- A brief overview of the steps I take to produce my angled head stock necks using my workbee CNC machine. The material used in this video is English Cherry, The glue used for the joint is Titebond
The background music is with thanks from www.bensound.com - Навчання та стиль
Nick your videos have been great,they really help me figure stuff out with my CNC thanks!
Extremely helpful and I got a few ideas looking at the way you do things. Thank you! Love the CNC videos.
I am so doing a scarf joint sanding jig. Thumbs up!!!
Highline Guitars Chris I’m honoured that you watched my video. You have been a major influence to me making you beautiful guitars. Yes it’s cost me a great deal of money, blood, sweat and tears. But what a great hobby! I love making guitars and a great deal of what I’ve learnt has come from you! So a big thank you to you Chris, keep the videos coming, and a very happy new year to you and your family.
As always Nick your work is perfection!
That's awesome Nick!!!
Many thanks
Awesome work 👌
Great work Nick.
+Stuart Wilson thanks 👍
Very nice man. How do you align the blank for the headstock down operation?
Thanks. I used the truss rod slot to align it in both directions with dowels. One dowel right at the end of the slot to give me my “Y” location and a couple more back along the slot to align “X”
Very nice work. I wish Ooznest would have put an effort in designing some decent lead screws in their machine as well. Would you be willing to share your cnc files so we can try that project on our home cnc routers too?
Hi thanks for your comments, Yes I guess ball screws would have been better, having said that I’ve been using the workbee from ooznest for a couple of years now and have had no trouble with the lead screws or the tolerance of the machine. I get asked for my 3D models frequently but I’m afraid they are not available at this time sorry. Thanks
@@NickRogersNJRCustomGuitars Ball screws should have been there only solution to a 4x4 ft table. This all thread they put in the kit reminds me of an old back porch spring on the screen door. I went with 5/8" Dia. pitched lead screw with ball screws. Only problem is redesigning the layout. Would be nice to also see these manufacturers using bellows to protect them from dust and debree. I am a cnc machininst in the real world and this is elementary. It is a must. But great job on your projects they look great.
How are you reconciling double-sided milling? It doesn't look like you are using the pin method. Fantastic neck!
+Mark Gutierrez I use aspire and double sided machining using dowel pins. Thanks for the kind comment
@@NickRogersNJRCustomGuitars Nice job, do you know any videos or article to show how to make and draw the volute part (back junction between neck and headstock) with Vectric Aspire ? Thanks for sharing
@@nonolagratte I’m afraid I don’t, I did mine in solid works using surfaces. It was a bit of a pig. I actually draw all my necks using surfaces then when done knit it all together to make a solid. I think it may prove very difficult in aspire. Good luck and if I ever come across any video showing what your looking for I will let you know. Best of luck with it 👍
Hi Nick! Great work! and thanks for sharing your tips :)
I have a question regarding the routing of the back of the neck and headstock. How do you split the job in 2? I'm using fusion 360. It would help me a lot,.
Thanks again :)
Many thanks, yes this was programmed as two separate jobs. I didn’t have fusion back when I made that particular neck. But if I were to approach the same job now using fusion I would have 3 set ups one for milling the truss rod, one for the back of the neck and a final one for the headstock. you can use the same model for all operations. Because at the beginning of each set up you tell fusion the direction of XY and Z. So food for instance machining the back of the headstock the back face becomes Z the length of the neck Y and across the neck X. Difficult to explain. I do have other videos making a Stratocaster type neck in fusion that may make more sense

@@NickRogersNJRCustomGuitars oh thanks! I will look at this video. But I understood your explanations :-)
Thanks!
Very nice. What size is the machine?
+Simon Labrecque thanks it’s a 750mm x 1000mm workbee
Why not use a dust shoe with a festool midi, works very well!
+graveur graveur hi thanks for your comment and advice. I don’t use a dust shoe because my workbee is in a enclosed unit that has its own extraction. This cuts down on the dust in the workshop and also the noise.
Are you using the blackbox and stock nemas?
They are stock nemas but no blackbox I can’t remember is that particular neck was xPro3 or the early duet. Most probably the xPro3
@@NickRogersNJRCustomGuitars I'm completing a lead 1010 cnc with an ethernet axbb-e board and uccnc. But it's overwhelming and was wondering if you had the blackbox so I could ask a few questions. Anyway, thanks for this video! Angled scarf joint necks are what I think I might struggle with.
What Spindel
outer do you use?
+Andre P0WLY hi it’s a 65mm 1.5kw air cooled
So guys the workbee is not a toy. You can do some serious work with it
+Ο Θείος Γιάννης the workbee is a great machine definitely not a toy!
