Can Benchtop CNC Routers Handle This CNC Bit?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- This video demonstrates the “BEAST” CNC router bit from IDC Woodcraft on benchtop CNC routers, such as the Longmill MK2, Millwright, Onefinity, etc.
The "BEAST" CNC router bit from IDC Woodcraft is a true game-changer, in that it virtually chops your run time down by 10X when you need to remove a lot of material for your CNC project. This tool is specifically designed for hardcore routing operations on your CNC woodworking projects, making it an ideal choice for those who want to level up their CNC routing game and make the carving process a whole lot faster.
However, please be aware that this “BEAST” needs to be tamed on benchtop CNC routers. While it's capable of devouring hardwood at an astonishing rate of 1000 inches per minute with a full 1-inch depth of cut and an 80% step over on industrial CNC routers, benchtop routers are unable to fully harness its power due to limitations in spindle power and overall machine rigidity.
But don't fret! Benchtop CNC router users can still benefit from the "BEAST". Operating at optimal speeds of around 80 to 90 inches per minute, with a 1/2 inch deep cut and an 80% step-over, will offer great results without overburdening your machine. However, it's important to note that these values are starting points and adjustments might be necessary based on your router's capability.
The "BEAST" is more than just a roughing and milling bit; it's a tool that can transform your project run time while sparing your clean cutting bits. Just remember to respect its capabilities and limitations when using it on a benchtop CNC router.
Remember, the "BEAST" is not just about speed; it's about improving the overall efficiency and life span of your router bit, thereby saving you time and money in the long run. Happy routing with the "BEAST"!

Wow, that bit is really a BEAST!
Caps_Locke, glad to hear you like this one brother!
Nice demonstration
rjpatt11959, glad to hear you liked this one brother.
I got the Beast last week and it is awesome. Saves a lot of time!!! Thanks Garrett
Parts, you are so welcome my friend.
All your bits are top notch and I have 2 more coming for Christmas one being the beast and 1 being your tray and bowl.Do you recommend taking the last little bit out with the tray bit?
That's exactly what you want to do
How about showing how to do a finishing parh after the Beast.
GrahamRankin, that is number 1 on my video list brother!
Looks awesome, need to sort out what I need to order, unfortunately the shipping to Sweden is not that fun so might need to order something more to test it out.
LarsDunemark, perfectly understandable brother. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
I have a Onefinity Elite Woodworker with a 2.2kw spindle attached. Would you still run the same settings? I guess it would be less strain on the spindle vs a makita trim router to begin with.
the-wooden-beard, I recommend downloading the IDC Woodcraft app and then you'll be able to adjust the setting (router and material) for your projects to be more accurate.

@@IDCWoodcraft Will do, thanks!
Oh My Garrett, Is the Longmill O.K?
Michaellevine, it is a great CNC machine brother!
RPM used on industrial one?
21000 up to 1000 ipm
I wanna see the beast vs the hog. Both pushed to failure. Bit break? Wood slips? Stepper motors stop? What gives first? Don't get me wrong. I like this video but I would like to see more torture. I also wish places would Give an estimate on how long or how many inches a bit is supposed to last Under correct parameters of course.
Adamizon, thanks for sharing your thoughts brother. You've definitely given me some food for thought on this!
Hi Garrett. That really is one hell of a bit! I have the HOG and it really chews through material like no other. Is the BEAST just a longer version of the HOG, or are there other differences? - Joe
The beast is a shorter version. Even stronger.
This article explains it all

Thanks, Garrett!@@IDCWoodcraft
Just three strips of blue tape and CA for the hold down?
Dunhamguitars, its amazing glue brother!
Can confirm - the Beast and the Hog are worth every penny. I own a Onefininty OG woodworker and with the stock motors I can do .50 depth @ 80 IPM with a 65mm chinese spindle set up.
shambles75, It's great to hear that you're getting solid performance from your Onefinity OG woodworker! Those machines can really deliver impressive results, especially when they're set up right. Keep enjoying your projects!
I bought the HOG for the same reason… So what’s the difference between the HOG and the BEAST?
Hi Henry. I created a post that explained it. Here's the link.

Is using it for smaller passes 1/8 to 1/4 bad for the bit?
CinemaCakes, Using smaller passes like 1/8 to 1/4 inch is actually a common practice and can be beneficial for the bit. It helps reduce the load on the tool, leading to less wear and tear over time. The key is to ensure that you're feeding at the right speed to avoid overheating. Just pay attention to your material and bit type for best results!
I have The Beast bit; love it! I ran it on a Yeti Smartbench spindle. It makes the same noise that your Longmill makes. Scary fast! I love watching the Beast move quickly through the project. Unfortunately, the Yeti threw a hard halt, stopped the job and gave a warning message "Boundary Issue." I'm replacing the Yeti Smartbench with a Longmill, but I don't want to over load the Longmill. If I understand your recommendation it is to run at 85 inches per minute, no more than .5 inch depth and 80% step over. Is that correct? Does the type of wood effect the recommendation?
waynehyatt5565, glad to hear you like the BEAST brother. As for your feeds and speeds, I do have the IDC woodcraft app that has all the feeds and speeds for every IDC Woodcraft bit right on your phone. It also lets you select feeds and speeds depending upon different material types. Give it a shot

Hello Garrett!!! Incredible tools!!! Would you be able to show in vectric how you use the finishing pass with another tool so we can maximize pocket tool path for time.Do you draw an extra smaller pocket tool path and then the tool path you need to finish at. Hope this makes sense. Incredible display of engineering for that tool!!!
GrantPeckford, that is a great idea brother! This video is number 1 on my videos to make. Ill keep you in the loop.
Adding the beast and your roundover set to my collection very soon, thanks for posting all the videos you do!
NWGR, You're welcome! I'm glad you found the videos helpful. Enjoy your new additions to your collection!
What about a 96x48 ShopBot
RC Junkie, the BEAST would love that machine brother!
Hi, I bought the Badger and the Beast and with all do respect the QC Code on your bits that takes you to the specs are not clear on what we should be running them at and for what type of woods. I do think you should up date them with some type of chart. Most of us can not afford to keep buying bits
Betobeto, I have the perfect thing for you, I have the IDC woodcraft app that has all the feeds and speeds for every IDC Woodcraft bit right on your phone. It also lets you select different material types so you can ensure you are running the right settings for the right material! Give it a shot

What about metal material? There is no info about feeds and speeds for any metal
God those were terrifying noises 😅
Dunhamguitars, true that!
I just used my Beast bit today for the first time. I didn’t remove that much material at a time, however, I was amazed at how seemingly easy it cleared out material & it saved on the overall project time.
Very helpful. Thanks Garrett!
GyWO10, glad to hear you like that bit so far brother! Happy CNCing.
🌵 Nothing is gonna "BEAST" that! 🌵
🤣🤣 👏👏👏👏
William, good one brother!
Garrett is telling the truth! That bit is totally unreal! It chews up wood like there is no stopping it. If you don't have it, get it!
Ozguzzi, glad to hear you like this one brother!
