+YokoandDavid Light X-Carve is a very good idea, but in my opinion, even if the design with direct drive whit belts is for high speed (and low torque as a printer is), the machine can't work at high feed rates. Infact step motors loose steps since they have not enough torque to manage the mill power of a standard router. As video shows, the frame seems not to be rigid enough to mill with woods with uneven, figured or big grain or knots. I think the bit would prefer to follow the grain intead of the correct path.

Jer - I have watched a boat load of X-carve videos and I think yours was one of the best as It was very well done in that you showed well what could be done and where it differs from a more substantial/costly set up. The X-Carve might be what I get me feet wet with stepping into the world of CNC but my expectations have just been managed or set to where they likely need to be. Do you think you will be using the X-carve from time to time? It seems to have a larger work area than your other set up... P.S. if there is ever a Wesley (of princess bride frame) look alike contest enter it.

It's also a good idea so that mallet doesn't explode and your left picking up those 8000 BB's by hand

Sprinkle a little fine salt in the glue at the moment of gluing. Just a little bit will suffice. It turns the glue into a sort of sand paper and it helps to prevent the sliding of the parts being joined.

@Jer_Schmidt

8 жыл бұрын

That technique works well, but it is unnecessary if you are joining only two pieces. The clamps hold them in position just fine. With three or more pieces, the center one(s) will try to slip out from between the outer ones and that's where the salt is handy.

Thanks for the X-Carve review. Which spindle is better, the DeWalt on the X-Carve or the Bosch on your other machine?

@Jer_Schmidt

7 жыл бұрын

+ITubeTooInc The Bosch is bigger (2-1/4hp vs 1-1/4hp), and also capable of a larger RPM range (8k-25k vs 16k-25k) so if your machine can handle the Bosch I'd use that! As a side note, the Bosch seriously SUCKS as a handheld router. It's really badly designed as far as ergonomics/controls. However, it's probably the best 2-1/4hp router you can buy for router tables, CNCs, and slot mortisers/pantorouters. On the other hand, the DeWalt is FANTASTIC as a handheld router, if you're ok with the smaller size.

I'm curious about the hammer face angle. Have you given any thought to what angle seems best for different uses, striking chisels, tapping parts into submission etc? UHMW or similar could be an interesting material for prototype hammers. Cool project and I'm curious how your new toy pans out. Cheers.

Thank you! I haven't tried the stock spindle but every review I have seen says it is underpowered. And everyone who upgrades seems to think it's well worth it. I would say this-the X-carve is not capable of moving the router fast enough to bog down the Dewalt router, something in the gantry or Y-rails is going to slip or bend or break before the router has any problem. It appears that with the stock spindle you have to reduce feed rate so you don't stall the cutter.

At $500 I would say go for it, but after trying for some time to use it, it is just frustrating; much to weak for the job. The sign I showed took about 30 minutes to make. With the same router and the same size stepper motors that could be done in about 10 minutes, if the frame was tough enough to not flex all over the place. Sorry to be so negative, but I feel you're much better off to build one yourself than to overpay one that just doesn't measure up.

Again, I cannot recommend enough that you build your own. You can build a VERY nice machine for $1000, where you will pay $4-5k for a similar manufactured unit.

Nice Review! I am new to your channel but will subscribe, video's are edited nicely and you give all of the important info needed. (Giving all the info sounds easier than it is,) I have to say: your pro's and con's I kind of expected those to be there. I also made a portal milling machine and it would be unfair to make a 1:1 comparison because of the difference in price. I suspect this to be nice to convert to laser cutting with one of those 1 up to 6 watt laser diodes because of the absence of cutting forces I think it can be more accurate (as long as the acceleration/decelleration is not set to high)

@StefsEngineering

As an addition to my pervious post, to those that want to buy this machine. On the website they advertise with the specs: "accuracy 0.001" (0.02mm) These tests where performed with no load on the setup so allthough the machine might reach that accuracy in theory, the real life results will be a lot less because of flexibility in the frame. (looking at the video I expect more in the range of 0.1mm accuracy or even lower(0.5mm) under higher loads) Still a nice machine for the price!

@Jer_Schmidt

Yeah, the listed 0.001" I think is technically the resolution, or how far it moves per step on the motors. It would be more appropriate to use the word "precision" instead of "accuracy". Nice idea with converting it to a laser! I might even look into that. Thank you!

And if I'm putting my logo on the head, I can't drill dowel holes (I'd have to flip the parts over to do that). I could have doweled the one in the video, but I was thinking of it the same as the others minus the logo, so I didn't think to do that. That was a long and complicated answer to a simple question!

Great looking mallet, and nice demonstration of the weights :). I have yet to see a single X-carve project, that was "serious" (videos like "using my x-carve to make a key chain" or "making something to stamp a pattern into something else" is flooding KZread). For "one off" projects, it seems most could be done much quicker with a bandsaw, and other basic tools, if time used on software is included. Not knocking your video, but making your mallet would have taken you 30 minutes with a jigsaw, file and a drum sander. The machine apparently has to be supervised when running, and test pieces cut, since there is i good chance it will mess up your expensive wood. Batch cutting is out, since a trim router can't handle working for hours, and it is not what it is designed for (it's meant to run for a couple of minutes at a time). So as i see it, it is a machine for making signs, where precision isn't that important? All the serious makers i follow on KZread, that would actually benefit from a CNC making repetitive tasks all have issues. I realize it's flattering for a small'ish KZread channel to get a reward in form of a sponsorship, as a prize for the many hours it takes to produce quality content, and free stuff is great (i would gladly accept it as a gift, allthough i would go fo the 50x50 cm version), but why would anybody spend their own money on this?

@Jer_Schmidt

8 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I agree with most of what you said. The machine is great for signs, but otherwise it isn't really that useful. I think the biggest reason you see videos that are not "serious" projects is the software limitation, not the machine's limitation. Inventables requires us to use the Easel software, which, in my opinion, is pretty much worthless. It doesn't really do anything that a bandsaw wouldn't, honestly. I would disagree with one point you made, about the trim router not being meant to run for hours. I have used this same Dewalt router, in my first CNC, to cut for about 3 hours straight. It has no problem with this. I would also go with the smaller machine if I had it to do over. This one is just to big and therefore it's weaknesses are about tripled.

+Jeremy Schmidt Thank you for your response. I'm glad your router is coping - my bosch colt (or the european model of the same) router gets pretty hot after 15 minutes, so it would be toast if i ran it for something like 15 hours cutting out parts for a guitar build or similar. I watched Savvas Papasavva videos on the X-carve, and he couldn't get the CNC to cut a 10x10 cm square. No matter how he tweaked the motors and software. Even after calibration it would be plus or minus 1 mm. A 2% error is an insane amount. I could imagine myself using the CNC to cut a router table top with room for insert and mitre slot, but damn - plus minus 1 mm would make that a BIG nono. In what piece of wood working equipment is plus minus 1 mm cool? Table saw arbor, jointer fence/table, saw blade, drill press chuck, drills, box joint jigs, table saw sled, hand plane?? I'm sorry - for that amount of money, this machine is just an expensive toy. But i'm glad to see hardworking KZread creators get them as gifts. Even though it is a toy, it's still better than nothing, and in that sense very cool.

I haven't tried cutting a square to see how accurate it is, and I'm not sure I want to know! I still think it has its place, but it's not for me. I'm using my old CNC again.

The flex is a big deal in finer carving of any kind. I didn't get an Xcarve because it's belt driven and you're not the first one to say that the support hardware has a lot of flex. So for the price, this is a good machine, but if you're planning on really doing something, it's worth the investment to get something better.

I can't afford an X-Carve due to shipping, but even if I could I wouldn't buy one simply because I fear I couldn't get it to work.

Jer's Woodshop Fair point about it being a kit, but you can't ship full size X-Carves, or cars for that matter. So it's understandable that you have to assemble it yourself, but having to modify it with new custom parts for example, is weird. It's like assembling Ikea furniture and having to glue it and make parts yourself. Just because you have to assemble it doesn't mean it shouldn't work after being assembled. I assembled my new tablesaw the other day and it worked 100% after assembly, as it should. The problem with it is like I mentioned: it can scares customers away, which it shouldn't.

That is not the way to make a mallet!! First you need to take a Saturday to split hard-wood firewood, it will put hair on your chest. Then stack them into a neat cord, let it sit for a year. When winter comes, dad or mom will asks for you to get some wood for the fire, as you pick up that wood there will be one piece that screams out that it has a higher calling. Then and only then will you know that it is time to make a shop mallet with your carving knife and teeth! That is how I did it and my dad and my grand-father. That is how real men do it! We don't use these foo-foo machines to make tools, let alone out of plywood. Let the Chinese do that, we are American. I bet you didn't even get a splinter doing that, did you?

+xaderek Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't. Either way, I'll always sit through a 30 sec or less ad for the people I'm subbed to. At least they get a little ad revenue that way.
