Awesome video. It's super helpful for noobs like me to see the feeds/speeds that you're using. I recently got a Onefinity also and always found that if I pushed my 1/4" DC endmill above 50 IPM (with ~0.1 depth of cut), my machine seemingly struggles. I don't know what the issue is yet but it's good to see that it's possible to safely crank my numbers up

@DoingWhatever 9 ай бұрын

Glad it helped! Yea honestly, I started by guessing at feeds and speeds, and then when something seemed to work well, I took note of it. I haven’t gotten as scientific as calculating the chip load, but maybe I will down the line.

Love the video. Thanks for posting. I’m only thinking about buying a cnc and was erring on the side of not bothering overall but you’ve given me hope! I noticed however you look to have a decent sized machine. Would a budget entry level cnc machine be able to cut with such clean accuracy? Such as a sainstsmsrt 3018 Thanks

One idea to save you swapping bits on the trivets, just use the v bit to cut the outer profile. It looks like it has the depth you need. If you have a flush trim bit and a router table, you can knock off the little bit that’s left at the bottom. Not worth it if you’re just doing one or two, but if you’re in mass production, it could be a time saver.

@DoingWhatever 10 ай бұрын

Definitely a great idea in production mode! I just got a router table and am looking for ways to add it into my workflow

Thanks for sharing your expertise. I see you work with a Makita router. I am looking to buy a CnC router machine with the same router. I assume you have to set the speed manually and not through the software. Is that a problem for you? How do you work around it by not setting the speed through the software? Can you please tell us the model of the Makita Router. The links on your Tools List page do not work.

@DoingWhatever 11 ай бұрын

No problem! learning all of this stuff myself so I figure I'd share what little bit I know 😃 Yes, you set the router speed manually on the router and not through the software. It hasn't been an issue for me so far, I usually have it set between 2-3 on the router for most things I cut out. and honestly, that's an area where I could dive a bit deeper to really dial in what router speed I should be at given the feeds and speeds of the CNC machine. This is the router I use (affiliate link) amzn.to/3q2SB97 I've added that link to the video description and will look at why the tool page isn't working - thanks for the heads up!

I am wondering what kind of wood you are using and best dimensions? Any recommendations which website you buy them from or store ? Thanks for the excellent video

@DoingWhatever 3 ай бұрын

For all the items besides the serving tray with the handles (plywood), I used 4/4” walnut. I buy it locally, haven’t tried ordering any online so I don’t have any recommendations unfortunately. Thanks, I appreciate it!

So on your second project here, flattening the slab, you only used the cleats around the edge to hold it down? No other glue/screws/clamps?

@DoingWhatever Жыл бұрын

Correct. You can see at 4:05 I have it shimmed with some paper on the upper right corner, and then I run the flattening bit over it. The only force acting on the board is side to side coming from the bit, and the cleats take care of that. Then with the first side flattened, flip it over and repeat minus the paper shims.
