Congrats on checking that off your bucket list. You’re living my dream.

Super jealous of the CNC. Great setup. I had to smile when I saw the clamps get cut. I've had so many of those moments on my smaller CNC that its nice to know I'm not the only one!

It's really awesome to see how effortlessly you mix and match installing your new CNC machine.

This was seriously fun to watch! Love your process and videos. Can't wait for the next one!

Thank you for posting this video. I'm buying the Avid CNC Pro 4896 next month after doing tons of research on buying a cnc machine on the internet, so your video is a Godsend for newbie's like me. I'm very grateful and you are much appreciated.

Vacuum tables on CNC machines make a huge difference compared to a regular hold down table. Also calipers instead of a tape measure makes measuring and squaring stuff up on a CNC is a must.

@stephen matsler yeah i too really had a hard time switching my mind from woodworking (rules, squares, saw and chisels) to machining (calipers, feeds and speeds) ... quite a leap of faith ☺

This. As a CNC machinist I can confirm

Would absolutely love to see how you did your Vacuum table work-holding system. Looking forward to that video very much.

Man, that thing is a beast! Can't wait to see what you make with it!

Great job. Thanks for showing all the set up. I appreciate it. Keep up the hard work.

That’s impressive piece of kit. The quality is there to see.

Congratulations man! Very jealous. Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Great video! Thank you. I'm wanting to get into CNC for a potential retirement gig down the road. I love your setup!!!

God bless you guys who actually do the videoing of the build process. I’m the type to be more inclined to just build any project than worry about videoing/editing & posting! 😂 I’m in the process of building my second woodworking shop. We just moved to a 10 acre place on a mountain. So I’m dividing a 36’x40’ 4-car garage in half and adding an additional 10’x20’ room off the back. About 920 sq ft of shop when I’m finished. Where’s my video camera? Not! Good luck with your CNC! LOOKS FABULOUS!

What an amazingly beautiful assembly process.

Congrats on the machine! I’m jealous! Nice video pace for assembly. I would definitely refer to this video

Huge fan of the AVID! hoping to get my hands on a similar setup in the future.

A CNC like this is a freakin dream! I'm hoping to be building one of these one day on my channel!

Could you do a video of a arts list in everything you had to buy from avid to get this machine up and running

Literally started watching your videos today, and you're the most skilled human being i've ever seen

I’m super pumped to put it to use! Thanks

This is an interesting way to setup the geometry of the machine. How about a caliper instead of a measuring tape? For trimming the spindle you usually use a dial gauge.

Just spent the last week troubleshooting electronic malfunctions on my 20+ year old machine. This looks like a good next step -Avid. Good tip with the locktite. Is it possible to rotate the controller 90 degrees so that you can see the ports?

Excellent! Thanks

Love it keep going 👍

Thank you for the time you put into this video. I've been reviewing options for when I purchase an AVID CNC and I notice with your vacuum holding system that you can't install a vertical table, or I don't see how you can. Have you thought of installing a vertical table or do you have other tools for that operation? Can you install the vacuum system on the other end of the table so you could put in a vertical table and/or a rotary axis?

Q: You use a gear rack for movement - Not anti backlash leading screw - how do you deal with the backlash in CNC ?

Muito bom parabéns 👏👏👏

Just in time! I'll be watching these videos closely, my Avid should be shipping next month!

Nice video man. Interested in one of these machines myself. How much space do you feel you need around the CNC to be able to work with it and load sheet goods on it comfortably?

Awesome video. Your shop looks so nice.

Very easy subscribe with this level of content, really detailed footage of how it works and is put together, thank you

wow I like your videos, looking forward to next

wow this is awesome

Love this! Proper!

WOW man i wish i have just a shop like this.. i will sleep there all days ^^

What a masterpiece

This is a very high quality kit. Attention to detail is top notch. The only thing I did not like was the cut in half Y axis. I think at this quality level the owners would not mind the extra shipping cost of the longer rails.

Hey Johnny I just purchased your River resin bed frame plans, looking forward to the build. I’m also very curious how your workflows will performe with this new CNC, Avid looks like the biggest bang for the dollar, but with the vacuum, still a good chunk money.

Would you think a common cordless drill, like the Milwaukee M12 drill, will be sufficient for your cordless ratchet?

Excellent video preperation..

When it ran through the clamp I was LMAO as I have hit my share of screws I use to hold my pieces down.

Thought the same thing when building mine, why are the connections on the bottom of the control box.

Great job 👍

About 13 weeks and I will have my 5x10. Looking forward to it.

Classic first cut!

I have the exact same config coming in a few months. Just ordered. Guessing August. The waiting sucksssss.

What a gorgeous cnc. The red color seems to be your favourite and I do have to say that the red color really matches with you man . What a great video. Now I am going forward to build this cnc machine in the future thanks to your tutorial

You have spec/details on that spindle? Are you running it on single phase 220 or you have 3 phases?

I priced this 'kit' out on their site (3 HP router) and it came out at $11,157.75. Not terrible, but also seems high for something that requires a lot of assembly and is essentially aluminum extrusion. I'm looking for alternatives.

Crafted Workshop That’s awesome! It’s just funny to see waves of new tools make their way around the ‘verse. There’s almost an archeological aspect to it. There’s distinct eras and epoch of crafting/making/building you notice, whether it’s a tool that folks start using or a version of a jig that everyone starts making or something similar. Either way, love the channel and your builds. Some of my very favorites, and I greatly look forward to seeing what you do with the Avid!

What’s the total cost and power requirements? Does the dust collection seem undersized for the CNC?

This really huge 😂😍

Based out of the Metro Detroit area there are 2 places that supply "Rexroth Bosch Group"--their "Aluminum Structural Framing System". Here macho robotics are precisely fabricated in the auto industry using "T"-Slotted Aluminum extrusions. There are an easy 100 companies producing this stuff. I went on line to their site for a few projects. Asked for their one inch thick book catalog, and got a flash drive with the same but also including CAD for everything they have(most people don't have the storage space to download this anyway). Everything can be loaded to SolidWorks enabling anyone to attain exact measurements and all components to make any CNC bridge or gantry milling solutions. Their website will direct to your most conveniently located supply shop that cuts, and packs anything u can dream up.

I’m about to get my Avid CNC next week. So, I rewatched your video. I have a quick question(s). I also got a Dust Right 1250 collector. I was planning on running a 6” flex hose. How is the 4” working for you? Do you think the 6” would do better? Thanks for the advise.

Hey man i know this is an old video but did you have any issues with your liner rails on the sides binding the bearings at the seams? One side of my machine the rails have a really noticable bump as they pass over the seams actually stopping the bearing when i move them by hand

Nice CNC & shop. Big $$$$

Dang Johnny. You’re going to need a bigger shop! Congrats

Hi, maybe stupid question but would it be possible to fit the pro4896 in a tight space so the only access is from one lenght side. Or do you need access to all around the machine

awsome machine, can i ask how much u spend on it? and is there a guide to build it?

How much did you pay for this machine again??

Poor Clamps died a violent death!...thanks for the video, based upon my space, i am in the process of deciding what size table i want to buy.

Great job. Top

How far is the spindle from the gantry? It look like a good 1ft away.

13:10 clamps got some shaving

Does that ratchet tool have a torque setting? How did you know you weren't stripping the aluminum threads?

I have my eye on one of these systems. Was space the reason you stuck with 48” vs 60” width? Can’t wait to see more of that spindle and what you do with the machine!

@craftedworkshop

3 жыл бұрын

Yup, plus I just don’t think I’ll need the 60” capacity 99% of the time. Also, the vacuum works better for a 4x8 system, easier to setup the zones.

Impressive

Super!!!

Damn, I want a CNC soooooo badly, but I don't have room for the size I want and couldn't afford to pay for it if I did. Mabey one day I'll have to try to find a spot for a smaller one..... that would be nice 😊 It's really cool to see you getting one and I'm looking forward to how you've set up your vacuum hold down system which looks really good. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

Can this cnc (with its gear rack mechanism) mill aluminum? What about steel?

well, at least you know those are sharp when new.
