CNC Basics - Make Your First Cut

Hi how do I create the box do I rh double click on The mouse to move the square

Hi there, i still found parts of this confusing and not explained. E.g where did you put that tool set puck? The video didn't show where you placed it. Where does it need to be? When the cnc bit touches the puck, l where is it setting the origin? Onnthe surface of the puck in the centre of the puck? Or the base of the puck? Does it subtract the height of the puck? So confused. Is the puck just for z-axis height?

Great video I have just started work on this machine question I don't think my machine has tool set button on it. ..

Great video that encourages newbies, like me. 🙂👍🏾

Great simple presentation, much appreciated. I purchased a CNC a couple of months and was somewhat intimidated by it.
Because of your video I intend to make a start tomorrow,Thank you for inspiring me Jason
Regards,
Paul

Thankbyou Jason exactly the video i heen looking for...

i has fighting many day try understand how i use this tool height system to my new DIY linuxcnc machine but not understand how make button to display and then how make makro or subfile and were, make this tool height measure and zeroing, and then go to workpiece corner can start right height Z my first pocket carving/milling to wood.

Vcarve pro have good software but only problem have, too expensive DIY machine hobby user, i need 40"x40" size my table but Vcarve not support thats only ower expensive version can use full my machine, and have totally out off hobby user budget, need be less than 100$ can buy this.

Thanks so much brother.

Hello thx for the video
I wanted to contact you but couldn't find your account on Instagram

Would you mind sharing how you saved the preposition reference points on the controller?

Thank you; thank you; thank you.

what machine is this?

Millimeters to measure the piece of material and then inches to measure the end mill ok interesting ? Oiiiii I don't want your life for one second, you better stick to metric and then measure EVERYTHING in metric, throwing in imperial when you measure mill bits ? Oi ! Only 3 countries left who use imperial that is you and Myanmar and one more ..... guess it is time to throw out that stupid imperial way of measuring huh ? Buttttttt for a yank I have to say ... you are on the right way ! You already start thinking metric good job !

I am a fan of both Mark Lindsay and Garrett Fromme. They don't teach specific machines as you are doing; but, teach the Vectric software IN DETAIL. Without the CAD/CAM software the CNC is an expensive paper weight.

We ordered the next wave shark sd110 cnc , looking forward to creating with it

So about them cnc bits….

EXXXXCELLLENT TYVM BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN TY AGAIN

I am so glad you made this video, I just purchased a machine and you have lifted my confidence to get started!!!

I want to get into it. Have no experience. Which cnc would you recommend

Honestly I've been really apprehensive about buying a cnc due to trying to learn it. Now not so much. This is the best video I ever seen

I have been cutting MoP inlays for headstock and fretboards by hand. My inlays are tiny...50mm wide x 2mm thick. I would like to start using a CNC: can you recommend an appropriate machine?

Dumb question: do you copy the G-code to a USB then transfer the code the controller keyboard via the USB?

"If you're somebody who got a cnc or has made your own and has no idea where to start" you are my type of people 🤗

Im building my own, just purchased all the metal, no idea if i can do it... but i somehow know i'll succeed, if not by dumb luck.

Well. I think I have learned . Having a hard time getting started. Vwrt first time

What cnc are you using?

Hi. I hope your still looking at comments. I’ve only just started exploring the why’s and wherefores of cnc wood working. My first question: I have an old laptop with windows XP. Will the program’s needed (I believe there are at least 3) to design, code and operate a CNC machine run on my this laptop?

help I made a good 3 axis cnc mill/router, it has a mach3 usb interface, i can manually jog it with mach3. what free design/drawing program can i use and then convert to gcode for mach3 to run the machine? only want 2.5 axis to cut simple parts cutting or up and not cutting. example a 5cmx5cm square with rounded corners with a 3mm hole in each corner.

Awesome video man, thanks.

Hi, I think we cannot see the pop-up windows because when doing the record, you probably selected a specific window or app instead of recording the entire desktop. You can "fix" this by recording a selected area. Before starting the recording, ensure no pop-up will appear in the middle of the session 😁.
Regarding CNC, I would like to buy one machine to cut "big" laminated MDF boards, like 4x8. Do you have any recommendations? This is the most challenging part for someone without experience in CNC. For sure, I'll find from 5k to 30ks, right?

hello i have a cnc and i am using it to build cabinets. i designed a kitchen on a program generated a g code but the machine is only working in a very small section in a corner. it thinks its moving around the whole table but its not. ever run into a problem like that?

Man O Man, you covered some of the basic starting areas that I struggle to find help with. I am so grateful you decided to make this video. I’ve been holding off on purchasing a CNC machine due to not knowing what you just covered. again thank you so much.

Thx great learning curve

Do you have an online class?

Am very excited to see this video. I have a cnc machine in my office but av never thought of getting close to know how it works. I would get involved straight. Lot of thanks

Lovely

Hi. Found this video very helpful. Thank you. Do you have any other videos for the axiom? It is the same machine I just bought

I bought a CNC Machine and have been sitting inside for more than one year. because complicated. Entertaining video.

I have a pro am not perfect with it by any means. That being said try this. Put your puck under bit press menu on/off. I also screwed down 3/4 press board to my work table. Leveled it with 1-1/4 bit there is a program for that. I did that so when I cut through a project I didn't cut work table and I screw down projects.

This Is exacly what Im thinking about. All those videos on YT that says for "absolute beginners". Fu*k them I didn´t understand a thing. Yours was awesome.

How did you figure out the setup that the wood was laying on?
Did you run a cnc program and design slates or what formula did you follow

Jason, I like the spoilboard on your video, can you provide details of that particular setup? Thanks!

This was great thank you. I have been hesitant to start but always found it fascinating and scary at the same time.

Ironic...you, actually "brushed over" something I was watching this video for...

Love this thanks for this simple but great
is there any good free software to start off with or is the v carve trial any good?

Thanks again

Thanks so much for making this video! I have been watching CNC videos for the past week and this one has been the most helpful. Thanks for getting me started!

Nice video, man, thanks. There is small problem for me- I don'h have a "set tool" buton on my remote control :)

Great video...

Hi Bent's...Very good video, well explained. But I have a question I bought a cnc from ebay is 3018 cnc engraving machine. This software is compatible for this mini-engraving machine. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Outstanding! I felt exactly as you said. They skip over the ultra basics. Thank you!
