That's a loaded question for several reasons.Buying a cnc for just one house of cabinets isn't cost effective. So much depends on your budget. That's why I built my own cnc. At the minimum you would need a 4'X8' to accommodate full sheets of sheet goods. I wouldn't buy a cnc to do one job. If I had a decent budget I would get a cnc with a tool changer and vacuum hold down with at least a 5hp 3 phase router.

Thanks for the video! I bought your Fusion 360 from Etsy. I have also built my own CNC (can't do homing yet) and learning each day 🙂. I have a basic question - As 3 different bit sizes are intended for this cabinet build, there are three different G-code files being generated from CAM in Fusion 360. When I attempted to click on the Setup node in CAM and then generate G-code it mentioned Fusion 360 free version doesn't support Tooling Changes. My question is, how do you generate the G-codes? One for each drill bit operation (If so, does the CNC orient properly upon loading each file?) or do you have the paid Fusions 360 version and does it generate a single G-code file for all the operations (pre-drilling, dados, and cutouts)?

Hey buddy. Thx for the vid. I'm having a major headache with my cnc. I'm cutting mdf boards for kitchen cabinets and most of the time, like 8 out of 10 cuts, the laminate chips off from where the bit enters and a lot of times where the ramps end and inbetween. I use mostly 6 and 8 millimeter downcut bits. I've tried to avoid the ramps, but it chips off the laminate from the other side. I've also tried different entry points and that didn't help. My feed rates are around 3k/min and plunge rates are a little less. I'm using aspire for modeling and mach 4 hobby for g code. The cnc machine has some years on it, but I don't want to jump to that conclusion yet. Could you give some advice on that or maybe direct to an honest forum? I think I have about three weeks until I'm sacked.
@OldGuyWoodworks 2 жыл бұрын
I will admit that I use all the defaults on ramps and feed ins and it works fine for me, so I'm not very good with ramp and lead-in speeds. Are you using a down cut bit? If you want both sides to avoid chipping while you cut full thickness, you'll more than likely need a compression bit. I'm not an expert, but I think I would avoid ramping and start my feed from outside my cut. As we speak I'm cutting melamine and the chipping is driving me nuts. The forums I have had the most luck are www.cnczone.com and www.machsupport.com.

That nail came out of the bottom which is under the cabinet and won't be seen. The nail is only to hold it in place once I get it in position and I always angle the nail to make sure if it gets exposed, it comes out on a non visible area. You don't even have to use the nail, it's just for convenience. Perfectionists make the best woodworkers. If I have a "shiner" in an exposed area I will go as far as to make a new part if I can't fix it.
