DIY CNC Router Demo

[zernestro]

q nr2. what music is that?=is cool

[toffanelloguitars]

i will like to buy that cnc from you how much do it cost? i really need it

[Satchmoeddie]

I would love some plans and a parts list. I do my stuff the old fashioned way with hand tools. I should say feeding the work by hand and using templates, etc.

[goodsac]

What surfacing bit is that?

[woodentoolcompany]

Awesome for a homemade machine!

[experimentsinthedark]

What music is that?

[KeithWasHere1]

with building your own CNC what are some things to keep in mind with the motors

holding torque? Max RPM of motors? number of steps per full revolution? im lookign to build my own CNC by refitting a Unimat 1000 milling machine but am running into snags with all the numbers..ie Nema 34 vs Nema 23 step motors.400 steps vs 900 steps full revolution.1 vs 1.8 degree steps..any help is appreciated.

[OLDSKOOLWAX]

Where can I get a copy of the plans for this bad boy...this would have to be the best design I have seen so far...

[micmoable]

great vid----I'm a guitar lover so that made it nicer for me--ha!

[pablo07928]

can the you share Gcode for the guitar?

[andr123w]

call me crazy but the neck joint doesn't look wide enough.

[danukenator123]

@andr123w Its probably for a glue on neck. Or you could be right and thats the worst bolt-on design ever.

[XeadXhot]

Curious, i design things. wondering, how much would you guys pay for a 5 axis cnc machine design?

[Mindcore777]

Hi, what are your motor specs, inductance and PSU voltage if you don't mind.

Thanks

[TheJohnfoster25]

hi i am a carpenter and whant to build my own cnc router,ive seen a load 's of plans,machines and there all crap!! but now i have seen yours and its blown me away!! could you please tell me where did you get the plans from and how much their were many thanks future cnc builder

[pescadinha123]

do you teach how to build guitar like that ?

[gubalak]

good job :)

[Celcias]

@fufufufufufu Well id like to cut out a custom body and route it for a rec. floyd bridge. Im not sure I could really do that. Id have to do it all by hand, basically carving the whole thing out.

[Celcias]

@fufufufufufu Ah o-o Id like to build my own guitar but id screw up and it'd be completely ruined. xD

[molinobeer]

what's the name of the song?

[laserflight]

Engineering is SEXY :)

[Celcias]

The slot for the neck looked too small o-o

[jian2069]

LOL AGREE

[coachz44]

its for the neck tenon not the neck heel.

[Celcias]

Huh? o-o

[coachz44]

the neck slot is for a "Set neck" or "Glued in neck"

[aclamadas]

That thing is sexy! =D

[FISHBI4]

just incredible

[VMVMEGADETHVMV]

OMG Wow

[amplivibe]

Nice work! The machine is fast! Looks like a PRS type body to me :o

[jfmayer]

best looking DIY machine I ever saw

and believe me, I'm a guy who did a lot of research on the net for the past few weeks about the subject. Looks to be very strurdy.

[douglas787]

That has got to be the greatest homebuilt CNC router ever. Look like it would give the pros a good run for their money.

[Keskin1975]

Nice work, what kind of planer bit are you using at the end?

[JTMarlin8]

Nice work, how much did the machine cost you to build?

[JumpingCaRpEt29]

Wow that is so awesome. I fell in love with the CNC mill in high school and I'll build one like this someday, you'll see!

[dominiquechalifoux]

very interesting to watch, but I think you should remove the music, it just takes away from the video

[yuriharrison]

Hi, I would like to do a project similar...Build a cnc. how much it cost, and can you send you project to me?

[wmivey]

Very nice job! Way out of my league. Do you hire out to do guitar bodies from glued up blanks?

[chesshirecat2]

niicee

[larryjones84]

great work, Im really interested how u made a cnc router

[afxgrin]

Heh CNC Music Factory?

[janovewaldner1]

Nice one!!! hehehe

[silentbob54321]

What kind of bit is that at 7:15 ?

[hueysito]

increible!!!!! :)

[gushavoc]

Don't suppose, you could forward some plans?

Excellent machine.

[GaryVolts]

Awesome video! Great choice of music. Answered some CNC questions I had just by watching.

[lilors1984]

muito bom!

fantastico!!!

[bait2me]

haydn812,

I love your cnc! absolutely amazing. Is it possible to get your plans to this machine? I really want to try to build my own cnc as I cannot afford a factory built model. Please contact me if you are willing to share.

Thanks!

[slausonm]

Very Nice! I just posted a video of my router. I may have to upgrade a few things after seeing your video. I have about $2000 tied up in mine, but it isn't as quick as yours. What is your work envelop? Mine is using 55" rails on X anY anf 12" on Z. I intend to use mine to make guitar bodies with students.

[davi200]

I see that you are driving the gantry in the X axis with a single ballscrew shaft mounted in the center underneath the table. Is there any problem with yaw (clockwise/counterclockwise rotation as viewed from above) of the gantry with that setup? Do you think it would have been better to drive it with a ball screw on each long side of the bed? Planning my own CNC plasma machine, so that's why I ask. Great vid by the way!

[haydn812]

No problem with yaw (or crabbing), it depends on the spacing of the x axis carriages. Two screws can cause twice as many problems as one, not many commercial machines use two screws. If your building a plasma then you certainly wont need two screws as the load on the gantry is minimal.

[jeetendrag10]

hi haydn,

where do you get those supported linear bearings in uk/ireland?how much do they cost?

my relatives are in uk and ireland,i could get them to ship it to me if i get some ifo where to get them

[toffanelloguitars]

do you sell it ??

can you make one for me ?

[Baraquiel62]

How much would cust this machine?

[haydn812]

£2000 to build approx

[CipollaErMeyo]

wow PRS style body!!!

[woodworky]

Very good work. I have a CNC made out of wood and would like to make improvements to stiffen the structure. Is it possible to have all the structural drawings to build one like yours?

I would greatly appreciate.

Thanks,

[bodthemod69]

the way your post go,s with the music is amazing

you should send this to the chemical brothers

you could be the first CNC video artist.

[SimonVThomsen]

can i get the cad droning ?

[schnurr31]

that is so cool! hah how much do these cost?

[thkro20]

amazing!

[isaacnd200]

sweet

[oakphisto]

Yo, Nice machine and very impressive rapid speeds, I,ve just finished testing my motor's using mach3. What spec's are your pc to run the router, I,ve just added up the costs of finishing my machine using c5 ballscrews and hiwin linear rails and a can't see much change from £3000. Can you give us a rough idea of your total costs?

[haydn812]

£2K with some good fortune on ebay and a cheap supply of steel

[oakphisto]

Just wondering what type of spindle you used i.e. acme with bronze bush or ballscrews also whats your picth of thread. What are your drivers microstepping?

[haydn812]

Ballscrews. X&Y 10mm pitch, Z 5mm pitch. Drives are Gecko 201 with 10x microstepping. See my other video (the long one) for more info.

[rakmond]

technology ay, marvelous, nice demo brother.

[BenTwisted]

Sweet. I want one.

[GaryGarrett]

Excellent! THANKS!

[richluvsellie]

why poplar, is it softer on the bits

[haydn812]

Poplar as it was the first of this model cut on the machine. Still a decent tone wood though.

[dawson452000]

This is awesome! Question, though: what did you use to program the mill? Did you do it with old-school G-Code, or did you use a CAD/CAM package, such as Solidworks and MasterCAM to generate the toolpaths? Or none of the above?

[brandon9271]

I'd like to know this myself!  It seems most guitar makers use RhinoCam or MasterCam

[Bygde]

awesome!

[sha4096]

amazing !

[Lieutenantsexmachine]

This is sick man! have you done all that by

yourself? you must have a lot of free time. I work with cnc machines in Sweden so I know what you've benn through by building this equipment. Realy realy impressed. great

[niknokmanok]

where are u here in UK mate?

how much do u charge to cnc a guitar neck and body?

cheers!

[jpal8211]

Great job with the CNC. A few questions. What kind of steppers are you using, and what materials did you use for the gantry? Thanks and great job again.

[haydn812]

Steppers are Rex Industries RHT 640 from Homeshopcnc in the US. The gantry is steel box section 70x40x4, the uprights are 80x80x4 aluminium extrusion, I will replace these with steel at some point for increased rigidity.

[feki00]

Awesome job man!!! How long does it take to finish the gitar body?

[haydn812]

If you mean machining time it took 20mins to machine front and back including control cavity etc not shown in the video.

[loupette]

ce que j'aime bien c'est la machine qui a plusieurs embouts est-ce une défonceuse? pas mal pour la guitare

[enchlot2]

pretty ballin' can you make me a guitar?

[kallahan11]

pretty sweet, how was it built?

[haydn812]

Blood sweat and tears! Too long to go into here!
