One device that cuts whatever, from all angles! Sponsored by Infimaker. InfiMaker K1 just released on Kickstarter! Get marked down early pricing here (affiliate link):.
InfiMaker sent me their brand name new K1 desktop 5-axis CNC to test before its public launch, so I made the same hammer head three times, when in oak, when in brass, and once in stainless-steel, to truly put this 5-axis CNC machine through its speeds. In this video I cover the full CNC machining workflow, developing the part in Fusion, setting up the toolpaths, running tool modifications on the automatic tool changer, and machining difficult metals like stainless steel on a desktop CNC device, something that used to need a commercial machine shop. I share the mistakes I made along the method, what I enjoyed about this 5-axis CNC router, and what still requires operate in a machine that's still in beta.

Too cool. Just need a justification to buy. Thanks for showing.
This is wild. The future is here 🎉🎉🎉
That’s crazy, great machine!
This is EXACTLY why we built the InfiMaker K1! Watching you push the machine’s limits—starting with wood, stepping up to aluminum and brass, and successfully carving solid stainless steel before finishing with that gorgeous acrylic art piece—is the ultimate definition of creative freedom.
Thank you, David, for your rigorous testing and your incredibly honest, constructive feedback. It means the world to our team. Just like you always say: Let’s make something together! 🛠✨
@InfiMaker I am a machinist. That the door can be open while the machine is running is a huge safety issue. You’ve designed a machine with software for people that do not understand what they are actually doing. If a tool breaks or a chip gets thrown while someone is poking their head in, they could easily loose an eye or worse.
I bypassed the safety door for the video. The machine will stop if you open the door.
From the way you mentioned having to pay attention and not be able to break up a job into small chunks so you aren’t sitting there all day, I assume it does not have a way to detect broken bits (or end mills or whatever)?
Truly amazing work, Dave!!! 😮
Fantastic indeed!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Technology be dope sometimes!
Dang! I have so many ideas that could come to fruition with this. It definitely seems like it’s going to be a great piece of kit. I wish I could afford it. The KS price is approachable but full retail is going to be a hard swallow, but in the end if it’s making you money it’ll definitely pay for itself.
Well made video Dave, awesome machine and I’m always blown away on your knowledge in making things. Enjoy your day.
I would have liked to see you clean it, eg after the acryllic..:)
This is really amazing. Having used CNC machines in both an industrial setting and at home, it is mind blowing the tools now available to us.
Looks amazing
Love it and the build envelope, would love to know the error stacking and repeatability for aluminium parts
If I could get 5-10 pieces within 0.01 each for mounts that’d be amazing
Also lacking information on if I can mount to the backside of the bed to have basic 3 axis capabilities for simple plates?
That is a very interesting workflow.
Excited to check it out tonight at humanmade!
I cannot believe this exists in a home maker shop situation now. Simply incredible.
Wow David this is so amazing. Thanks for sharing
The manufacturing capability available to the home hobbyist these days is absolutely bonkers. Looks like an interesting machine to watch. Thanks for sharing!
With this product and a X tool CNC laser cutter welder and a good 3-D printer you now can make anything. I’m so envious.
That is absolutely BONKERS! I have no idea what I would use this for, but it makes so much more possible!
