Another fine tutorial where you include a lot of stuff that most youtubers would not. Thank Roger. Jim

So glad I got me a Haas GM-2 5AX machine. do note I am a tool and die, machinist. everything he says is so right even on a bigger scale

Roger, thanks for your videos. I'm in contact with a UK importer/upgrader of chinese machines in the UK and am speccing up a 120w machine complete with cooling, air assist & filtration system that thanks to you I have insisted on. I have asked for upgraded motors too. It's a complete turn-key solution and while costly, it's going to be worth it. The level of explanation you give is extraordinary. I now realise by spending treble my original budget I will have a machine that will be well supported and will work from day 1 (installation software, and training) and by watching your vids I avoided wasting £3000 I was about to drop without understanding many of the pitfalls. Please keep making these instructional videos. They really are excellent.

What a great all-encompassing video. Good stuff.

You do a wonderful job by sharing your knowledge. I learned quite all I know about cnc thanks to your videos. Thank you so much!

You do a great work! Thank you so much for all of your advices!

Informative video Roger! As always helpful advice

Cheers Rodger..mate your education is a game changer already in my pursuit of 3D machining

Hi roger, thanks so much from creating these videos, it’s inspiring and your wealth of knowledge shows through.

Glad it was helpful!

Great explanation of what a good CNC router should consist of. The best communication between computer and router is actually the use of an ethernet cable. Also Mach 3 and 4 are good but can be buggy at times. WinCNC, Centroid Acorn and few others have more advanced features than Mach. I'm just putting my 2 cents into your guide to buying a CNC router.

Love your videos. Question what is the difference between a big setup like this compared to xcarve or shapeoko? Is it just the table and base?

just something i see on your cnc is maybe move the spindle motor up as much as you can in the clamping mount so you don't have as much hang out from the main mount plate would smooth out your cuts as it would be more ridged :)

i work a masterwood project 351....9meters long virtical axis has 25 tools , horizontal has front/back cutters for locks and hinges, then a rotating c axis , ive made a bowl on my old machine just using vertival axis but not really had a chance toplay with this new 1

Roger, thanks for the video. I recall a previous video you've made where you mentioned additional costs/taxes we Australians pay (on top of the purchase and shipping) to get cnc machines into the country. Any chance you could mention and approximate again?

I wish there was more information avalible about this style of CNC machine. Every forum post is either something like "I bought the machine and it works" or some horror story from a guy who bought one from the cheapest suplier on Alibaba. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about these machines!

Hello Roger Can it etch or engrave on granite and what brand is your machine

Roger, this was a great video..... I must ask the brand of the machine you displayed in this video

Thank you I needed to see this video

I see below that you purchased this from BoostCN but could you tell me which model this is please?

How did you add the wheels to your machine Rodger? Weld or bolt?

Your videos are fantastic!! I am new to cnc and am looking at purchasing one. I like the one you use. Can I ask what kind of computer you use and is your machine from china and if so where did you purchase. Thanks!!

22:30 - Well then, you have completely answered my question which no one in the woodworking hobby knows about, how accurate of a CNC machine one needs to produce stunning 3D carvings... my guts was telling me a precision CNC machine that is used by precision machinists (which needs to be top spec machine, using ultra precision linear guide rails, ultra precision ball bearings, cast iron heat treated frame or granite frame, powerful zero runout spindle and etc...) I was seriously thinking 3D carving woodworking doesn't need such high precision CNC until you have answered the question. Thanks for this video, it is the answer and secret of stunning 3D carving woodworking. I never appreciated the wooden frame CNC or all the talk about the new popular CNC machines that costs under $3K which everyone have in their home garage which uses belt driven rails. Now I am confused why precision machinists never talks about doing woodworking... because there is a huge market for precision 3D wood carvings.

thanks!

Great video, what's your opinion on the STG 6090? Buy or not to buy thanks

Do a noise comparison of a water cooled router versus an air cooled one. You may be quite surprised at the difference in noise of just the machines (no bit) running at 20,000 rpm.

Since this video Roger got rid of Mach 3 / 4 and now uses a dedicated offline CNC controller. That makes more sense to me. I used to work on a HAAS machine and that's how they work (basically). You have a small, dedicated box that boots instantly running G-Code instead of a computer with fairly expensive software.

That said, Mach3 and Mach4 are ok too.

I think I remember you showing off the production of the machine brand you have Roger. I thought you were affiliated with them somehow, I actually thought you had them produced there for your own company? I apologize if I got that wrong, needless to say, that machine certainly looks top quality. I am very interested in going the dark side myself, CNC that is.😉

Actually USB data transmission is NOT synchronized, while the old port used for printers (centronics 25 pin parallel port) IS. So, to be honest, the old ports are far more suitable for driving mechanisms or devices in real-time. USB ports are far superior in terms of trasmission speed, but rarely you need to send several megabyte per second to a cnc router... To summarize, not always what is "new" means also "better".

Hi Roger Webb I did see your CNC router 6090 , I am in the stage to buy Chines one ,can I ask which manufacture you bought yours and the model number .Thx

Roger I am new to CNC machining as a matter fact I am waiting for my machine to arrive. I enjoy your videos and have a question. When you do a project that will take more than one bit how do you change the first bit and switch to the next one without having to go through the set up process again ? I am sure that is as basic as it gets but I haven't seen a video where someone does that. Thanks for any advice

You need a device called a UPS which is short for uninterupted power supply which has a large 12 volt battery built into it that provides the short term back up power when the mains goes down, or you can build a large battery bank to provide total power all the time and gets charged over night or when you are not using it.

Your suggestion about the connectivity part\ where you prefer USB rather than 25 pin socket is reasonable to care about. But if that would cost you much, the users might find useful to just buy a 25 pin to USB cable which are less than 10 USD or maybe up to 20 in rare cases.

He knows exactly what he's talking about. Bought a nonsense CNC router recently has all the issues Aluminum Extruded Tables. Not cast iron. Not Mach3/4 Ready. Nonsense controller. Linear rails connected directly to aluminum extrusion so aluminum extrusions cannot be removed or upgraded easily. Table slots do not use standard t slots you get with a standard machinist clamp set. Stepper motors.
