Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I visit your channel every week. I really like the design of your cnc router and would like to know what type/size of aluminium profiles have you used to build the base frame and gantry x-axis also the size of the linear rails/blocks you have employed.
Excellent ! For the frame parts have a look at the Misumi web site. I like the heavy extrusions. I think it’s the HFSG 6-6060. For the guides have a look at HIWIN HGH 25 CA. Have fun building your machine !!
I have probably just spent up to $3000 in my head on my CNC upgrades after watching your channel, really looking forward to improving my CNC even before I start making any parts for my RC hobby. I love this idea of putting a spoil board on top of the aluminum bed, can't wait to do this..
3000$ i can build 2 big cnc machine what can use any RC and aluminium parts what i want ewer doing whit machine. and 3 pcs middle size cnc machine, sure, my RC and metal work hobby.
my son cnc machine i build less than 1000$ and can cutting 1200mm long wing profile, or wood or aluminium parts maximum size at table 1400x1400x400, easy simple build own cnc machine.
What about a spoilboard entirely of HDPE? Why nobody is using HDPE? Costs reasons or what? Ok, it is a warping material, but once screwed down and flattened should be better than MDF.Or not? Also the threade insert on it should be more pull-resistant than the once on MDF.
I think HDPE is not really well suited as a spoilboard. It is just not rigid enough and like you mentioned it moves a lot. Now POM on the other side is a totally different story it is very well suited and you can cut threads right into it and they hold well.
Yes certainly, it’s a simple de-burring tool that you can buy as a set to use on different materials. Plastic, aluminum and steel works on all of them. My set was cheap and it’s from Shars. But you can find it also on Amazon
Just wanted to give you a thanks and say you single handedly have helped me more than any other resource on my desktop CNC journey.
Thank you so much for reaching out and leaving this comment. This makes it all worth it for me.
Excellent delivery and wonderful flow of information. Looking forward to viewing the rest of the series!
Thank you John, I am glad you like my contend!

It is a very good concept. I use my machine for RC Airplane parts and quad cooters.
@@JBWorx I would love to see you making some of those parts one day.
I myself am into the old Tamiya models from the 80's and 90's

I might show how to make a mold for a DLG glider wing. But that is a maybe.
Great video and detailed explanation!
Thank you for reaching out keeps my motivation up to post more videos.
Delrin 👍🏼
Yes ! It’s awesome material
Nice videos. Please do a video also about a 'true' tramming process if possible.
Thanks for reaching out, I will make a note of it.

Cost is an issue. Just for comparison, 3/8" thick x 24" x 24" stress relieved HDPE is $60, while Delrin is $290.
Correct not really a disposable solution like MDF
Can you tell me that tool you use to remove the rough spots on the edge of the hole. Around 4:52? Thanks!

Preference of plastic for the spoil and what to avoid?
I like POM also called Delrin or Acetal but it is expensive. It would also hold threads well and is chemically resident.
