Been selling Industrial Tools for 42 years. All for Metalworking. You Woodworking Guys are a LOT more up to date than I ever knew.
Very cool...! 👍 I guess I need to go find some of you and sell some stuff. 🙂

I was wondering when the 245-K was going to make an appearance. The 947617-D ⅝×¾ square circular radial bit gets overused in my opinion

I like that you arent wasting much of the wood like you often see

[Upper_Decky]

For a second I thought you were going to be cutting an actual pumpkin lol

[msain]

I really appreciate that you tell us what product and size you are using

Pro tip: you cut & feed CW on the router table which is correct here, but you feed CCW with the CNC? Means you don’t understand proper machining principles. Also use air sweep to clear the slot of chips. So you don’t keep recutting them and the tool would stay sharper. Pay attention or pay cash.

Why are the tips anodized? Just curious. Was it done on purpose to make them look cool or does it offer a functional benefit? Or did something you cut with it anodize it and it just looks like that since?

Cut height is referred as LOC, length of cut 👌

What do u do with all the things u make in these videos? Like are they for buissnesses that order these wood designs and stuff for their signs and stuff or is it for a regular person and personal orders or is it just for the video then u sell them somewhere to whoever wants them?

If you made that tray with a handheld router then you would have impressed me and respected your work.

So when is the ACTUAL pumpkin carving CNC router video coming?

[hanshart]

Why bandsaw the drop off? The router was sufficient. Eliminate extra processes!

[heltonrolobcv]

Is that second blade you used to cut like the sawstop?

This bowl is absolutely stunning 🤩 my jaw dropped when I saw this. Absolutely beautiful.

[Anthraxallergy]

I like that tool changer, Who makes those. Not sure if it’s works for shopbot though

[bats__]

Is that CNC router available in the UK?

[easttexaspatriotsunitedsta]

So that's what happened to that nice piece of walnut...

This is a nice project, but I'd rather watch someone actually carve it. CNC is a great tool, but we are losing a lot of skills using them.
