CNC Spoilboard v2

After my automatic tool changer upgrade for the CNC router, I needed a new spoilboard, because the current one is too long. Instead of just cutting it shorter I wanted to make a better one with new features that also fixes some problems I had before. The result is my CNC spoilboard v2.

Interested in the bits I used for this project?

I gave up on metal pins a while ago and changed to wooden dowels. They're easily strong and accurate enough for my work and I save a tonne of anxiety.

“Finally found the proper use for a slotted screw” - Hits it with a hammer…..
Totally Savage !
Love your work, Marius. Thanks for so many great and inspiring videos!
😊

I guess you have got your 6mm pins by now, but for the future, and for viewers, I have scrapped a few cheap inkjet and laser printers recently. It's amazing how little there is that's of much use, but there is ground shaft including 6mm. (I expected the laser printer to be much better than the inkjets... it was a real disappointment; very little that was not plastic!)
A while ago I was allowed to plunder a large commercial copier which had a stack of automatic document collating trays. It was past its use-by date, and being dismantled! What an absolute treasure trove! Loaded with stepper motors, up to NEMA 23, ground shafts, very precise and strong full-extension drawer slides, power supply, bearings & bushes, plugs, sockets, switches, sensors, and all of a quality to die for.
Worth keeping in mind. Thanks for another great video; they just keep getting better and better! :o)

You make everything seem so easy. I know it isn't and I'm very impressed by your knowledge in all those fields, to be able to do what you do. And not just do it, but do it perfectly. 👍😎

Marius, I have followed you from the day I found your channel. That has been quiet a while,
"I don't remember". I think you are a genius, the things you have done to your CNC machine
are unreal. Plus there is the quality of your normal project work, simply over the top. I LOVE
your channel.

"I finely found a proper use for a slotted screw" - OMG; that's perfect. Thanks Marius!

[jesperjohannesen]

Again great job Marius. Was Sie aus der kleinen Maschine rausgeholt, ist einfach erstaunlich.

[johnkennedyswenja]

Well you lucky young man. I know your ability to think things through is way up there, so can't wait to see projects you make that incorporate the CNC

[FloweringElbow]

Thanks for another good one boss! I've been considering various spoilboard clamping for a while. I have a layer of ply under mdf ATM, but it has a bit more flex than I would like between the steel rails of my DIY frame underneath. We may go similar to yours but with cast aluminium plates in the end... More umming and areing underway.

Beautiful functional again. Enjoyed that, thanks. Now only thing missing is some transparent protection guard from flying tool bits .

[MillertimeTV]

Great video that gives me ideas of how to redo my spoil board. I used 3/4" pvc but the holes are big and unsightly.

[breakinn]

Great job. Looking forward to see it used on new project builds.

[jon_raymond]

This was a great project. Thank you for sharing your journey and knowledge.

[tomim]

Marius, this is a fantastic series, even an old technophobe like me can understand what you are doing. Thanks for sharing.

[jimsvideos]

Very well done indeed, that crack about slot screws in particular.

[jessehays]

Beautiful execution on your machine! Id love to have one like it on my own sometime.

If you ever want ideas for spoilboard or worktable design upgrades or anything with the machine, Anderson CNC machines are a great idea to look at. I work with two of them, and they're awesome, reliable, and very easy to run. (I work almost exclusively with industrial cnc routers, so i can always provide a little bit of a pointer if you want upgrade ideas lol)

[audioleech]

Great video! You should remove the strips on the sides and surface them to thickness then put them back so that even the edges of your table stay flat when you surface it

[JPToto]

Well done as usual!! I'm really looking forward to seeing more about that operator station, too!

[erikcramer]

This is really cool, I'm sure ik not the only one if I would ask for a video of what happens in the background code wise with alligning making sure the passes match etc

You are very talented and do a lot of entertaining projects.
The comment about slotted screw heads was spot on. 😅
So I guess I will be back. Even if it’s way to much three carcasses and to little metal in your workshop for my preferred fix. 😉😁
