I cringe when he uses pliers to change bits.

[shortattentionspan1]

me too ..... why why why do people not use the right tools???

[alcurb]

Pliers! Hammer!  Suction!

[stevethul1]

I'm going to throw away my chuck wrench and buy me one of those Pliers for my Dremel, looks like it works great for the tiny drill and router bits...

How much does it cost to set up a cnc machine like this?

[therealnetgrazer]

@spider2021 PLEASE stop writing "of" when you mean "have".

You're right about etching out enough to provide clearance, though.

[darkgt1983]

ma ogni volta devi fa l'azzeramento utensile? ma comprarsi un tastatore no è, cmq se vuoi un consiglio prenditi un mandrino ad alta frequenza perche quelli sono piu indicati per le cnc.

Don't get me wrong but

1000 people were born in the time it took for you to mill that board,

my son fall asleep,

our cat had kittens.

And now I'm deaf.

It gives his third hand something to do

[Ultrasonictwo]

WOW i can't understand why he changes his bit every 5 seconds ?

He could save so much work if he just used the smallest 2-3 flute end mill to do everything ?

[spider2021]

Nice work, only thing is I might of etch out the entire board, if your solder i a little sloppy it could cross onto the blank copper part and might bridge a connection with another solder point. I would just took all the copper part that is not used and etch it right off the board so no mistakes would of happened.

Still quite nice.
