Just wondering why you used a drill instead of cutting the holes with the CNC?

Just asking; You have a fully functioning cnc yet you still drill holes the old fashioned way, and make clamps the hard way. Why not cut them out with your machine? The first thing I did once my machine was operational was to machine its own waistboard. now it will machine its own clamps.

Well done! I am getting ideas for my first CNC and will be building a support base first. Thanks for the clamping design. I'll think I'll go with that. Thank you for making the video!

Thanks man. Glad i can help! In the future i plan further updates on the machine, including making it out of aluminum extruded profiles instead of wood. Subscribe and stay tuned ;)

Nice work. Actually I did something similar with my old CNC using t-nuts and I know it's a good and cheap system. But now as I have sold my machine when I moved, i am looking to build a new larger one and as I watch your video, I did remark the simplicity of your build. Would you share some of the details/specs of the machine as the size of the machine, specs of the rail system and lead screws. Maybe a closer look. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Yes. Actually you are never done once you start a machine like that, you are never done. My plan is to swap from wood to aluminum profiles as soon as i can. The machine works just fine like this, but i want it more sturdy and professional looking.

I am also redesigning my cnc machine to grow it from 3' x 1' table to 8' x 4' and adding 5" of z height.. My redesign is not going very fast, so your video will probably ready when I need it. Thanks

Just saw this video and enjoyed it. But what I really wanted to know more about is the X and Y lead screw drives on your CNC machine. I want to do something very similar. Could you make a video explaining how you did it. Thanks

Hi Kim. You can just look for trapezoidal lead screw on ebay or similar. They are good for the cost, but to get super precision you will need anti backlash nuts. In the future i plan on changing them to spherical leadscrews. If you are patient and can wait for the new year, i will be rebuilding the whole cnc with aluminium profiles and i will make a video of it. Thanks!

I wonder why did'nt you use the CNC to make the drills on the boards ? they could be more accurate and better looking and as it is clearly visible, there are no out of range ones. Placing a spacer below boards allowing a full through hole or better, milling the actual shape and depth of nuts. It is something really easy to do with an entry level cam program.

Hi. Thanks for asking. The accuracy that i can achieve by hand is fine for this kind of job. For the clamps i use it doesn't make a difference even if a hole is off by 1 cm. Also, there are a couple of things to consider: - for how my machine is built, i have to keep the bit at least 15 cm away from the side rails to avoid hitting the limit switch. - The pc and breakout board are not top notch and i have to cut fairly slow to avoid loosing steps in one of my 2 motors on the x axis, so i need to watch the cut and hit the emercency stop if something goes wrong. I've ordered a Mesa 5i25/7i76 combo to speed up the whole system.

Nice job on your cnc build. I am curious about the components you used. I.e. the rails, motors, ball screws, etc. would you be willing to share any of that info? Perhaps some purchase links? Thanks in advance.

To avoid the splintering of the backside of any board you drill, put some piece of sacrificial wood where the drill comes out. In this case, i would have stacked the two parts of the table as a sandwich, clamped it to the support fram that your machine already has, and let the machine do the drilling. I you use a cylndric router bit narrower than the hole you are going to make, you can even come out without the protective sacrificial layer. Any cam program would allow you to use the routing bits to create the holes you need. What you mention as a t-nut is called a drive-in-nut. A t-nut is the tyoe of fixation holding a screw in a t-slot rail. It has a (fat) T-shaped cross scetion. Milling the bodies of your holders out of a solid piece of wood on your CNC machine would also have been less work. But don't take this as a criticism, just an augmentation of your work.

HI! And thanks for your comment. Stacking the 2 layers one on top of the other would have been a good solution, as i would have been able to drill also the left and right corners that i would have never reached normally with the machine bit. Good idea :) Sometimes i just get so much in a hurry that i plan less and think less before doing. And this is a problem i'm trying to solve. As for machining the bodies, also true, but in this case i could use some left overs and waste less wood ;) For the tear out, i knew what to do, but i honestly don't really care for this particular application. About the T-nut, i think your naming is correct, and i'm prone to think it's right. Problem is the whole internet (wikipedia included) calls them t-nut and i just stuck to that.

Nice job. Any reason why not to use the cnc to do all the holes?

Thanks man! Not really. I just figured out that drilling holes in a matrix like that was pretty straight forward to just mark and drill, instead of firing up Fusion 360, drawing exporting and make the holes. Plus i don't think my CNC would have been faster than me doing it. I still have to improve it with a better breakout board, as if i push it to faster speeds, one of the X axis motors looses steps. Totally doable though.

I am not sure why you did not use your CNC machine to drill your holes. You have a nice machine that would have drilled those holes, without marking your wood, in a fraction of the time...silly me, thinking a CNC machine could do such an easy task!

Why not use the CNC to make the base board and the clamps?
@robertpyrosthenes1092

@Reuel T use some double faced tape to hold the first set. Or get some sticks (I like paint sticks) and drill two holes in them. One at center and one near the end. Put one 5mm bolt through the center into the base board and a nut under the hole at the end with a bolt upside down, so you can adjust it to keep the clamp at an angle. This is a toenail clamp.

Hi, thanks for your comment. I don't have anything but countersunk screws on the top surface. On the bottom surface, wherever i have t nuts in the same points where the board is laying on the structural square rods, i've used a forstner bit to sink them flush into the wood. Everything is perfectly flat ;) Now i need to improve the gantry and a new breakout board.

Hey, thanks for your comment. Yes i do. I actually used them in place of the nuts after the video and i explain it at 15'34". i just wanted to try something. I'm always in a hurry and the first idea that comes to my mind is not always the brightest :) If you disliked the video because you think i'm a dumbass for not using the t-nuts, i guess you can remove it.
