[poopdood321JP]

nice.

But how do you go about taking it completely off of the excess wood?

Do you cut it out at full depth? Wouldn't the work move a little as its being cut since its not being held down (the guitar part that is)?

[J66G]

@poopdood321JP I leave some tabs to hold the body. The wood is oriented via some 6mm pins in steel in a tight fit . This way I can turn it round as I wish, an keep it oriented.

[corpralkirsch]

what classes do you have to take to do this

[PattArtTube]

Hello!

From what kind of wood do this part?

Yours

[TheAustinWalls]

how much did your home built cnc run you?

[cikicrocus]

home built CNC..nice man :)...you have talent, dont waste it..

[playfsx]

it's very fast !! and is very nice build. I try to build one cnc, so you cant provide me some specs ? like what motor you use, what controller, what metal axes do you use and how accurate it is .

[DECIFERTHIS09]

that beats a asain kid any day

[spikeccx]

when the cutter howles like a wolf , Its not a good sign LOL , how many have you broke?

[romainsouthcoast]

hello, I am conceiving my cnc as hold her and justement to make the same work type as you.

I would like to know what is the electronic card which you use and the caracteristiques of your motors

[athask8]

ohhhhh my god!this thing made the whole body just like this!so easy!freakin awesome!!!!

[acrock21]

how much is the hardware and what kind of hardware is it ?

[erfmedeiros]

Ain't that romantic...

[luthiao]

Hello friend, congratulations on your very beautiful work, and I'm also a luthier to buy my first CNC, I saw that you use servo motors Kelling [ac brushless or dc?], I would like to refer me to the links that used those products in its electronics, Thank you health and peace

[777r7]

do you use rhinocam.. what task did you use??? how you make it to get rounded ???

[J66G]

@777r7 Yes, i use RhinoCam 2.0 standard. Mostly i use pocketing and profiling. For rounded i use parallel finishing.

[777r7]

@J66G please check your inbox messages, i wrote to you, so you say you use rhinocam 2.0 standard, that means you are using pocketing and not 3d pocketing?? is that correct???

[J66G]

@777r7 Rhinocam 2 std have 3D roughing, 3D horisontal finising and 3D parallel finishing.

For contour i use 2½D profiling and 2½D pocketing. For arm cut and backside cut i use first 3D roughing, and then 3D parallel finishing.

[Rick31797]

what is guiding the router, computer program ???

[J66G]

@Rick31797 it is G-code controlled via Mach3 (program)

[Hasjhus]

Woah! I want one :'D

[pescadinha123]

do you teach how to build guitar like that ? nice job

[thed3m0n]

why the sequence priority is depth? could the inner hole be cut first and then the outside contour? that would be much faster=cheaper...

[stryperjohn]

what craftsmanship~

[alvaritooooooooo]

That's impressive but it seems like the machine i expending a lot of energy

[phillies4eva]

totally sick, but why am i listening to annoying router sounds and not a sick guitar song?

[ChalkysFinest]

@phillies4eva

For us cnc guys we like to hear the sound of the tooling. You can tell a lot by the sound. Good stuff if your going to do the same as this guy.

Just m2c

[reebocken]

omfg that's so cool! I've never seen anything like this before. How can it be expensive to make a body when you just have to do the design and click 1 buttom and it's done. Too easy but very cool!

[DjinnJuggler]

it's expensive because the router cost a thousand dollars to make :P

[muse0007]

how much the cnc cost u 2 make?

[ht448]

@muse0007 well there about $100.0000 to buy and thats cheap

[jian2069]

100 dollars ? lol

i thnk you are not looking for a period there

[ht448]

@jian2069 lol i fucked up on the key board

[jian2069]

look in previous comments and you will find this quote "The price for the parts was about 5000$, and then a lot of hours. "

[ricardourio]

Nice job ! Some possiblity of share the files ?

[ViktorVR]

It's Alder ??? the wood I mean.

and what is the cost for that machine??? aprox.

[J66G]

@ViktorVR no, it's europerian ash. More ligth in color, but more heavy than swamp ash. But the tone is very focused.

The price for the parts was about 5000$, and then a lot of hours.

[nwimpney]

Nice. I'm working on a CNC machine right now.

That seems nice and quick. Are you using steppers? If so, what size are they?

My machine might have a heavier gantry than yours, but I really have no idea what size motors I should use.

[J66G]

No, I use Servomotors with encoder. It works very stabel. Its Nema 23 motors. Encoders 300 pulses=1200 positions/rev. Spindel Pitch 5mm and 4mm.

The size off motors depends of how quickly you will accelerate your gantry.

[molinobeer]

@J66G

Nema23 are sttepers...

[J66G]

@molinobeer

No, not if they ar servo motors. w w w.kelinginc. net/ServoMotors. html

[lilbrudder32]

@molinobeer NEMA 23 is the standard for the size of the motor frame. What's inside could be anything, brushless DC, servo, stepper, etc.

[TheAVolta]

Awsome :-)

[SuperWario094]

was this programmed with a cad file  or with all the numbers and stuff?

[J66G]

I have drawn it in Rhino3D and use RhinoCAM std to generate the G-code.

[Keskin1975]

Is that a Kress 1050 spindle and what kind of bit are you using?

[J66G]

Yes, its a Kress 1050, and the bit is a festool ø8x30. Can machine very deep holes and with a small diameter.

[juningarcia]

hello friend as parabens with the projects for use in this machine but I do not have the required guitar projects

[personNumber0123]

I'm so jealous!!

[Distortedbackdrop]

nice stuff man, I myself am currently learning to become a luthier; keep up the good work, and even if you're only doing it for personal pleasure I respect the fact that you have taken the time to delve into (in today's time) a dying art :)

[romanogaspari]

good work. did you change bit during the milling process?

[lucianosziebarth]

How long (minutes) to do the work machine? Tks

[J66G]

The work for a strat type body is about 30 min.

[yosefi83]

Hi,

Very nice work! Nice looking machine.

I liked the cutting speed ;-)

But what about the ball screws - they are totally exposed to the dust?

Daniel

[J66G]

Yes, I have constucted the machine so the screws on the side are away from the work. But the others are exposed. So cleaning and lubricating is importend. But on the other hand, there is dust almost everywere.

[AndersAagaard]

Fedt man! Sådan en maskine må da være hammer dyr.

[J66G]

tja, den løber op. Men det er mest skinner og spindler der koster.
