I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your thoroughness in your presentations. You are an excellent teacher and your content is superb. I'm brand new to CNC, bought a RatRig Pro and will be studying all (ahem, ALL) of your videos. THANK YOU!

This is a video I wish I had seen a year ago! So much good information packed in to this one video. I especially liked the details on different tapes and CA glues and accelerators. The accelerator I have works well, but it sure does stink!

Amazing channel and I will be watching this when I get home tonight. From the few videos I have watched you have a really nice workshop

Loving the series and feeding the algorithm.

What a nice and info packed video! Thanks. Surprised to hear that you are using 1/4-20 bolts. I thought it was only those of us in the US who had to deal with archaic units😃

I usually store my super glue in the fridge, easily last more than a year. btw, nice video and tutorial.

I always learn something new from your very informative videos. Always well presented. My router is currently out of order, having stepper motor issues and waiting for them to be repaired or scrapped. Keep up the good work... Peter

If I may add. For the vacuum plate we can also use some vacuum cards or vaccum fleace materials. So the need for the part material to be very clean is not necessary anymore, also the fleace or card material can help improve the force of the vaccum. This will work for the vacuum plates with holes instead of the grid pathern. For the grid pathern u can use a pice of sand paper inside the peritimeter of the gasket. I use a Busch R5 100cubic meter pump never had issues with a part moving . I generally use the vaccum fixture when I have multiple parts. I leave 1-2 mm material in place then I cut all the parts and index them on the vice and mill the second op. Hope this helps out. Happy miling!!

Hello, your channel is pure gold! thank you so much for the insights. One question: how do you remove the CA glue from the workpiece (Aluminium) or do you use CA in a sandwich layout between two layers of tape?

The clamps for the poor people I use: 1. go to your preferred hobby store and buy aluminium "L" profiles of different profile sizes (the thicker is the better, i.e. 2 mm) 2. Return to your shope and make holes with your drll to create elongated slots along the profile length on the long leg of the "L" shape. 3. Refine the slots with a file to provide a smoth place where the vertical screw will pass through. 4. Cut as many profile sections as your holes/slots along the profile length. 5. Your done. Now you have a lot of low profile clamps of different height to be used. The short leg of the "L" stay slightl angled on the spoliboard surface. The long leg push over your plate of material. I use this clamps made of alu-profiles to clamp plastic plates and alu plates with small tools (i.e. max 4 mm of dia)
