Yeah man I'm confident I've watched almost every impressive diy cnc video on youtube and couldn't get enough so I started making my own porn lmao. Thanks for the compliment.

Yeah only problem with their machines is that the Neo with the options I want is $100K+. I'm working on adding a touch probe to the tool rack while also keeping all 8 tool holders. I've been getting away with not having a need for a cover. Maybe when I upgrade to a bigger frame and move everything over I'll put together something nice.

@@NikitaLab My point is exactly, this isn't a $100k machine!

Yup I try to improve every aspect of the machine besides the 6040 frame, so they all my work carries over to the next machine when I need it.

@@NikitaLab Do you have plans to expand the number of tool holders?

@@Sh4dowHunter42 Yes on a future bigger frame I plan on making a 2 row tool rack with pockets instead of clips.

Yup, I've tried a few different aliexpress vendors it all seems to be the same shit so I buy the $15 ones. Any advice on how to prevent the collets from getting stuck inside? I've tried oiling them it doesn't help much. My next idea is trying out collet nuts that you put the collet inside first (they're called captive collet nuts or something like that).

@@NikitaLab Yes, the trick is: You have to use a wrenge that fits inside the slot of the collet nut - just 1,5 mm thick. When you unscrew the collet nut the wrenge will pull the collet out of the cone. I just built one out of sheet metal, has to be quite strong stuff though Do not oil them! They have to be dust and oil free for maximum clamping force actually. The benefit of this design or type of collet nut is, that the mass is more in balance - usability at higher rpm..

@@EngineeringSpareTime you're right, just tried a different wrench that came with these tool holders and it reached the collet inside. Thanks

It's available on the UCCNC forums, idk if it's still beta or not

I don't have a number for you but it isn't bad at all, currently using a 1.2HP - "2.1SCFM@90PSI" compressor and it's keeping up.

old ones were 270oz and would skip steps at speeds above 4m/m so that was my limit, also acceleration was low at 320?(forgetting what the measure was) vs the new servos running at 17m/m and 1500 acc. The 270oz never skipped a single step on me during cuts.

So it actually did turn on but the flow wasn't high enough to deal with the sticky chips from the blue painter's tape. I've upped the flow, hopefully that'll be enough but I don't plan on running parts unsupervised with this workholding method.

Yeah, it looked like it was a bit of blue tape, but it also didn't seem to make too big a difference with that part. Thanks for the reply! :)

@@CheeseduckClaire Always cut deeper than your stock ;)

@@NikitaLab thanks Nikita, in my next videos I would like to talk about e CNC SUDA SD8035 that I am modifiying to ATC, I am using a lot of your recommendations, thanks for all

Painters tape on the face of each part and super glue between the two surfaces. You can heat the metal parts (with a torch) to help weaken the bond and release.
