The thing I like most about this channel is how much you enjoy what you do.

This project is inspiring. You are doing huge things here for the common enthusiast. This is top tier content for this genre.

The thing I love most about your videos is that you are never afraid to say "I have no idea how this works". As a jc mechanical engineering student, I learn all theory which makes me nervous because I have no hands on knowledge. Your videos make me want to take things apart even if I'll have hardly any idea what I'm looking at. Thank you so much Jeremy!

Man you are one SMART guy -- you provide hands on practical advice; your videos are well lit, sound quality is excellent, editing, pacing, are top of the line and, of course, your content is superb. Thank you for some of the best videos on KZfaq.

Hey Jeremey, there are "fingers" that grab the retention knob on the end of the tool taper. They are under tension from a spring or a series of belvill washers. There is a pneumatic cylinder that actuates and pushes on the springs and releases the fingers to remove the tool. Great find! Jason

Your enthusiasm is contagious!

My how the kids grow up, your videos are getting seriously awesome. You've gone from a shed and wood to a full blown shop with a cnc. Nice job Jeremy

I love the infectious enthusiasm you have for these subjects, it's exactly my reaction!

I was a professional woodworker for over 25yrs. The thing I enjoyed more than building furniture and cabinets was finding deals on awesome industrial machines and restoring them to better than new condition. I am not disabled but spend as much time as possible woodworking. My CNC helps with a lot of the labor. I'd love to find out more on Solidworks. I appreciate the video series.... it gives me lots to dream about!!

Jeremy knows a lot about this stuff and has all the toys that make all the noise

It's great & valuable to show how you find your way around problems on the fly & you show each procedure along the way, also every hurdle along the way! Great work & very helpful for the rest of the world watching you! So thank you! Rgds Pat, Australia.

WOW! I started watching your old videos and skipped a few year, amazing what your workshop has become!

So bad ass. Loving the CNC series so far. I would have never considered tackling a project like this but you’ve definitely inspired me.

Great video!!! I think you have achieved awesomeness. I have been a Solidworks user since the mid 90s and my first project proved it's worth. I designed a grip to alleviate tunnel carpal. Everything was compound curves. After hand making the prototype and getting approval, an .SLA was sent to the toolmaker and an injection mold made. When the tool arrived, we put it into the press and started shooting parts. It only took three shots to start making good parts. The first production run was 500,000 parts. From concept to sales took only 20 weeks. It made me a true believer in 3D solid modeling. Thanks for all this......

Your excitement over the working gears is contagious.

Your enthusiasm is infectious well done . I can't belive how far your journey has taken you. I've watched your number of subscribers grow with you.

I really enjoy watching you progress on this project! Due to medical hurdles, I've been grounded pretty much for over a year from pursuing a miniature version of your project. I was given parts of an eye-laser surgery unit with a small X-Y table that I want to convert into a laser engraver. For a bigger project, like a plasma cutter unit or CNC router, I have two 16ft ball screws waiting to be repurposed. Good luck and keep at it! Thanks for sharing!

Your totally brilliant... love your enthusiasm and pure joy to watch listen and learn. Your a total inspiration..... thank you.

Man, your content just keeps getting better and your presentation is getting stronger. That’s saying something considering how good your videos were already. Awesome work!

I really enjoy the format of your videos valuable information and your genuine enjoyment in the project.

Jeremy, Nice to see you back with such a great project. You are truly a GEEK! Love it! I know your channel will grow and so happy for you that Solidworks is sponsoring a Solid Guy!! Thank you for bringing such knowledgeable and inspiring content.

so excited to see your continued adventures into digital manufacturing!

I love the fact that you are not an expert, but you enjoy the process. It's a reminder that the journey is (at least) as much fun as the destination, and that anyone who is motivated enough can learn and do. Great content!

UNREAL!! Love your videos man, keep up the extremely informative, engaging, and superb content!

Jeremy! All I can say is you are one of the most interesting folks on you tube. 👍

You are Awesome Jeremy, the real questions does your wife know what you have spent? I worked as a Field Service Engineer on CNC machines back in 1980-82, I left the industry to fly airplanes for a living.it is neat to see how things have evolved. Keep up the great videos. You are an inspiration to many.

You're right. The plasma cutter is more exciting to watch. You've got me thinking about retrofitting my CNC with a plasma cutter. My wife will not be amused. LOL!

Love the work and the machine is amazing I've got my CNCRP but this is just so much for of a jack of all trades!

Awesome! I'm loving the new shop too!

In 2000 I started saving for a CnC plasma cutter, by 2004 I had saved up enough for a Hypertherm 60 amp torch, 100 gal air compressor, and a PlasmaCam 4'x4' CnC table. The whole setup cost me just around 13k. I'll bet your entire setup cost HALF. so I am thinking 7.5k. I went through the same learning curve you did, and I giggled and screamed when my first cuts came off the machine.

I wish there was a love button in addition to like... You clearly enjoy your projects and it's enjoyable seeing and hearing your reactions.

Amazing video!! Love this project

Love the content, Jeremy! Look forward to the rest of the series!

It is not vacuum gripping a tool, but tool release mechanism. It is more kin to air quick connect. When air is pressurized, a piston pushes on a spring loaded mechanism to release grip on tool. Balls gripping ISO tool release mechanism, and pulling on it when mechanism deactivates (no air). Also, 2 valves are probably needed because of amount of flow/pressure change, to actuate faster/more powerful. Great video and great machine! Keep up the good work!

Great job. Love it.

thanks for showing the been a newb moments, it's encouraging to see every now and then :D awesome machine

Crazy gears.Can't wait to see what you come up with using those gears in a project.

He have a lot of insanely dope content on your vidoes! This one is another one added to the archives. Awesome stuff!!!

All good. Great machine. Really appreciate how you work out what you need and then get something that does the job running at 50% power. Also interesting to see what happens when when you state a problem out loud as opposed to just thinking about it. Not sure how often it has happened to me that I see a solution only when I'm describing it in words (and when I have used similar words describing the problem in my mind. Thanks for the video. Cheers, David

Very ambitious project Jeremy...ill be watching this till its completion.

You continue to lift my day with your content. I love your infectious enthusiasm Sir. J.

It’s soOoo cool to see someone who enjoys what he does. Keep it up Dude. You’re awesome 👍🏼

That's freaking awesome brother! Thanks for sharing!

Nicely done

Whadda you mean "Close to awesomeness" ? It is AWESOME 😁 !!. You are a wizard 🧙‍♂️

That looks like a MT40 taper tool holder. That's a super nice motor. And 9hp is insane. That would make for a good sized cnc metal milling machine. I love the surpluses and auctions. I spent my early life in those places. I've got a shop full of great used machines. Lawrence Livermore labs used to have a Sunday auction that will never be seen again. Deals from heaven.

good stuff Jeremy keep posting 👍🍀

Great video. Watching your videos from Kenya.

0:11 happy like a child, filled with unexplainable joy. Never lose that brother.

Oh man the excitement. Can't wait for the future videos!

Just awesome Jeremy

I just discovered your videos - Great camera work and content - Keep this going!!

Living vicariously thorough this video.

Love the video.... Subscribed!

Love your videos mate. Always informative exciting keep up the great work.

Super jealous of your dual use cnc with atc, I am excited for you, this is a serious game changer.

CAT type tool holders generally use a stack of Belleville springs to retain the tool holder. The air releases it only.

Love your vides, looking forward to more of this!

Love watching your videos!

You are having way too much fun with this, and now I want one too.

Looks like Jez might need a Savage-style 'grin-ectomy'! Fabulous start and fascinating vid. Thanks mate.

I realize this is what you do, but thank you! Great detail and presentation.

Good job man ur KILLING it

Such an epic project. Nice video. Mahalo for sharing. : )

You and this are soooo totally cool!

Sweet setup , definitely check the motor , I prefer the ones that are damaged. You can rewind the coils , and change the bearings while you have it apart.

For real I dont understand a thing you're talking about. But I love watching your videos. Brother keep it up!

I enjoy your videos very much. A lot of stuff not applicable because I live in Australia

This is one of my new favorite channels lol

Love your project, im trying to build a super fast cnc with linear servo motors

You did a good job, I wana build mine in near future

You are just super awesome man

sweet looking cnc

You make me laugh watching you discover things LOL keep up the GREAT videos

I need a smart buddy like you close by me.. love the mechanics you do.

I don't subscribe to anything, but your channel is fantastic, so I had to subscribe. Excellent work!

Lookin good! The green button on the side of the spindle is a tool release button FYI.

That´s so cool

This series is giving me a contact enthusiasm.

one of the best youtubers right here!

Outstanding Jeremy. I am jealous my friend.

Very nice

Very cool. You can get a muffler for those types of valves to quiet them down.

I would love to see how you set up Mach IV with your homemade setup! Great work by the way!

Can you include some real time video of the plasma cutting, and the milling when you get to that

Jeremy, you are nailing it! Love how this is going. One of our waterjets uses the exact same air solenoid valves. The high pressure water valve uses air to open and close. Keep up the good work!

John Saunders @NYC CNC has incredible information! I'd love to see you two in a crossover 😳😁

Man you wanna make me buy, a cnc plasma cutter! and i am pretty sure that will be the case soon. I always thaugt i need a laser or waterjet cutter I´m looking forward to your upcoming content, your channel is gold

I'll just make this prediction now. Jeremy will have his own TV show in the next 5 years! High quality stuff.

Awesomeness

Nice!

I'm going to guess you're around 8g's into this. I love it, glad I found your channel.

I set-up spindles like these regularly. Some of them have internal valves, some don't. Typically you'll have one or two air input lines for the tool clamp, and you'll have one for the taper blowoff/spindle blowoff. There should be an internal zero speed sensor that will not allow the tool to unclamp if the spindle is turning. If it doesn't, you should set it up with an external zero speed sensor. ETA: awesome project, very jealous of your machine.

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!!!!!!

Organic gears!? I love organic gears. I just found your channel, I'm impressed. The fabricated/laminated wood lathe is unique.

Everlast, good choice.

A smart man!

Hi Jeremy. I’ve been watching your channel for ages. I’m into all the same stuff. Great seeing the latest developments. My guess for the cost of the machine is...$3800. Then with all the additional costs fixing it up.....er....$650. Plus cost of plasma cutter and CNC torch cable. Whatever that works out to be. I’m guessing the software side of things was sponsored. Congratulations. Whatever the cost was, I know it was cheap. My favourite place to shop is the local scrapyard. Kind Regards mate, Rohan

Awesome gear cutting! I've got no idea where to start with pricing your set-up.
