36 Month Stress Test! Onefinity Review

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Great review. I have had my Onefinity about the same as you and I agree with your assessment 100%. Above all, GO BLUE!!

[@SJSSawdust]

You said it! These machines are great

[@jeffdeluca1153]

@@paulsmessyworkshop Definitely Blue

[@NWGR]

Thanks for the updated review. I can't wait to be able to afford my onefinity. Hopefully soon.

[@SJSSawdust]

You will love it! I just looked at the site and there’s 3 different series now, which one you going to go with?

[@NWGR]

@@SJSSawdust The pro series, I'm undecided between the woodworker and journeyman. I'd love to have the journeyman in my shop but I'd have to do a fair bit of rearranging to fit things in there. Keep it up, your channel is one I've been following for a long time now.

[@SJSSawdust]

@@NWGR You can’t go wrong with the bigger machine, and if you add on the laser module, that’s easily the biggest diode on the market. I’ve rearranged the shop monthly to help improve workflow, my wife always rolls her eyes when I tell her that “I’ve finally got it!” And thanks for watching for so long, I really appreciate it !

[@NWGR]

@@SJSSawdust That's what I'm really leaning towards since the price difference is only a few hundred $$. I'm not sold on a laser in my shop yet, but I have looked into it a bit.

Go Blue! Fellow Michigander here and Onefinity owner. I have had mine for about 1.5years and love it. I enjoy your videos, keep up the great work!

[@SJSSawdust]

Yes - Go Blue! So you’re the one who enjoys my videos!! Hahah. Have you had any trouble with the colder winter weather and your machine?

[@dewaynethole769]

@@SJSSawdust no, I have mine in a 2 car garage that I insulated pretty well. I have a small heater that keeps at around 40-45 or so. If I plan on working out there then I turn on the propane heater for about 30 minutes prior to going out.

[@dewaynethole769]

@@SJSSawdust have you had problems with the colder weather?

[@SJSSawdust]

@@dewaynethole769 I’m so jealous. I need to just man up and insulate mine this summer…. There’s just so much to move out.

[@WindRidgeWoodCrafts]

Great info and I feel the same about my Onefinity X-50 Journeyman that I've had for about 2 years now. Regarding drag chains, the current Pro and Elite series now come with factory drag chains. The older and current X-35/X-50 do not come with drag chains. As you said, those are optional purchases through the Onefinity site. My X-50 Journeyman did not come with drag chains, so I ordered them from Amazon, then never installed them.

[@SJSSawdust]

Ahh. Ok. Thanks for the info. It’s a hell of a machine!

[@geneferber4488]

Love the video...and all the Detroit/Michigan/Lions things in this one...(I live in Clarkston)...getting ready to retire soon and am starting to look into the OneFinity...

[@SJSSawdust]

Thanks! Retiring soon…. I’m jealous! You have to get a CNC, and the Onefinity is great

[@NineFingersDesign]

Thanks for the great review. Can you tell us what type of depth per pass and IPM it can handle on let's say a 1/4 UpCut end mill on walnut or cherry? Many thanks Jason

[@SJSSawdust]

@@NineFingersDesign Sure. To be honest, the only limitation, even with a trim router like I have (but you could install a spindle ) - is the integrity of the bit itself. I had this going at 150 ipm, I forgot to tighten the collet because I’m an idiot - it dropped 90% out of the collet so it was plowing through 3/4” oak and about 1/2” MDF of my spoilboard - seemingly no problem. Those ball screws are invincible

[@NineFingersDesign]

Many thanks!!! ​@@SJSSawdust

[@user_16309]

Are there any quality issues? I’d planned on a Sheapoko 5 Pro. I’m hearing of QA issues with the controller. The plan is hobby CNC now, selling stuff later. The Onefinities appear more expensive. That’s ok is the quality is there. Please share your expertise. Thanks.

[@SJSSawdust]

@@user_16309 I am not affiliated whatsoever with Onefinity - so my opinion is mine alone. This machine is awesome. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Even more, now that they have the new controller, that is so much more capable than mine - it’s even more of a no brainer.

[@rodneycarpenter3253]

I have the journeyman it's a great machine.

[@SJSSawdust]

@@rodneycarpenter3253 I agree. I love having ball screws and no need for belts and tensioning

[@misury]

Thanks for great video! I really need to use my onefinity more. At any rate go get yourself one of these: Dell P2314TT 23" Touch Screen LED Monitor. It's a huge upgrade to the one they include.

[@SJSSawdust]

I will DEFINITELY look that up - thanks! And YES, use your Onefinity more . I find myself cutting stuff that I don’t really even need, I just want to use it. Lol

[@misury]

@@SJSSawdust My problem is very similar to yours and that it's in my garage and Midwest winters are not my friend lol. That and I have a bunch of lasers that I've been using a ton so they've kind of pulled me away lately. 😉

[@SJSSawdust]

@@misury that’s awesome. What do you have? I have the x tool d1, just recently attached the rotary, so that’s been fun to mess around with

[@misury]

@@SJSSawdust I have the Xtool P2, the Xtool F1, a creality falcon 10 watt and then the 14 watt on my onefinity woodworker. Then of course to complete the makerspace I have bambu X1 carbon. I might have a problem. 🤣

[@SJSSawdust]

@@misury doesn’t sound like a problem to me! I was eyeing the F1 ( still am) and I would love a 3D printer. There’s so many great creators out there that make awesome files for the printers - stuff that can be used in the workshop… seems kinda dumb NOT to get one….

[@congruewoodworks1474]

I'm so thankful to have found your channel, Subbed!. My first video was on your tips you learned before the craft show you went to with all those trays, then this one 3 years later. What gold!! I have a question I didn't hear covered in this video, the software. I recently learned that Carbide Create Pro added vcarve capability to make those insane 3d cutting boards (inlays) and was wondering if you think it would be compatible with the OneFinity?

[@SJSSawdust]

@@congruewoodworks1474 thanks so much! As far as software goes, I think as long as you can create g-code, the Onefinity can read it. I started off using Easel, and now I use VCarve

[@AfanOpiano]

Great vid

[@SJSSawdust]

@@AfanOpiano thanks a lot - hoped it helped!

[@misury]

Also, for good or bad, menu remind me of Mark Ruffalo with your voice. 😀

[@SJSSawdust]

Haha. Thanks - I’ll assume that’s good

[@jeffdeluca1153]

Good info. What machine model is this? Do you have the 50mm or 35mm rails? Do you use the onefinity controller? Thx a bunch Jeff

[@SJSSawdust]

@@jeffdeluca1153 Thanks. This is the original journeyman model ( 32” x 32” ) and, yes I use the wireless Onefinity controller - it works perfectly well.

[@bozinblaze8018]

Good job

[@SJSSawdust]

Thank you buddy

[@TheHat1607]

My machine is 9kw spindle and weighs 2 tons This is why we call them hobby It's if it's not 3 phase, it's hobby It just cost more lol

[@SJSSawdust]

@@TheHat1607 sounds real heavy duty!
