Cheers mate for getting so far in life, love your work
My father, the mechanical engineer, had an office right next to a tool and die shop, and I had free run of both. Going from the musty ammonia smell of the old-school blueprint machine to the acrid smell of milled steel is still somthing I can remember from my childhood quite vividly. You are an artist sir, and even if the only thing I can say I have contributed is my meager views to add to your UA-cam take, I am glad to have done so. Can't wait to see what beauty you plan to share with the world. Cheers mate.
What a cool childhood memory.
Dayuuum boi! That's a fancy cube right there! Stoked to see all of the upcoming changes! :D
DUDE! I've been hoping you will finally get a new Datron machine!!! I'm so happy for you man! You can make some amazing stuff, and you deserve a better machine. Congrats!!!!!! I'm currently making my own vertical milling machine. Wish you lick on getting the new machine and workshop!
Alex, so happy for you. Congrats on your new machine
The most dapper case modder in the history of case modding!
Congratulations on the new shop and new machine Alex, well deserved!
At $300K+ USD for new M8 Cubes, that's quite an upgrade! Are you going to start producing consumer parts in volume with it (e.g. distros etc.)?
Seems like an extraordinary expense for one-off modwork (as fantastic as each project undoubtedly is), and the new workshop certainly can't be cheap.
Indeed my intentions here are mainly batch production of a number of parts I've wanted to make for aaaages.
$300k? Why not buy a brother or robodrill with high rpm spindle option. way more versatile and half and way cheaper.
"... my entire router fits in there."
Me: "Yeah. My entire apartment fits in there."
Very awesome! Datron is the ideal machine for reservoirs and distros and Ive been saying it forever. Congrats man! I should be joining the Datron club next spring! Been one of my goals since I started machining! The controller is second to none in all of the machining world. I can guarantee it makes up a big portion of the price tag. Its going to be so nice to not have to stop my other machine to make a fixture for a new product, when RnD is done, another area the datron excels, and a new product is ready, whip up the production fixture on the Datron and pop it right into production and the production machine never misses a beat. The workflow is going to be a game changer. Cheers man! Awesome to see this!
I can’t even imagine what “taking *your* work to the next level” will even mean. So looking forward to seeing it happen.
That was the wording I expected, but he specifically said "to take my work to where I want it to be" which was a nice detail I really appreciated for some odd reason.
This is just amazing! Really happy for you mate, congrats!😁
Never have I seen a more technical modder. #1 for sure!
Very nice. I can't wait to see what you turn out.
I was very happy to hear this news, and I hope you find a good place for the new workshop. So we are waiting for new and wonderful works.
Best wishes to you Alex!
Glad to see things are getting more serious with your machining!
As an ex-Mazak CNC Service Engineer, congrats for the new machine, it will for sure improve your working conditions and parts output/quality 10 fold.
Unfortunately I'm not in the UK or I would give you an help in the new workshop renovation and electrical and pneumatic front for free, since it was part of the installation of new machines if the customer wanted to. Some had their own team to do that and I just needed to arrive there and check if everything was in conformity and then connect the machine to said sources, then clean, assemble, level and test before delivering to the customer.
Fantastic news, I look forward to seeing all the new things to come!
What a titan of a machine! Thanks for the update man. Good luck with everything!
So excited for you my friend. Your content is second to none and you well deserve the new workshop and I'm looking forward to watching and following the progress.
I remember seeing bit tech do an EK review and slid in a suggestion To compare Optimus water-blocks.
That video turned me to that company and other wise I wouldn’t know they even existed. In any case I would love to see more review content.
Datron machines are amazing. I wish I could add one to my shop.
Congratulations Alex, can't wait to see the new shop and future projects!
Good luck with a new workshop. Wishing you the best. Thank you for the news video.
Very cool, congratulations on the new machine! Can't wait to see what you create with it.
Congratulations! Looking forward for some amazing builds. Your builds were already awesome. Congrats again
Great news Alex! cant wait to see what you create and hopefully get a sample :)
can't wait to see your new workshop hope to see it soon!
Whoop whoop! New workshop and good choice on the 5 axis M8 cube!
As a person that work with CNC machines always wondered what you could end up producing if you end up having access to something like that! Congratulations!
I'm so jealous right now... Enjoy your new Cube m8!
Ayyyy
Great news! Can't wait for your new workshop and machine!
Congrats on the new workshop!
That's some incredible software engineering going on behind that amazing machine :O
Congratulations on the new workshop and looking forward to any update about that new machine
Your development is very impressive. I've been with you since the beginning (with one account change). I'm happy for you and I'm excited about the new workshop and the new milling machine.
Words can't describe how jealous I am. Datron machines are the dream!
Holy, my man is lookin' absolutely fresh.
Nice! Really looking forward to the next updates. Looks like a great machine :)
That’ll turn everything upto eleven 😁
Sounds exciting mate, best of luck hoping things run smoothly for you!
I have no idea what I just watched but it was nice to see Dick Dastardly do something apart from try to catch a pigeon
I’ve gotta fund the planes somehow!
You should try some flame polishing on the acrylic if you still end up with some of those micro lines. It might round some of the corners, so it might not be best for geometric patterns, but for things with rounded or flat surfaces it should make the acrylic perfectly clear.
Great upgrade and good luck with the new workshop... 👏😎
Man... I can't figure how you can afford that machine, it is so expensive, but anyway, I wish you the best, you deserve it.
I was wondering if you were building a dedicated CNC shed. New workshop will be awesome. And the new machine obviously. Even on my phone the better finish on the part when showing them side by side was noticeable. Congrats.
Wow Alex the new acrylic blocks look great
Next time Mic "Philip" @Datron Technology Great presentation
Love that machine
Like a Kool Ass Robot
Highly anticipating what's coming next!
Now you can chunk out those parts instantly. Get those builds knocked out in no time! Sweet! You won't need to time lapse the CNC footage, just film in real time!
It's going to be nuts, can't wait to tackle some 5 axis jobs
Very very nice 👌 existed to see future projects.
Awesome news! I always shake my head at what Linus's people are doing in their huge workshop with their bigger tools and how janky it is compared to what you deliver out of a garden shed. Gonna be great to see what you can do with a proper machine and shop. Also what you're up to with that professional CNC. I hope you'll stay with us and you'll still do unique mods like Ensis. Also that your friends at EK will stay friends even if you go and compete with them now ;)
YES Mate! i'm so happy for you! you've deserved a machine like this for the longest time and i can't wait to see you put this beauty to good use! i hope it'll let you market some of your incredible designs and open up many new new opportunities for you. to think what you'll be able to do when your machine isn't holding you back! very exciting!!!
Something tells me your neighbors will be just as excited
yey new workshop ;D
8:32 .82 BAR is 11.89309 PSI. That part is what 6x6" ? 36 square inches? 432 lbs. of holding power. I'd say that pretty high.
Yeah it certainly wasn’t going anywhere any time soon
awesome machine
I want one! I don't need one and I'd hardly ever use one but I want one!! 🤣
Looking forward to future videos. 😎
Is that a baby Renishaw probe? It's so cute. Not a bad way to spend £230,000 I reckon.
Having trouble finding somone to do the cnc job, you should try to make a custom distro business with your new machine !
I would buy a Distro including the PC arround it. I Love all the PC you made meanwhile.
going all in! big investment, hopefully it is a success
How can we support your business?
Keep up with the videos and all shall be revealed :D
nice mate. i'm working on a NEO
This is a perfect machine for you! You just got so much of your life back! Haha!
Or have I just signed away the rest of it??
@@bittech1 I went from a hobby mill to a haas. Biggest commitment of my life besides my house and so completely worth it. If you were like me, a lot of times you did stuff to minimize toolchanges and to not stress the machine. You can now do things the way they should be and it will be much faster and much better finishes. Hell you could start producing some of your cases instead of them being one offs.
@@keithmcelhinney6993 1000% on the point about changing designs to fit the machine. So many times I've had to compromise massively in areas just to make it possible or somewhat feasible for a part. Great example is the backplate in Ensis, that thing took me two solid days and a fixture, would be like 20 minutes on the M8.
For sure you have to go with time and get new machines but there are also cons on those nice touchy functions. Some simple processes might take longer and can be little bit complicated. But in few weeks/months you can handle those with closed eyes ^^
It's going to be very interesting getting to know the control, the system felt very intuitive at the demo, but the proof will be in the pudding for sure.
So excited!
Congrats!
The Datron's are so choice!
What is this?
Alex is evolving....
I absolutely love the Datron CNC machine, but they are just dam too expensive for the average Joe.
When Will whe see Alex again making things in huis nee shop in the datron would be Nice to see mustage Guy again alway good video’s
Datron Neo
What made you choose the M8 over the Neo, considering the significant price difference.
Much larger cutting area, bigger too change, more powerful spindle, 5 axis plus a bunch of major workholding advantages.
Craftsman!!
did you team up with "der B8uer" because he also bought an datron m8 :-P
I miss alex... where do i find him?
wew.. M8 Datron >
Dear Santa....
man is it hard to take you serious with that stach
cheapest used is ~$250k... not exactly bang for buck... But i suppose if youre going into a production line it may be a good investment...
That machine costs over £200,000; secret millionaire over here
CNC por*
you might actually have space to walk in your new workshop
Have you had your mustache 3D printed?
Tis machined

What about the Datron NEO. This thing isnt anny bigger then your current maschine
Aside from being far bigger, I don’t actually need bigger, I need better. The Neo doesn’t really offer what I need a machine for currently.
@@bittech1 I happen to have access to a Neo, and I must say that machine is wonderful. I have the 4:th axis too, but haven't started using it yet.
Now I understand that the number of Datron users in your subscriber base may be scarce (I could never afford a Neo myself), but we would appreciate it enormously if you could share your Feeds&Speeds settings as well as tool suggestions for acrylic and other materials.
@@marcin.ronndahl I’d be happy to
I don't understand the subscriber count...
Looks like a $200k machine
Hello it will be great to be able to have the French translation on youtube. Please
