In this episode I go over some of the initial setup errors I made to hopefully save new Crossfire owners or potential owners some time.
We make some simple parts and assemble them to make a TIG welding rod holder. The main goal of this project was to see how close of a tolerance the Langmuir Crossfire CNC Plasma Cutter can hold.
Super excited to make far more complicated parts in the very near future!

3D printing has become much cheaper and accessible, but there has been a lack of decent CNC routers at the same price point. Now the 3018 CNC Pro from Sainsmart aims to fill that void.
Featuring a working volume of 300 x 180 x 45mm, this CNC router goes together well and is capable of machining timber, acrylic and aluminium. It can also engrave copper to make custom PCBs. This machine largely succeeded with everything I threw at it. For this low price plus a one year warranty, I am very impressed and recommend this for beginners looking to get into the hobby.
I have done a fair bit of CNC machining over the years by am by no means a professional machinist. I look forward to the great tips knowledgeable viewers will post in the comments to assist others.
For any cutters you buy, ensure they are 1/8 inch or 3.175mm in shank diameter.
UPDATE: I have a follow up video upgrading this machine. https://youtu.be/Q4TrzshXV10

On this episode of Make It Kustom, I walk you through drawing a part in AutoCAD to CNC plasma cutting the part. This is meant to be a introduction to the process rather than a complete tutorial. Anyone can benefit from these basics and turn their napkin sketch into a finished part!

This video is for the Concord Kids – a group of 5th grade students studying STEM! And, of course, it’s for anyone to serve as a basic beginners guide to a manual milling machine (Bridgeport) and a computer controlled CNC Milling machine (Tormach PCNC 1100)!
Curious how we film? http://bit.ly/2q8MfoV
Their teacher, Dan, email saying a video on milling basics would really help the kids understand some of the work they are studying. I love helping kids and would encourage everyone to reach out to any number of local programs – STEM, FIRST Robotics – anything to help increase interest and passion for engineering in our youth!
