When I was offered the opportunity to beta test an upcoming robotic arm from Tormach, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. CNC chainsaws baybeeeeee. Aside from being fundamentally awesome, it is a very interesting software problem. Since I didn't have to build the arm I was able to focus the project and the video on the software challenges of making something like this work. Thank goodness I didn't have to build the arm because the software almost killed me. I can imagine all kinds of next steps for this creation like machining textures with the chainsaw or cutting topiaries. I hope you like it!

Hope you enjoy this robot as much as I do 🙂. A big thanks to everyone who helps to make these projects possible through their patreon support. If you'd like to help me make more projects like this (and get more behind the scenes content, an AWESOME discord, livestreams, etc) check out patreon.com/stuffmadehere

This channel is the epitome of "I could spend 2 weeks manually doing this, but I think I will spend 2 months automating it to showcase my brilliance."

2 tips for wood: 1. Use a carbide tipped chain 2. File the guards down. Lots of people that don’t do it for a living don’t realize you need to file the guards every 3 or so filings of the teeth otherwise they block the cut. The more you file, the more the teeth bite. Since you have a robot with lots of strength holding the saw, you can file them down way more than a human could hold back and have it cut well at all angles.

Thats the way: " Why buy one when I can do a much worse one for free."

You know you've made a good robot when it has a "kill radius"

Computer scientists explaining gradient ascend: "imagine a ball on a curved surface" Mr.s stuff explaining gradient ascend: actually have a ball on a curved surface

“This is called a cheater, when you get way out here you can snap your wrench in half” Yes, that has been my general experience lol😆

“There’s a finite amount of ways to fail so eventually you’ll get it” best quote ever

This guy just made an entire slicer software for a highly advanced robot system. That is incredible. Well done
-
Bro I love this man. He made a useless wood part just to explain a concept to us to make sure we were on the same page.

"If it's so hard, why does this dog have a crown on?" You are a brave man, asking that question.

"there is a finite way to screw things up, so you will eventually finish" is great life advice, honestly.

One man doing the work of an entire team of engineers... As an engineering student, this guy is my inspiration and role model
-
“I almost run out of way to screw it up” Is my life in a quote.

As a mechanical design engineer with 10 years in product development, this guy is an absolute beast. Makes me realize I need to step my game up. He would make newton, tesla, franklin etc proud the way he applies the scientific method. Mad respect.
-
Wow, this guy is crazy smart. I’m a developer myself, that doesn’t just take a couple of minutes to program. But he also knows how to metalwork, engineer, teach what he’s doing, make you laugh, and edit a very high quality video. 👏🏼

"When you have a bolt that's really stuck, you get way out here and snap your wrench in half" Had me rolling.

Man is a computer engineer, electrical engineer, and mechanical engineer all at once. Respect.
