Did you have to creep up the dovetail cuts until they fit like you wanted, or is it as simple as just letting it do its' thing? Were you able to do the mortises with CNC also?
Great video. But I have a question - my understanding of JointCAM is for through dovetails, it requires both pin board and tail board to be mounted vertically. How did you manage this for your long side pieces?
I built my CNC to include a pass through to the floor, and I just barely had enough vertical clearance to mount the side pieces vertically in my CNC -- they were 48" long and my CNC can just barely clear 50" from the ground to the end of the bit.
The design phase would be interesting to see how to make best use of the tooling. When I watched the video, I thought that the way Noah laid out the project (eg surfacing the boards and cutting matching pieces from the glue-up) made best use of the material and the machine itself. Any tips on what features to look for in a CNC would be helpful as well since I expect not all allow for vertical milling with Joint Cam. Cheers
I have seen a few dovetail cnc videos now, that has got to be the cleanest end fit I have seen yet though. If you were wanting to cut diagonal slot doves in bamboo laminate in either a 12mm or 16mm board. (to slot angled shelves into place for a kooky look) What bits would you recommend? I am finding an awful lot of different types of bits everything from 8 degree to 20 or more degree bits and I have no idea even what brands to trust.
Great stuff I’m interested to learn how much it would cost in £ to set this whole thing up including software /cutters /rental of workspace in a large city all machinery etc just a ballpark will do... thanks
I'm sorry we really cannot answer that, CNC machines start at 2,000 and go up to 50,000, plus software, tooling, rental space pricing varies. You could try a CNC forum for better advice :)
The CNC operator who made this video is really talented and I just wish he could have slowed diwn, & passed on that knowledge to people who want to learn how to do what he can do. It was too fast and not step by step and basically is a great shown of his own skill and of what can be done if you di know what you are doing. but it was of no use to myself as a person wanting to also learn how to make dovetail joints. I now know its possible but I wouldnt have a clue how to do it myself. Video assumes a competent CAD CAM user and is not at all for a beginner.

How sad. I am desperate to learn this stuff but you go too fast and assume the watcher knows what to do especialy with the fusion 360 and cam software. If you could slow it down and make it step by step please. You are somclever and I am very impressed and want to learn how to do this but Really this only wood help someone who was already ppretty good with a CNC router and fusion 360. Bugger another video showimg me what can be done but nkt teaching me how to do it. 😟
Thanks for your comment, we did take into consideration this video is not actually a how-to video with step by step, please try to search UA-cam for further instructs. Sorry we could not be of more help.
Nice job! Would have loved to see more of that vertical board placement into the CNC.

Do we really need to use clamps when using dovetails and wood glue (4:12) ?
Yes to ensure it is 100% firm and tight. Thanks.
i havent seen any videos in stepcraft for setups of its vertical milling
A must have!!

Beautiful
Thank you!
The dovetails were cut into wood pieces that were clamped vertically. Which CNC machine was used? What other machines are capable of this?
The CNC machine was custom built, and we created a jig to hold the dovetails.
Was this audio recorded right after Robert Johnson finished his session?
Very nice! 🇬🇧
Thanks!
Unfortunately Too fast for me to learn how to do anything - but wow you make it look so easy!
Well done video and well explained. Now I want to go cut some dovetails!
Now that you're inspired, fire up that CNC !!
This video was very good so thank you. If it's possible to make further videos on the process it would be much appreciated.
Thank you JustCrusin109! Which elements / process would you like to see in future videos?

nice dovetail , but what happen on 2:25 ?
That was the final cut, and it was programmed it to run off rather than just pull up and stop.

Cool and very detailed video
Thanks !
Thanks @ezshua !
Epic
Thanks a lot.
Nice video thank you.
Thank you Dave!

Hi. We will try to slow down some future videos and do more step by step. Thank you.
Informative video but Left channel audio only is distracting and nauseating through headphones; thanks for the video though.
Thanks for the comment! We will check that left channel audio next time :) Glad you liked the video :)
Pro tip: Put your voive in the center AKA mono
Wow
nasty mono audio only on leaft ear
Zwhat is that a 4 x 4 cnc.

Hi, may I ask you what program did you use to draw the dovetails? Thanks.
