CNC Hold Down Methods: Workholding and How to Clamp Material to Your Spoilboard Corbin Dunn 2024-03-28 | Hey CNC Woodworkers! This video covers 10+ different ways to do work holding on a CNC table. I have different techniques that I prefer for different types of CNC router work, which have evolved a bit over the years. I specifically discuss ways that work best for a t-track spoilboard table, but I used some of the same hold downs with my 1/4-20 pronged t-nut table. Some techniques are better for toolpaths that are only cutting in the middle of a workpiece, others are better for flattening the entire worktop, and some others are best when you are machining away the entire sides of a piece (like CNC'ing a bowl). I briefly discuss vacuum tables and chucks, but I personally do not have one of these (yet!).You are free to copy my 3D printed designs, and would be a great exercise in CAD. If you want to just get the files I made, I have them available here:*CAD Design / STL Files** Low Profile Toe Clamps for 3D Printing: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/low-profile-cnc-toe-clamps-for-t-track-hold-downs-with-nut-tightener-handle-3d-printable-out-of-pla* Cam Side Clamps for 3D Printing: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/digital-files-cnc-cam-clamps-for-3d-printing*Materials / References** Preferred double sided tape: amzn.to/3PG5oYP* Alternative double sided tape: amzn.to/43At2eS (cheaper, but it doesn't rip as easily)* 2nd Alternative double sided tape: amzn.to/3Tyd4O1 (A little "thick" for my preference)* T bolts for T-track tables: amzn.to/3VFxDLc* T-tracks: amzn.to/3TDfIlA* CA Glue: amzn.to/43z6rQ1* Blue Tape: amzn.to/4adEW0R* Omer B17P Composite Nailer: avidcnc.com/omer-b17p-composite-nailer-p-315.html* Composite Nails on Amazon: amzn.to/3x8HWgi* Raptor Composite Nails: avidcnc.com/raptor-composite-nails-p-316.html*NOTES:* *Double Sided Tape:* I prefer the Intertape brand listed above for the reasons I listed in the video, but I have used the other tapes, and they do work, and are cheaper.*Composite Nailer:* I have NOT used the composite nailer.

I would definitely give it a try if I didn't have a vacuum table and was doing sheet goods on a regular basis.*Blue Tape/CA Glue:* I don't like to use the Blue Tape and CA Glue method anymore, but it is worth trying if you have it around and don't have double sided tape, and you can find the materials locally (Home Depot, etc). I found that a higher quality blue tape works better than cheaper blue tape. Thin CA glue works best, and accelerator "sometimes" causes issues, so I stopped using it. The glue also doesn't work as well as it ages, even in un-opened bottles.thanks!Corbin Dunncorbinsworkshop.com // Products and CNC Filescorbinstreehouse.com // Blog*Chapters:*0:00 Intro & Overview0:29 1 - Low Profile Toe Clamps3:12 2 - Slotted Wood Top Clamps5:29 3 - Scrap Wood Top Clamps6:36 4 - Metal Top Clamps7:13 5 - Side Cam Clamps10:21 6 - Wedge Clamps13:47 7 - Double Sided Tape16:42 8 - Blue Tape & CA Glue17:41 9 - Screws & Nails18:53 10 - Vacuum Table / Chuck19:27 Conclusion* The usual disclaimer - some links are Amazon affiliate links, where I earn a small commission from your purchase at no cost to you.

CNC Work Offsets: How to use offsets to save time on your CNC machine setup Corbin Dunn 2024-02-27 | Hey CNC Users! In this video I will teach you all about work offsets on a CNC machine: why to use them, how to set them up, and how to use them in software. Having multiple work offsets allows you to setup multiple work stations on your CNC machine and easily do work at one or another without having to touch off or find the origin again and again. This can save you a ton of time when you do repeatable operations, which a CNC machine is really good at. I'm using a CNC router: an Avid Pro CNC Machine running Mach 4, but I also discuss Tormach's PathPilot controller, as I have a Tormach PCNC and use offsets on it. But the overall process is generic enough to work with any CNC control software: Masso, Centroid Acorn, Linux CNC, etc. It should also work with Pendant style CNC controllers, provided they support changing the work offset somehow. I also discuss how to use CAM (toolpath) software with offsets, specifically Autodesk Fusion 360 and Vectric VCarve (and Aspire), but a lot of the information is generic enough to apply to any CAM software. I'll discuss the GCODE commands for work offsets (G54, G55, G56, G57, G59 and beyond) and how I use them in the MDI window. Finally, at the end I'll give some specific tips for Mach 4 in general.facebook.com/groups/corbincncwoodworking - Corbin's CNC Woodworking Group on Facebook!*Useful References** CNC Woodworking Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbMbcTzG1FccDPoZSpoD56eHoBhQPO4E* Avid CNC Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbMbcTzG1Fcr_NdXjF9GHLV7ZoYsQV7J* Mach 4 Offsets Overview: youtube.com/watch?v=0aRifYB70Mc* Mach 4 Manual: machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Mach4%20Operation%20Manual.pdf (NOTE: Find your version in your Mach 4 directory)* Tormach PathPilot Offsets: tormach.com/articles/how-to-set-work-offsets-with-pathpilot* Linux CNC Offsets: linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/coordinates.html* Fusion 360 CAD software - autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview -- you can get a free "hobby license"Thanks everyone!Corbin Dunncorbinstreehouse.com // Blog & Websitecorbinsworkshop.com // CNC Files, Products, Woodworking Portfolio#cncwoodworking #cnc Chapters:0:00 Intro0:37 What are they?2:23 Work Offsets: GCode3:12 Activating Work Offsets3:27 Saving X/Y/Z in the offset6:46 Software: Fusion 3608:20 Software: Vectric VCarve / Aspire10:13 Software - Generic Use10:58 Copying Offsets13:11 Additional Work Offsets14:43 Best Practices16:05 Things to be aware of17:02 Vectric VCarve's Offset17:38 Mach 4 Specific Tips19:09 Conclusion

The Corner Cabinet: Building Furniture with my CNC, Dominos, Biscuits, Pocket Holes, & Hand Tools Corbin Dunn 2024-02-20 | Hey woodworkers! I'm starting to design some custom furniture, and this is my first piece: a corner cabinet! I used my CNC machine to cut out a lot of the joinery (mortise and tenon), and also do some of the complex curves. But, I decided to through in some floating tenons (aka: Festool Domino's), biscuits, and pocket hole screws. A little bit of everything...even using my hand plane for a bit. This cabinet could be made without all these fancy tools, it would just take some more time and layout. And cutting some of the joinery on the CNC may not have been faster than simply setting up a dado stack on the table saw. Still, it is fun to investigate what the CNC is capable of doing.

Voronoi Texture Cabinet Design - From rough sawn lumber to dovetailed drawers and a cabinet Corbin Dunn 2024-01-09 | Hey woodworkers! This is a small cabinet that I designed explicitly to fit under my CNC machine. I wanted to do a crazy texture on the drawer fronts, and settled on this voronoi texture design which I created in Blender. The wood to make this was all "free" from my property, which means it is a softwood fir and pine (that's mostly what we have in the Lake Tahoe area of California). After the front was designed in Blender, I imported the STL into Fusion 360 to generate all the toolpaths. The cabinet itself was designed in Fusion, along with the dovetailed drawers. I used my vertical work table on the Avid CNC to cut the dovetails. This is mostly a CNC woodworking project. Feel free to download a copy of the files and make something similar!facebook.com/groups/corbincncwoodworking - Corbin's CNC Woodworking Group on Facebook!**Free downloads** Cabinet: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/digital-file-abstract-cabinet-design -- These are the Fusion 360 files, and the parametric Blender file I used to create the front design.

CNC Dovetail Joinery on Reclaimed Old Growth Water Tank Redwood for Hydroponics or Aquaponics Corbin Dunn 2023-12-21 | Whew, the title is lengthy! I've been hoarding this old water tank redwood for quite a few years. It's hard to grow vegetables in the cold Lake Tahoe region of California, and we wanted a way to get them year round. So, I decided to design a small test hydroponics / aquaponics system, and build a shelf to contain it all. This build is mainly about the shelf - I made it for "free" from an old water tank, using my CNC router to cut some dovetail joinery, all without actually using a dovetail bit. My new vertical work table did come into play for cutting out the pin boards! I'm not really planning on talking about the actual grow setup; I haven't worked out all the details on it, but stay tuned for some future video where I may (or may not) talk about it.Download the Fusion 360 CAD File:corbinsworkshop.com/shop/digital-file-wood-shelf-designfacebook.com/groups/corbincncwoodworking - Corbin's CNC Woodworking Group on Facebook!The file has two CAM toolpath setups; one for the pins cut vertically, and another for the tails cut horizontally. I used really slow toolpaths to avoid chipout; redwood is incredibly soft and prone to chipping out, and I also had a lot of vertical unsupported area when cutting the pins. Download the file to get a feel for how I setup everything; one key point is to make sure the same side is used to reference the joinery.Low profile hold down toe clamps:corbinsworkshop.com/shop/low-profile-cnc-toe-clamps-for-t-track-hold-downs-with-nut-tightener-handle-3d-printable-out-of-plaVertical Spoilboard: youtube.com/watch?v=goEUX2vf508Bit: amzn.to/4aIjEJFFeeds and speeds noted in the video and in the Fusion 360 file.My machine is a 4'x8' Avid CNC Pro. avidcnc.comCorbin Dunncorbinstreehouse.com // Blog & Websitecorbinsworkshop.com // CNC Files, Products, Woodworking PortfolioTimestamps:0:00 Intro0:34 Wood prep1:07 Joinery Concept1:28 CNC Dovetail Pins2:32 CNC Dovetail Tails3:31 Mess of a glue up3:58 Finishing5:04 Adding Shelves5:49 Final Shots#cncwoodworking #cnc #avidcncSome other notes are talking about my CNC router, cnc woodworking tips, cnc dovetail joinery, cnc projects, cnc bits, and making a shelf with my CNC wood router.*** Some links are Amazon Affiliate links where I make a small commission at no cost to you if you make a purchase ***
The Ultimate CNC Vertical Work Table! Design considerations, the build, and the free CAD files Corbin Dunn 2023-12-12 | This is a vertical CNC work table for doing custom CNC woodworking joinery. The ability to mount pieces vertically allows the cutting of joints: dovetails, mortise, tenons, and anything else you can think of! I talk about my design considerations, and then discuss how I went about building it. I've got an Avid CNC Pro 4x8 (a cnc router), but this design would work well with any machine where you can customize the table -- such as the Onefinity machines (Infinity Elite, Woodworker, Journeyman, etc) and other brands. It won't work well on machines that have a permanent welded table (ie: Phantom CNC). facebook.com/groups/corbincncwoodworking - Corbin's CNC Woodworking Group on Facebook!CNC Vertical Work Table CAD File: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/digital-file-cnc-vertical-work-table-spoilboard-cad-file3D Printed Cam Clamps: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/digital-files-cnc-cam-clamps-for-3d-printing3D Printed Toe Clamps: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/low-profile-cnc-toe-clamps-for-t-track-hold-downs-with-nut-tightener-handle-3d-printable-out-of-pla Update: see my blog post thoughts about things I already want to improve on this design: corbinstreehouse.com/blog/2024/02/video-notes-cnc-vertical-work-tableBits/etc:* 3/8 spiral up cut bit: amzn.to/3FQCM9W* 2" surfacing bit: infinitytools.com/dado-planer-router-bits * 1” t-bolts — amzn.to/47Wr61Y* 1.5” t-bolts — amzn.to/488Lk84 * 2” t-bolts — amzn.to/3uXqt9L* Dogs: precisiondogs.us/products/precision-bench-dogs?variant=15569318740017 * T-Tracks (I’ve tried all these versions - all seem about the same): Option #1: amzn.to/40DxRCp Option #2: amzn.to/48bBX7K Option #3: amzn.to/48cg34q * My Horizontal CNC spoilboard CAD File: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/digital-file-cnc-spoilboard-cad-file-for-fusion-360Check out my entire playlist for my CNC Build: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbMbcTzG1Fcr_NdXjF9GHLV7ZoYsQV7JReferences: Jay Bates video: youtube.com/watch?v=K_v9JcYxilUJay's Files:jayscustomcreations.com/product/avid-cnc-machine-file-template-with-toolpaths-vcarve-pro-fileFrank Howarth's video: youtube.com/watch?v=z_uDhn77QawAvid CNC: avidcnc.comThanks everyone!

Perfect Deep Wood Inlay - How to get perfect inlays with a CNC machine using straight bits (no gaps) Corbin Dunn 2023-12-02 | Hi CNC woodworkers! This video is how to get perfect inlays with a straight bit. Using a straight bit is required when you want a deep inlay; something greater than 1/2" thick and up to 1" thick. You may also want to do a deep inlay in order to have the design on both sides of the wood. I cover a lot of detail: why to do them, how to properly work around vector design limitations, speeds and feeds, leaving material, and inlay tolerances. Then I'll discuss what parameters to change in two of the most popular CAM/toolpath generation programs: Fusion 360 and Vectric VCarve (also applies to Vectric Aspire). You can skip over to the chapters that discuss the program you use. I'll quickly cover how to make an inlay in each program, but this video is more about how to find the right inlay parameters, and not how to use VCarve or Fusion. facebook.com/groups/corbincncwoodworking - Corbin's CNC Woodworking Group on Facebook!The alternative way to do an inlay is with a v-bit, and vcarve the inlay. I prefer VCarve inlays when doing a design that will only appear on one side of my project. * My email list / newsletter: corbinsworkshop.com/newsletter_subscribe* Amana bit I disucssed and use: amzn.to/46AFCKY* Bit information: amanatool.com/45611-k-solid-carbide-15-degree-engraving-0-005-tip-width-x-1-4-inch-shank-signmaking-spektratm-extreme-tool-life-coated-router-bit.htmlNote that this bit has a slight taper; I set it up as a 1/8" bit, and assume no taper. One thing I didn't mention is that this slight taper helps a tiny bit with the fit on these deep inlays. If you use this bit, be sure to push your inlays together from the sides you carved on; this should be no problem, if you follow my instructions on leaving a "skin", as you won't be able to get it wrong.Testing Bit/spindle runout: precisebits.com/tutorials/spindle_runout.htm* Free 3D printable dust shoe design: youtu.be/lf1BBPod6NY* 3/8" spiral up cut bit: amzn.to/46PJUyD* 3/8" downcut bit: amzn.to/3LOuLWq* 1/4" spiral up cut bit: amzn.to/46xWfrFx - also try Whiteside RU2100, which works well too,* 1/4" ball nose from 2L: 2linc.com* CNC Machine: avidcnc.com -- I have a Pro 4x8', but my ATC spindle is from cncdepot.net (I have no affiliation with either company)* Hex Bowl With Inlay: youtu.be/didl7uGMJeM* Deep Inlay Salad Bowl: youtu.be/4PLCvl3kIg4Let me know if you want me to update the file to include this inlay.

Dont buy a cyclone dust collector? Use a cheap dust collector instead! Corbin Dunn 2023-11-03 | No cyclone dust collector, no problem! I'm really just joking -- I would love an expensive 5hp cyclone dust collector, but I am sticking with my basic 3 HP grizzly dust collector for now. But what about all that dust that is bad to breath? Things under 2.5 microns are super bad for your lungs and can cause cancer. Those typical filter bags only filter down to 2.5 microns, so you are breathing the worst dust with those type of systems. I set out to improve upon it by putting mine in it's own closet, and using a fine grade filter.facebook.com/groups/corbincncwoodworking - Corbin's CNC Woodworking Group on Facebook!I built this dust collector closet for around $100-$120, but that is because I milled all the wood myself from downed trees. You could probably get all the wood for a few hundred dollars, and finish the outside with some cheap 1/2" drywall, and still get the benefits of better air inside your shop. The filter was probably $20 or so, but I forget at this point.What do you all think? Is this a good idea or a terrible idea? Let me know in the comments! The only materials I bought were the insulation, and the purpose of the insulation was to make it quieter, and is somewhat optional. Sometimes my CNC is quiet enough where I don't feel like I need to use hearing protection.I still will have to wear my dust mask a bit; my CNC machine kicks out a lot of fine particles when I'm not using my dust boot. I did measure the dB of things using an iPhone app. With the doors open, I see about 78 dB when pretty close by, and it drops to 72 dB when the door is closed. In the middle of my shop, it is around 67 dB, which is a normal conversation noise level. It's best to avoid prolonged exposures to over 85 dB to avoid hearing loss. I feel pretty confident that the noise level is now low enough where I can leave it running and not worry about hearing issues.Corbin Dunncorbinsworkshop.com // CNC files, products, portfoliocorbinstreehouse.com // Corbin's Treehouse BlogChapters:0:00 Intro and Dust Issues0:33 Other Options1:25 My Solution2:18 The build5:05 Insulation5:37 Conclusion#woodworking #cncwoodworking

This is my biggest bowl yet: a hexagonal salad bowl, with an epoxy resin top! Machined on my Avid CNC router after hours and hours designing various things until I settled on this shape. The bowl is cherry wood with purple tinted epoxy, using mica powder. This was a really fun CNC woodworking project! I have about $64 worth of cherry into it..and $47 worth of epoxy stuff. So, about $110 in materials. I plan to make it available for sale...Probably around $220-$250 to cover my costs and some of my time. I have a weeks worth of work into this thing off and on...probably 20+ hrs... so I'll probably get paid $7 an hour for it, if someone buys it (UPDATE: This bowl is sold!)Now available! Get the directions / CAD File / STL files here: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/digital-download-hexagonal-salad-bowl-with-epoxy-drips-stl-cad-file-and-directions -- done in Autodesk Fusion 360.

CNC Build Ep 12: Make the ULTIMATE CNC Spoilboard! Affordable, easy to build, incredibly versatile. Corbin Dunn 2023-10-06 | Hey CNC woodworkers!This is my CNC spoilboard design. In this video I talk about the inspiration for my design, why I designed things the way I did, cost comparisons for other options, layout considerations, and then I go over the build process using my machine to make it! I have an Avid CNC, but the concepts are applicable to any wood CNC router. When I was building my spoilboard I had a lot of questions, and I hope this will help answer things, such as "how much spacing should you use for t-tracks?". Should you use T-tracks or T-nuts? A vacuum table or regular hold downs? Download my CAD file and modify it to make your own ultimate CNC spoil board / waste board! My CAD file is done in Fusion 360, which is parametric and can easily be customized for any particular needs.Download it for free here: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/digital-file-cnc-spoilboard-cad-file-for-fusion-360The things I used:* Cheap t-tracks: amzn.to/40DxRCp* Affordable 20mm dogs: precisiondogs.us/products/precision-bench-dogs?variant=15569318740017* 3/8" downcut bit: amzn.to/3LOuLWq* 1/4" downcut bit: amzn.to/48KHPWS* Also try bits from 2L: 2linc.comMore references:* Avid CNC: avidcnc.com* Avid CNC Spoilboard: avidcnc.com/support/instructions/machineSetup/spoilboard***Update***: Jay Bates made a good point about gluing: once you wear through one layer you just glue on another top!

CNC Build Ep 11: Improving the Welded Steel CNC Table for my Avid Pro CNC Machine - LESS FLEX! Corbin Dunn 2023-09-26 | Hey CNC Woodworkers! This video is for anyone who has an Avid CNC and wants to make their machine cut more accurately, but the concepts will apply to anyone who is making their own CNC table. I welded my own table base, which I discussed a bit back in this video: youtu.be/0h0Cra8IHaY The welded table is way better than the stock Avid CNC aluminum leg kit that most people build their CNC with, but I was still seeing more flex, racking and vibration than I'd like. This was showing up in some of my products, and required more sanding than I'd like to clean up issues. So, I set out to fix this problem by welding in some more steel support pieces. The great thing about the Avid CNC is the flexible design, allowing me to easily modify things and improve the precision and accuracy of the CNC machine. I used my dial test indicator to first see how much movement I was getting by running a set CNC GCode program to simulate some of the cuts I was doing. After I improved the base I could repeat the same program and see how much better the design was doing (if at all!). Follow along...feel free to ask me questions!Fusion 360 table model: a360.co/3mDhE0M (free download)Thanks everyone!

CNC Build Ep 10: Print Your Own CNC Dust Shoe for The Best CNC Dust Manifold Design Corbin Dunn 2023-09-18 | Hey CNC Woodworkers! I designed a CNC Dust Boot (Dust Shoe, or Dust Manifold) and I have the model files available for you to download for free, so you can print one at home on a regular (small-ish) format 3D printer. This is my second version for a CNC dust shoe. In this video I discuss some of design goals and considerations, tips on how to print the dust shoe, how I assemble it, and finally some notes on how much the materials will cost.facebook.com/groups/corbincncwoodworking - Corbin's CNC Woodworking Group on Facebook!Download: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/cnc-dust-shoe-v2-stls-and-fusion-360-parametric-design-for-3d-printingThis is a completely free digital download for a CNC Dust Shoe design that fits various typical spindle sizes. It is designed in Fusion 360 using parameters that can easily be customized. I also included STL files for various spindle sizes. You can print it on your typical home 3d printer, such as the Prusa i3 MK3s (etc). My design goals: thin and skinny to fit between an Automatic Tool Changer tool station without docking the boot, long enough to perform an ATC tool change, removable dust port to use it as a vacuum, and a removable brush hood, with an optional split design. I use it on a HITECO QD-1F spindle, but I know some people have had good success using my v1 design on other spindle sizes. I have an Avid CNC, but this design should work fine on any brand CNC machine. I wanted to make it even easier for people to print, so I also included the pre-setup PrusaSlicer .3MF files which show all my print settings. You can download PrusaSlicer for free and open up the files to see how I set it up for printing.If you don't want to print this yourself, then I'd recommend checking out the Etsy Store for OneGuyInAShop and buy one of his excellent designs: etsy.com/shop/OneGuyInAShop (no affiliation)Note: I incorrectly calculated the total cost in the video because I counted the magnets wrong; it is more like $47 in materials, or cheaper if you use some cheaper quality PLA and different magnets.CNC Build Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbMbcTzG1Fcr_NdXjF9GHLV7ZoYsQV7JEp 1: What CNC To Buy - youtu.be/VsXiz4nxAGc Ep 2: Welded CNC Table - youtu.be/0h0Cra8IHaYEp 3: Making an Avid CNC Precise: youtu.be/iuii8j_ln1gEp 4: How to Tram a CNC: youtu.be/wP0vGhGectgEp 5: Automatic Tool Changer: youtu.be/Idkxx6mDVUoEp 6: ATC Tool Rack Build - youtu.be/ofZPG8ICE_QEp 7: ATC Setup in Mach 4 - youtu.be/4q5K2tRYKoEEp 8: ATC Tool Heights - youtu.be/JNwBuiza2VUEp 9: ATC Post Processor Setup - youtu.be/Zs_Uf7siOO4Ep 10: 3D Printed Dust Boot - youtu.be/lf1BBPod6NYEp 11: Improving the Avid CNC Table - youtu.be/kjERid1Kxp4 Ep 12: CNC Spoilboard - youtu.be/wUP99Vdxp3ESupport my channel by subscribing! thanks everyone,Corbin Dunncorbinsworkshop.com // Products / Files / Downloadscorbinstreehouse.com // BlogChapters:0:00 Intro0:32 Design Goals and Features5:07 3D Printing Tips & Issues8:11 Assembly and Notes12:10 Conclusion and Material Costs#cncwoodworking #cnc #avidcnc
Burning Man 2023 Art Bike: The Wood Scale Bike! Using my CNC Machine for Art Projects Corbin Dunn 2023-08-16 | I decided to make an "art bike" for Burning Man 2023. The theme for this year is "Animalia" and I wanted to create an abstract "scale" bike. I used my CNC machine to cut out all the shapes, but it still took a lot of traditional woodworking prep to get the wood ready. Follow along as I make this project and check out the results at the end! I usually ride a unicycle around at BM, but this year I'll be bringing my 4 year old and need something to tow him around with. Keep an eye out for me if you are there and say "hi". Scale shape was designed with Vectric VCarve.Wood was cut with my Avid CNC Pro 4x8, using a 3/8" spiral upcut bit.

CNCing a Salad Set with a Wood Hibiscus Inlay - Salad Fork and Salad Spoon Utensils Corbin Dunn 2023-08-08 | Hey CNC woodworkers! This is my latest CNC utensil design - a salad set! I have a nice shallow spoon, which can do double duty as a spatula, and a shallow angle fork. They are identical, except for the teeth being cut out on the fork. They feature a detailed wood inlay: a hibiscus flower. This inlay is done on a curved surface! I show some of the tricks I do to make this project, my basic two sided machining techniques for doing both the top and bottom, and how I solved a few problems along the way. Some of my other CNC utensil projects had a rose inlay, so I also have a variant of the file that lets you create the rose inlay.Get the VCarve file on Etsy: etsy.me/44dijWxOr from Corbin's Workshop: bit.ly/44ijXq2The VCarve file is all pre-setup with the tool paths to make both the spoon and the fork with either the hibiscus or rose as an inlay. I also have step-by-step directions to make sure it is easy to make. It requires Vectric VCarve 11.5 (any variance, including Aspire will work).

CNC Salad Bowl - 5 DEEP INLAY Failure. With so many mistakes and test cuts... Corbin Dunn 2023-07-11 | Hey CNC woodworkers! Have you ever had a project that required a ton of sample cuts, and in the end it just didn't turn out how you wanted? Yeah, here is one of those projects that I decided to try: A salad bowl. But with a 5" deep inlay right in the middle, no v-carving, just straight inlay. It took me some clever testing to get this to work, but I was bested by some problems. I learned a lot..and you might find it useful to see what problems I went through to learn from my mistakes.

How To CNC a Bowl in Vectric VCarve - Two Sided Bowl with Tabs! Corbin Dunn 2023-06-28 | Hey CNC Woodworkers! In my last video I showed how to machine a bowl using a special jig in Fusion 360 ( youtu.be/Doy0JwG77Kk ). I know a lot of people tend to use Vectric VCarve, so I spent quite a bit of time recreating this project in VCarve so other people can make this bowl. I wanted it to be easier to make, so I did the typical approach of using "tabs" instead of a jig. The jig is actually difficult to create in VCarve due to how it works, so the tabs are a good alternative for a project like this when you don't know how to use Fusion 360. I also wanted to compare the two pieces of CNC software and discuss some of the pros and cons of each. facebook.com/groups/corbincncwoodworking - Corbin's CNC Woodworking Group on Facebook!I wrote up a complete set of directions (PDF) along with the Vectric VCarve 11.5 file and made it available: Corbin's Workshop VCarve Version: corbinsworkshop.com/shop/shallow-flow-bowl-cnc-files-and-directions-plans-step-by-step-vcarve-fileEsty Vectric VCarve Version: etsy.com/CorbinsWorkshopStore/listing/1512810367/shallow-flow-bowl-cnc-files-andBuying the file helps support my videos and work, but I'm also happy to freely send the plain STL file to people who request it and want to do their own toolpaths for it.

How to CNC a Bowl - Two Sided CNC Machining - The Shallow Flow Bowl - Fusion 360 File Available! Corbin Dunn 2023-06-16 | Hey guys! I came up with a new way to do two sided machining on my CNC machine. If you have a CNC router, and you want to machine out both sides, then you have to have some method for aligning the second operation (the bottom side). Check out this video for how I make this "Shallow Flow Bowl". This one concentrates on using Fusion 360 for the toolpaths (the CAM). You can make it too! facebook.com/groups/corbincncwoodworking - Corbin's CNC Woodworking Group on Facebook!Update: I now have a more "traditional" two sided machining way of doing this project in Vectric VCarve / Aspire: youtu.be/0-b5IXSgQdwI wrote up a complete set of directions (PDF) along with the Fusion 360 file all setup with my particular machine's toolpaths, which should work well for most CNC router machines.

For woodworking, with typical bits, that is about 1-1/4", or up to about 2.5", if your design allows cutting exactly half of each side. For complex shapes, like a bowl, you are limited to your cutter height, unless you do some clever stepping out to avoid collisions. This makes it more difficult to leave space for alignment holes.Machine: Avid CNC Pro 4'x8' with an ATC / Automatic Tool Changer Thanks everyone!Corbin Dunncorbinstreehouse.com // blogcorbinsworkshop.com // Products, CNC files (many are free)*** Some links are affiliate links...but I use these products myself! ***Timestamps:0:00 Intro0:32 The Idea1:13 Bottom Setup2:51 Bottom Machining3:23 Making the Jig4:19 Jig Setup / Use5:25 Machining the Top6:11 Finishing Up6:52 Finished ShotsMusic: Simon More - Tropical LoveUse via CC by attribution #cncwoodworking #cnc #woodworking
CNCed Jewelry Box - Heart Shaped Box. How I made it with with two sided machining and Fusion 360 Corbin Dunn 2023-06-09 | Hey CNC Woodworkers! Here's my overall process for making this wood jewelry box on my Avid CNC machine. It's a smooth organic shape, and not your traditional square box. This is one of the first projects that I did on my new CNC machine and I'm pretty excited how it came out. This heart box is an extension of my earlier wood and epoxy box: youtu.be/8WkmX344wAQI thought it would be more challenging to create an all wood version, and have two sides mate together perfectly with some sort of pattern in the middle. This is what I came up with, and my general process for how I made the box. I experimented with a lot of different hold down techniques in this video, some of which I am abandoning for various reasons. I've settled on some techniques that hold down really well and are consistent; I'll make a video documenting how I do it pretty soon.3D Low Profile Clamps: etsy.com/listing/1450374547/low-profile-cnc-toe-clamps-for-t-trackThis is the file I made for printing these yourself at home in PLA, along with a set of directions on how to print them for maximum strength. I include STL's for various sizes, along with the original parametric Fusion 360 file, and pre-set sliced versions setup in Prusa Slicer. Feel free to copy the design in case you don't want to buy my pre-made file - I'm totally fine with that! June 2023: I have a few of these boxes available for purchased on my website corbinsworkshop.com -- and if you don't see a particular one that you want, let me know!

I generally like to make PDF describing everything that needs to be done so that people will have the best success with a project like this.

CNC Build Ep 9: ATC Post Processor Mods for Vectric VCarve and Fusion 360 / Adding M6 / G43 Corbin Dunn 2023-05-27 | UPDATE, April 2024: The current Avid CNC post processor for Fusion 360 seems to work fine with tool changes, and doesn't need any mods. ------------ Hey Avid CNC Woodworkers! This is the last step in setting up my ATC on the Avid CNC. I had to modify the post processors for Fusion 360 and Vectric VCarve to generate an M6 command to do a tool change AND a G43 command to set the active tool height. Both are required to get the tool change to work properly in your GCode files.

CNC Build Ep 8: How to Set Tool Heights / ATC Tool Heights Setup in Mach 4 Corbin Dunn 2023-05-22 | Hey CNC Woodworkers! This is a continuation of my last video where I discussed my custom screen set for Mach 4. Check out that video and download it (free): youtu.be/4q5K2tRYKoE - In this video, I'm going to cover how I setup the tool heights for my automatic tool changer / ATC spindle. This works for the HITECO QD-1F, CNC Depot S30 / S30C spindle, or really any other ATC spindle that you might be using. It works in Mach 4 with Avid CNC, but the screen set is generic enough that it should work fine with any CNC machine running Mach 4. For consistently, I highly recommend the Edge Technology Tool Offset Gauge:edgetechnologyproducts.com/pro-touch-off-gage-04-000(No affiliation - I just like it)Previously, I used to use a piece of paper as my "gauge block", and that did work, but isn't as precise. To use a piece of paper, you jog the machine down until you feel resistance when moving the paper under the bit. You can then hit the Tool Offset button after setting the offset height to be the paper thickness. You could also use a metal "feeler" gauge but at the risk of dulling your bit. The next step is to setup the post processor for Fusion 360 and/or Vectric VCarve: youtu.be/Zs_Uf7siOO4CNC Build Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbMbcTzG1Fcr_NdXjF9GHLV7ZoYsQV7JEp 1: What CNC To Buy - youtu.be/VsXiz4nxAGc Ep 2: Welded CNC Table - youtu.be/0h0Cra8IHaYEp 3: Making an Avid CNC Precise: youtu.be/iuii8j_ln1gEp 4: How to Tram a CNC: youtu.be/wP0vGhGectgEp 5: Automatic Tool Changer: youtu.be/Idkxx6mDVUoEp 6: ATC Tool Rack Build - youtu.be/ofZPG8ICE_QEp 7: ATC Setup in Mach 4 - youtu.be/4q5K2tRYKoEEp 8: ATC Tool Heights - youtu.be/JNwBuiza2VUEp 9: ATC Post Processor Setup - youtu.be/Zs_Uf7siOO4Ep 10: 3D Printed Dust Boot - youtu.be/lf1BBPod6NYEp 11: Improving the Avid CNC Table - youtu.be/kjERid1Kxp4 Ep 12: CNC Spoilboard - youtu.be/wUP99Vdxp3Ethanks!Corbin Dunncorbinstreehouse.com // Blogcorbinworkshop.com // Products, CNC Files - many free downloads
CNC Build Ep 7: Custom Mach 4 ATC Tool Station Setup! Setting up ATC Tool Pockets / Tool Forks /S30C Corbin Dunn 2023-05-19 | Hey CNC Woodworkers! This is my custom Mach 4 Screen Set and code to make setting up an Automatic Tool Changer super easy in Mach 4, with no macro editing required. The hard part about setting up an ATC is finding the "tool station positions", also known as "tool pockets" or "tool forks". The User Interface I added makes it a lot easier to do this process. I walk through how to download and install the screen set. Then I go into setting up the Input and Output pin mappings in Mach 4 for my Avid CNC and ATC spindle. I'm using a HITECO QD-1F spindle from CNC Depot, but their popular S30 and S30C ATC spindle will also work fine with this screen set. In fact, any ATC spindle will work with it; the only difference may be what pins are actually controlling the relays. The code is fairly generic, and will probably work with any Mach 4 CNC machine, but I am using an Avid CNC and requires their release of Mach 4 (it has some things I build upon). Once you setup all the pocket positions, you can use any screen set you want, as long as you still use my custom Macros for doing the Tool Change. This screen set is fairly specific to a spindle-based CNC machine; I removed a lot of things related to a torch machine (plasma table CNC) and the laser. The screen set is open source and free. I make no warranty on it working...use at your own risk! EDIT: for the slide distance, you will also want to ensure your largest diameter bit will clear the tool fork, not just the collet! My largest is 2", which is about the diameter of the collet.

CNC Build Ep 6: Automatic Tool Changer Rack / Tool Stations - DIY Wood ATC Tool Rack for Cheap Corbin Dunn 2023-05-10 | Hey CNC Woodworkers!This is how I made my ATC Tool Rack for my Automatic Tool Changer spindle on my Avid CNC. It's made out of wood, using stock I milled from downed trees, so it was "free". I cover considerations on where to place the tool rack on the CNC machine, including how to orient the tool holder or tool fork, depending on how you are using a dust shoe for dust collection (ie: a slim dust boot to fit over the rack versus docking or moving the dust boot aside). I talk about 3D printing a tool pocket rack, and why I didn't go that route. Finally, I show how I machined the rack out of wood, so you can follow along and make your own! I am using an Avid CNC, but you could easily use this same design on any other regular DIY wood CNC machine. This design works well for all ATC spindles: CNC Depot's S30 / S30C, HITECO QD-1F, and other import spindles.Tool Rack CAD / STL Files (Free download):corbinsworkshop.com/shop/digital-file-cnc-atc-tool-rack-automatic-tool-changer-rack3D Printable Slim Dust Boot (Free download, v2): corbinsworkshop.com/shop/cnc-dust-shoe-v2-stls-and-fusion-360-parametric-design-for-3d-printing (and the build video: youtu.be/lf1BBPod6NY )3D Print / Printable Holder (Free download):corbinsworkshop.com/shop/digital-file-3d-printed-tool-station-tool-fork-holderPre-made Slim Dust Boots:etsy.com/shop/OneGuyInAShopPre-made steel tool rack:abshercnc.com/productsAmazon Tool Forks: amzn.to/3NVTzO1CNC Depot Tool Forks: cncdepot.net/product-page/iso30-delrin-tool-forkCNC Build Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbMbcTzG1Fcr_NdXjF9GHLV7ZoYsQV7JEp 1: What CNC To Buy - youtu.be/VsXiz4nxAGc Ep 2: Welded CNC Table - youtu.be/0h0Cra8IHaYEp 3: Making an Avid CNC Precise: youtu.be/iuii8j_ln1gEp 4: How to Tram a CNC: youtu.be/wP0vGhGectgEp 5: Automatic Tool Changer: youtu.be/Idkxx6mDVUoEp 6: ATC Tool Rack Build - youtu.be/ofZPG8ICE_QEp 7: ATC Setup in Mach 4 - youtu.be/4q5K2tRYKoEEp 8: ATC Tool Heights - youtu.be/JNwBuiza2VUEp 9: ATC Post Processor Setup - youtu.be/Zs_Uf7siOO4Ep 10: 3D Printed Dust Boot - youtu.be/lf1BBPod6NYEp 11: Improving the Avid CNC Table - youtu.be/kjERid1Kxp4 Ep 12: CNC Spoilboard - youtu.be/wUP99Vdxp3EThanks everyone!Corbin Dunncorbinstreehouse.com // Blogcorbinsworkshop.com // CNC File Downloads and Products Chapters:0:00 Intro0:25 Where To Put It?1:45 Dust Boot Considerations4:21 Tool Length Considerations5:58 3D Printed Options6:20 Wood Rack Build9:28 Conclusion#cncwoodworking #woodworking #cnc
CNC Build Ep 5: How to Setup an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) on an Avid CNC - S30C or HITECO spindle Corbin Dunn 2023-05-02 | Hey CNC Woodworkers! Corbin Dunn here and I'm discussing my Automatic Tool Changer, or ATC for my Avid CNC machine. I'll talk about some spindle options and what I got. Then I'll talk about the air compressor setup, which is required for tool changes. Next I'll cover my pneumatic setup and go over the diagram on how I did it. Finally I'll discuss what wires go where in the Avid Control Box. Chapters are located down below if you want to skip to a particular area.Overall, I'm discussing the HITECO QD-1F ATC Spindle, and the CNC Depot S30C -- or the basic S30, but most people use the S30C for woodworking. Update Nov 2023: CNC Depot has a lot more ATC spindle options; check out their site: cncdepot.netI also have word that their spindles can have Case Pressurization on a relay with 30 psi, which is great!

CNC Build Ep 4: How to Tram a CNC - Cheap and Accurate! About $60 in tools to align the spindle Corbin Dunn 2023-04-28 | Hey CNC Woodworkers! This video is how to tram a CNC machine, in particular how to tram the Avid CNC router machine. This is the most accurate and cheapest way to do it, and involves about a $50 dial indicator along with a piece of glass (cheap $10) or granite surface plate (more expensive, ~$100). So for around $50-$60 you get get a lot more precision in your cuts! If you are looking for how to tram your CNC router, then look no further! This is also known as aligning the Z-axis on a CNC.I don't have fluff in the video; I cover what you need, why we do it, and how to do it. I use basic machinist techniques to tram the router for accurate cuts. I'm using an Avid CNC, but this is applicable to any CNC machine. It works if you are using a spindle or if you are using a router. I am trying to accurately align the spindle and do it with some of the most basic machining tools that I already had: a dial indicator and a granite surface plate. This is one of the most in-expensive ways to do it, but also the most accurate!In the video I keep calling it a "dial test indicator", but this is just a regular "dial indicator". A dial test indicator is a slightly different tool, which could also be used in a similar way. I use a small granite plate, which is very flat. Alternatively you can use a piece of glass, such as some replacement picture frame glass from Home Depot or Lowes. Glass is fairly flat and smooth for dragging the dial indicator along the surface. I also tested a piece of melamine, but it was not accurate enough.Tools used:* Dial Indicators (Amazon): amzn.to/3Aoa7Gq* Granite Surface Plate (Amazon): amzn.to/3mWZLdG* Thickness Feeler Gauge: amzn.to/3LnY9mI*** I also recommend searching on MSC (formerly ENCO) for these products: mscdirect.com ****Be sure to get a dial indicator with a magnetic base, or purchase a magnetic base separately.Materials:* Shims for the spindle: amzn.to/40wkuCP* Or use aluminum foil, or aluminum foil tape (available at Home Depot or Lowes in the HVAC section)* Paper / Blue tape -- shims for the granite surface plate.Also read Avid CNC's directions to check the tramming results: avidcnc.com/support/instructions/machineSetup/levelingSquaringAndTramming/#spindlerouter-tramming* Optional: Edge Tech Pro Tram System: edgetechnologyproducts.com/pro-tram-system-01-000-09-000The Edge Tech system is essentially two dial indicators so you don't have to sweep them back and forth. This makes it even easier to tram in the head of a machine. However, I have a hard time paying for a single-use tool that is only useful for tramming, when I can use the more versatile and cheaper dial indicator.CNC Build Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbMbcTzG1Fcr_NdXjF9GHLV7ZoYsQV7JEp 1: What CNC To Buy - youtu.be/VsXiz4nxAGc Ep 2: Welded CNC Table - youtu.be/0h0Cra8IHaYEp 3: Making an Avid CNC Precise: youtu.be/iuii8j_ln1gEp 4: How to Tram a CNC: youtu.be/wP0vGhGectgEp 5: Automatic Tool Changer: youtu.be/Idkxx6mDVUoEp 6: ATC Tool Rack Build - youtu.be/ofZPG8ICE_QEp 7: ATC Setup in Mach 4 - youtu.be/4q5K2tRYKoEEp 8: ATC Tool Heights - youtu.be/JNwBuiza2VUEp 9: ATC Post Processor Setup - youtu.be/Zs_Uf7siOO4Ep 10: 3D Printed Dust Boot - youtu.be/lf1BBPod6NYEp 11: Improving the Avid CNC Table - youtu.be/kjERid1Kxp4 Ep 12: CNC Spoilboard - youtu.be/wUP99Vdxp3EThanks everyone!Corbin Dunncorbinsworkshop.com // CNC Files (many free) and productscorbinstreehouse.com // BlogChapters / Timestamps:0:00 Intro0:08 Tools needed1:34 Step 1 - Level Surface2:47 Step 2a - Prepare for Tramming4:07 Step 2b - Tram the Y4:58 Step 2c - Tram the X5:16 Bonus - Squareness5:54 ConclusionDisclaimer: Some links are Amazon affiliate links....feel free to use them or not use them.

CNC Build Ep 2: How to Weld a CNC Base Table - For Better Cuts and Less Chatter! For my Avid CNC Corbin Dunn 2023-04-15 | Hey CNC woodworkers! This is part 2 of my Avid CNC Build series. In the previous episode I talked about why I bought an Avid CNC. In this video I will discuss how I made my own steel base table to get a more stable machine. I walk through the decisions I made, how I designed the table, how I welded the table together, and how the machine attaches to the table. Welding my own table took a lot of time and effort. I'm not a fast or proficient TIG welder, so it probably took me a lot longer than it would someone else. It took me a week to get it all done...but I worked on it off and on, and was a bit sick at the time. If I were to do it again, I would probably just MIG welded it all together, as that would have saved me a lot of time. I encourage you to copy my design, or use it as a base for making something better! Download the model in Fusion 360 using the link below. My table is for a 4'x8' Avid Pro CNC, but the materials listed below would provide enough for a 4'x10' machine (maybe a 5' machine...but I'm not sure).CNC Build Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbMbcTzG1Fcr_NdXjF9GHLV7ZoYsQV7JEp 1: What CNC To Buy - youtu.be/VsXiz4nxAGc Ep 2: Welded CNC Table - youtu.be/0h0Cra8IHaYEp 3: Making an Avid CNC Precise: youtu.be/iuii8j_ln1gEp 4: How to Tram a CNC: youtu.be/wP0vGhGectgEp 5: Automatic Tool Changer: youtu.be/Idkxx6mDVUoEp 6: ATC Tool Rack Build - youtu.be/ofZPG8ICE_QEp 7: ATC Setup in Mach 4 - youtu.be/4q5K2tRYKoEEp 8: ATC Tool Heights - youtu.be/JNwBuiza2VUEp 9: ATC Post Processor Setup - youtu.be/Zs_Uf7siOO4Ep 10: 3D Printed Dust Boot - youtu.be/lf1BBPod6NYEp 11: Improving the Avid CNC Table - youtu.be/kjERid1Kxp4 Ep 12: CNC Spoilboard - youtu.be/wUP99Vdxp3EFusion 360 table model: a360.co/3mDhE0M (free download)Materials:M8 roll in T-nuts: amzn.to/3KZmgaWM8 bolt set: amzn.to/3L1BxrN6 - Corner Brackets: amzn.to/3KyvF826 - feet: mcmaster.com/catalog/129/1661/2531K391 - 20’ 4x4x1/4 steel tubing2 - 20’ 4x2x1/4 steel tubing (or use 4x4)Tools: Machinist level: amzn.to/3GMLE1b (~$130)Note on the feet: I said 3/8-16 threaded feet in the video, but I really used these 1/2"-13 threaded feet. Each foot can support 5,000 pounds and only costs $9.07. There are a lot of other options out there, but these had a really heigh strength to cost ratio (cheap for the strength). The swivel is nice for non-level floors. I did find some cheaper ones for around $5 that supported 500 pounds per foot; they probably would have been fine, but I just wasn't sure, so I opted for the $9 ones.I wish I would have known about the corner brackets before I did my design. I bolted into the bottom of the extrusions, which was difficult. The 4" width steel tubing would have more than enough room to use the corner brackets for attaching the table to the lengthwise members on the top.The machinist level is accurate to .0002" per 10" of length. So, if I did it right, my entire table should be within .002" of level over the entire 10' length.Note that the width of the welded table needs to be a tad thinner than the aluminum table so the gears don't hit anything.

CNC Build Ep 1: What is the Best CNC For You? Why I bought Avid CNC vs Phantom, Laguna, Shop Sabre Corbin Dunn 2023-04-08 | I bought an Avid CNC - the 4896 Pro with a full 4' by 8' table. I spent over $20,000 buying this machine, and I still had to build it myself! Why did I choose this CNC router over Phantom CNC, Laguna Swift, Grizzly, Shop Sabre, Baileigh, Camaster Stringer III, Legacy Maverick, Grizzly G0895, or a Tormach 24R. I looked at them all, and these are the reasons why I went with Avid. The bottom line: it comes down to what I want to do, and the price. If you are considering a new CNC machine, the first one for beginners, a big one for more advanced operations, or production work, then watch this video to get some of my opinions on why I purchased what I did. What is important to me may not be important to you, so carefully consider all your options! This video is geared towards DIY, creative artists, and genuine woodworkers. If you are just cutting 2D shapes on plywood..then still watch it, as I have some ideas for you so you don't buy the wrong CNC!One specific thing I forgot to mention in the video: I was targeting a machine with a 4'x8' cutting area. I want the ability to cut a full sheet of plywood - but this has some caveats, which you may realize when you see how I setup my machine.

I did think about Stepcraft, as I could have bought a 4x8 machine for around the same price as my Avid, but I thought I could build something better (more powerful Nema 34 vs Stepcraft's Nema 23 and 3hp max ATC spindle). Stepcrafts ball screws are more appealing for accuracy, which is also really important to me. I could go into so many more details about other things I considered: servo vs stepper motors, motor size, drive details, rack and pinion, helical gears, belt driven vs gear driven -- there are so many things to consider.

CNC Woodworking - Wood Spoon with Curved Wood Inlay - (Files Available) Making a CNC Project Corbin Dunn 2023-03-08 | Hi everyone! I decided to make a spoon that matches the wood spatula I designed and made on my CNC machine. The spoon itself is a great beginner two-sided carving project that just about anyone can do with their CNC router. If you want to try to make it, go get the Vectric VCarve file and model from below:* Spoon Files on Etsy: http://bit.ly/3ZH8gau* Spoon Files on Corbin's Workshop: http://bit.ly/3mzifjN* Other (some free) CNC Files: bit.ly/3IZYycC* Spatula CNC Files on Etsy: bit.ly/3LoPEZ5* Spatula video: youtube.com/watch?v=L0utopXNmHg* Salad Set Video: youtu.be/LASK9fiMWMsUpdate: Please watch my latest video for some of my newest techniques on making these: youtu.be/LASK9fiMWMsI did all the hard work of setting up the file to be carved right, but you'll have to setup the feeds and speeds for your machine.In this video I walk through all the steps I go through to make the spoon, but my directions go into even more detail. This is a great tutorial and introduction into two-sided machining (2 sided carving). Doing the CNC wood inlay isn't too hard, but it may take some practice to get it just right. I'd recommend isolating the rose inlay and attempting it on a separate piece before doing it on the spoon itself. It took me a good four or five DIY tries before I finally figured out how to do it. The trick was realizing how the Vcarving parameters worked, and how to change parameters based on what I saw. I may eventually make a video on doing that to help people find the perfect vcarving settings.Related:* Wood Spatula Video: youtu.be/L0utopXNmHg* Other CNC Projects/Plans/Files: bit.ly/3IZYycCNote that I use my Tormach PCNC 1100 - this machine is better suited at cutting metal, and the maximum spinning it does is 5140 RPM, which is pretty low for woodworking. You will need to change the feeds and speeds to be more appropriate for whatever CNC Router you are using (Avid, Tormach 24R, Bob's, etc). I'm hoping this project will give you some good CNC project ideas!Let me know what you think! Subscribe, like and comment - it encourages me to make more videos.

Wood Spatula on a CNC & curved wood inlay - FILE AVAILABLE - Projected VCarving w Vectric VCarve Corbin Dunn 2023-01-26 | Hey CNC woodworkers! Update: this video is a bit dated, and I've improved my techniques. Pleas also watch this more recent video making a salad set: youtu.be/LASK9fiMWMs ---- I've been working on some wood utensil designs, and one of the first things I tackled was this wood spatula. The files are available for you to make it on your CNC: directions, the model, and the Vectric VCarve file all setup with the toolpaths that I used. I also include the STL file for people who do not use VCarve, however, the inlay will be difficult to do. Purchase the files:* Spatula Plans at Etsy: http://bit.ly/3LoPEZ5* Spatula Plans at Corbin's Workshop: http://bit.ly/3ZBDVKL* NEW: CNC Spoon Plans at Etsy: http://bit.ly/3ZH8gau* Salad Set Video: youtu.be/LASK9fiMWMs* Free CNC Files (Fusion 360) at Corbin's Workshop: http://bit.ly/3IZYycCIf you like this project, then check out my matching spoon!: youtube.com/watch?v=X8ydj9g1BQUThis spatula was tricky to make. I went through a few prototypes to get everything nailed down on the basic shape. Originally I attempted to make it out of a 3/4" piece of wood, but that was turning out too flat. So I had to carve it out of a larger 1-1/4" piece to get the proper angles. The inlay was also tricky; I broke my main v-bit and had to take a break for a few months. Eventually I figured out the right details on how to get the inlay to set without any gaps. I've seen a lot of videos on wood inlays, particularly on the theory, but not how to correct issues, as theory doesn't always transfer into reality. Some day I will make a video on how to figure out inlay parameters.I made this spatula on my Tormach PCNC 1100, so the feeds and speeds are rather slow due to the max RPM of 5140. I'm working on building a new dedicated wood machine, and I'm hoping it will chew through wood a bit faster.Let me know what you think!

Heart Box - CNC Woodworking - Making an epoxy and wood box with a CNC router Corbin Dunn 2023-01-14 | Hey CNC woodworkers! I decided to extend upon my heart bowl concept and turn it into a box. I started from scratch on a new design using Fusion 360, and came up with this more curvy and organic looking shape. I created my signature epoxy line through the middle of it, and synced it up so it all looked awesome as a jewelry box. I'm pretty happy how it turned out, but I definitely had a few stumbling blocks along the way. This box involves multiple setups to accurately align the pieces for my two sided machining operations using a CNC router. I'm using a Tormach PCNC 1100, but this type of thing can probably be done on any good CNC router. I show two boxes that I made: both out of hardwood cherry, one with bora bora blue tinted resin/epoxy, and the other with purple epoxy.You can now get a copy of my "heart bowl" design and make one for yourself! I include the Fusion 360 CAD file, with my CAM tool paths, and all the design history. But best of all is a complete set of directions on all the steps I take to make the bowl; I spent days working on this document! The bowl is an easier project than this box; comment below if you want to have me release the box plans!

Heart Bowl Packaging - Simple CNC Packaging for custom CNC Woodworking Corbin Dunn 2022-12-01 | The heart bowl packaging! I am hoping to inspire other woodworkers to up the ante and make custom packaging for their three dimensional products. I machined simple 1" hard foam board insulation into some good looking packaging for my wooden CNC'ed heart bowls. Here's the basic process on how I do it. I'm happy to share tips on the settings I use in Fusion 360; comment below with your question! One thing I do is to set the "stock left" to a negative amount in order to make the machined area a little bigger. If you aren't familiar with Blender, I can send you my blender file to use as a basis for creating your own form mold shapes. They can be re-imported into Fusion 360 to do a cut merge with a basic block size in order to create the final shape to be machined. I'll be sharing the Fusion 360 file pretty soon for this heart bowl...so subscribe to figure out when it is available and make your own.Notes: CNC: Tormach PCNC 1100Saw Stop TablesawHome Depot foam3/8" up cut bit1/4" ball nose bit90 degree V bit for engraving the textThis would work great for any CNC router...Corbin Dunn form Corbin's Workshopcorbinsworkshop.com // Products & Portfolio -- including the heart bowls seen in this video!

Epoxy Drip Bowl - CNC Woodworking #shorts #cncwoodworking #cnc Corbin Dunn 2022-10-28 | Hey CNC woodworkers! This is a remix of some of my older work for the YouTube shorts! I have a full video on making these epoxy drip bowls over at: youtu.be/Y_Ubjk9ide8 -- check it out! The description below is copied from the other video:--------These are the Epoxy Drip Bowls! This cherry wood bowl an evolution from my last one called the Ink and Oak bowl; check out the related video to see that original design. For these bowls, I wanted to control the shapes that would come through the epoxy. I milled out some glued up cherry to create a 3d bumpy texture - sort of like random little hillsides. I poured epoxy on top and milled out the bowl. These came out fabulous! I’m releasing this video a little early, as it is a gateway video to the next project for mother’s day.
