You don't need a faster CNC machine... Improving my Workbee router production

I bought my CNC router in 2019 and it was a great first step into the world of machining. But my company grew and so did the new machines that came in. A VMC and CNC lathe, then the litte Ooznest workbee router looks petty. The accuracy was always great, but it's very slow. However, it only runs a couple of days a month. So why buy a faster router when you can run it more often?

Instead of buying the Ratrig Stronghold Pro, I improved a lot of steps in my process. I made a complete excel sheet with every step required until the first part was running. This was around 45 minutes and 8 minutes to reload a part. With all the improvements that were made, the Workbee only takes five minutes to get ready. The warm-up cycle is programmed in the code of the first part. Now I don't need another CNC router!

A really nice and refreshing video. People get so focused on individual machines and forget that it is a process.
Happy diaper changes to you.... but that time goes away too fast.

Good to see you innovating your production methods Alex. Great examples of time saving methods that make a real difference. Ciao, Marco.

Nice seeing a new video from you. Congratulations to the Baby. Modifying the old saying a bit: Babys eat Time for Breakfast ;-) (and Lunch and Dinner)
