Day 5 of the 5x12 @AvidCNC CNC build.
https://www.avidcnc.com/
I have some fun projects upcoming. In no particular order: chicken coop, small production run of CNC-made hand tool workbenches (oh the irony..), various storage solutions for the apartment and shop.

Yeah, bumper.
Problem.
They have bumpers on both sides.
There's three turns.
Okay.
Three control-control-control-control-control.
Okay.
There is.
Yeah.
Okay, so one, two, three full turns.
Three full rotations.
And this is going to be Y.
Y.
That's right.
Technically speaking, day five is actually a combination of a couple days.
A lot of stuff was going on but I felt like this was enough of actual work to
be considered one day. Greg from STL Woodworking stopped by, him and his wife,
good friend of ours, and he's the guy who got my last CNC machine so I figured
you know what you're driving through town I'm gonna put you to work and turn
some wrenches just because you didn't have to build one of these things.
There's so many so many nuts and bolts but then again you know all that is
front-loaded work for the life of the CNC machine never has to be done again
unless you of course modify it and whatnot. This was all basically spindle
and cable management. After this video we're gonna take a brief detour to some
material resources to gather some materials basically and then on day six
of this build we're going to continue with the big list of little tasks.
