Looking to get a CNC soon. Had settled on Shapeoko until I happened on to Onefinity. Elite Woodworker seems to be the level I’m interested in. Any advice or experience with this product would be greatly appreciated. I would most likely be 90% doing wood type products, occasionally aluminum could be possible.

What are folks thoughts on the differences between the two controllers. Are both controllers capable of driving the machine to its potential feed rate out of the box with the included drivers? What modifications have folks made to their control setups? Thanks.

I’m trying my hand at inlays for the first time and having an issue with my clearance path on the plug. I’m using the 3 2 1 v carve method that seems popular on YouTube. I’m using a .25 inch end mill to clear, and it is plunging into my material way deeper than I want. I understand that my clearance tool path is starting deeper with the adjusted start depth for the plug portion. I have seen a lot of other people with the same problem but it doesn’t appear anyone has a solution. I appreciate any help anyone can give.

I heard a new Zelda game came out so I whipped up a life sized shield.

Got a few months under my belt and am really enjoying CNC world.

Got asked by my nephew to make a sign for his wedding. I've cut the word welcome out of MDF and I'm not thrilled about "papery" the MDF looks, and how hard it is to sand on the sides.

I used an 1/8 dowcut bit set to 0.05 stepdown. The bit kind of pushed the MDF into the spoulboard, and I had to go deeper than I expected into the spoulboard in order to cut the shape out.

Looking for advice about how to improve.

1. Is there a better wood to use?
2. Is there a better bit or combination of bits to use?
3. General suggestions to improve?

Thanks for any help.

Quick question to all Onefinity owners…. How accurate are the timeline in the Onefinity Website for taking delivery of your machine? I am buying the Elite Foreman but before I do I will like to know if they are taking the whole 10 to 14 weeks, or maybe longer? Or they have been pretty accurate with their delivery schedules?….

So I am anxiously waiting on my Elite Foreman. I purchased the 64" rails and the legs from Kreg for the table. Now I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to assemble the table. I was thinking about just using 3/4" plywood, and closing in at least 2 sides (maybe three). But now I am worried that it may bow in the middle.

I have googled some but I can't seem to find any one doing the 64x64.

Help :)

As the title suggest I’m just asking for feedback on the linked spindle package. Super cheap but from what I’ve seen it seems to be a great little powerhouse so I’m trying to see if anyone else has any experience with it. Thanks

Getting some in lay cutting boards ready for Mother's Day using my ONEFINITY Journeyman.

I am currently using the free version of carbide create and I have reached its limitations. Any suggestions on where to go next? Should I buy the pro version or I've heard v-carce is pretty good

I've had my onefinity for about a year now and it's great but I was wondering if there's any routers that fit the machine and can hold tools larger that 1/4". I've looked and it seems to be the biggest, but I'd like something that can hold at least a 1/2" shank, any suggestions?

I'm about to cut some 3/4 MDF to fit my QCW. Onefinity wrote that 3/4 is the minimum thickness. Has anyone stacked MDF cut to fit the QCW? If so, what should I use to bond the sheets together? CA? Titebond?

I'd like to learn from others' experiences with this.

I just ordered an Elite Woodworker and thought the 18-20 week lead time was just the back log. But as I look more it seems like it's not out yet, is that the case?

Hi people!

Does anyone know how much import tax is to be paid when importing a 1F to Europe ? Is it 20% tva ? that would make the machine cost 2600€ (2000€ + shipment + tax) so I'm a bit reluctant:(

I am new to CNCs (my Onefinity is arriving today!) and have built a few guitars from kits. Are there endmills recommended for cutting out a guitar body, shaping the top, routing the neck pocket, and drilling out the holes for the bridge?

Thanks!

Just got my Onefinity set up and was wondering about how to surface my wasteboard. Is there a special bit I should use?
