thanks for the comment. SmartBench is competitively priced within its place in the market - in fact, It is one of the most affordable CNC routers available right now that can cut a full sheet (8' x 4'). It is a fully engineered, assembled and calibrated machine which has been compared closely to machines at over 5 times the price. If you would like to find out more information, or receive a demonstration then please get in touch :)
