CNC Build Ep 6: Automatic Tool Changer Rack / Tool Stations - DIY Wood ATC Tool Rack for Cheap
Hey CNC Woodworkers! This is how I made my ATC Tool Rack for my Automatic Tool Changer spindle on my Avid CNC. It's made out of wood, using stock I milled from downed trees, so it was "free". I cover considerations on where to place the tool rack on the CNC machine, including how to orient the tool holder or tool fork, depending on how you are using a dust shoe for dust collection (ie: a slim dust boot to fit over the rack versus docking or moving the dust boot aside). I talk about 3D printing a tool pocket rack, and why I didn't go that route. Finally, I show how I machined the rack out of wood, so you can follow along and make your own! I am using an Avid CNC, but you could easily use this same design on any other regular DIY wood CNC machine. This design works well for all ATC spindles: CNC Depot's S30 / S30C, HITECO QD-1F, and other import spindles.
