I love how you were sweeping away the plane shavings and in my head I was thinking what if he just throws the plane away and then you did it. Love your humor
If you do the tabs half hight or less. When you sand the residue of the tab away angle your sander table down so you’re only sanding the bottom edge and the top edge remains unmolested and maintains the machined dimensions.

I look forward to your creative ideas and use cases. One minor caution I feel obligatory to mention... you've mentioned how the router scares you because of how dangerous it can be. Bare in mind this is basically the same tool in reverse. Get very familiar with the location of those E-stops, do not wear gloves, and never reach towards a spinning spindle. Thanks for sharing.
I thought I saw that plane going into the trash can, but quickly told myself that I was only imagining it. Whatever he did next must have been interesting!
I know right? Where does he live? I've never been dumpster diving but after seeing this video I'm beginning to rethink things! Lol, I'll come haul the tools away that are on the table that are trash, no need to waste a perfectly good trash bag or valuable space in the trash can! Hahaha
For thin panels, try blue painters tape on both workpiece and the bed / spoilboard, then super glue between the two layers of tape. I was skeptical at first, but it holds really well, and if your bed is flat enough, the two layers of tape mean you can cut all the way through your piece but not your spoilboard (bonus not necessary, it is a spoilboard after all). Then the piece is pried up, tape peels off, voila! Can NEVER have too many workholding techniques!! Great video!
good vid, Im a commercial cnc programmer, If you get the vacuum table get a sheet of ldf low density fiber board cut to size of the table and install. you can cut through your job and occasionally surface out your table to remove cut through and have a clean cutting surface over and over till the ldf is too thin and then change it out!
By the way, I used to race a 250 single cinder Honda Kart years ago, back in the late 70s early 80s , I now ride a HD, back in the early 2000s About 15 of as road to Barcelona, to a rally, We were there one of the young guys had found a Kart circuit, so we all decided that we have the day there, I think it was around €50 each for the day including our food and drink, We had a number of races, to end up with a final at the end of the day and the trophy or some paperwork at least, I did not tell anybody that I used to race a, it was easy lemon squeezy, In the final race of the day, I’ve got T-bone pushed off the track so many times, I still came across the line 1st, my claim to fame,
great video! I was already enjoying your struggles with the dust collection, so when you dropped the hand planes in the trash... I nearly spilled my coffee, and I laughed loud enough the dog was offended and left the room! Nice project to show the machine off. I'm really thinking this may be the machine for my shop. Thanks!
Use the CNC to cut a grid in your spoil board and insert strips of window seal 'foam rope', then a port to your vacuum, you'll have a vacuum hold-down.
Ive got a picture of Norm Abram in my shop too. I was practicing making picture frames at the time and needed subject matter. I got my start by watching him while drinking coffee.
Starting a UA-cam channel is a better option than starting a real business. Where else can you get free tools and build shops as a business. I recently saw April Wilkerson get a $40k Shopsabre CNC and a complete shop full of Grizzly tools.... not normal tools!!! 16" jointers and sliding panelsaws. Good for all of you! I am jealous but also support your hard work. I've been a sub since you taught me how to build a wine box with a incra jig!!
I'm in the process of buying a laser engraver. I never really consider a CNC machine but that is a work of art. The problem is, it doesn't come with any attachments, so the price is going to add up quickly. i love the fact you did't edit out not fixing the dust collector, the first time, and then not turning it on. Haha! The fact you learned something in the process offsets it.
Wow!! I’ve been waiting for a full reveal of the mural and the back wall...it’s a huge change from the blank canvas you started from. Can totally see that shop being inspirational to work in.
First time ive seen your vids here In Australia and i have to say very well done i really like how you are explaining these cnc THINGYS (and then corrected) terms. we all understand thingy terms. This is one of the very few educational / explanation video that readers want to learn from for two reasons that your video not only explains the CNC talk but also the how to explanation talk. The people that understand what im saying will agree this is what a youtube presenter should be clear, understanding, not 100% scripted and boring scientific talk and most importantly engaging at the viewers level. So many times we get presenters not knowing what they talking about or they know to much and cant explain things without losing or confusing viewers so if im making sense (no pun intended) people who want to be a presenter should take a page outta this mans book. Well done and PS ill give you the thumbs up but i am right fr the choc top thanks :-). GREAT WORK KEEP EM COMING
Have you considered using the CNC to router the job surface flat? The rails are already there as is the router and sled. A large diameter router bit, a simple cnc program or even manual jogging control will level the job or even the bed for that matter.
next time you hafta do the bridge (tab) thing, make them as thin as you think you can get away with and then after freeing them from the board, use a flush cutting router bit with the bearing running against the top part of the part which represents the final shape. no sanding. no sanding problems. cool tool, btw!
When running onion skinning it is best to utilized a sealed vacuum system under the mdf. If you create vacuum sealing under the mdf and then seal the top side of the spoil board around the part you can achieve a flat surface. Keep the onion skin around .01" Keep your onion skin channel just wider than the bearing of your table router. It's nice to program in an entry hole instead of punching thru the onion skin. If profiling go once thru the onion skin to free up the part. Then profile(roundover, champfer, or whatever. better to have a free part to move freely for profiling to eliminate burning and chatter based issues.
I love exotic cars and that M.1000 CNC has me fixated like it's an Italian beauty! I mean damn....you can just plop it down on a surface and BAM! It's CNC'd! Make a custom railing to hold your bare legs or back down and you have "Scar Art". Oh settle downnnnn! I was just kidding! (hmmmm.....) LOL....seriously though....great video and you demoed that machine very well! Not using the vac option just built up the suspense brother! Stepcraft would be proud! Now if I could just get hooked with a tiny one for my upcoming "Car Audio from the COUCH!" UA-cam chanel..... Thanks for you hard work Mr. MS!
Golden rule. Always make the walnut inlays first. That way, if the table needs the holes adjusting to fit you are all set up ready to do it. You got lucky!
Wow this is one heck of a game changer for all cnc users !!! I'm actually playing with the idea 💡 of taking a closer look 👀 at this machine and I don't even own anykind of Cnc at this moment in time!!!. Great video thanks David and as always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
I'm a machinist and as far as price for CNC, this is pretty cheap. Take a look at a used horizontal Haas CNC. You will have a aneurysm if you have a fainting episode at the price of something like this. 😂 I was looking into starting some CNC milling but will have to settle on something like this to get me by until I can can afford a true CNC mill.
Love my M1000. Glad they sent you one. You probably already know this but the dust collection is magnetic and you can just knock it down to the work surface.
It might be good to throw in some "negatives"; it must have a few (but maybe since it was "provided by Stepcraft", you are not allowed to point out its weaknesses). I've often wondered if sawdust makes its way onto the upper linear rails and sticks to the lube. The side rails are somewhat protected with that rubber strip (though it does not seem to seal tightly; in one part of the video 11:40 it looks deformed). I wonder how square that frame stays...I suppose one could bolt it to the table underneath. This video reminded me that I have a door that needs some weather-stripping.
having a stepcraft I can say that dust does come into the rubber compartments and everywhere else as well. It is good to see them finally using vacuuming a bit more, but still. about squarenes... do not expect it. also the speeding up and slowing down on turns shouldn't be happening. I experience it miself and suspect it has to do with the slow communication. I broke many bits that way!
Nice design it looks cool. My method to get rid of tabs is to do the cut with a small outwards offset, then do a full depth cut with no offset (and no tabs). You need to follow the router and hold the pieces down with a pair of screw drivers (or something other than your fingers) so they don't come loose while cutting
14:30 sand the piece totally flat first, then cnc your stuff with tabs that you can sand later. tip. do it fast. moisture can rewarp even the thickest slabs in a matter of hours, especially if the wood is relatively live.
dust collection troubles was funny, but throwing the plane in the bin was even better. 😂. Great video again. Thanks for putting it together , I’ve been looking at getting a small cnc, the stepcraft machine looks awesome, now to see if I can get one to Australia. Thanks for the vid👍
Love to see your excitement, you're like a kid again! I'd like to see a project where you carve some wild corner joints using the machine's vertical mounting (like you've shown for dovetails). Have fun!

@@MakeSomething sweet there's alot of mini bike slash go kart builders out there but not many videos of building the heads on them. I picked up a Tillotson 236r from ec last year definitely an expensive hobby lol
@@Asnovich hmmmm. It wouldn't be fair to just give my opinion without asking you what you're going to use it for. That said, i really think it answers a certain question from the market but it's not the ultimate rapid prototyping/manufacturing/diy machine.

@@Asnovich Oh ok, if you have a project for it then perfect. But in your case definitely upgrade to a ball screw set. The igus dryspin will have some back lash. I would suggest to choose a good spindle as well and invest in smart clamping solutions and good bits. You want to maximize your workflow as much as possible.
@@Asnovich and no, no errors, persee, I love the rigidity of the M series. The only problem is the workflow. In the Netherlands at least it's annoying to buy material, bits etc if this isn't your full time job. Then there's the gcode making and the amount of time it takes to get something done, you can't leave the machine alone, or at least I wouldn't, and do something else. Hence my comment. It really depends what you're objectives are. If you know exactly what you're going to do and you have a good grasp of the technology and everything around it, the m series is a nice machine definitely!
I use carpet tape so I don't need make tabs on any cut out. Found it working much better than normal double sided tape, but I do slow down for last pass just to be extra cautious.
@Stephen Ferree I use carpet tape by Rhino UltraTape. It comes with yellow backing paper, tape part itself is transparent with fine glass fibre mesh reinforcement.
Stepcraft makes a nice machine. I have had their D.600 for a couple of years now, and have been very happy with it.

Small tip for removing tabs. I use a flush trim bit on the router table. Works good. 👌
This plastic nailer is such a good solution that it deservers it's own video. Thanks!
I didn’t realize planes where single use tools, I’ve been doing it wrong! That was funny. Classic.
Lol ya. When he said he didn't want to sharpen them, he wasn't kidding!
I’ve watched parts of two videos I’m convinced he’s taken high dosesof asshole pills

@Stephen Ferree I use carpet tape by Rhino UltraTape. It comes with yellow backing paper, tape part itself is transparent with fine glass fibre mesh reinforcement.
@Stephen Ferree nice. I might make vacuum table once I upgrade cnc work space as atm it's mainly used for small jobs, keyrings, etc
Awesome video!
Woah! You have the bad guy from Ghostbusters 2 working in your shop with you!?!? That's freaking AWESOME!
