Enjoyed the lesson and wanted to say thank you for the clarity along the way. I'm new to this and at 84 years old and building a 4' X 4' 2.2kW vertical mill from scratch, it has been a challenge since the more I learn, the more I realize what I don't know. Be well. John K.
Woops! Bad link.
Ron, apologies on that one brother! Here is a new link: sienci.com/product/longmill-mk2/?ref=IDCWOODCRAFT
need to fix that top pinned link.@@IDCWoodcraft
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Sonja, I'm a little unclear on this one my friend. Are you looking for which types of woods would make a good cutting board? If so, there's so many good options!
I just started watching this video and had to stop to comment, I’ve been married to my wife for 42 years and I still can’t figure her out lol 😂 I sure hope this CNC will be easier and faster. 😂👍🏻
Travel Camp, man I totally hear you on that! I definitely think the CNC is easier to figure out! Keep up the good work!
I have been married 41 years. Can you give me any advise:)
You must be related to my husband😂
It's a walk in the park 😂😂
If you've been married for 42 years to a woman, you already have it figured out. Cnc is way too easy and simple compared to that.
Thanks for putting your story out there. Your gonna be surprised how many people relate and understand.
Hey Deam. Considering the number of likes on your comment, I agree
"And Get Your Questions Answered At The Same TIME!" Got to love it, Thanks Garrett another great video.... 👌👌👌
cjtoledor, I try to do my best! Thanks for the compliments!
Just begging to research adding a mill to my woodworking activities, now that I have retired. Just a hobby for me. Thank you for sharing your awesome videos with us, from Henrico County Virginia
Norm, you're so welcome! I truly love what I do and sharing what I love with our awesome CNC community! Let me know if you end up making the leap of faith my friend, it's awesome!
Best and easiest to understand I’ve seen. I’m 60 and ignorant of anything computer. Thanks very much!!
Hey Mike, you're so welcome! I'm glad this one was helpful for you! Sorry for such a delayed response, it's been a busy week working on getting some new videos out!
Mental health is a bigger story that is never discussed publicly or, worse, shared with anyone. But, Garrett, the answers to life are out there. Seek them!!! You are not alone, brother.
Hey Patriot. Not a big religious person, but Jesus was spot on...knock, and the door will open. Ask, and you will receive.
I have been wood worker for years, I just ordered my first CNC machine, I haven't received it yet, but now is the time to learn. When you mentioned "brushing the router's teeth" I got a good chuckle. I learned that years ago. Nothing hurts worse than having a router bit work its way out and eat through an expensive exotic wood board. It has only ever happened to me once. May it never happen to anyone again!
WikiSnapper, congrats on ordering your new machine brother! I'm looking forward to you getting your machine in hand and seeing what you create. Definitely want to brush those teeth my friend. You're absolutely right, it'd be a shame to ruin an awesome project and piece of wood!
Good morning Mr. Garrett.
With this video, you saved my day. I had already forgotten all about CNC. Thanks.
Paulo, that happens to the best of us brother! We could all use a refresher every now and then.
Iam 74 years old I took one lesson on the cnc at the shop, very complicated. I watch your video and I was amaze how you teach. You explain in a manor that it is a lot eazer to understand. Thank you Garrett. ( I am going to watch it again)
Oliverio, thank you so much! That's awesome, I'm so happy I could help make the CNC a little easier!
Now I know I’m getting a cnc router.
I sat through the whole video and backed it up several times, but at least understand it better. I actually sent this video to my phone so that I could save it, and I could go back and study it more. I can draw almost anything on paper, now I’m hoping to be able to use the CAD and CAM to put some of my art on wood or other materials.
Thank you so much, the video was very informative, even for an old man like myself.
You have a new sub.
God speed
Robles, glad to hear it brother. Keep working hard and you will learn CNC/ CAD and CAM in no time flat my friend.
Well done. Finally somone who understand the struggles of a beginner.
Clo, we were all there at one point or another brother!
Hands down the best CNC channel I have found. I can now proceed with confidence that my future questions are probably already answered here.
Avoidtheherd, thank you brother! Im glad to hear you found this video helpful.
OMFG. I've been searching the internet for a simple to follow video that teaches the basics, instead of skipping over them. I've purched a Foxalien CNC (which I'm waiting for its arrival), and I've been trying to learn the basics of how to use it. Until now, everything I've watched requires me to be smarter than a rocket scientist, with CAD and CAM software that is Einstein level. I really hope that my Foxalien will be compatible with the software that you demonstrated. You Sir, are a bloody legend 👍👍👍
ShaunBuckney, right on brother! Glad to hear this one helped you.
I used to carve woods with some designs like a praying hands,a face etc by using only a sharp knife, a broken glass and a sandpaper. Wish i could buy this CNC Router. Maybe someday, i have this womderful machine in my hand and command it to do even a hard task. 😁 This video is very precious for me.
Mamuana, you will be amazed what a CNC can do to projects like you are describing. Keep working hard and pick yourself out a machine! I think it will be very rewarding for you.
Newbie here. Best I’ve seen so far. You’re my go to guy now.
Geoff, right on brother! Welcome to the wonderful world of CNC.
I absolutely love this video! Will watch it again when I'm in front of my machine.
Christopher, I'm happy to hear it my friend. Glad to see that this video helped you so much.
Garrett, wish you knew how many times I watch your videos, over and over and over. I have a hard time learning but I stick to it. Thanks sooo much for your help. Just getting started trying to get a drilling path for my spoil board. Good thing you are there to help!
Raymond, right on brother! keep sticking with it and learning. You will be a pro in no time.
Your instructive style of delivering information and knowledge is PERFECT!
JohnCHansen, thanks brother! Glad you liked this one.
Oh man!!! The best invested hour for the last 2 years! Excellent work!!!
Wow, thanks brother! I'm glad it was helpful for you!
@@IDCWoodcraft And many greetings from Serbia!
Another great video Garrett. Very clear explanations of things like profile cuts and what an inside, outside or on cut is. Liked the demonstration of the roll of tape with the board to show this.
Thanks Greg!!!
Your videos are spot on when it comes to detailed instruction Excellent work!
And
Wow. Thanks for sharing the personal side of things. I have been stuck in that box for the past few years. Then life hits you with unexpected curve balls and the item in the desk has crossed my mind more than I would like to admit. Can’t wait till the end of this video to hear the rest of your story.
Hi Steve. Well, you saw the rest of the video. What are your thoughts on the story as it pertains to you being in the box?
Thank you! I've learned more in two hours watching your videos than I have in two years of play around with my machine.
Hey Dave. This is a nice comment to read. Tahnk you
Best beginner CNC video I have watched! Garrett, thank you so much.
Tyler, thats great to hear! Glad it taught you the things you need to get ahead in CNC!
Excellent video,many thanks Garrett.I have learnt a lot by watching this video…thanks again from the U.K.🇬🇧
Im glad you liked the video Geoffrey. Happy to hear that you learned a lot.
I think I have found my path to learning Vectric and my new CNC. Exceptional detail. Exceptional knowledge of the material and great presentation style. I think I'm in for watching a lot/all of your videos. Probably some of them several times until the lesson sinks in. Thanks for putting together a fantastic set of videos to learn a complex topic.
Hi Mike. I'm glad these videos are helping you. You might want to download the PDF I put together with all the videos I've created. That way you'll have them all in one place and you won't have to search UA-cam for your answers that are so hard to find sometimes lol .
Here's the link to download the PDF
bit.ly/3mLHGfI
Thank you for making this video. Excellent job on explaining things. I'm new to CNC and a little bit overwhelmed, however with your videos i am gaining lots of confidence.
Looking forward to starting my Longmill |CNC up and trying it out
Thanks Garrett
Hi Mike. Yes, it definitely can be intimidating. You might like this download PDF. It has all the videos I've made put in proper groups and in order. Here's the link → bit.ly/3mLHGfI
Garrett is incredible. As a new CNC owner for the first, this video is an outstanding compilation of not only learning CNC but also learning how to use and design in CNC software, the does and don'ts and much more! It is definitely worth the one hour you will spend with Garrett. I will be watching hi other videos to help enhance my CNC abilities. Thank you Garrett!!
Dominick, wow thanks for all the kind words brother. I'm humbled to be a part of your journey. Keep up the great work!
New to CAD / CAM and CNC - thank you for a very good comprehensive overview - concepts explained clearly - even the gotchas!
DayWorks, glad this one helped you! Keep working hard and learning everything you can.
I cannot express how much this video has helped and cleared all most common questions I have as a beginner. Thank you and hopefully we can still get more videos.
Jashuad, you're very welcome! There will be more to come my friend!
My CNC is finally being wired up tomorrow. It has taken me almost 5 months to find a electrician to upgrade my house for the CNC router I purchased. Day 1 is tomorrow. My semi-retirement is now in the works. Thank you for a great video and some life changing advise.
Good luck for tomorrow Kurt, hope everything goes well ; )
When you first see your CNC machine going through it's motions I'm sure you'll find things pretty amazing, you can finally sit back and say "I did that"!
To create something out of nothing ............... there's no greater satisfaction!
All the best mate ; )
TURK
Well, Kurt, I have responded a day after you left this comment. So, is that bad boy running?
@@IDCWoodcraft It is up and running. Will be making a program and giving it my all. But tomorrow. It was a long exhausting day and want to be fresh. FYI the machine is a Laguna Swift 4 x4.
Thanks very much, with this explanation indeed learned more than all the other UA-cam video;s Vectic uses.
WJ, you are so welcome my friend. Happy to hear you learned a lot from this one.
Garrett,
Great video as always. Thanks for explaining everything it is really appreciated.
You're so welcome brother! I'm glad it was helpful!
An awesome video certainly cleared lot of the fog! Thanks Garrett.
Hey Rob. Good. What do you think helped the most? These questions always help me make better videos next time.
So I'm now moving last week's house number video to my second carve attempt. Thanks G!
Hey James, you got it. So glad your following. You will save yourself so much time and frustration.
WOW THANKS YOU ARE THE MOST CLEAR INSTRUCTOR THAT I'VE SEEN
Vic, wow thank you so much I'm humbled! Welcome aboard to the channel my friend!
Hello, thanks for all the tips and shortcuts you are teaching. I’m 60 and always been fascinated computers and cnc machines, enough to get my self to built my own to learn everything possible I can, quick as I can.
I have the same feeling on your side personal moments shared story. Keep your Glock or whatever it is on your safe and have it ready for the apocalypse, but for now there’s lots of kids (and old kids) that needs and appreciates you. You are doing good to the Universe!
Hey Mauricio. CNC and computers are a lot of fun, for sure. I promise my friend, the gun will be kept very safe as it always has been.
P.S. I bought the Longmill machine Garrett is using in this video and honestly the Science folks have been courteous, polite and extremally instrumental when I got stuck, Thank you Science and you Garrett .
Stevie, glad to hear you like your longmill and the gents over at Sienci have been great too!
Thank you - this was incredibly clear and concise. This video alone will save me from making a ton of mistakes.
I'm awaiting delivery of my first machine and this will let me start off on a solid footing. Great job!
John, you are so welcome my friend! Congrats on your new machine.
Hello, I am a beginner. I jus bought a CNC ROUTRT 3018 PRO. I like yopur videos. thanks
Humberto, welcome aboard! And you're so welcome brother!
Thanks for sharing your stories. Thanks for your excellent tutorials on CNC from a fellow Longmill owner.
Hey Gary (and brother Longmill owner), thank you for the compliment on the videos, and you are welcome my friend.
Garrett,
Two of my favorite quotes are:
"The Greatest tragedy is a wasted life."
"No one on their death bed ever said, I wish I spent more time at the office."
Thanks for another great video and sharing a part of your life story.
When I was younger, I too was working at a job I hated. I remember my legs
seemingly turning into lead as I walked up the stairs leading to the factory floor.
I finally made the decision to go back to school. It was the best decision I ever
made. After my electronics education I went from laboring in a factory to
working in the engineering department for a local electronics firm. Even though
it was a good job, I still had another yearning to do some creative and technical
writing. Finally, after I retired, I started writing and submitting manuscripts to a
few newspapers and electronics magazines. A long story short, and to my
amazement, they actually paid me for the manuscripts I submitted. - Like you
said, you have to believe in yourself and do what makes you happy.
I wish you continued health and success.
Hey Roger. Isn't it amazing when we do something we want and not 'waste our life'?
Thank you for sharing part of your story. Mark twain said "Don't think, Ddon't try, just do"
Very moving and emotional story Garrett, and I can relate ........................... I haven't watched the entire video yet ( only 12 minutes in ) I don't have a self destruct seed in my body, but life has a way of destroying ones self believe in society, life in general. With all the BS going on in the world and people being what they are ( very few good folk around these days! ) I chose a different approach to change things around, make me a better person as I didn't like what of was becoming. Part of the 'rat race'. Irritable and stressed-out all the time.
So I quit my job, sold my apartment and moved to a tiny village in central France! Away from all the mundane BS and a 9 to 5 job I could finally do what I wanted to do ................ and that is to make stuff ; ) I'm happiest when alone in my workshop tinkering. After many years of research, learning CAD/CAM/CNC and various materials I now have a viable product that people are screaming out for. I've finally given meaning to my life! ; )
No doubt you have also
All the best my friend ; )
TURK - France
Turk, this was an awesome share and paints the picture of creating a purposeful life very well. Getting out of the rat race sure makes a difference, doesn't it?
I'd love to see pictures of what you do. Maybe you can send some to me.
@@IDCWoodcraft Apologies for not getting back to you earlier Garrett .................... been busy watching your other videos! ; )
I've been very impressed by your 'mentoring' of Mark on how to successfully run a cnc business. I will comment on the appropriate videos in the series ( so far I've only got up to episode 4 ). I like Mark, and I can definitely understand where he' coming from, some parts are very emotional and I feel for him .............. such a heavy weight on his shoulders. I've only watched 3 in the series so far but already I can see what a transformation your guidance has made to him. He already seems to be a much happier man.
Well done sir ; )
Unlike you guys machining wood into creative works of art, I work primarily with plastics, as I'm designing car headlights. I use my CNC machine for profiling the parts I vacuum form on my vacuum forming machine. If there's one thing that I've already taken from your 'Running a successful CNC business' series, is to have a 'niche' market and to know what your clients need or want. I was lucky that my 'niche' fell into my lap as it were, I got tired of having to buy garbage mass produced stuff ( usually Chinese or Taiwanese aftermarket headlights ) that were not as advertised, and to put it bluntly .............. downright dangerous when driving at night.
My goal, to design and manufacture a set of high quality hand made headlights for my targeted vehicle ( same as the vehicle I drive, a VW T4 Transporter - known as a EuroVan in the states and in Canada ). I joined all the T4 enthusiast forums available ( in the UK and in France ) from there my market research began. I posted images and wrote some articles ( of which I am still doing ) of my intentions, before I knew it I had over 20 orders! and I was still only at the concept stage!
It has grown immensely in the past couple of years, I have now accumulated over 200 orders!
People are now getting tired of cheap ( sometimes even over-priced ) Chinese tat, that only lasts a year or two, with 'built-in obsolescence' being a thing these days, it's about time we went back to creating high quality products that will last years and work reliably for years. There's no way a large manufacturer would even consider making a 'niche' quality hand built product, they're only interested in profits!
Anyway, sorry for the long post, but I do like to talk about my custom made headlights ................. it's my passion ; )
TURK
@@t4concepts Hi Turk. That is quite a story and you have started to go about it the right way. Obviously!
Take a look at what you just wrote. Because you stated your avatars pain. Cheap stuff that doesn't last. Sometimes, Chinese made products are not always that bad. However, the perception is what you want to focus in on, which you are.
I'm very excited that you have found a niche that's in your passion. Keep researching your avatar, pay close attention to what they write in their posts. They always tell you what they like, or what they don't like. Either by pictures or the what they write.
From that, when you write posts, you use the same wording with the solution.
The more you do that, the faster your business will grow.
It might be a good idea, if you haven't already, to create a brand logo. Keep it simple and straightforward. Picture logos that are very simple stand out .
Think Twitter, Apple etc.
Hi Garrett. I`m completely new to CNC Routers. Your explanation of how to use a CNC Router and what to look out for, is just fantastic. Keep up the good work, thanks.
Erick, you're so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video. For me it has unlocked some of the mysteries of CNC's and wetted my appetite to learn more. As a woodworker in his 70's, who recognises the physical limitations that ageing imposes, this looks really interesting. I can see that a CNC CNC fosters creativity and opens up a range of possibilities for smaller projects. Your explanations are clear, detailed and precise. They bear the hallmarks of an excellent teacher. Over the past 8 years, You Tube content has given me the knowledge that has allowed me progress from a newbie woodworker to one that makes hardwood items of furniture that are of a saleable quality. I am grateful to everyone who has assisted me in that process. However, I have to say that your style of teaching and content are outstanding and facilitate rapid learning and confidence building. I look for to watching more content so that I can make an informed decision and perhaps progress to being a credible CNC user. So again a very big thank you.
Hi Mike. first of all, thank you for the compliments on my teaching style. Yes, I want this journey to be a joyful learning experience for those who venture into it.
You are right. there are so many possibilities in this little world of CNC. The imagination is really the only limit.
I would love to see some of the creations you have made over those years. Maybe you could send a couple pictures sometime. Do you currently have a CNC router, or are you just exploring the possibilities to expand your craft?
Thanks for sharing your story!
Hey Gustavo. You are welcome.
Outstanding video. For a beginner, it's just what I've needed.
Lester, glad to hear it got you on the right track my friend.
Garrett you are the best I am learning alot even thought I don't have a machine yet. I know I will go back to your video again Thank you
Hey Charlie. Make sure you let me know when you get that machine. When is is going to happen?
This is a needed instruction. Also, thanks for your story and I am glad you made good decisions.
Hi Tim. Thank you. I am glad as well.
One of the best tutorial videos I've seen on any subject. Well done!!! I've subscribed.
Jim, wow thanks! Welcome aboard brother!
This tutorial absolutely great. I will definitely follow your lessons.
Thank you
Clark, thanks for the kind words brother! Happy cutting!
thank you very much for explaining the most things that I've been locking at . great work
Hi Mohammad. You are welcome. I am so glad this is helping you!
Thank you! Excellent job!! I learned so much!!
Hey Donna. You are welcome! what do you think was your biggest takeaway in this one?
@CNC Routers, Beginners & Beyond - Garrett Fromme hmmm biggest take away I would say the understanding of the toolpaths whether you set it to on it, inside or outside, etc. I really loved the visual with the roll of black tape. That was my aha moment. 😅
I loved the point about the two green dots to save time thanks alot
Hey Tarig. It is such a simple little thing to make it go faster.
Hi Garret, thank you so much for this video, explained so much so clearly I think I will be up and running in no time. You have a new subscriber definitely. Bought my secondhand machine a while ago and set it up to a point but was a bit lost and now confident to proceed, thanks 👍
Jeremy, you are so welcome my friend. Glad to hear this video helped sort some things out for you.
awesome inspiration, thanks for the video , never let the dreams die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Electron...you know it brother!
Excellent video tutorial. Clear and concise. I'm new to the world of CNC routers and project design. Your video did just as said in the description. Hats off to you Garrett! Keep up the good work. I am following you.
MichaelMatey, so glad to hear that brother!
Thank You so much. I am at the “about to buy” stage and was a bit overwhelmed with the various bits of knowledge required. In this video, you put it across in a very, very, very understandable way, covering wee hints and tips in an extremely competent manner. You have moved me up to the “get to the shops” stage. Look forward to having at look at your other tutorials. Many thanks once again 👍
Jim, I am happy to hear that this video clarified some things for you. Jumping into CNC can be a bit overwhelming, so I am happy to hear that you found this video helpful!
Well done! I'm thinking about getting into the CNC area and your video answered a lot of my questions. Thank you.
Claude, thank you and I'm glad to help brother!
I've been using Carbide Motion up till now but being a big Garrett fan I thought i'd give G sender a try. I really like it and have even started using my Triquetra touch plate again which was just gathering dust. A big thanks to Garrett and Sienci.
Hey Bruce. Gsender is pretty awesome compared to the others. I'm glad you switched.
Super helpful introduction to CNC. And I have to say loving gSender!!
Steve, glad you liked this one! gSender is a great piece of software.
By far the #1 video I needed. I am brand new to the hobby and was looking at the Longmill as my first CNC router. Great content.
CaptainBeard, I am so happy to hear that brother! Welcome to the wonderful world of CNC.
Thank you for your helpful videos.
Hi DS. You are welcome, my friend.
Wow!! I just came across your channel. I am considering getting a CNC machine but have been hesitant because I know nothing about it. As an artist it’s something I’ve been wanting to learn to be able to create wood projects I just didn’t know how or where to start. You make this so simple. I appreciate it. I will continue watching you to learn and save up to buy one. Thanks so much!
Andrew, glad to have you here brother! Everyone starts in their CNC journey where you are now so don't be intimated. CNC machines could be a great addition to your creative toolkit!
I have been really enjoying watching all your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Todd, so nice of you! You're welcome my friend!
Thank you sir!! I'm new to CNC routers and I 'm learning a lot from you.
JaredSC, you are so welcome brother!
Hi Garrett, I succeeded in cutting the circle and square! It is thanks to you, I am so so happy. Again thanks so much. I’ll try to regularly contribute as if you had Patreon.
Hi Simone. I could see the excitement in your message! I'm so glad to see this. I don't use patreon because it is a pain in the ass. Instead I use by a cup of coffee. It works much better. Here's the link if you ever want to contribute. Thank you

Awesome video tutorial, thank you Garrett
David, you're so welcome! Glad to help!
Great video and great explanation! You do a nice job! When I get a minute to breathe, busy busy before the holidays, I'll be diving in deeper on your videos (and the CNC for that matter).
Hey Todd. I'll be here making more for you!
I've got a yeti smartbench coming so now I have to learn! I'm a software engineer so I'm comfortable with computers but am coming to this completely green. This was the most helpful video, and done in a way that I really understood. I now understand the process and can build on that while waiting for my machine.
Cameron, right on brother! I'm excited for you to get your machine and get started! I'm not sure if you've already seen the PDF I've put together for beginners yet. But, it has a list of all the videos I've created in order so that they are easier to find when just starting out. I think you'll find it super helpful!

Amazing video I feel fully confident to move into the amazing world of CNC machines thank you
taralovewestwest, you're so welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful and I'm looking forward to seeing what you create my friend! Happy cncing!
Great startup for novice (me). Thanks!! You are a great teacher!
That's great to hear Jeff! Happy to hear that you are all set up on your CNC!
Thankyou. Loved this video. Will watch again.
Ftoobs, I am glad this video helped you brother. Watching it a second time should really let it sink in.
Garrett, thank you so much, I was struggling and getting annoyed
You guided me in the right direction, heading out to my longmill and see if we can be friends again, lol
Thanks again
Hey Nelson. Thin of your longmill like a girlfriend. You have to smooth up to her. Get to know her quirks. This video will get you in the right direction.
If you're in any Facebook groups, maybe you can share this,. I mean, if you had the frustration, others do too.
Thank you for taking time to make this. I've had my CNC for almost and year and have not used it yet because I was not confident enough to use it. With this video, I believe I can start. Great video and once again, thank you!!!!!
Hi Brandon. I'm glad this video gave you some confidence. there is not more time to wait. We never know until we start. A year is long enougn. GO FOR IT BROTHER!
looking forward to following your videos
Hey Lyle. I have a bunch here for you, for sure.
Hey i'm a newbie CNCer and I wanted to thank you for all these information, I appreciate the tips to use on vectric softwares it saves a lot of time.
Moncefboukhenane7098, glad to help brother! Happy cutting!
Gonna said wow to your video, this is like 1 on 1 teachings and is a big help for me. Has been subscribed. Thanks
Hongtecklee135, welcome aboard brother! I'm glad the videos have been helpful so far. I'm happy to be a part of your CNC journey and hopefully make things a little easier along the way!
Enjoyed the video, very informative. I appreciate the fact that you are furnishing support docs for future help.
Steve, you are so welcome my friend. Happy to hear that you found it helpful.
very good guide for beginners took some of my confusion away
Neville, im happy to hear this one helped you brother!
THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT
Hi Vasilis. you are welcome. I hope your CNC router journey is going well.
Great video! I'm just getting into CNC. Haven't made my first cut yet. I subscribed and ordered the 3/16 bit. Will be watching more of your videos to learn. Thanks! 👍
Gary, glad you liked this one brother! Welcome to the world of CNC.
I am at a point in my life where your story hit me..... Hit me hard... I feel a bit more confidant in not only myself but in my dream... I can not support IDC Woodcraft right now. I need to do some things first. I will buy the bits and get the CNC in the near future. Keep up the Great Work Garrett....
Hi Michael. So you are there. As you know...I understand. Write out what you want (not what you don't want), and focus on that every day. You will be amazed at what things look like in 6 months compared to now.
Exceptional videos. I just bought my CNC a few weeks ago. Have been spending time to figure out the SW (from the vendors tutorials) and then I found your UA-cam videos. WOW is all I can say. Running out now to get some MDF so I can make my spoil board, get it attached to the bed of my CNC. Probably, will use gSender instead of Ready2Control. Enjoy the coffees...
Jay, I'm glad I could help! I'm excited for you to get your spoil board done and for you to get to cutting! Keep up the good work and thanks for the coffees!
Yes!!! I graduated. 😁😁 Kidding aside. Well Done Video. Easy to Understand. Thanks.
Hal, happy to hear it my friend. Glad to hear it helped.
Excellent! Thank you
Niel, you are so welcome.
Great tight summary…… I immediately subscribed and look forward to viewing future (and past 😉) content 👍👍😎👍👍
Jowl. Welcome to the community! From what I've been told, you will get a lot out othe videos I make for you and other CNC'ers. I hope you feel the same sentiment. Of course, I'm always open for suggestions.
I need a few bits for my CNC and I ordered one from Amazon…….then like a fool realized I should have bought it from you to show appreciation for what you are doing for all of us.
Question…..where can I go buy some bits?
Hey Chris, thanks for your support brother. I appreciate it! You can buy bits off of my website. Here's the link my friend → idcwoodcraft.com/cnc-router-bits-2/
That was really useful and friendly. Thanks!
Maciej, you are so welcome my friend!
This is very helpful, thanks!!
Zahraa, you are so welcome!
55 excellent minutes!.
Jose, thank you!
I reconize your situation, and sometimes i feel i'm in the same situation like that.
And i completly agree with you, people just gotta do and try the things they like to do.
Also nice information, about the cnc :) thanks!
Hey Bruutt! Haven't seen you in a while. I think everyone goes thru this from time to time. It's when it doesn't go away that it means its time for a change.
@@IDCWoodcraft True true :) glad you are happy now, and found your passion.
Did you noticed the pb on instagram ? i sended you some pictures of my new machine some time ago.
Thank you for these videos. I have a longmill on order. I watched 2 of your videos one of them I listened while I was on a 4hr drive. I now feel like I know where to start and how to start when I get my cnc set up.
jessekurisko5659, you are so welcome my friend. Glad to hear that this video helped you.
Hi Garrett, I hope this finds you in the very best of health, It has taken a long time to find your site but well worthwhile and I have spent many hours watching and learning just one small thing could you please number each basic video as I'm sure all who search out the basic would find this an advantage especially if they are like me and review some many times. keep up the outstanding work and thanks very much
Hi Russell. Yes, the order is becoming an issue. Rather than number the videos (that would take a long time editting each one), I will be setting up my website and putting out a sheet that lists them in order.
Thanks Garrett.
Hey Lawrence, you're welcome.
I spent 3.5 days trying to figure this out. Finally got it to work. Took 2 computers step by step. Wish there was a book. I am not buying a machine until I can work the VCarve somewhat. I am giving myself 6 months. I used Mastercam when I was machining. So far nothing crosses over. I'm retired and just plan on hobby stuff.
Hi RJ. Wow, that was a bit of a challenge. But I'm glad you got it working. I'm also glad your dealing with first things first. Smart!
@@IDCWoodcraft My biggest challenge was switching the cutter path to the outside. Got er done ! I am trying to figure out how to fillet corners. Mastercam was easy to do that.
Don't every get in that box again, we need your talent and patience for all of us newbies in cnc.. thank you
Hey Mike. I promise I will stay out of the box. Not willing to go there.
i really appreciate your work
Nathan, thanks so much brother!
Amazing guy, great explanation… so clear 😊
Speloto, glad you liked this one brother! Happy to hear that it helped you.
