Perfect for me to start building my table setup…thanx Garrett…with a small shop space is critical and this will work perfectly.
MikeTalbot-ho8ii, That's great to hear! I'm glad the setup will work well for your small shop space. Enjoy building your table!
This is my second or third time watching this. I took notes this time as my shop build is coming to an end. I need electricity run to it and my climate control installed. In the meantime, I can cut 2x4s in the cold. Next week!! 😂 Now... onto Sketchup to make my plans so I can figure out how much wood I need and my cut lists!
Hi Michael. You just gave me an idea. I can put together a cut list for this.
Glad to see I am not the only one that leaves bit on the table top..:)
Lol. You are not alone......
This video was very informative and helpful. Now that I know the dimensions I can get the table built and ready for when my LongMill CNC system gets here.
Noel, you are off to the races now brother! I am excited for you to get your Longmill.
Thanks, will start my build this weekend. Long I’ll arrives on Wednesday.
Awesome. Send a picture of your setup after you get the machine put on it.
Another pile of pre-purchase questions answered. Thanks Garrett.
Happy to help Terry! Glad to see that you got the information you needed from this video brother.
I am ordering the 30x48 next week. Thank you for sharing you knowledge.
Jim
Hi Jim. Well, this is exciting! Welcome to the club. Be sure to let me know when you order it so I can do the happy dance for you!
Mine is on the way! ...bought the limit switches too. Pretty excited!
Well, Kevin. Catching up with your messages. Thank you for commenting on the various videos. I can see you are totally excited. that gets me excited. You have to tell me when that bad boy arrives. Promise?
I just found what my next project is - or the first one when my shop build is done, hopefully a day or three before my LongMill arrives!!!! Thanks, Garrett! #2 will be buying the spoilboard file!!!
Oh Michael, now you got me hanging! What is the project?
Garrett, I am kinda modeling my table after your design, simply because it makes sense. I am putting mine on wheels so I can store it in a corner and pull it out for cleaning or maintenance if necessary. My shop is a tiny little 12' x 16' shed, so space is critical for me. Between this and my table saw, I don't have a LOT of room left over, but everything IS on wheels to make it easier for storage. I am also putting a shelf at the bottom for whatever...and I think I will build a drawer or two underneath for storage. I'll send a pic when it is done!!!
Mr. P, awesome! I like your thinking of how to make the most out of your space. Be sure to send over those pics, I'd love to see!
Thank you Garrett, as always very good video.
Lorne, you're welcome my friend! Glad to help!
Got what I needed. Thank you, Garrett. Ordering soon the 40x48. I am getting there.
Davidw, right on brother! Keep working hard and learning everything you can. I am excited for you to get your machine.
Hi Garrett Building a table has been a topic i have been watching many videos on. Your measurement are on point. Looking forward to viewing all your workshop tutorials. Thank again.
Hi Classic. There are so many table ideas out there, it can get confusing. I just said the hell with it and built a table my way.
Garrett, nice set up. It is easy to go too small but difficult to go too big.
Hey Paul. It's even harder to build small for something bigger than what you built...I think that made sense...
Thanks for making these videos Garrett! I so appreciate you going into so much detail to help us new CNC folks dive into this hobby. I’m waiting on my new 48”x30” with laser to arrive. Hopefully I’ll see it in 2 weeks. I can’t wait!
Marty, you are so welcome my friend. Congrats on your new CNC! I am excited to see what you create.
Thank you for all the guidance! I'm building a table almost exactly like yours right now. I'm building my table a little taller because I'm a little on the taller side and I can't stand all the counter tops and tables that I regularly use being positioned so near to the ground. I've used urinals positioned higher than the countertops in my house. I'm trying at least 34 inches tall, but we'll see. My workbenches are 36" high, and they're about perfect. Thank you again for all the suggestions and guidance. Love your videos!
David, thanks for the kind words! I could see how annoying that would be! I don't think I've ever been more grateful to be averaged height brother! You've definitely shifted my perspective LOL. Definitely make your workbench the height that's best for you brother! Keep up the good work!
My table is very similar, but I put a shelf on the bottom for the vac, and a switch panel at the lower left, for the controls (computer, longmill, router, and the vac). Good video!
Hey Oz. Yes, I definitely want to put a switch for the vacuum on the table
As always, very nice and informative. I finished my table yesterday. Machine unboxing today! YES! .
WOOHOO!!! I can't wait to see the first project!
Thanks for the great video. Just finishing the workshop, grateful for ideas on the table for the cnc😁
Hey Dan. There are so many ways to build a table. So what is your table plan?
@@IDCWoodcraft
Somthing like yours but with storage under as in uk space is a problem.. .
I ordered my long mill last week and enjoyed your build video. As always you do a Great job.
Hi David. Hi David. Congrats on taking the plunge! you are about to have new addiction! thanks for the compliment regarding the videos.
Thanks for the information The LongMill should ship Monday. Table 50% complete Will finist tomorrow.
Lawrence, make sure you send a picture of the completed assembly on that new table!
Very informative Garrett. That would work for most of the machines in that size range to. Thanks for the heads up!
Hey Mark. Maybe I should change the title to CNC table build since you are right about that.
Thank you for the added information. It has given me a good starting point. Thanks again. All your videos are very helpful. Keep up the good work.
Hi Dwayne. You are welcome!
Great informative video for the table size and computer setup. Very nicely done. Thank you for sharing this with us from Henrico County Virginia
Norm, glad you enjoyed it! I'm excited for you to build yours now brother!
Very helpful video Garrett. It was really good information for me with a new LongMill MK2 on the way. It definitely got my head churning with ideas and thinks to consider. I also appreciate you sharing where you went wrong too with not getting the LongMill perfectly square in the beginning. That will keep me and others from making the same mistake!
Thanks Greg! My pleasure.
Hi Greg. Isn't it interewsting how important it is to show mistakes? It shows others how things go wrong and how to fix them. I never thought that was something that would be useful before.
@@IDCWoodcraft It really is interesting Garrett. I think there are a few things that make your videos so helpful, but I will mentioned two: First, you go through every single step along the way in a process; no skipping, no glossing over things, and often you will even throw in extra tidbits like "while you are doing this step, you might also want to think about .... Second, you film your videos in real world situations, like what all of us are going to run into. "Oh, I forgot to recalculate that toolpath, or I forgot to save that setting after changing it." That's real life and it makes it much more personable and relatable than a carefully orchestrated video of perfection. And when that mistake is something we are likely to make as well, then it is a total win-win!
@@gregsettle1581 thanks for that feedback. It's nice to know that imperfection is actually something people like, because it is real world. It's never as easy as many make it look.
Just built my new table for cnc #2 30x30 longmill. I went with 48 x48 table. Will build a kicker off the side to mount the electronics.
Send me a picture! Do tell... What inspired you to get the longmill over the other machines?
@@IDCWoodcraft 100% truthfully it was your videos / reviews that made my decision to go with a longmill. That's how I went and bought my Bob's cnc evolution 4 back when covid hit. Bob is still my main machine. I just carved 300 drink coasters and about 200 signs so far. I'm at the point of wiring my longmill and cant find info yet for the limit sensors... just wat jedi the rest of the videos of the work to finish up the longmill and taking a break from it for a day or so.
Hi! Really like your videos, I’m looking for my first CNC machine, looking to do wood working such as signs, cutting boards etc. After watching some of your videos I’m starting to think long Mill 30x30 is the way to go!
Hi Jordan. It is a confusing world out there when it comes to CNC machines. I did a ton of research before I got the Longmill. I created some other videos about it you might be interested in as you decide on which machine to get.
This link will download all the videos I've created and they are sorted. I think you'll find it useful for your entire learning process. Here's the link → ua-cam.com/video/tykj6Nn-ysM/v-deo.html
Can you do me a favor if you decide on the Longmill? Can you use the link I provide? It'll give me a little pocket change. Thank you.
I like the laptop stand
Thanks Grant. Haven't seen you in a couple weeks here. How are things?
CNC Routers, Beginners & Beyond - Garrett Fromme . All good here! I am busy building my 12x16 shed for CNC work ! Insulation is next! I am enjoying your videos on my down time. I am starting to carve teak wood. Teak has some unique properties!
@@grantpeckford2035 send some pictures. I'd love to see what you're doing
I added leveling castors so I can level the table or on a nice day roll it to a different area to use. Dust collection moves with it.
Ralphtate, that sounds like the perfect setup brother!
@@IDCWoodcraft I am planning on ordering my longmill towards the end of October. I’ll go through your site to help you out!
Thanks for your in depth information. If I built an extended 48 x 48 machine how would I go about building a flat top for it and what dimension would you recommend 76 × 64?
Greg, for the 48X30 extended machine, I would recommend a table top size of 48"x78". Even at that size you will have a very sturdy table if you follow along to this video brother!
How tall is the hose boom from the table top? Thanks and great videos.
Charles, its about 3 feet brother!
Hi Garrett. Amazed by the level of detail and explanation dedicated to all of your videos. If I build a table similar to the one you made and added some casters so I can move it around, do you think the vibrations from the CNC router will impact any of the routing being performed? Thanks!
Antonio, glad you like the videos brother! I don't think you would have much problems with that but be sure to get the casters that lock!
Hi Garrett, Do you have any table plans/videos for the Longmill MK 48"x30? Thanks
Joel, not yet brother but the table for the 48x30 is like this but just a bit longer!
I built a table like that for some people, it was 5ft by 8ft and 42in high. One of the person claimed he was a wood worker and that the table would not be strong enough. He threw himself into the table and it did not move (at all). He got mad and walked away. I laughed at him. He did not talk to me for the rest of the night. I am always willing to learn something new. Weather I can make it work for me is a different story, but I try.
Hi Esside. Isn't it funnyhow an ego can get so destroyed when it is way too big. Nice job on the table. We know how to build em, definitely.
Hi dear Garrett hope you'r well, one thing I'd like to know about which is better the water cooling router spindle or the air cooling router spindle . Thanks
The water cooled is much more efficient for cooling, but it requires a bit more maintenance. My preference is the air cooled
Is it possible for you to make a video on making a large wood waving flag?
evone9141, no problem brother I have one that i think you'll find helpful! Here's the link if you want to take a look:ua-cam.com/video/l6E64E3d5FY/v-deo.htmlsi=kCQtyZBiPZpep4lB
Garrett thank you so much for the video it was very timely I received my longmoll a couple of weeks ago have ordered the dedicated laptop just now getting ready to start building the table thanks for all your time and effort I enjoy all of your content! You asked for suggestions on future videos Im interested in doing a longer project than the table allows for have you ever dealt with the tile aspect of the curve pro?
Hi Kevin. This is an exciting time for you. Amazing creations are around the corner!
I do not have tiling videos available yet. I will be working on them shortly to help with that. thanks for reinforcing the need for such a video.
Do you recommend casters on these tables? I've seen yes and no - where I'm installing mine I'm concerned it will be too hard to move without casters (it's going into a garage)
Preston, I am leaning towards no because you might see some inaccuracy in your cuts during rapid movements. Its another axis that isn't constrained properly and could lead to errors in your cuts. You could get wood dollies to move the CNC around your garage.
Ive decided the long mill 30x30 is gonna be my next upgrade. Fox alien has done me well but a 3k price tag on the vasto xxl seems a touch high. Longmill provides a more barebones aesthetic and price friendly so its got me hooked so far! Gonna go all out with the limit switches too. I do have a question on the switches though, wouldnt it be better to have one on each end of the x and y vs only on one side?🤔
Hi Jason. You only need limit switches on one side. The purpose of them is to set the home position of the machine.
Can you do me a favor? When you order your machine, can you use the links I provide? That will give me a little pocket change. Also let me know when you order it so I can verify. Thank you
@@IDCWoodcraft sure thing brother!
@@IDCWoodcraft my concern with the limit switches was to know the limit in both directions. Unless the 30x30 spoilboard becomes the guide for that?🤔
Cnc machine maestro
Jujhar, thanks!
Hello, I'm a big fan. I've watched many of your videos and they are very inspiring. I was wondering if you have plans for redirecting the down blowing force of the router?
I have a dust boot that we direct the air. You never see it because I'm shooting videos. Those things get in the way of videos
@CNC Routers, Beginners & Beyond - Garrett Fromme could you please make a short video about it? I need to make one for my longmill. Thanks, happy new year 🎉
@@thebunnyluvr I don't really make short videos. I will when I get the design redone.
Excellent review. Looks like an awesome machine. When I click on your link it takes me to different model than the one you reviewed. Can’t seem to find that model available anywhere.
Hey Tommy. They upgraded the model. It's called the MK2. Here's the link → bit.ly/3JQx3BB
@@IDCWoodcraft Thank you for getting back to me so soon. Also want to thank you for all the great content you produce. Wish I'd seen this video before I bought my Foxalien 4040 XE. Wasn't sure if that was a different model altogether as it looks different. When I'm able to upgrade I'll definitely check your content to see what you're recommending.
Off topic a bit, but is there a spindle available for this machine? One, available or recommended by Sienci Labs?
Mark, there isn't a spindle available from them as of yet. I've known others who have put spindles on their machines. Personally, I don't find this necessary since it runs great with the hand router and is really designed for it!
Where is the best place to purchase a 30 x 30 longmill router
Patrick, the best way is to buy from the company directly. The only thing I ask is you use this link. It gives me some pocket change back when you pick yours up. Here's the link: sienci.com/product/longmill-mk2/?ref=IDCWOODCRAFT
Hello I’m really torn between the 30x30 and the 30x48
With your 30x30 do you find any limitations for most projects. It’s totally a space issue as the larger machine needs a 78”x48”
I have a full shop and running out of room
Thank you
davidshockley6972, it really depends on what you are looking to make brother! One big bonus with the longmill is you can start with the 30x30 and upgrade your machine to the 30x48 later.
I am building my table and spoilboard ahead of the delivery of my 30x30. Can you tell me the actual width of the LongMill leg. I am estimating 4 3/8 from your video but I am not sure. Thanks in advance
BrucePinnock, The LongMill leg is actually about 4 inches wide. It's great that you're getting everything prepped ahead of time! Happy building!
Thanks for the response @@IDCWoodcraft
How did you make sure the top was flat?
Hey tangobayus, great question! There's lots of ways you can do this, the best way is to get an I beam level and put a set of feeler gauges underneath it to measure flatness. If it's not flat you can shim the underside of the table to make it flat. After that, I would mount the spoilboard and surface it. Then, the spoilboard will be parallel to the cutting surface in all areas and you are ready to cut! Hope this helps!
@@IDCWoodcraft Would it make sense to use steel 2x3 or 2x4 on possibility they would be better than wood? Or angle aluminum. Maybe make the top of 2 layers of 1/2" plywood and shim the top piece. (The grain would be turned 90 deg.)
@@tangobayus @tangobayus The good thing about steel is it won't react to environmental changes in humidity and temperature. I don't particularly like to use plywood, unless you're using birch ply. You may want to consider sealing it as well. That will help with environmental changes as well. Hope all that helps
👍👍👍
Brave Heart, Im glad you liked this table build my man.
Hey Garrett, love your videos, sir.
Wanted to reach out regarding the 30x30 MK2.
I purchased mine a few months ago and just received it probably 3 weeks ago and with all other projects I’ve been working on, I’m just getting to it. I currently have my table built and am in the process of adding my spoilboard to the surface now. My table dimensions came out to 48” deep
45” wide
& I believe I am at 36” tall (with the spoilboard)
I elected to mount a 3/4” piece of plywood for the top, with a 3/4” sheet of MDF on top of that, with another layer of 3/4” MDF strips and Ttracks…. Is this overkill or an issue/concern ?
I appreciate your help and any advice!
Thanks
Hey Ryan, sorry for the delayed response it's been a busy week! Congrats on getting your machine and getting your table set up! I don't see any issues with your planned setup, it sounds like a great set up to me brother! Happy cutting!
Kinda off the subject, when you"pause" a project, can you change a speed and then continue with the changes? 🥺
Hey cow man. No, you can change the feed, but you can change the spped on the router. Make sense?
@@IDCWoodcraft CAN'T change feed, CAN change router speed! Damn straight! 👍
Do you recommend the 30 x30 over the 30 x 48 longmill ?
It really depends on the size of projects you're looking to make. If you need the extra cutting area, I'd go with the 30 x 48!
Which one do you prefer that longmill or a bobs evo 4?
Longmill by a mile. Much stronger. Are you considering getting a CNC machine?
Curious - what is the height of the laptop and monitor stands? How high is the hose stand?
Hi John, not quit sure that I understand your question. The Longmill doesn't include a stand for a laptop/monitor or vacuum hose. Hope this helps.
@@IDCWoodcraft I meant on your table build - what"s the dimensions of these items on your build?
@@johnhobdy9785 I'll have to get back to you on that. I'm not near my machine right now. But I can tell you I put the big monitor at eye level. The stand for the laptop is at chest level. A little uncomfortable. I think I'll probably tilt it toward me. I hope that helps
Do you know if LongMill has any plans for a next size up in the next several months?
My current catch is 48” v 30” and how that might limit me?
Hi Jonbo. I think your email already answered this. But yes they are working on a larger machine.
@@IDCWoodcraft great.
I will definitely be going LongMill at the next size up.
If you turn the table the other way the controls will be on the right.🤣
There are some times when just the right comment comes at just the right time. Almost peed my pants.
@@IDCWoodcraft Couldn't help it. 🙂
@@DBrownCo My kind of guy for sure! Make sure you can't help yourself again whenever that kind of thing comes up in your mind
