Episode 1: Blade Blank - Machining & Fixturing
Ғылым және технология
The first of a series of short videos summarizing the process of making my first knife: The "R-Zero." I'm not a knife maker - just a guy with a CNC hobby. The blade is made from 5/32" 1095 high carbon steel.

Wonderful work , keep creating more stuffs
That´s cool! I have a ton of knives I have made over the years in fusion 360 but I have actually never had the chance of seeing them done in real life
Great work and great video! Keep it up :)
Man your knowledge of the software is so unreal bro!!

Hi kivi - I recommend the Precision Matthews PM30-MV. I have a small garage too and it works just fine. Have a look at a video where I talk about doing the conversion, and some other mill alternative here: Convert a Bench Mill to CNC - Everything You Need to Know kzread.info/dash/bejne/lIKTppWHh9rKpZc.html
Nice job. I am in the same boat: I have a converted PM 728 CNC and have dabbled into knife making , motorcycle parts, prototype parts. I use SW for Cad and fusion 360 for cam. What is your day job if any ? Regards

Awesome. Would love to see some of your work on the 727. If you're using SW, i'd recommend trying HSMWorks plugin. If you change your model, your toolpaths will update automatically and it's virtually identical to Fusion360 Cam - The HSMWorks plugin is by Autodesk - so it's really the same bones. It's $90/month - so a little more than FUsion360 i THINK.... but i enjoyed the switch over. I'm a mechanical engineer in manufacturing from 9-5 mon-fri.
Nice
Man, this is everything I need. What’s the best way to go about learning this?

Hi it'sjustReid - You're in the right place. Everything I learned was from youtube. Look up "CNC Conversions" for information on how to build the actual machine, and look up "CNC Programming Basics" and "Fusion 360 Basics" to learn about how to make toolpaths on a computer and how to design things in 3D.
Would you be interested in making me a drawing so I could cut my handles out on a CNC router
Great stuff. I’ve been making knives for awhile and just ordered a CNC mill. Would you consider sharing the Fusion 360 file. I just started watching tutorials and a knife template would be an awesome way to jumpstart my progress. Cheers

Hi Ira. The knife is designed in solidworks - not fusion. I could export a step file you could look at and even use for machining but you will not be able to edit the features. If you’d like to shoot me your email i will send over the files
