Intro to CNC Tool Tray Project with VCarve and Mach4 Walkthrough
my problems have use tabs i need cut out sguare piece at plywood, i drar lines and then toolpath make add tabs, its ok, but if i want cut first left side this sguare one line, left, then move clamps new place left has cutting can cut right side, ok, problem have i start cut left side line, cutting nice but when bit come back to start point destroy all tabs, cut ok and elevate tabs point ok but then bit go back start point not elevate bit at tabs position ad destroy all tabs. why aspire not generate toolpath right, i mean why not move cutting side line ad then elevate bit up to sheet top and then go back start point, why move back same level then cutting, and move back destroy all tabs sametime not elevate bit at tabs position when move back to start point. or many job same why not elevate bit and then go back start point. alltime after cutting go back start point and bit stay same level what cutting line.and move back have G1 speed, not fast move G0. i not understand what i make wrong i draw picture-make toolpath. all job same problem no move bit up then go back start point after cutting, if cut point start X0.0Y0.0Z-3 etc. and go point X300Y0.0 has cut line ok, BUT go back to 0.0 point same level Z-3 why ? need go up after cutting elevate bit Z0.0 and then go back X0.0
Oh I need one of those 😁
Nice Video Eric!
Why is it necessary to level the unit to the floor? it seems to me the gantry moves along the metal frame , if the entire unit was set to a 20 deg angle the gantry is still level with the unit itself and it wouldn’t matter cause the gantry doesn’t ride along the floor
I appreciate this as we will be moving towards cutting items that use more than 1 tool. I noticed, though, that when you performed the tool change the machine moved on the Y axis. Since Mach4 didn't move the machine it would not know there was a change. I assume if you notice that happening and you're cutting a detailed profile you would need to rehome the machine?
Clearly the program does NOT use the space optimally, especially with the production layout. It should start by turning around half the triangles, like you maybe intuitively did in your manual example... it would save a lot of material.
This dust shoe really sucks! The chambered design and rapidly swappable bristle rings of different sizes are especially appreciated! It works better for rotary operations than my previous solution.
what style of brush is that? It seems better than the style I'm using right now on my dustshoe
We don't offer that brush strip but we do offer an entire dust shoe: www.avidcnc.com/avid-cnc-universal-dust-shoe-p-1379.html
Same here lol. I have the 4 x 10 and rotary with the 8.7hp spindle and I love it
I wish I could make my garage grow like that 🙂
cool video....
were you get the foam that thick?
Just got mine today. Can't wait to try it out.
Jim I hope you're considering doing a video on the performance. I will admit I'm intrigued at the look but I wonder about the sound, dust extraction, and if it is compatible with that fine tool changer you're setting up.
@@alanferrell9406 I am. Would have had it done today but other stuff got in the way.
Can you send me the 4x8 cnc and this and I'll make a great video for you:)
Will it accommodate/"not interfere with" the retractable add-on Laser mount that I bought from AVID CNC? (Avid CNC 15W Diode Laser System)
Yes this has been designed to work perfectly with the laser system. Your laser can be mounted on either side and the dust shoe can be rotated so that the dust hose is in "front" of the spindle or to the opposite side of the laser. The fastening bolt for the dust shoe is reversible too so that you can easily reach it no matter how you have your laser attached. We're working on getting some more photos posted on our listing so stay tuned for that!
You could do that using the CNC. Where is the TOOL CHANGER?!
Yes, I asked about that awhile ago.
asked about that 5+ years ago. Still nothing. Tool changer is by far the most needed part of CNC business
We hear you! We're already hard at work on the next big thing. If you do need a plug and play tool changer setup now CNC Depot offers a turn key kit that bolts right on to our machines and is compatible with our software. They make a great setup and offer excellent support on it.
I'll get mine ordered today.
Nice! Thank you!
Congratulations... Amazing.👏👏👏 .
how long do these last outdoors hanging in the elements?
Would the compression bit work in kiln dried 3/4 pine?
I've always been a fan of the Whiteside UD2102. www.avidcnc.com/whiteside-updown-cut-spiral-cnc-router-bit-14-x-1-p-431.html Just make sure when you're cutting on your first pass you plunge deep enough to get the upspiral section buried in the material so you don't get tear out.
Awesome machines and awesome customer service. What I really like is the open platform and how you guys support those of us who like to customize our machines. Its always fun to see on the forums how people have built there machines and what they are doing with them. The variety is incredible.
Congratulations Ahren, Erik and the whole Avid team on an amazing 15yrs!! Thanks so much for all your support of the hobby/maker community !!
Thanks guys. Fantastic product and value. The new laser module is great too 😎
Absolutely LOVE my Avid CNC. Congratulations for 15 years, and here's to many, many more!
congratulations and thanks for making a great machine tool
Looks like a lot of fun!
Would love to show you some of my rotary clips sometime!
Get in touch! We'd love to see them. Posting on the forum is a great way to do it. I can get in toufh with you directly there as well
@@AvidCNC ok!
Hey can you do a vid like the ones that Sammy and Cory use to do on setting up a spoil board with the Avid Sheetcam and Mach 4. I have an old burntables machine that has an Avid control box as a plasma table and I'm getting ready to purchase the Avid spindle. The Avid tweeked software is very specific on what you can and cannot do. Any help would be appreciated.
Frank is the shizzle.
Do you have plans for a tenor ukulele build? And one for fender style body?
We sure do! www.avidcnc.com/simple-ukulele-25d-p-391.html
Thank you and it is very useful tutorial. How to do multiple option/switch post processor (for multiple tool that require different set of instruction) Ex: T1 / T2 / T3 have different instruction. Therefor if T1 (Set of instruction no 1) and T2 no 2 and so on.
Your best bet is to post this question on our forum: forum.avidcnc.com/ there are likely users there that have done similar modifications
Wow You were Great Step X Step Thank'S
Maximum diameter?
It really depends on your machine, type of rotary you get and how you have it mounted. Fortunately we have a guide to help you figure it all out here: www.avidcnc.com/avid-cnc-rotary-axis-p-724.html You can also contact our customer support anytime and they can answer specific questions for you.
Why such an ugly work space?
No intention to offend 🙏. It looks like Avid cnc doesn't answer questions here ☹. I'm a prospect buyer with diligent business plan for selecting my first cnc router (I know cnc milling machines very well, but cnc routers are a new whole business for me). I finally nailed down to a few companies (Laguna tools, Phantom, Avid cnc, i2r, Penguin cnc) and for the last two weeks can' make my mind due to very poor information that are available on their web site, and emailing back and forth takes time and leads to more questions, I came to this channel to find answers for their machines assembly , but, based on Avid cnc non answering questions, it looks like I was wrong 😭 . Just in case somebody of Avid CNC review this comment here is my question. Why when selecting the machine options, etc., and we are offered a video instruction link for assembly, WHY WE DO HAVE TO ANSWER ALL THOSE QUESTIONS AGAIN? (ref: www.avidcnc.com/support/instructions/pro/?mr=21.1&mw=60&ml=144&gw=&gh=&lk=avid&mtr=&ct=routing&rt= ) 😫. It should be that after selecting your machine options you can see a video for that machine, WITHOUT NEW QUESTIONS! Very unprofessional!!!!!!!!!!!! If they do this before you purchase, WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER SALES SUPPORT? 😱 If they share a video instruction, at least they should be able to answer the questions generated here.😥
super clear thanks you have a new subscriber

how can you justify the cost for the laser when lasers are now up to 40+ watts?
Excellent question! If you're talking diode lasers wattage is only part of the equation. Some companies measure the power supply draw as their wattage claim. The true measure is how many watts the diodes themselves are. Ours are a true 15. Additionally the alignment and quality is absolutely critical to getting max performance out of a diode laser. If one diode is off even a little your power level and accuracy drops significantly. We chose OPT lasers because each one is precision aligned in a clean room one at a time. The diodes are also individually inspected and tested before going into each laser. This means that you're getting every bit of cutting power at a super high precision from our laser. The 15 watt pairs really nicely with the spindle as the laser can cut up to about 3/16 of an inch at good cutting speeds. Anything thicker can be cut by the spindle. The additional cost comes from the pneumatic raising and lowering mechanism which makes it super convenient to use in spindle/router combo jobs like this one ua-cam.com/video/-gGdTd22Itc/v-deo.html
Thank you for the response and i do understand what you are saying, but for the price you are not adapting to the industry, Falcon 2 and many others are providing great precision and 40 watts actual laser power. The setup you have is great but test have been done and it do not allow the ability to place a larger laser due to the weight. and 15w was great last year. 5000 Canadian for a 15 w is crazy. Im just saying if performance is lagging behind the competition the price should be alot lower.@@AvidCNC
@@michaeljacobs9432 There are some impressive dedicated laser units out there for sure. We looked at a lot of those. Our system wasn't designed to compete with those. Machines such as the Falcon (And others) that are small benchtop dedicated lasers certainly have their place and application. We designed this to be a high precision, high duty cycle unit that is tightly integrated with the router. Folks that use these are using them in production and need seamless switching from routing to laser. I'd be interested in chatting with you further though! If you hit the contact form on our site ask for Eric.
This is designed for people who want to integrate laser engraving and cutting into their large format CNC operations. The laser itself is plenty powerful for engraving, I can't think of a reason I would want more power. You want to set off the fire alarm and burn through .5" of wood in one pass at 2 IPS, be my guest. Spindles don't work as well cutting materials under 1/4", which is where the laser excels. Also, a 4'x8' laser engraver is amazing. You're gonna spend $25k USD+ getting a laser in a format that large. I didn't bat an eye at $4k USD for this. Very high quality product as well.
hey Eric, could make this aspire file available? I'd love to try it. regards Brian
How man IPM you getting?
That's a pretty old video with an earlier version of our ballscrew. The ones we have now can do 200-300 IPM easily with our motor offerings.
@@AvidCNC yea. I have the 12” pro Z with a ClearPATH doing 400IPM. No spindle and I’ve not tuned the servo yet. It’s dang fast. Might be able to go faster. :)
Nice video Eric!
Do you loose a few inches on Y axis for spindle or is the laser mounted offset on the gantry?
The laser is is roughly 5 inches next to the spindle in the X direction. You can change the mounting location from left to right if you want to get the most reach out of your workholding. It's in-line with the spindle in the Y direction.
cool.... nice shop
Would using only one rail per side for the y-axis vs two per side make any difference? Would the gantry have any side to side rocking play?
😊. Juj que 6:26 Cg 😢😢😊😊
Why do manufacturers often recommend 18,000 rpm ?
The longer the tool lasts, the more you can afford to buy an expensive one. 😀
Nice video Eric. A large table with carved lakes and rivers filled with blue epoxy and then laser etched features for the smaller things like roads would be really cool.
Congrats, guys. I've seen this facility in person and I recommend these machines to everyone.
