This video made assembling my 6050 so easy. I can't thank you enough!

[igster]

I can't wait for Sunday. Mine comes then and I'll be watching this again to put mine together. Thank you for taking the time!

[atbien]

I am about to take the plunge! And I have narrowed it down to this machine. I have watched many of your beginner videos and tutorials. Some twice. Your videos have played a big part in my decision. Thank so much for the excellent videos and the time it takes to produce them.

New to cnc, thank you so much, you saved me from throwing this machine out the window . Look forward to learning more, keep it up, you're the best !

I just got my 6050 Pro put together last night. Today...connecting computer and testing.

*Excellent build video James!* Just became a Patron! Now one more to add to my list of choices 🤪 I would love to see a comparison video for someone like me looking to step up to a bigger size. I have six machines on the list now.

[JC-igxy]

Fantastic video JD! Thank you very much.

[R_D]

Great machine! This is more like it!
@13:24 Top-Tip; Don't use a Philips nr.1 screwdriver in a nr.2 bolt!! Use the correct size, that way you won't destroy the bolt head, and have stupid problems even before you turn it on!

I miss your 3018 training and update. I don't have any room for something as big as that and can't afford it. But keep up the good work and all the best.

James, Love your tutorials. The most significant is the "Easily pause, restart or recover your CNC job". I needed it several times.
I purchased the PROVerXL 6050 Plus along with the monthly subscription of Carveco Maker. I am to the point where I can navigate pretty well. BUT one major show stopper I simply can not overcome which is Inlays. I watched every tutorial I can find, tried numerous variations such as reclassifying the bit, depths, offsets.... you name it. The problem is the inlays do not fit very well. Typically they engage only about half way at best. It seems like the more complex the inlay the less likely they fit. If I make simple carves like stars they fit fairly well.
I now suspect the fact that my CNC does not have closed loop motors it might be possible that it skips a step (or steps) without knowing it? My question to you is: Is there a way to verify if any step was skipped?. For example if a project requires 4, 551 steps and in the end there is somewhere in the program that shows the exact amount of steps when complete then it might explain the root cause. Had I known about closed loop CNC's I think I would have reached in my pocket a little deeper.

Quick question. The directions said the if I installed the rubber feet the router wouldn't be as stable so should I install them or not?

Still using the same 10mm axis screws from the 4030 Prover. Interested to see how the single Y axis holds up with all that weight. Silverback and Foxalien use 14/16mm on their 6060s.

[highlineR]

How did you set up the deepness of the engraving? Did I missed it? 🤔

[Chris-vcdh]

James, will this good looking CNC mahane with inlay in cutting boards, hard wood as well?

[CliffordMcgaughey]

hi, would the 6050 be a better choice for milling aluminium, I asked before about the 3030, the alloy parts are for RC trucks, etc, and don't have to be micron perfect + - .1 or .2 of a millimeter is ok. Would 6050 be a better choice over the 3030 I appreciate the advice and thank you

[gonzoribbons]

Hi James, do you still have the test file for download?

[JohnColgan.]

Great video, it's definitely a big beast. One trick ifound on my 4030 couplings was to separate the 2 segments & secure to the D shafts, then use the thumb wheel to turn & align the segments & slide into position.
Shame they put the Steppers on the back again. Don't get know how difficult to access when inside a sound box??

[wyikzqr]

Hey James, I bought this machine. I asked in another video how to flip the home position to left front. I can’t find the answer you gave me. So how do I do it and do I have to invert the x & y axis when I do that. Thx. Great video.

[science]

I’m a little worried. Installing the coupler on the lead screw and it seems to stick out a bit further than the one in your video. I’ve made sure both bearing are seated as much as possible. Hopefully they didn’t send me a lead screw that was too long?

[domi]

Hi! Thanks for the Video. Please compare it to the Foxalien Vasto. I am looking to buy a CNC this size for mostly Aluminium and Carbon Fiber milling and dont know which route to go. Thanks!
