Welcome to my channel Cazual Haze.
If you are wondering it’s a nickname from my college days, a lifetime ago now.
I have spent my whole life tinkering I started with Lego then moved onto a bit of woodwork and finally in my twenties I bought a second hand metalworking lathe. It turned out to be broken so it got replaced with a new one a small Hobby mat. That was thirty years in the past, now I have a small workshop with several machines and a forgiving family, thankfully.
I trained in electronics but have always had a passion for metal working. I find tech stuff fascinating and still get a kick out of taking a pile of bits and turning them into something else, hopefully useful!
Over the years I have built too many things to list but this channel is just for fun Please feel free to head over to my website :casualhaze.com where you can download plans etc.
Take care please be safe I am not responsible for your errors.

In this less than thrilling instalment I resurrect my old CNC router. After two years leaning against a wall its time to put it on its new desk and get the old girl running again. It was in pretty poor nick so as you will see needed a lot of TLC. But she came good in the end, enjoy.

Can You Make a Glass Touch probe Stylus?
Hi, Yes using a latching relay would work fine and will not be affected by electrical noise. If you need it faster use a reed relay. The workshop is looking fantastic and it has been CAT scanned. Cheers Dave.
All interesting stuff - will look forward to the progress
Cheers
With a two second slowdown on the motor I'd expect to see broken endmills instead of chewed up clamps, as the motor stops spinning fast enough to cut.
@fredmercury1314 thanks for the comment yes that is what should happen. I think it might be good to change the vfd to one with an external brake resistor that could then stop the spindle and possibly save the cutter after all they are pretty expensive. More to come on this in the next video I hope. Cheers
Whilst its possible to construct a latch using a relay, relays tend to be slow and its much easier to use electronics. CMOS logic especially the early 4000 series which will operate from 12V is much simpler. An open drain or a tristate buffer or even a simple diode can interface to the estop input which likely includes its own pullup resistor. With a latch some means of resetting the latch is required. It may be simpler to use a retriggerable monostable to stretch the pulses long enough for the software to detect them. No reset input is required. Using a shielded wire will also help. Using a lower resistance pullup resistor may also be useful.
@brucegriffiths8861 thanks Bruce that is exactly what I was thinking of doing however being a lazy bugger I have bought an arduino. I know that’s complete overkill but there is a little sense in it. When you crash the tool and it all goes into estop the axis are frozen so the only way to clear the fault is to turn off and move the axis by hand. An arduino lets me have a reset button to hold off the estop temporarily. It also allows me to add more functions in the future. I hope this makes sense and thanks for the comment cheers.
@@CazualHaze You still have the short pulse detection issue with an arduino unless there's built in hardware to either stretch or latch on a short input pulse.. An FPGA would be more flexible but there's a steep associated learning curve and you need to devise suitable protection from 12V inputs and a suitable (discrete?) high voltage (>12V) open collector or open drain output device.
Thanks Bruce I agree with you I think the code will only be thirty odd lines long so it should cycle through damn fast with an 16M clock and 4M per instruction. Not done the maths yet. I could also use the interrupt function so it’s effectively just the interrupt service routine that will slow it down. I will connect the bed isolated plane to the 5v from the arduino so should not need much protection ( possibly a 5.6v zener) to protect against spikes. It did also occur to me to use a potential divider with say five to one ratio and connect it to the analog pin so I could detect a spike or a short and put into e stop. What do you think? Cheers
Great video, catch you soon take care
Thanks for coming cheers
What about running probes of the side of the router so they are your connection point instead of the cutting blade? It would be further away than the cutter but could give e-stop connectivity in the same way. 🤔
Hi @YourNowOnTV yes you could do that perhaps the dust shoe could have metal bristles that could work very well. Great comment cheers.
One question. How do you plan to surface your spoil board if the inserts are not sufficiently recessed? From the looks of it in the video, it appears that the inserts are just barely below the top surface.
@philshel1 the inserts are indeed quite shallow. I did not want them penetrating the board to stop chips falling through. There was not time on this video but I have some mdf to use as a spoil board which is easy to surface and cheap to replace. Cheers
I’m so glad that Planet CNC is making the measurement/calibration of the probe automatically. You only need a 20€ 30mm calibration ring and a script will do all calculations.
That’s interesting I have had a look at planet CNC’s website and can’t find any information about it. Sounds like a really great idea. I hope to revisit this project I have some ideas I would like to try out. I am tied up with my new workshop probably until the new year. Cheers
@@CazualHaze yeah you have to turn the probe 180* one time and it figures out how off center the probe is too. It’s a great controller software. Gantry squaring, a lot of probe scripts, tool wear compensation, backlash compensation etc.
I’ll take a closer look at it I need a new controller for my old laser cutter Cheers
I'm assuming this is a 6090 unit. I got rid of my 6040 as it was too small but must admit the 6090 looks a decent size. Are you going to upgrade to Mach3 or UCCNC? I'm in the process of upgrading my Syil to UCCNC as the spindle controller had an intermittent fault and stopped the spindle for a split second whilst the axes carried on!! Good vid and shows how poorly these things are put together.....
Hi yep it’s a 6090 all now works well the bed upgrade is coming along well. No plans to upgrade but I will with my laser cutter when I get that far. I had looked at Masso but it’s quite expensive. I think uccnc is probably best bang for buck! Cheers
Jealous isn't the work, nicely done, nicely explained and detailed 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Coming along well, catch you in the next one
Cheers Shaun

by making both fan blow out, you will suck inn all dust, the best idea is to have 2 fans inn with filter, 1 out, so that you create positive pressure inside the box, that will make the air blow out of holes and groves that might be around.
Good point I haven’t thought about that. Being a lazy bugger I know what will happen. It will get left until it’s so full of dirt that it fails then I’ll clean it out and fix it!
Nice, just watched the construction video of your workshop, great job. I need to replace my aging garage with leaking asbestos roof. Did you draw up the plans yourself or did you purchase them online?
Hi Mike I did all the design, you don’t need to have full drawings but you may need to comply with building regs that’s where the fun starts. That entails a heap of maths to show it won’t fall down. It’s best to ring your planning department and have a chat! A garage may well be within permitted development and or replacement so you may be good to do whatever you need. Good luck with your project. Cheers
good afternoon, im about to be building a garage, unsure on if i should use wood or brick, i'm trying to work it within permitted development being 30m2 in internal size, cost differences what would you consider?
Tough question I am considering the same question as you. I hope to do some work on my house, wood is cheaper no bricklayer needed but won’t last as long as brick! I six months when I’ve finished with the architect I could let you know! Cheers
@@CazualHaze thank you for the response, my first time doing any building style work and wanting to keep it as simple, safe and effective as possible, first time buyer and really into working on my cars so want a nice tidy space for that exactly!
@@billysmith5168 Good luck you should get a garage in 30m2!
This time I'll use woodprix instructions to make it by my hand :)
useful kit mate
Thanks 👍
Hi, Add filters to the air 'entry' as you are bound to have dust whilst routing. Are you able to add braking resistors to the inverter? - although I'm not sure you could brake the spindle motor. I've done it on my lathe but I think the spindle motor works differently (?) Nice job!
Hi Matt, checked today there is an internal brake resistor no terminals for an external one. Still thinking over the filter I have a sheet of mesh used for microphones but cannot find it anywhere. Cheers
With that probe and a DIY rectifying machine I believe you could make your Mill so much accurate.
Cheers keep watching I think I can do better!
Super FKN entertaining video, work well documented and the whole process shown. Love you mofo!
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice router bench, good solid build, it should take the weight no problem, it blends in well with you workbench. As always a great video take care
Cool, thanks!
Don't suppose you could do an addendum to this video n see if you're able to harden n temper your original sleeves/collets just to see if the metal isn't as soft as solder ( as it looked to be when you test filed it ) TIA
@cherhanamiya1 that's a thought I still have them ill do my best at giving it a go. Cheers
Hi Did you manage to make a Video about trying to Harden the Original Collet/sleeves? I'm on fire ti see if you created the video n also to find out the results prior to buying one of these particular Pocket hoke jig, as I've not got a lathe, to make new collects unlike yourself. Best Regards
@@cherhanamiya1 Hi not made video as yet tied up with another video at the moment. I will get there bear with me, my gut feeling though is they wont harden. Cheers
The verticals are studs 😊but I’m sure you know that!
Thanks I did but but my um, err, oh, memory that's it gets stuck! Cheers
This is Fantasic, what was the final cost and do you have plans this is exactly what i want
Hi Tom, No plans as such just a bunch of calculations. Apparently you don’t need full drawings for this just calculations to show it’s up to building regulations. Look at the comments I put a list of the spreadsheets etc together for someone else that may help you. I would suggest you speak to your planning department they will help you. Cheers
Your using the wrong drill bit on your pocket hole jig, the correct bit has a long shank with the cutting edge on the end. I purchased a jig at harbor freight and it came with the correct bits. With the correct bit there are no cutting flutes, so you don't cut up your guide
Thanks for this I had no idea that’s the power of the internet. The new bushes are holding up well I do think the drills are a little bit crap so I will keep an eye out for the fluteless version. Cheers
So Hard finding a channel that is enjoyable. I live 5 hours from Jasper. No mention of the Beef or scenery eh? Anyways your a keeper, you show your mistakes quite candidly, not too much talking, a little funny, even Monty Python humor is a little hard for me. Great vids, thanks.
Cheers thanks for the comment. I have to say Canada is such a beautiful country I have been a couple of times and Vancouver is one of my favourite cities. You have a lovely country!
Brilliant video as always!! Whst was thr proce difference between this snd the tremd and kreg pocket hole jigs?? Hope all is well, take care
I paid around £40 for this I think around half the price of a “good make”. Cheers
@@CazualHaze thanks for the info!! Hope you have a good weekend, take care
Great job a lot better than the original, you made a ok tool in to a quality tool, Great video Take care
Thanks, you too!
Great demo 👍 quick question, why are the three holes not equally spaced? the middle one is offset. Cheers Ian
Good question! I don’t know but guessed it’s for different widths of woods Cheers
@@CazualHaze oh yeah, never thought of that! Seeing you drill three holes made me think it was for three holes only.
Man you have a lathe, why are you using a ruler to measure your dimensions ????
I really don’t know I don’t have a dro on the lathe yet! Cheers
it is called OSB here in the states as well
Thanks for letting me know Cheers

That is just stunning, you gripped me from the first minute of the build, well done sir. Shed envy Look forward to the next one Im the same age as you and loved your humour 😂
Awesome, thank you! More videos on the way Cheers
That turned out very nice, but no matter how long the work bench is, it is never long enough!!! 😂 Cheers Ian
Never enough horizontal surfaces!! the more space the more crap you can get on them! Cheers
That is a nice workbench, and I've enjoyed the build, I be afraid to use it. looks a decent laser tape measure, great video
Glad you like it, not to worry I will bugger it up at some point its inevitable! Cheers
Great to see a Brit making something! I'm going to have a crack at making my own building to store my massive record collection (over 20k vinyl & 12k cd's). I need to find a stock of "um" and "er" though since you've used the entire UK stock on your commentary lol.
Cheers, you made me giggle. I find myself talking to myself its not until you start editing and hear yourself you realise just how bad your English is. As we say in Norfolk u hev yerselv a good ole day boi.
Great job. Suggestion - you don't need backing music - the narration by itself and sound of work being done is fine. The music just distracts.
Point taken. My background is TV so Its so hard for me to not add music its the norm and still is. The other issue is a lot of the footage is recorded as a time-lapse and is mute which is truly horrible to listen to or do I mean not listen too? Cheers for the comment I will try to make the music lighter, a more subtle in level perhaps?
Brilliant. Looking forward to the next one.
Coming soon! Cheers
What a superb build. Looking forward to seeing it finished. I'm about the same age as you and, to be honest, I don't think I could manage something like that solo, so kudos to you for that. Thanks for posting.
Thanks @triplex86 it took a lot of work but its definitely worth it. Hitting 60 next year and starting on the house! must be mad?
I've just turned 40, and think my body would give in before I even had the walls raised! I am honestly very jealous; having such a space (especially in the UK) is a dream!
@cyntax_error Thanks for the comment still pinching myself I got this far! Cheers
I don't see the concrete settling when you insert the tool.
Hi @randallsemrau6911 yep I agree I think the problem is it fires forward and backward I found several adapters for drills where the weight is spun. This makes it vibrate sideways. I must have ago at it and see the difference. Cheers
@@CazualHaze I congratulate you on attempting this. We seem to have a similar mindset regarding these things!
