Absolutely amazing. I worked in CNC manufacturing for 31 years but only in a setter/operator capacity and slowly watched the evolution of CNC machines. Back then in 1983 compared to now it is on a whole new level. When I try to explain to people it is the same old "you're only pressing a few buttons"......yeah right! Get a good quality programmer and you your factory and product are in safe hands. Out of curiosity how much would a chess set cost. I would estimate maybe £8-10000?

I'm only starting as a CNC operator (by starting I mean 2 years) and beginning to really get into the programming side, but I absolutely agree. People severely underestimate the time and skill needed to make quality products with CNCs. Then they see stuff like this that blows their minds.

Hi Glenn, If you produce only one chess set it is very expensive. I think something about 4000-6000 Euro is realistic. The more i produce at the same time the lower the price is. But it will never be under 1500 Euro. Most people just see the material price and the finished product. They do not know anything about the work behind the scenes like planing the project, construct the parts, buying materials, making the Machines ready to work, ordering tools, programming, failing and so on.

This is the most beautiful chess set I have ever seen! Congratulations on a job well done. Thank you for the high quality video.

I am truly in awe of this process. Thank you so much for sharing. The set is beautiful!

Incredible job, I know what it means to do something like this, I studied Metal Mechanics in high school at a German school that had a CNC milling machine, and I had the opportunity to make a chessboard with its pieces, only much simpler and made of wood. Thanks for showing us the amazing process.

One of the most satisfying videos I've ever watched.

This is an absolute Masterpiece. Perfect art work.

Man, sometimes i watch these videos and wonder how freaking powerful modern large scale cnc machines are! Cutting through solid steel with such ease and such precision. Its terrifing yet so beautiful. Technology and machining has come so far.

Simply put, a piece of art. Enjoyed watching the whole process, well done!

That is the coolest chess set I have ever seen. ... A genuine work of art!

Beautiful! We did this, making a chessboard with all the pieces, in 1980, on our first CNC lathe at school. The milling was done on a punch tape controlled milling machine.

From a beginner with a mini lathe, it’s insane how much material that cnc can take off without any problems. Seeing the first pawn being made had me shocked.

The truly unsung heros of these multi axis CNC machines are the software engineers! As someone who has written software for a 2D CNC I made, I can only imagine the added complexity of several more axes, tool changing, angle/side changing! All this and the program having to make all the spatial coodinate calculations as well as the decisions of exactly how to remove the material, it's mind boggling!

Mostly these programs are made from a postprocessor, which writes the toolpath... you load your CAD data into it, the tools you want to work with and the postprocessor will do the rest...

Most beautiful chess set I have ever seen! A work of Art and superb machining! 😊❤

Good gods. Reminds me of doing mine when I was 12 in '88. Had to graph paper the shape and with tool templates work out the correct geode program. Then hand type it in on 3.5" floppy drive school cnc. The poor thing could only cope with about 30mm diameter stock..... it took me a couple of months of dinner times to run the cnc! Still have the parts! Loved it. Although the aluminium did chatter whilst being machined. Never did work out why. Spindle speed probably. Lovely job.

The chess board and pieces making process were so cool. Beautiful!

You made it look easy. The sign of great craftsmanship.

Seriously impressed! Beautiful quality machining with a 1st. class result. Thank you for sharing !

100% glowing and curated comments. I don't think many serious chess players would enjoy playing with this set.

I hope an event that destroyed ancient advanced civilisations would not occur for another few generations. If this is what's possible now, it would be interesting to see how far technology can take us. This video on CNC Milling and Turning is mindblowing. Danke MyGcode, das war unglaublich.

I am having lots of fun but I cannot finish it due to school being out. Cannot wait until I can have access to CNC! And yes, I am doing brass vs aluminum.

Stunning work and thank you so much for sharing! As a complete CNC beginner in school this was incredible to watch. I just made chess pieces as part of the course I'm taking but they were of course very simple shapes for beginners. So after finishing them I looked up how to create nicer pieces and found your video! How do you polish the pieces and the board for a mirror finish? I'm really impressed with the board having no marks at all. Thank you once again for sharing this!

This is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to record and edit this for us! Ugh! I can only imagine what it was like to make all this. Drawing tool path for Black's squares and then watching it run for the first time must have been really monotonous! I was impressed with your machine on the second op with your (idk, half inch?) endmill cleaning up the shell cutter without blend line. Even though I do it all day, I still find it mesmerizing to see metal being turned. Did you drop RPM at partoff to avoid it flying off and getting dings? Also, how are you holding your board down? I'm not too familiar with the varieties of mill fixtures. Good job! 👍

@mygcode-cnc-cad-cam

Жыл бұрын

Yes, when you cut off it's a good thing to reduce rpm at a certain diameter. For the pieces i decided to reduce rpm and feed at a diameter of 2mm. It depends on the weight of your finished turning part. The more it weights the earlier it will break if you come to the middle. Thank you!

I really enjoy the design of the pieces. They turned out very elegant. It was clever of you to aim for a slim and traditional design and to keep the weight down. I was particularly impressed of your solution for the Knight. Next time consider making both sides of brass, and acid treat the "black" side. To chess players it will be a big no-no with the weight difference between the alu vs brass. Also make sure the King is slightly higher than the queen. However you have demonstrated your excellent cnc design skills.

@@mygcode-cnc-cad-cam Hi, No I haven´t tried myself but I believe it´s fairly simple to etch brass and bronze with Ferric Chloride to darken it.

How tall is the king in this set?

Given that ivory is illegal across most of the world I would guess the legally available stuff that remains is ridiculously expensive. Perhaps adding the ivory and ebony as an insert,a ring in the groove in the base maybe,that would be nice and a lot less expensive I would imagine.My wife has a reasonably large ivory owl ornament that's quite valuable but I don't particularly like it,you could have that to cut up😁.

Nice work! It’s very obvious that you know what you’re doing.

Great, now I want a chess set I can't have! Just great! 🤣 Beautiful work!

Superb. An alternative attribute that this particular set here offers is that the pieces are differentiated via separate color metals, meaning you can actually play on the set (they have to be structurely sound so they don't tip over easily, also). For example, if you made all of the pieces out of stainless steel alone, you'd have to then go back and coat the opposing pieces a different color to represent either the black side or white side (dark vs. light, red vs. blue, etc.). Many coatings suck and eventually come off in time from the pieces being knocked around in the course of play, but bare metal won't do that. All in all, amazing chess set created, thank you for the video.

Absolutely BADASS!

Awesome. Wonderful experience
