New to the channel, liked and subscribed. I love this idea the overall size almost matches industrial planer sizes and it wouldn't be too difficult to change it to do that. My real suggestion for your machine would be to build legs on it and build a sheet steel hopper underneath that leads to a garbage can. If you need it to push the shavings into the garbage can install a rumble motor on the hopper that activates when the router hits certain points of the process. Then you end up with pure clean large shavings useful for mulch or smoker.

@@MariusHornberger Here's a software upgrade you can try: 1. For each run, have the router ping-pong back and forth a few times--while the main motor is off--so the Arduino knows how long it takes for the router to travel to the end stop and back. 2. Based on the width of the milling head and the calculated time, the speed of the main motor can be set so that it continuously moves the carriage along such that each time the router hits the home end stop, it has advanced (almost) the width of the milling head for the initial passes and (almost) 1/2 the width for the final ones. This slanting path will not only result in smoother movement of the carriage, but, for the last passes, each part of the board will be passed over twice, at two different angles, which should make for an even smoother surface. Does that sound reasonable?

Marius, regarding the Arduino falsely registering electrical noise as button presses I suspect that either you didn't add a pull-down or pull-up resistor, or the values were too small. Try a 1K ohm resistor for this purpose, it should greatly remove any noise that you might encounter in your projects.

Also, as ​@PapaLurts put it, the lower values work better for noisy environments like this case, the internal values are close to 20kΩ and 50kΩ ohms which is a bit high for this case. Note: Personally I use external pull up resistors even when I enable the internal ones, does anyone agree with this? Because using external ones you can adjust the value to your specific need.

I exclusively tie the push buttons to GND now, but when I started tinkering with them, I used both positive and ground signals for this.

Hi Marius, I just have to write to tell you how fascinated I am in your ingenuity. The problems you solve, seemingly on the fly?, is just so impressive. You might investigate using optics for your encoders but wholly cow is this just an awesome video mixing wood working, robotics, electronics & automation in a project that solves real problem. I honestly believe if you ever started your own tool (or whatever) company, you'd be a force to be reckon with. Your name & videos, for me, are associated with extreme high quality & engineering. Prost von einem Bewunderer in den USA.

Very cool project, you outdid yourself once again!

As a mechanical engineer myself, I have amazing admiration for your design (and fabrication) skills! I've been watching you from the beginning and love your work. Thanks for sharing with us!

Love your camera work, especially around 27:00 where you are ripping and showing how the wood reacts to the release of internal tension. Just a great video. Thank you.

It's really cool to see the progression from a simple jig to a more complex automated tool. There is even a clear upgrade path to a full CNC router. Have you considered building a separate sled to automate the sanding part? Or would that not work? Great video as always!

Ever since I discovered your channel, I've been catching up on all your previous videos and looking forward to your next. There are two words that, for me, define your work, inspiring and intimidating. Your ability to go from idea to design to creating with an occasional bit of correcting is truly a work of art Plus your patience and calm in the face of obstacles is nothing short of amazing. Which brings me to the second word, intimidating. You make it seem so easy as you go through the processes that many times I ask myself, could I do likewise and sadly I must answer no. While I can make small simple things, your ability is almost out of this world though your humour at the oops moments does bring it back to earth. Thank you for continuing to share.

That was a captivating video. You're quite the talent and I liked how you included the parts where things didn't go as planned. A+

I would have probably added some rail or stop block even from the top side of the router to prevents it from lifting. Im afraid that if you set up incorrectly the feeds its gonna jump out on you. There is nothing preventing to lift the router jig. Also the result height might be uneven because of that.

Great build, great video. Thanks for not making a 1473 part videoseries out if it.

I did a similar resin pour for a knot recently, and that hot glue trick would have been so handy. Tape on the other side held fine, but it leaked out a lot on the top side.

I always appreciate your engineering excellence in these projects. Because you and Matthias use your engineering skills towards different ends, for the most part, both channels are very interesting to watch without being repetitive. Both desktops are beautiful. I would definitely go for the walnut myself. I really like the added features of the desk system you chose, especially the cable management tray. I have an Uplift brand adjustable desk, and it did not come with cable management. I actually mounted a length of 2" split loom under the back edge of the desk for cable management. With the split loom, it is easy to add new cables, or remove cables for maintenance.

Awesome video! I really enjoy how you are able to design exactly to the requirement and save time/effort/money in doing so. The rough resolution encoder and simple limit switch direction change are things I never would have thought of. You should look into Precision Matthews benchtop mills, they're fairly affordable/compact and would serve you well to perform the operations your drill press/lathe can't handle.

This is unbelievably cool. Using a limit switch as an encoder is a brilliant idea. And unshielded wire seens to always be the root of the problem

Yes that! I hate label glue, It's even worse reusing some kinds of glass drink bottles. Perrier bottle labels fall off completely in water. Colorless bottles with clear colorless labels means you need a solvent.

Here is a tip for removing sticky paper labels. Use coking oil to saturate the label, then dish soap to dissolve the oil. The glue in the label will stick on the oil and the oil will be removed by the dish soap. Works like a charm, every time.

Marius - this is great - and I've been thinking about doing a CNC like this - open sourced and rack and pinion type - so that it is infinitely customizable and expandable - great work!!!!

Congratulations! Your perseverance has really paid off. Great job 👏

I love the precision and attention to detail that this guy has - so good!

Amazing amount of work for an amazing result. Your production quality also gets better all the time. Well done!

Stronger pullpup and some capacitors will help with EMI noise even without using shielded cables. Can be solved in software too by just measuring couple times and rejecting false pulses or giving some time-window when signal has to be active. Of course nothing wrong with using proper shielded cables. Makes it more industrial. Would be also nice to use mats unded the board too, add some rollers and springs so it forms some kind of conveyor belt and stays attached all the time. Gives you chip-protection for both sides. Great project anyways!

Outstanding project.... I learned lots of things watching this!

If you put a second rail along the bottom, you could attatch a blinds roller that when unrolled covers the entire base of the sled. Have the roller end fed through a door brush seal and branch off some of your vacuum system to have a port near the brush. Hook up another moter to the blind roller, and now you can roll up the base through the brush which pushes all the chips towards the new vacuum port. Self cleaning base!

I swear man, your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. This is freakin awesome!

Top tip from Crimson Guitars. If you sand it while the oil is still wet, it will form a sort of sludge that acts like a grain filler for an ultra smooth finish.
