CNCRT 56: CNC ANSWERS
CNC Router Tips Podcast Episode 56

Bill Griggs answers a listener's question, "When Should I Buy A CNC Router Table? Before or after I retire?" Should you Buy a CNC Router table while you are still gainfully employed or should you wait until after you have retired. The answer may surprise you.

New in the shop is the Pierson Workholding Mini Pallet System. Here is the description used on the Pierson Workholding website. "The Mini Pallet System (MPS) is designed for the startup machinist where less aggressive machining and smaller work envelopes are the norm. The system is still built with the same robust components found in our flagship Pro Pallet System but with a lower starting price and simplified design. Choose from two pallet sizes - 6" x 10" or 8" x 14".

What CNC Questions You Should Ask.

CAN YOUR REALLY CREATE A CNC SIDE HUSTLE?

Bill Griggs shares what he has been up to lately in the workshop and around town. From High School graduations to two weddings, Bill has been a busy man. But that hasn't stopped him from making some projects in the workshop.

Constructing a special CNC wedding project allowed us to experiment with some advanced Vectric Aspire 3D modeling tricks. We discuss how we used off the shelf clip art to create new, custom 3D objects and how wedding products might be a good basis for a side hustle.

With information from the new book from author Chris Guillebeau called Side Hustle From Idea To Income in 27 Days, Bill demonstrated how to apply the books principals to a CNC project.

For those that missed episode 52, Chris Guillebeau is an expert at starting multiple businesses with very little cash. In his New York Times Best seller " The $100 dollar Startup", Chris Chronicles the businesses of several bootstrap entrepreneurs who started successful businesses with very little capital.

CNC router can and are being used by thousands of people to build a CNC Side Hustle business.

We also celebrate reaching ten thousand members in the #CNC Router Tips Facebook group. With the growth of the group being so rapid we are noticing many frequently asked questions. So as a service to the group we are teaching how to utilize the search feature to find what you are looking for quickly and accurately.

CNC Router Tips Podcast Episode 50

CNCRT 50: CNCNUTZ WITH PETER PASSUELLO
CNC Youtube Content Creator

In this 50th episode of CNC Router Tips Podcast we talk with CNCNutz Peter Passello from Greymouth New Zealand. Peter is a CNC Youtube content creator and a very innovative inventor.

Bill Griggs celebrates his 50th episode by interviewing long time online friend Peter Passuello. We discuss the similarity of how we got into CNC even though we are half way around the world from each other.

Peter Passuello began his CNC Journey by building his first machine himself. He used locally available materials to substitute for hard to get parts. Being located on an island country makes getting parts expensive and difficult.

To celebrate our 50th episode of CNC Router Tips Podcast we are having a free Giveaway. If you would like a chance to win a CNC Router Tip ball cap go to http://cncroutertips.com/50

Why I Bought A Tormach CNC Milling Machine.

I just bought a Tormach CNC Milling machine. In this episode I discuss why I bought a Tormach CNC Milling Machine, what my thought process was and how I plan to use it to build my business.
The Tormach PCNC 1100 is a CNC milling machine with a 5100 RPM 1.5 HP spindle. It has a work envelope of 18" x 9.5" x 16.25" (X,Y,Z). It has a 34” x 9.5” table and weighs about 1300 pounds. My mill includes a power draw bar, automatic tool; changer and a full enclosure.
We also discuss some of the key systems you need to set in place before you start a small business. We discuss a new series of episodes which will tackle these topics.
