Laguna IQ CNC : bit.ly/2NlCGfb
This week I am making a Spoilboard for my Laguna IQ CNC Machine. I have needed to do something with my spoilboard for my cnc machine for a while now. I finaly bought a fly cutter from Tools Today RC-2255. Its a 2 inch carbide tipped fly cutter, I wish I would have bought it sooner. I also used Armor Tool auto adjust P7-IL In Line Dog Clamp. These things are pretty cool.
I used Aspire Software to create the tool paths to make this spoilboard. There is lots to learn on this software and I'm having fun learning and sharing with you!
I hope you liked the Aspire software tutorial and the build of the spoilboard. Any questions please leave in the comments below or contact Laguna directly Here: 1-949-527-6160

Thats a pretty big cutter to cut a fly isnt it. I just swat them
Frankie's CNC & Woodworking channel I live in Texas... HUGE flies!!! HUGE!! Lol
Oh wow Jake, I remember watching you make projects on your Laguna CNC back in the day. Do you still have that nice machine? You have come along ways since then now with your SMC show. Thanks.
That’s awesome.. seems so long ago… I still have the machine and use it pretty often. I’m glad you like the show.
Totally making this for a “ small pieces “ hold down for my machine man !!!! Another awesome video in the can brother, thanks for the shout out !!! I agree with the post about making each function a new layer so you can drag select all the holes instead of shift clicking them on each of their layers 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Al Schulze - WoodworX Thanks Al!! Heck yeah.. I like doing these videos just for the help I get in the comments.. Thanks a lot Brother and I hope your show went well!!
Nice set up! I have done several walnut inlay cutting boards and have plans for more. I have been using double-sided tape, but this will be my new set-up. Thanks!
Ken Lyssy Thank you Ken.. the Tape has its place but gets old to use.. I started using wedges and trying new ways to hold material because of Inlay.. Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Cool setup mate, Armor Tool gear is cool stuff & this is a nice review especially with that Fly Cutter bit, man that takes some material off in a hurry 🔨🔨👍👍👍
Sumo's Projects I still think it’s cool that I was ordering my clamps when I was watching your video!! Haha
Great job Jake. Seems like a god setup for clamping
It seems to work pretty well. I have some signs to make tomorrow, will find out for sure then.
Thank you for sharing this video and the sources. I have been looking for clamps like these for a look time without any luck but thanks to you I now know where to buy them for my next projects.
My plan was to buy the Laguna IQ cnc similar to the one that you have so I can learn the software but in the end I decided to wait till AWFI in July to buy a bigger machine like 4x4 or 4x8 and hopefully get a better deal( did not get any discount on Aspire software with IQ machine).
Until then. I look forward to watching your cnc projects.
Thank you
Mimi Becks Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the machine you end up getting. Have fun!! 👍👍
👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing Jake.
Jaez85 Glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for watching buddy!!
I use Vcarve with a Shopbot. I am learning a lot and getting some great ideas from you. Im getting a fly cutter now, Thanks! Oh ya, if you make a new layer it will automatically be selected and all your vectors will be on just that layer. Then just double click on any layer to select all vectors. You can also copy, paste, cut with keyboard shortcuts. Should help your order of operation efficiency. Keep up these great vids!
SheriffDawson1 I’m glad you enjoy the videos, I love making them and learn more and more every time.. Thanks for the tips.. I need them.. 👍👍
if you right click on the guide line, you can manually enter the specific x or y coordinate...
Jake many thanks looks like a great setup just pulled the trigger on a K6090T CNC its the same machine but sold in the UK under The Itech name keep the good stuff coming 😀
pod man Awesome Man.. I’m super excited for you!! I would like to see it set up when you get it!!
Jake Thompson thanks download the trial version of V carve pro got a copy coming with the CNC will be looking for tips from your channel so can hit the ground running will post some pictures of CNC running projects hopefully
Many thanks Alan
pod man Can’t wait man.. send them to me on my Instagram .. 👍👍
Good video. The Armor tool clamps look like they might be a good investment. I WANT A CNC SOOO BAD!
Twisted Boards They work really well!! The cnc is one of the best investments I’ve ever made for sure!!
HI I was just about ready to do something Similar for my Shapeoko 3 What size screw did you use to mount the Rockler T track to the board? Great job
Like those clamps
Awesome!! They work pretty good but they try to push the material up.
Great video! I’m wanting to do the same thing to my new cnc. Glad to see someone has already done it. Have you had any problems with the workpiece lifting while using those clamps?
Obi’s Crafts N Stuff Yes I have had trouble with the clamps trying to lift.. the Kreg clamps lift less.. if I do it again.. I will go with a cam style hold down.
Jake, I've learned a lot from you videos, Thanks. I've got a question: how do you like those clamps you feature in this video ? They look kinda high to me and would be subject to a spindle collision. BTW, I just purchased an IQ with Vcarve. Your videos were a major factor in my decision.
Thomas Rispoli That’s Awesome Thomas!! Those clamps are kind of high, and they try to push the material upwards while clamping.. the Kreg clamps are better in my opinion, and they are half the price. I use them in the videos after this one.
offset tool, look into it. big time saver
Hi Jake - nice channel. The stand you have your CNC on looks great. I'm getting ready to order a Laguna IQ and want to have the stand ready when it's delivered. I was wondering if you have any plans or sketches / dimensions for your stand? And, if you were building another one, what you might do differently? Thanks and keep up the awesome work!
Neil McInnis Here the video on me building the table ua-cam.com/video/oHkczqEaHOA/v-deo.html
It’s pretty good.. if you notice I have 2x4’s stacked on the side under the control box. Maybe setting the control box on a adjacent table would be better. I did put extra support boards throughout the table, the cnc weighs over 400 pounds. I hope this helps!! 👍👍
Just setting up my Laguna IQ and discovered your videos. Very well done, my friend. I received my new flycutter today and hope to start this project soon. Curious as to whether you would do anything different now that you've used your spoilboard for a while?
Derek Strong this way is ok but both styles of clamps try to push the material up.. so I use double sided tape with the clamps.. if I was to do it all over again I would make a cam clamp system.. check out tools today on Instagram and you will see what I’m talking about..
Great Video! You could use arrays for locating all these holes and lines?
Lyle Feucht Thank you!! I will check that out!! Thanks for watching!! 👍👊
Really enjoy your video. I just got my IQ and want to make this spoil board. Where did you get the nuts for the t track and what length screw did you use. I was also wondering if your peg holes are going into the original spoil board. Thanks.
all4boatin I’m glad you liked the video and the peg holes do go into the original spoilboard.. the nuts for the t-tracks I found at lows in the hardware isle. I can’t remember the length of the screws.
Great video, I never thought about making a spoil board like you did! What RPM can you run that 2" flycutter?
jonathan smith Glad you enjoyed the video, 18,000 max is what the website says for that bit.
what did you use for the plates to go into the T-track? look at Lowes but we couldn't find anything. Great idea by the way!
sablack2 I did get them at Lowe’s.. I forget what they are called.. they are just big enough to not pull through the slot.
I am new to cnc work and find your videos very helpful. I purchased this bit on your recommendation. My RC-2255 is a 2 1/2" cutter but you refer to yours as a 2" in the videos and the comments. I have to enter the bit into my database and the Amana speeds are very different than what yours are in the video. Do you find your speeds to work well? Any advice?
Thank you for watching the videos. I would go by the charts that Amana has for speeds and feeds.. I did this video years ago and the speeds and feeds worked for what I was doing but I would trust the Amana site.
Thanks for the video Jake. I am really interested in setting up a spoil board like you did. I really like that idea. But I have a question? I have looked at Armor Tool's website and watched all of their video's, but I cannot find a clamp like the ones in your video. All of the ones I have seen have black plastic looking wedge thing on them and it looks to me that they are long enough that you would have to drill dog holes about 3 inches deep, or completely through the spoil board in order to use them. Your's don't look anything like that. How long is that portion that actually sticks down into the dog hole on your clamps. I would really like to use these things but if I'm correct about this I would have to drill down and through my aluminum bed or make a spoilboard about 4 inches thick. I sure would appreciate hearing from you about this as I'm sure there is something I am missing here. Thanks again Jake for a very interesting and useful video.
Respectfully
Jim
Jim Scott Thank you for watching the video.. I took the black part off so the part that goes into the spoilboard is only 1 1/4 inch long. These clamps do tend to try to push the material upward but I have learned to deal with it.. I think a cam style clamp is probably better.. look at @gotwoodworkshop on instagram
Hey Jake, thanks for the tips. What post processor are you using? I have a Laguna IQ HHC as well and seems like I can only get mm to work. As a side note, what part of Texas are you in? Seems like I've heard you mention it...I'm in Alvin.
Larry Hare The mm is what I use too!! I’m in Amarillo... glad you enjoy the videos!
How does the in-line clamp fit and not hit the bottom spoil board? The stem looks to be about 2” long or more, did you drill through both spoil board? Thanks
Yes.. drilled deep enough so it doesn’t bottom out.
Can you share the file and any recommendations for what you would be different? I'm taking a wood shop class and have access to the same machine and am learning how to use it. I would like to upgrade the spoilboard to this.
Those files were on an old computer that died.. but measuring and creating your own files would be good practice.. you got this
Great video man. I have a 2 x 3 ft as well. Question. How deep does the holder go down? Or how deep do you have to make the holed for the holder?
I can’t remember exactly.. I just measured the length of the peg that goes in the hole.
@@JakeThompsonThe part the sticks down in the MDF looks to be too long, did you remove the black part of it leaving the grey part to go into the mdf?
@@leejackson3781 Yes I removed it.. I also used some Kreg push clamps too.. I like them more
Hi Jake. Not sure if I missed it but what's the actual dimension of the new spoil board? You also just the holes for the clamps 1.2 inch deep. Why so deep, is that the depth of their insert?
Niles Krech Hello Niles. The new spoil board is 26x38 inches. The working surface of the cnc is 24 x36 I just made it a couple inches bigger so I could install and remove the straight edge fences on the front and left sides. I went 1.2 inches deep because that is just a little deeper than the dogs on the clamps that go into the spoilboard. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps. 👍👍
@@JakeThompson awesome, thanks. I have an IQ and need to do this. Great video, very helpful!
Niles Krech I bought some Kreg dog clamps after this video.. I like them better., they don’t try to lift the material as much as the armor tool clamps and they are about half the price.
If you kept the board in the fridge it would take longer to spoil. Just an FYI
55chevy327 Aaaaaahhhhhhh I see!!
Does anyone know if they make those clamps but shorter? My X-Carve would not clear that tall.
Have a great Day
Patrick
FloppyHatPhotos The Kreg clamps are lower profile than the red ones.
Myabe my new IQ is broke? When I set the XY and the Z it travels to different places? For example. I zero out my Y on the surface of the work piece. then when I hit go home, it says that the Y is now 40MM but I measure it at 52MM. So when I start my program it cuts 12 MM too high? I also set my table dimensions to 500 by 800 and still the X or Y will go all the way over and jamb up really messing up the original XY home???
Larry Stringfield when you save the tool path.. there’s a drop down box with all kinds of cnc machines listed. Did you set that to save for the IQ?
OK, got it figured out. The new IQ was not calibrated. Now I use 319 pulses per MM for x and Y.
It is a good idea for anyone to draw3 a 10x10 inch square and then cut it. Now measure it to be sure it is 10" square.
If needed adjust your pulse per MM numbers until you get it a perfect 10 inches by 10 inches.
Now do the same for the Y travel. Use a dial gauge if you have one.
Hi Jake: I have the very same CNC IQ Series from Laguna (24" x 36"). Any chance I can impose and ask for a copy of the spoil board file, as I would like to duplicate the same spoil board and fence setup that you now use?
Thanks - Michael
Michael Murphy Hey Michael.. I lost the files when I had a computer go down.. sorry.
Hi Jake: No problem friend. I downloaded a copy of your video and I am using it to recreate the file(s).
Many Thanks - Michael
@@sendguns Michael, I just took delivery on the same machine you have. How did your replication work out?
@@brettwright392 Hi Brett: I modified Jake's spoilboard when I designed mine. Rather than use the 3/4" dog holes, I drilled holes for T-Nuts on 2" centers each way. I use the same type of clamping system that Jake is using, but my clamps use a T-Bolt. I cut 8" long pieces of T-Track and drill two holes on 6" centers for hold down knobs that secure the T-Track to T-Nuts that inserted from the rear of the spoilboard. This allows me to reposition my clamping system anywhere within the 2 x 2 grid.
Best - Michael
But no downforce on the job. Hmmm.
Skysurfer Hmmmm
@@JakeThompson Only because I don't know the words... :)
Skysurfer The side force created with the 90 degree fence and the clamps is plenty sufficient.
@@JakeThompson Yup, I understand that , but I'm from a commercial environment, Boilermaker by trade. It's in my DNA to never machine anything unless it's firmly nailed down... really nice setup you've got, you've given me some ideas... :)
Hate the music
Love your comment
Nothing worse than you guys blasting crap music 5 times louder after you get done talking.
Almost as bad as people not knowing they have a volume control and then complain about volume.
@@JakeThompson
Your attitude and editing is the reason you only have 34k subs.
@@Madmaxian1088 My attitude just reflects your initial comment.. this is an older video and I’ve gotten better.. but I don’t have to see comments like yours and just not say anything back… Maybe you should make some content and let me know how it’s done… I know 34,000 subscribers aren’t as many as lots of channels out there… but it’s a lot more than 7.
@@JakeThompson
You have a point there, but I'm not trying to have subs.
It wasn't that I thought the video was bad, I hate when ( any video ) is set at a certain sound level and you walk across the room and all of a sudden it's blaring loud and you have to run across the room and turn it down because the normal household members are sleeping.
It's doesn't help that it's shit music either.
Maybe try some Credence??
I'll go watch a newer video and see if your taste in music has improved.
@@Madmaxian1088 👍👍
