CNC router how-to videos (AM training / support)

Product: AM.CO.ZA CNC routers for wood, MDF, Supawood, melamine, plastics, ACM, foam and stone, including ATC automatic tool change routers, stone routers with water cooling, rotary 4-axis and lathe set-ups, plus the spindles, inverters, collets, tool bits, vacuum pumps and dust collectors used with them. AM sells its current CNC routers under the EasyRoute brand. This index collects the AM YouTube videos about CNC routers whose titles do not carry the EasyRoute brand name. EasyRoute-titled videos and the full EasyRoute router SKU list are in easyroute-howtos.md, and RouterCAM software is in routercam-howtos.md. FlatCUT flatbed cutters are in flatcut-howtos.md, plasma cutters in metalwise-howtos.md, and CO2, fiber and UV lasers in their own indexes (trucut-howtos.md, raycut-howtos.md and labelmark-howtos.md).

Source: local AM YouTube dump youtube.jsonl (main, tools, daily and academy channels; refreshed 2026-10-18 00:25 SAST). First written 2026-10-18 12:17 SAST with 78 videos. YouTube was not crawled. Titles and watch URLs below are taken from the dump, including any spelling slips or cut-off titles in the original. Videos were not watched; no transcripts are invented.

English dump titles (78 unique watch URLs)

Grouped for AM support and sorted by date inside each group. AM-channel uploads are framed as AM training/support sources. Each watch URL is a source. Matching used titles about CNC routers, ATC routers, stone routers, router spindles, tool bits and tool presetters, spoilboards, vacuum tables, liquid ring vacuum pumps and dust collection, and jobs cut on a router. Videos already listed in another AM how-to index were left out, so nothing is listed twice. Deduplicated by watch ID; videos that share a title but have distinct watch IDs are all kept.

Installation, commissioning, vacuum pumps and dust collection

Installing a home-business router with a 220V dust collector and vacuum pump, liquid ring vacuum pumps (220V and 380V water tank set-up, working principle, best practice, common problems and repair), installation precautions for the 2026 ATC routers and the new vacuum table layout, the Learn Basics of CNC Machine Commissioning lessons, pneumatic push-down rollers for holding boards on a vacuum table, mist and DIY tool-bit cooling, and dust-free cutting with a dust collector.

Calibration, spoilboard levelling, maintenance and repair

Generic X, Y and Z alignment steps for all router makes and models, spoilboard levelling and skimming with a flycutter, signs that a router needs calibration, square-cutting calibration with a dial indicator, chasing precision with stainless steel shims and a micrometre, fixing spindle connectors on site, the CNC controller power failure demo, and how loud an industrial router is.

Operation, tool bits, tool presetters and machining tips

Changing feed rate and spindle speed, wired, wireless and DIY tool presetters, the rotary unit lathe set-up on a router, the Learn Basics of CNC Operations lessons, how AM CNC software works, the router tool bit range, stone cutter router bits, and cutting melamine board without chipping.

Range overviews, prices, stock promos, business episodes and courses

Training and support for all AM CNC machines, the BusinessNow router business episode, the local router assembly line, router price drops and the 2025 price for signwriters, shopfitters and furniture makers, making money with a router, What's in stock router promos, and the Ambitious Academy CNC Router Course.

Customer work and applications (2015–2026)

Jobs cut and carved on routers: Corian and acrylic work, twin-station custom builds, marble, granite and carved stone faces, a 4-axis rotary wooden statue, automatic Supawood sheet handling on a side-carousel ATC router, engraved Rowmark plastic, knife handles, Supawood frames, DIBOND bathroom signs, retail display cabinets, HDPE workboats, modular furniture, packaging layer boards, 3D channel letters, 3D art and the AM.CO.ZA reception light.

Daily-channel router demos (2025–2026)

Short clips of routers and ATC routers at work in 2025 and 2026: shape and name-board cut-outs, client design set-ups, routers tested before delivery, and demo-centre activity.

Related SKUs (Buythis dump only; no prices, no stock)

From the Buythis product dump (buythis.jsonl; not crawled; prices and stock are not stored on this index). 416 current spindle, inverter, collet, tool bit, vacuum, dust collection, table and training SKUs used with AM CNC routers. The EasyRoute routers themselves and the spares already listed in easyroute-howtos.md (or any other how-to index) are not repeated here. Laser and plasma parts are left out. Check the product page before quoting, because some spares only fit certain spindle or collet sizes.

Spindle inverters (R-VFD) (8)

Collets, collet nuts, spanners and ATC tool holders (R-ER…, R-BT30…) (16)

Notes

• Matching: dump titles about CNC routers, router tooling, vacuum hold-down and dust collection, minus any video already in another AM how-to index (mostly easyroute-howtos.md, routercam-howtos.md, flatcut-howtos.md and metalwise-howtos.md).
• One short titled Easy Route (I4zF_Bvoegw) was not in easyroute-howtos.md, so it is listed here under range overviews.
• Laser videos that mention CNC (CNC CO2 laser cutting, Supawood laser projects), plasma cutter clips, robotic milling arm statues, the 2019 FESPA expo, Sunnyrock HQ vlogs and non-router vacuum items (screen printing table, bag sealer) were left out because they are not router videos.
• Several videos were uploaded twice on the main and academy channels (for example the CNC Router Course, the Learn Basics lessons, the tool bit range and the reception light); each watch ID is kept as its own source.
• The EasyRoute 2050×8000mm router variants (R-2080K range) in the Buythis dump are routers, not accessories, so they belong with the EasyRoute index rather than this list.
• Older videos show earlier router models and prices; check the current SKU list before quoting a model to a client.
• Live stock is never stored here; check the live stock feed for availability.
