I run CNC's for a living, this feels weird! Reverse your cutting direction for wood and MDF (use conventional not climbing), you will get better results! Also looks like you are using and upcut cutter so its best to to cut face down so all the crappy bits are to the rear of you work. I would also recommend slowing down to around 1000mm/min, you will loose most if not all of those rough edges. (These are just my opinions, i'm sure people will disagree!) CNC's are so cool. Have fun!

I want to see a $10,000 wireless router though

Go the other way and increase confusion by naming it C.I.S.C.O. Commercial/Industrial Sawing and Cutting Operator

Call it: Red Alert C&C Red alert, was the best C&C

That hint at the end suggests that you just want to call it, "RouteyMcRouterFace".

@Linus Tech Tips, Make sure to do a full leveling pass on the spoil board. If you don't your bed surface for your material will not be flat. This will cause you endless nightmares as the finished thickness of your project will vary from one area of the surface to another.

Well... for some reason, that was the best explanation of "stepper" motors I have ever heard/seen. If nothing else, thank you for that! (But the video was also very enjoyable, so thank you for that too!)

You can't just say CNC?

Linus, former CNC router operator here. Yes you really do need a ton of double sided tape on small pieces, or else you risk the worm piece becoming dislodged and shooting across the shop, potentially damaging equipment of injuring staff.

A few things you need to do: 1) Always turn off the power (to the bit) when putting your hands on the bit. That's bare bones basic shop safety. You fail high school shop class if you don't do that, even once. A guy in my school lost four fingers just in the three years I was there. 2) Also bare bones basic safety is everyone in the vicinity is required to wear safety glasses whenever the machine is used. Spare safety glasses should always be hanging on the wall near the door in case any staff enter. Anyone not wearing them needs to be told to get out before the machine is turned on. 3) Build a three sided acrylic box around the top of that cart (or a surface of your choosing) to protect the laptop from the dust. Even with the proper dust collector, you will be glad to have it. Dust will settle on everything in the entire room. 4) That bit is moving back and forth, and If the bit hits the end of the vacuum you're holding in this video, it might cause something bad to happen. Mostly it's just a bad practice. So don't do that. 5) I recommend having an open vent on the floor somewhere connected to a powerful vacuum. Then you can just sweep dust over to the vent and done.

Came here to see a 10k networking router.. was not not disappointed... I say it should be called Linus's big boy toy.

I got weak af when you sailed “YOU PUT THAT MUCH ON????” 🤣🤣🤣

Call it "The Undroppable"

Call it "Not The Router"

These things are so fun. Very satisfying to get a good result on a project.

I run a CNC router with a 5x10 cast iron table/gantry with vacuum hold down, automatic tool changer, and servo motors. I literally want to write you an essay of things that will save you months/years of learning.

Call it:" Linus 2.0 " because it is fast and will probably break things if not put under proper supervision.

I think you should call him CISCO. It will not be confusing at all

ive built (and use) these things, you guys make it so much harder than it has to be.

That old guy in the commercial at 0:29 looks like he could be Linus' dad o_o

Linus you can't throw a 500 router off camera trying to look cool and then look in its direction to make sure its okay. Don't look at the explosion Linus.. Walk away

Congrats on your new CNC machine! That's definitely something to be VERY proud of for having in-house. But...Please, guys, lockout-tagout when when performing work or maintenance inside the machine operational envelope. Tape out a perimeter on the floor to help visualize. Safety, safety, safety. Please also get a machine operation indicator light installed near the machine, and never place anything inside the machine operational envelope while it is operating (e.g. vacuum nozzles). Safety, safety, safety. Please be so careful, guys, and please heed this advice from someone that spent nearly a decade as a machinist and programmer for Thermwood Model 90's. I know this that these machines are so freakin' cool, and they are absolutely mesmerizing to watch. Just please be cautious, and know this machine can and will severely injure you if you are careless with its operation. Safety, safety, safety.

Oh my goodness so much more crazy things to make I already love the diy aspect of ltt Soo much this is gonna Soo much fun ❤️❤️

The ltt penetrator

i don't know about a name, but you guys need to make a full wood pc case now.

I'm disappointed that this wasn't a networking router.

holly shit linus i have a CNC background having built mine from scratch and the detail you have explained this has taken me many you tube vids to understand. great job! love it when tech and maker craft come together dont you?

"Cuty-ma-tron"

"The Accident Waiting To Happen"

Linus look up what safety gear you need for a CNC. If someone is killed by it (praying that doesn't happen) your insurance will probably find you at fault for lack of safety equipment. You really need to install laxan screens to all sides to protect staff. Small offcuts can fly out at very high speed (200mph+) these are as deadly as any bullet and need to be taken seriously. You should also be wearing at least a filter mask if not a respirator, your lungs are important and breathing in plastic fibres doesn't do you any good. Sorry if this sounds like a long rant but I deeply care for all the LTT staff and want them all to be safe and happy at work. 😊 P.s. never put anything in a running CNC!!! Body parts are nothing to a CNC, if it touches you say goodbye to that body part. If you reach in with something else (say a hover) and the bit makes contact with it, you'll be lucky if you only end up with metal shards of hover in you. Please be careful and have a staff meeting explaining how deadly these extremely powerful machines can be. There an amazing tool and I'm glad but nervous you have one. Just please teach people this is a machine that needs to be respected, and is not a toy.

I think its great the you guys went and got something like this, this not only lets you make whatever you want but opens up many business oppurtunities if the gentlemen whos with you while your making the logo likes things like this. Great team you got on your side!

I love your maker projects and I love that I never know if it will be a success or a failure either way you succeed at entertaining me

Call it the Buzzy Dust Supplying Machine, Or BDSM for short.

Call it Drillbert!

Can you make a custom GPU cooler that has a wooden shell and backplate?? Air cooled with NOCTUA fans would be cool to see since EK did a water one.

this is the kind of stuff my mom does as an engineer. both cnc machines and high precision measuring machines set up in a similar way. pretty dope.

TOR for The Other Router Plus you get onions points i think

"802.11.ac"...You fooled us by thinking that it's a router..so it gets a router name 😂😂😂

Oh my God I really want to put this thing together myself, it looks like so much fun!

The LMG team doing what I do each day teaching students to do with a Shopbot and Aspire.

Call it Dustin, because there’s going to be a lot of DUST IN your workshop

Call it 'New Colton' and then keep firing it up!

The Neutrino Cutter Physics lads will understand

If you're cutting metal (aluminum or light steel) get some flexible hose attached to FOUR nozzles so you can spray or jet a stream of NON-FLAMMABLE cooling fluid (an oil which is recyclable) or plain water towards the area being CNC'ed. If you want to get REALLY FANCY when routing hard steels such as hard Plexiglas/Acrylic, Stainless Steel or Maraging Steel or 8000 Series aluminum, you can do FULL IMMERSION CNC where the part itself is immersed fully in a 12 inch deep tray of NON-FLAMMABLE and HEAT-RESISTANT cooling oil or plain water so the ENTIRE PART is cut/drilled/routed underwater. Do remember that that ONE LITRE of cooling fluid is about 2.5 lbs or one kilogram of weight, so make sure the routing table can actually withstand 1000 kilos of weight (2500 lbs) that will be caused by a fully filled water/coolant tray. Also, I would HIGHLY SUGGEST some extra electrical grounding-to-Earth and ground-fault-interrupt switches for your controller gear, water-sealed electrical cabling and for the motors which SHOULD also be upgraded to FULLY waterproof motors! With that UPGRADED machine, you can CNC full aluminum or stainless steel cases with 3D sculpted artwork such as skulls and cross bones for your pirate-themes computers, or you can make a single SUPER-DUPER-COMPUTER-CASE out of a solid block of Aluminum or transparent or tinted Acrylic with room for EIGHT fully 3D sculpted interior forms which have built-in cooling fins and standoffs that can fit x399 motherboards that are FULLY IMMERSED in LIQUID COOLANT !!! Now THAT would be a killer project to do for LTT! P.S. Remember to powder-coat the metal version of the 3D sculpted 8-Motherboard super-case using glow-in-the-dark yellow paint with blue pinstriping and a skull'n'bones pirate motif!

go for "The actual internet router"

If calling it a router is confusing, then call it Linksys Modem instead

Yepp CNC work is a whole lotta fun. You even have to account for the couple of thou offset for a tool, pressure relief on the material, the microns of wear on the tool, spindle runout, ect.

Rooty Tooty Point-n-Route-y

Dust safety is going to be a huge problem if you don't take adequate precautions. At a minimum you need P100 rated dust mask for anyone in the same room as that thing. A changing room to change out of the clothes you wore inside the room would be a good idea too as that stuff sticks to your clothing and contaminates every space you go into. Breathing too much of that dust will give you silicosis. Dust collectors will not protect you from fine dust particles, they catch the larger stuff but are only partially effective on the really fine stuff that causes health problems. Just take a look at the HEPA filter in your dust collector after a few uses, that's the stuff you breath in while being in the same room as that gear. Despite the health risks. Well worth it for what that machine will let you guys do. billpentz.com/woodworking/cyclone/index.cfm

*Localhost*

This is one of my favourite KZfaq channels

New shot game to play when watching. Every time Linus touches his pocket (checking his phone I’m guessing) you take a shot.

cuttymatron. blowymatron's bigger more dangerous brother

Time to overclock it?

Looks like you need a dust collector next! lol I started my business with a CNC router parts PRO4824 machine 5 years ago, working on upgrades this spring to a custom cnc design I made, and have a tormach 770m arriving tomorrow! CNC is awesome! Have fun! edit...lol saw the dust collector =D

I like that your content is random enough that occasionally it interests me.

*Wow will this survive a month?*

Now can you make a heatsink? With nice symmetry? The previous attempts were atrocious...

What make/model is the red laptop earlier in the video? Thanks!

I do CNC at my job but in a bigger scale... this small version looks pretty fun

Where is the RGB???

The Cutinator 2080 RTX - now with ray tracing!

Call it Nighthawk for supreme confusion

GJ, Linus media! You finally found a router that you understand! :)

Call the router "Linus Woodchips"

Name it A.R.E.O for Alex's Really Expensive Object

The killer machine 😂👍

But can it transfers 10Gbps ?

Colton is there just for fun. As usual.

I'd love to see a revisit to the homemade heatsink video done with this, GPU coolers, waterblocks, etc. Maybe custom back plates for GPUs too. A custom aluminium/acrylic SFF case (integrated heatsink?), or a small run of LTT merch to sell or give away to patrons or something.

Get some acrylic around 3 of the 4 sides, that will keep the mess to a minimum when running, and you can just sweep/blow/vacuum it all out at once. Next get a bitfan. Literally a fan attachment for the drill bits.

Awesome shit :D i want one too for my little apartment

"Drillbro Swaggins"

I'm pretty sure you should call it "Linus" . . . . . For instance: What else can we do with Linus Were are we going to find room to put Linus What else can Linus make and finally Linus may be broken or I think I broke Linus Tell me I'm wrong..

That router is a beast

V-carve pro is amazing, currently use that at work, can do many of great things with it

"Not a Router" as an homage to the Not a Flamethrower.

It should be called Woodripper as in Threadripper. (Taken from someone else. Just wanted to spread the name further)

My engineering class had a router and we used mach3 loader. It was kind of a crappy router but it was fun as hell to use for little signs and stuff.

C.M.T.----- Computer Modification Table. Love the Router. I Have A 25"x25" version.

LCDT = Linus Cant Drop This ^^

Call it Colton, so you can call the real Colton something else or just fire him.

7:06 , Colton you're not needed, you're fired, lol!

Board in the middle looks like a Smoothstepper we use them on our CNC Hotwire cutters.

If it cuts metal, you could use it to make a new episode of sketchy heatsink!

I’d name it “Linus Vaginus.” For 5 reasons: 1. Cause its “one meaty machine.” 2. Super stable and can “take a pounding.” 3. It took “an orgy of a crew” to install. 4. It likes “working with wood.” 5. You can say stuff like “Your highness, I present to you, the Linus Vaginus.” Sounds pretty royal to me.

My job is using big routers. Our routers use a vacuum to hold materials. But I usually cut out little Willie's when no one is looking

So funny... Linus talks about safety with a robot router, then proceeds to be extremely risky with a chisel, arguably... Respect for all the work you do, thanks for giving us something to enjoy, criticize, and laugh at! Don't ever have your body in the path of a chisel, even if you think you're using light enough pressure, or think that it's "not REALLY in the way...."

Get a HEPAfilter cartridge for the dust collector the bags are not as good for the fine dust... It will goes everywhere

13:24 how to end up with a chisel in your wrist.

Good luck guys... I work with the big daddies of cncs... 5, 7 axis turning and milling xD you'll have a hard time... Just make sure that if you machine metal, you get carbide endmills

SPEEDS N FEEDS! lol I remember hearing that a lot as my time as a cnc machinist.

"Not the router" Best not router router name

Build an acrylic water block.

call it "the Miller" and do a Custom Water Cooling loop with it

You guys should lift stuff more often, that part was the best entertainment I’ve had in a while. Computer guys in an unnatural habitat lol.

Call the router "Linksys"

10.000$ Networking router in the next episode

That router is a beast You could call it the The machine with power

All I know about cncs is something something feeds and speeds. I would love to learn how to use these cause they are definitely the future of manufacturing. I think I'll get a 3D printer first though!
