Building a CNC Router and Plasma Machine!
Ғылым және технология
One of the newest tools in Frank's shop is a CNC Router Parts industrial-grade CNC cutting machine. This router and plasma cutter is actually a kit that you can put together, and we go through that process with the help of CNC Router Parts' Drew Cairns. During the assembly, we learn how this machine was designed and see its capabilities in the making of some cool furniture! Next up, plasma cutting!

He's a great technical sales-man. Easy to watch. I'm rubbish on camera; so am very impressed!
Spokesman from the company did an excellent job explaining everything and selling the product (w/o seeming like he was "selling"). Made me want it! nice job.

Without a doubt a very bright fellow. Great to see mechanical engineering be brought into the spotlight in a video like this. It's a great occupation, and I wish I had done it back when I was making such decisions...
Drew knows his stuff. Says a lot about the capabilities of Pro Plasma and CNC Router Parts as a company.

you don't talk with too many mechanical engineers do ya?
This guy knows his stuff. Impressive the amount and detail of considerations that go into such a machine!
I have the CNC Router Parts 48x24 Pro machine with the spindle and couldn't be happier. The CNC Router Parts folks are very helpful and have answered all of my questions...even the dumb rookie questions.
By far my favorite Tested video! So excited to see this develop!!
Man this cnc guy really knows his stuff..... i was a lil unsure about the mdf stuff but to seemlessly switch to talking about metal (my thing) very impressive....... there's some super smart people on this planet...
It’s a really nice way to understanding how your tool works! And it’s fun to build stuff...
You had me at "plasma" …but more seriously, seeing the capability of such efficient manufacturing is awesome. It's very inspiring! I could even see a future version that will be able to place its own plastic nails after recognizing where on the material was safe to place them. Next step: machine orders its own supplies after you tell it what you want it to make… I love it!
Its a beautiful piece of kit thats for sure.
Looks like a well designed machine. A CNC router is a wonderful tool to have. Such a pleasure to watch your imagination come to reality.
I am such a geek! I have watched this twice, it's exactly how I want to set mine up. Thanks for sharing!!

Really interesting video! Thanks for showing the process!
Great questions and Drew was excellent at explaining. Thanks guys
Awesome machine :) Thanks for the elaborate explanations!
Frank looks so happy :D
Sweet multi-aspect gadget. Frank leads a charmed life.
Hey that's cool, this CNC company is only about 30 minutes away from me. Well done, Drew from North Bend, cool job you have. Doing the name proud.
Would love the first project coming out of Franks shop
Drew seems incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Give him a promotion.
I want one for my everlast plasma cutter! The fact it can route too is an added bonus.

All in all, one of the best educational videos I've seen on youtube or anywhere else for that matter, you guys covered all the questions I had and wondered about. Only bummer for you is others will surely take this video and use it as a template, just remember that saying about imitation and flattery. Peace
OMG ,I just noticed the fridge ,love it !
Building, its a professionally built machine, when i watch these young blokes do things like this and the knowledge they have compared to me is that i feel like i am living in the bronze age in comparison.
Thanks, very interesting and in depth look you dont normally get!
Upward/downward force due to pitch of bit must always be taken into account when finishing or removing material. Really cool that material variance and end mill pitch/profile has been taken into account.
SO AWESOME EPISODE !!!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING WITH US. CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK TO MY "OPEN BUILD" CNC :)
This is what I want for Christmas. I have been a good boy.
26:14 Ayy FIRST Robotics. It’s cool that I’m starting to hear it mentioned more and more in places that aren’t directly involved
I drooled through this entire video. 🤤 If I win the lottery that Pro Series CNC dual router & plasma cutter machine will be the first tool I buy. 🤑

Thanks for the video. It will help me build my own.
I had to watch 4 Ads to be able to watch this ad !!
I like the idea of combining the plasma with the router. However, anyone doing so would want to pay real close attention when using the plasma after the router. One of those sparks into any sawdust around the shop can light it up. A spark can sit there for a period of time before bursting to flame in sawdust. Make certain that your shop is spotless beforehand. I like this machine. It seems to be well worth considering for our operation.
I love Frank's Artemis shirt!
thats a nice setup nice work on the gear drive
I recognize this guy from school. Pretty cool!
Great questions, very interesting.
best video yet on cnc I have watched. what will a machine like this cost?

great machine - I want one
Thank you for the helpful video.
Good job Sue , ,!
So awesome! I want one
Drew has deep knowledge :o
Thanks for the video pretty fascinating how these are put together. I am in the granite countertop and people in my industry use these but they're much more massive and cost a quarter million. You guys ever try to build one to use as a router for doing sinks?
Worth the investment - CNC Routers, even though initially expensive, can pay for themselves just like any other tool, it just might take a little longer. You can also make multiples of some amazing things. You can make 50 of something and it doesn't burn you out like it would if you were camped out at your band-saw for a week.
Don't know if Frank names his tools and machines, but if he does he should totally call this one Captain Plasma.

That would be cool to have for my everlast plasma cutter.
Artemis shirt ;) really nice book!
I used to work for a major Japanese CNC mfg for machining, mainly metal. I have also worked with many other industrial CNC machines during my lengthy career. Every single one of them, considered the longitudinal direction, the X-axis. What they are calling the gantry, would be the Y-Axis. It's kind of tomAto tomato, but it just seems strange that these and some other router machines have X and Y swapped - VS the machining world. I will say that the structure and the mechanisms look really well done, for an extrusion based machine. Another thing, the Japanese company I worked for made very large CNC mills (machining centers) which had ball screws for axes over 16ft and we had no issues with ball-screw whip. Why? Because those ball-screws were over 3" in diameter. They were also hollow and had chilled oil running through them. As well, they had followers, whose job it was to keep the ball-screw centered. I'm not saying he's wrong, just saying that what he said does not apply to all calibers of machine.
The raptor nails at around 22:00 need more discussion!
Muito bom parabéns 👏👏👏
When they mention FRC ♥️♥️
good work i like it
It’s very very very Awesome

Yes it is...I agree....HOWEVER.....some of us are looking for this type of infomercial to help us decide if this is the machine we want to go for. I found the video very useful and it will aid in my purchase decision...
Very nice 👍 job 👌 My friends
...I need one! I've been shopping for a gantry style CNC for a few years now. This one certainly is robustly built! Inexpensive for what you are getting too.
In my opinion for setup of squaring and truing the machine. A dial test indicator would be more efficient and accurate then cutting and measuring. And also less material waste.
Wish these things were available in the UK
real cool cnc router. i search for a workshop today. if i find one i build also a cnc Machine. this times i make with a little Laser Cutter und a Diy 3d printer some projects. but my channel very litte at the beginning. i hope i can make some cool vid. like yours :)
Amigo, eu liguei minha corte plasma na minha cnc com arduino e a plasma gerou uma interferencia nos motores fazendo com que eles se movessem sem comandos e isso acabou fazendo o arduino nao funcionar mais. Voce sabe me dizer o que pode ser?
I'm watching this video as I program my CNC machines at work!

What are the advantages of using a belt drive versus a direct drive from a stepper motor?
Raptor nails and staples, composite that is stronger than metal. - mind blown
It never gets old I swear, its like a guy doing a video of his first rat rod. He did a good job and proud of it. Of course he realizes there are fancier , more sophisticated ones out there but for now this suits his needs and he's moving forward learning. When all of the sudden right out of the clear blue sky some asshole starts shitting on some guys parade, comparing his first Rad Rod to the fucking space shuttle. What amazes me is with all the experts and down trotters that appear to exist. Why aren't more of you doing how to video's to help some of the less engineering inclined . Lmmfao!!!
can this guy build one for Foam routering? love the flexibility on Size. I want to build the Plugs for a Catamaran hulls. Long, tall hulls so I need it to be pretty tall. I can do things in blocks, maybe 5' high x 10' long, and then stack the blocks to fit.
excellent
Oh, wow. Hello, Frank - looking mighty fine! ;) You should go without the hat more often 👍

If you can, make/put a vacuum table for the CNC router table surface, so so so so much better than having to clamp or nail things in place
You should give this to William Osmon...he needs it more.
Very nice What is the size of linear guide rail that you are using in this machine
What size profiles do people think are being used for the table? They look pretty big.
its been a few years now...are you guys going to upload an updated video on the Avid CNC..?
Want one for my everlast plasma cutter now.

Love it. Excellent idea doing 1/2 plasma table and 1/2 wood table. Edit: Wonder if you could put a full-length water table on as a permanent fixture, then a wood table on top if you wanted to cut wood parts intermittently.

I'm sure that there are situations where that would be reasonable, but here's the issues that you'll run into by doing that: 1) you lose some Z height. Usually this isn't an issue when dealing with relatively thin 2D cuts, but it's crucial when dealing with 3D parts. 2) your table is no longer perfectly level and when switching, you would have to re-mill the wood top in order to get it level again. This isn't as much of an issue if you're dealing again with thin 2D parts or even very small 3D parts but any sort of engraving or relief V-grooves are sensitive to a 0.005" difference. 3) the table won't be as sturdy. You could still cut out wood, but cutting aluminum would cause the table to shift and lose accuracy by a great deal. So in summary, If you're only using a small range of what the machine can do, then yes that's entirely a viable option, but halving the 1/2, 1/2 table is like having two smaller tables where, with some work, makes a full sized table. Great Idea though!
what's the benefits of using closed loop nema 34 instead of the simple ones ,are we gonna eliminate the end stop switches
Use a vacuum plate during cut-out sequence then you won'r need the tabs or have miss match when blending the tabs
Where can you get the design for the chair
this CNC combo machine super ,is CNC plasma THC system ?
You should try putting a 3d print head on the thing.
Need to adapt this for an everlast plasma cutter to cut metal as well as wood.
Nice Knee-mill.
What about attaching a 3D Printer head? What is the travel of the Z axis. Would have liked to have seen the control board and power supply setup. Construction plans and specifications. It was more a a pay for play add.
I am installing a very similar system. Can you tell me how you were able to get the dust covers between the two z-axis installed without taking any of the z-axis' apart?
@ericrenner3062

I answered my own question. By removing the top place of the Z-axis for the tool on the left hand side you can easily slide the dust cover down and into place. Great video by the way. Very informative.
Cool.
Norm: So, now you have to calibrate it? Drew: *spends four minutes explaining the calibration process* Norm: Okay, so… yes, you have to calibrate it. *nods understandingly*

Which CNC controller you use brother..?? Pls reply..
You're not get your plasma cutting fix here, only five seconds of out of focus video, out of 28 minutes. They said they had a special plasma cutting control package that cut clean Edges, that what I wanted to see.
This looks really cool... Unfortunately I have neither the space or money for this.
i sooo effing want one !! even better when I learned they're only 30 minutes from my driveway. before I buy one, I need to resolve the fact that I live in a shoebox and don't know how to make this work. i'm like the small puppy holding onto a 6' long tree branch trying to get up the stairs and into the house... refusing to let go of the branch. I need to think this through....as I would much rather have this table vs, say, the Langmuir Crossfire
I really want a cnc for my everlast plasma cutter.
These are the types of videos that tested was built on (the last 3). You asked what we wanted to see... This kind of stuff. No more stupid puppets or Weta shit.
It looks like you have the room to add mirrors for a 4x8 laser cutter but would want a vent hood or you would fill the shop with smoke.
So just to be clear, an assuming my knowledge of CNC is not very good (which it isn't), does this machine require a five axis controller or are you somehow tying the two "Y" axis motors to one axis?
