For DIY, this is amazing work!!!! I think everyone here demands a

I would love to see more about the construction or operation of this cnc. Thanks!

[DIYGuitarMods]

man, I come back and watch this every few weeks for inspiration. Can't wait to get an ATC spindle

[julianweiser]

That almost looks like a commercial machine! I'd have an idea: A bent piece of plexiglass connected to a spring that gets pushed away by the Y-Axis. The purpose being the protection of toolholders from shavings. Compressed air is sometimes not enough to guarantee clean surfaces.

Very nice! Would love to see some information on how you have made your vacuum plate and how it works.

This is a fantastic machine!! I would also like to know more about the details of your build as far as the spindle and pneumatics to operate the tool change. It would be great to also talk about your probe and what model it is, and the machine frame and gantry. You said you would create another video explaining more details. I anxiously await that video. Thank you very much. Great build!

Fantastic work. I definitely want to know more about this machine, like many people below. Could you also explain more about the atc spindle? Such as what components you need to get for the whole system to work (vfd, pneumatic components, etc). Thank you

Damn, I gotta build me one of these things. Outstanding work, even when compared to prebuilt stuff!

[lionxuser]

this is awesome! you should add a cover which opens when the machine moves back for the tool change.

[vibi]

Great Job. Can't wait for more building information and full part list with cost.

A thing of beauty & a joy to behold ! 😎👍☘️

Very Simple solution the rack with toolholders.

[danutz]

Awesome, yes, I also subscribe to the fact that we all want more info about your CNC, seems to be the best around. Thanks.

[jinchengwu]

Wow, this DIY CNC shocks me. Great job. Thank you. Look forward your next video about its details. I am also interested to see more information about how the frame structures was built.

[wernerberry]

Great machine you built! I would love to know more about how you do the repositioning with the g code on your work piece? Thanks for sharing!

[matteyles]

Awesome build, I would love to see some more detail on your choices of ball screws and linear rails

[sergionascimento]

Bom dia parabens pelo vídeo onde comprou esta placa de fixação do material??

[bruceconnally]

I too would like more details on your DIY CNC. Looks like an 8020 design support structure but can't see much else. Also the tool changer is a must for a machine of this size...which is?

[MikeZ]

Make a cover for your tools that automatically uncovers them when it changes tools - it’s bad to get debris on the tool taper or inside the spindle taper

[mattconn]

Very cool build I didn’t see an answer in the other comments, but I would love to know more about your automatic tool change and how it works.
