CNC Build 2.0: CNC Router Parts 4' x 8' CNC Router
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 січ 2017
- I have built the CNC Router Parts 4x8 Pro Kit. I started by building the base with six legs and the table all made out of 80/20 aluminum extrusion. Then I built the gantry which runs on linear rails along the sides of the table. I attached the z-axis to the gantry and attached all of the motors and wired everything up. After a little fiddling with Mach3, it seems to work. I finished up by working on the table which is a ¾ inch thick piece of MDF.

I saw CNC Router Parts' (now Avid CNC) 'Tested' video, then I saw yours and Rainfall Projects' videos and decided to check them out. That started a year ago for me. I picked my CNC machine up yesterday, Sept. 9th, 2019. I drove up and picked it up, but I only had a little hatchback so it took 2 trips. Fortunately, I live only 25 miles away from them. Now, I get the fun job of assembly.
Thank you for the content you provide, enjoy your projects and look forward to more.
One of the great thrills for me is to see an architect/maker/designer/woodworker/amazingly competent video and animation experts. You are a delight to watch and a superb teacher. I learn from you with every video.
I enjoy how you detail your thought process as you work through problems. We don't just learn what you did, but WHY you made the decisions you made, based on your experience and vision. That's a huge part of learning.
Can't wait to watch it in action. I admire you for going through this procedure twice! Thanks for sharing!
geeze Frank, your videos put me in a better mood.
Your patience is saintly
great job Frank, looking forward to you putting it through its paces
Frank, I no longer have any question about why you made the change. That is one beautiful and strong machine!! Congratulations and Thank You for sharing your joy!
one thing on spindles for ya:
most of em are oil filled, so you'll need to run a warmup routine to get the oil around.
also, VFD controlled spindles don't bog down, so if it hits something hard (like a screw), the VFD will simply ramp up the spindle so it stays at a constant speed. So be on the lookout for stuff like that.
one more thing, MDF is actually pourus enough that you can pull a vacuum (shop vac) through it. It's enough to hold down pcs, but not enough that it loses suction when open. Consider that when using your vacuum table.
ps.
KentCNC does a split dust shoe for cnc routers. I'd recommend that for this machine!
Absolutely the best 18:30 minutes of my day so far, thanks for sharing!
Frank,I just wanted you to know that I enjoy your videos a great deal. I believe that your voice and humor could make any topic engaging. I'm learning and building my own table and your input has been priceless. Warmest regards!
I love how you used the CNC to cut it's own table top holes at the end - using the machine to finish itself. Very cool setup.
I appreciate no music in your video, so peaceful.
kmonnier That is the main reason I chose this channel. That and his willingness to speak. I prefer knowing what is going on and not guessing. A big plus!
yes
yep...subscribed
I just discovered your channel 2 weeks ago. I binge watched all of your videos. In addition to my love for your work, the professionalism of your video editing makes me enjoy watching even more. Can't wait to see what you do next!
an 18 minute video by Frank... is this a dream? lol amazing amazing video as always :)
Big job to put it together..
I really love the quality and design of the machine.
I have just ordered a Pro and will be assembled it this winter . Thank you very much for this video,as I’m sure I’ll find it invaluable .
Frank - thank you for your amazing narrative and your inspiring videos. This is soothing on so many levels.
Damn Frank, this is soooo relaxing to watch. Nice one.
Frank Congratulations on CNC !!! My brother Tecolino and I are accompanying his videos here in Brazil!
What an amazing video! So well put together and comprehensive. Thanks Frank!
I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos from the beginning of your new shop to erecting your new 4x8 CNC router.
I really enjoyed these 18 minutes to the full! Thanks for that great video!
Wow quite a system. I bet it was fun to put together. Kind of takes you back to when you were a kid assembling stuff.
Hi Frank. Most of us will use kits. So watching you build a kit is very helpful. Cheers, John.
Frank, what a great and professional vid. Thanks for your time.
Looks great Frank, can't wait to see what you make!
Can't wait to see how you do the dust collection set-up ! !
I had the sudden thought just now, "I wonder how Frank is doing, he hasn't posted a video in a long time." I came to check, and it has only been two weeks. Two weeks too long! I like to watch your videos at night as I fall asleep, I find your voice very soothing. Don't worry, I watch them all again when I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed! Thank you for the great videos and original ideas, Frank. :-)
+K Smith thanks, I literally have a video ready to be posted but our power went out this morning.
The new table looks really great Frank! Congrats and thanks for the video!
That is really coming along! Looks awesome! I'm enjoying the series on this one.
I simply love your videos !!! such creative editing, great projects and a soothing calm voice :D Greetings from Germany
You are in my Top 3 makers list but my favourite producer. Excellent video, as usual.
I realized after watching the last CNC build and a few other things, Frank has never told me to be sure to "like and subscribe, and hit that notification Bell." This is one of the few channels I subscribe to, I guess because he loves his job. Not just woodworking, but filming. Other channels constantly feel like they have filler, many times explaining what's up on there channel, but ignoring the projects they are working on.
The largest, most expensive puzzle I have seen. But you didn't flinch. Thanks for sharing.
I got so excited when I saw this in my subbox haha
haha me 2
PNathan me too!
+PNathan same
Me too!
same here, love watching Franks videos, this video just made me even more excited to start building my own CNC, parts takes ages to reach Cape Town south Africa :)
Can't wait on the first project, great video.
Your stop motion is still impeccable Frank!
Excellent vid Frank. You put a lot of time in them for sure.
Nice job Frank. Great talk through and thanks for your time.
Sincerely
JF ( UK )
Thanks Frank. Love your work!
absolutely hypnotic process!!
Love the 80/20 extrusions, I've built several project with it. I built a wire cart that held 40 1000ft spools of wire, don't know how much it weighed but it moved effortlessly and didn't sag. Building with it makes you think from the inside out, forgetting hardware or mounts is a PITA!
Entertaining and training all in one.... Thanks Frank!
Incredible, Frank! Wish I had the room for a CNC that big.
Thank you for posting I really appreciate the hard work you put into this footage. 😎
I'm very jealous, great interesting vid of the assembly. Congrats on the 300k subs
This is probably what I should have done, but 2 years back I went for an industrial machine, and now I just build hobby type of stuff on it. I love your vertical table on the old machine and am glad to hear you are putting it back. I wish I could easily do that on my machine. Only thing I would have gotten for it is a longer gantry. I have a on table 4th axis and every time I use it I wish it was off to the side and the fourth axis had its own height control
You do your videos the right way!
Boy do I wish you'd posted this about 3 months ago before I did the same build with a Pro4848. Love it!
That new machine looks great!
This is really amazing. Makes me want to build my own cnc machine....
Thank you so much Frank, you are the best. You make my life happy 😀😀😀 Have nice day.
That is some bit of kit Frank! cant beat some lovely linear rails either, they will make that CNC run super sweet!
In awe of your skill Frank
nice machine. Brilliantly put together great job.
beautiful, I love the simplicity of extruded aluminium
Gördüğüm en güzel montaj videosu, Teşekkür ederim.
Awesome video. Fun to watch and very informative.
Nice Kit!! Great commentary, thanks! Want one now!
Mind blowing brilliance !!
Excellent video documentation. You have a great speaking/teaching voice.
Frank, I binged watched your vids all weekend! My first official subscribed channel! Thanks for making great vids!
You are really good woodworker, machinist, videographer, editor and CNCnist 😁 👍
First time I see one of your videos, you have done a great job in all aspects, bravo!
I really like how to did the fly-in overlay of the machine components in the video.Great video, cool machine.
Looking good and great vision as always a man of many skills
Incredible Lego set!
Frank, you made my day!
I'm so jealous! Really wish I could afford a CNC setup right now, lots of tasks would be made so much easier.
great build and amazing Videography, I really enjoyed watching.
Loved your video. I'm thinking of building a hobby CNC, nothing as grand as what you built but watching the video was very educational for me. I was blown away by the amount of animation and stop motion work you put in as well. Very impressive. :)
Loved it! Well done mate
Excellent equipment! Good luck!
Awesome work Frank!
As someone who listens to a lot of music while he works, I often wonder if you ever listen to music while you do work in your shop. It's always so quiet in there during these videos haha. Thanks for the great videos, Frank!
Fine video as always. Like your detail projections
Great video. You make it look so easy.
Outstanding video and information. Thank you.
A useful tool in woodwork
Really good video. Thanks for sharing.
great DIY CNC , nice work
This is perfect, Exactly the Video I wanted to see about this machine! Do you like the machine? How does it work??? Any recommendations!
Congrats on your new beastie!
this guys use of present and past tense keeps me up at night now
Important is the side rails and making the whole machine True and level before tightening the cross members I have a couple short videos that may help. remember, The cross-members have a common nut which means they MUST be tightened a little at a time or tightening with a gun will loosen the opposite bolt. I like all the work you did on the video
This was a very enjoyable video. The animation used was fantastic. The shop is perfect! I would work there for free.
That looks really great, I work with that extrusion sometimes in my day job, Its nice and simple, Its used on conveyors and lifts, but that cnc is a beast, I have been thinking of getting a cnc or building my own smaller version. Really like your videos and look forward to seeing what you make with it.
Wow. All that parts. You do a amazing job, building the new machine up. So fun and interesting to follow your ideas, and videos.Wish you a nice and great week. Good luck withe first projects with the new Router
love how calm you assemble that thing haha
LoL, your narrative style is nearly identical to a Black Pilled/Devon Stack. Very calming. Excellent perspective. Thank you for putting this together!
Looks like a beautiful machine! Is there any reason behind the Z axis being so tall? It doesn't seem like it would need that whole capacity.
I thought is that i can quickly lengthen the height of the gantry for more room if i need to. and the length of the movement of the z will be already in place.
Admirable!
Interesting and no need to justify your progression in this technology. Look forward to see what you do for dust collection issue. Great video as per usual.
I have to do the same decision and its really difficult. Sell my first homemade CNC or keep upgrading it? It works very well and reliably, but I don´t think I am going to get a lot of money for a homemade CNC. My second CNC would be sooo much better though!
you working very nice and clean
congrats on the new machine
Just a quick word of advice, you might want to go back and re-tighten those bolts after a few weeks. Alternately, you might try using a little dab of loc-tite or threadlocker on them. You'll have a lot of vibration in this machine and steel bolts in aluminum extrusion can loosen over time.
Mechanical genius!
Nice Frank, I'm so jealous !!!
