Adding T-Track Clamps // Wasteboard Upgrade to the Onefinity CNC // How To

[@BruceAUlrich]

Looks like a nice and simple way to get a very functional wasteboard. Thanks for sharing!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Bruce A. Ulrich heck yeah Worse case scenario I buy a new piece of mdf if I don’t like it lol

[@kenmiller2869]

I love your honesty. My journey has also been a "learn as I go" in a lot of ways. My grandfather taught me a lot of the old ways but then I got a career. Trying to remember the lessons of old and incorporate the new as well. I look forward to the journey and I thank you for sharing with us. As i get better ill start sharing myself. Ken

[@TwoMooseDesign]

you probly have to adjust your offsets, i would reach out to onefintiy or comment in the facebook onefinty user group. should be a simple fix, they have a forum right up on it.

I’m enjoying your channel. This looks like a solid CNC machine. Thanks

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@bryanbrunner9548]

I'm ordering one tomorrow for building guitars primarily but will use it for other things as well. This will be my first CNC so I'm pretty excited about it. I was looking at the Longmill CNC but saw the Onefinity in your videos and there is definitely a difference in quality.

[@Bart_Depestele]

do you think you could do inlay with different wood for the stars or is it a bit too small?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

If you did a v carve inlay your might be a able too 🤷🏼‍♂️ I don’t do very many so I’m not exactly sure how small you can go

[@rspandetjr]

My only concern about adding t trac is cutting into them and breaking bits. Is that not an issue?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

The tracks are typically aluminum which is a soft metal and you would blow through them with ease. I would be more concerned on why you are cutting though the waste board over a 1/4 lol

[@clarkstevens2711]

One trick I did when I wanted my grid to stand out I cut the grid and then I spray-painted the top and then when I surfaced the top I had perfectly Red Lions with my logo in the board

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Oh nice! Good idea

[@jav9888]

Great VID !! lots of great hints, question what bit do you use for out side cuts ? lets say cutting circles , sqaures ...

[@TwoMooseDesign]

I like 1/8 or 1/4” down cut bits. Up cuts and compression bits are also great options. Thanks for watching!

[@TR-et3py]

New to channel. My Onefinity is coming in early August. I was going to prep for it as much as I can by starting to build the table. Do you have a table build video? Or can you tell me the size of the top? And overall height.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Hey! 48” wide and 60” long would be more than enough. The controller is about 8” and the machine is about 45”x45”

[@ArganicWoodwork]

That Jeff guy is HAWT! But fo real solid work guys

[@TwoMooseDesign]

lmao 🤣

[@richarnaud7794]

I noticed you never milled the top surface of the wasteboard?? or did you? before you put the grid lines in? I got my machine recently and followed your wasteboard t/track setup..thanks alot..you guys are great!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

You definitely can surface the work area. I didn’t because I didn’t have a bit at that time. And Id you only cut small stuff like trays you’ll never notice. Large stuff over 20x20 definitely surface the wasteboard

[@1734gator]

In the world of industrial CNC manufacturing that is called a subplate. In that application it would be a big piece of aluminum that you can drill and tap holes in for mounting vises and fixtures without ever leaving any marks on the table.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

[@miketeresitaalvarado321]

Good video, I was wondering if you used Easel to make your grid lines, I noticed that your spoil board is 32"X32" does Easel make carves that size without tiling? do you use the Pro or free version. Thank you Mike

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Hey! We did. You can adjust the size as large as you want I believe and we use pro version

[@DormantIdeasNIQ]

@@TwoMooseDesign what is Easel? does it come with the Onefinity machine? How does that fit in the big picture?

[@markbennison3399]

Thanks for sharing your videos. I'm waiting on a Journeyman and was wondering if you were starting from scratch (as I am), would you still build your own waste board or would you consider the QCW? Thanks.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

The qcw looks pretty nice! I haven’t played with one yet but if it’s in the budget I’d probably get it, one less thing to worry about 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@shaynetcrocker]

Will this CNC be able to tile?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

I believe any Cnc can tile it’s all in the software

[@jda407]

what t-track clamps have you ended up using, if any? I just built mine the same way and I'm now realizing that the Rockler t-track inline clamps will not work because the track is lower than the spoil board. Just wondering if you are using any or just sticking with the glue/tape method? seems that the t-tracks could be irrelevant if you are and the spoil board could be one big board with the grid. Also, do you have a file for the grid that you can share? save some vcarve design time. ;-) thanks. can't wait to dive into things with my 1F

[@seckora]

What software do you use? You're the second person I've seen using a game controller.....I'd love to be doing that!

When doing the CA Glue and tape thing, why not just put the tape on the project, add glue, add the other piece of tape, then turn over and stick to the waste board? Then you don't have to try and line up the tape pieces with the blank in the way?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

That would work too 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ve never had an issue 😁👍🏼

[@williamdugger5572]

I am a little concerned about the Y-axis running on rails that aren't supported. Have you had a chance to check for flex? Also, I am little surprised they don't have stop and zero switches. Maybe these will make it into the production machines. I think this is a fine looking machine but at this point is a huge gamble. Loved the box BTW.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

William Dugger There is no flex at all. Myers Woodshop posted a video standing on his on facebook and Instagram. There are soft limits in the software no switches needed 👌🏼👌🏼 thank you! I appreciate you checking out the video!

sarah knight hey Sarah! Thanks for checking our our videos we appreciate it! I think the shapeoko is a great machine a lot of people seem to be pretty happy with them, I’ve personally never used one. We had an x carve for 2 years and I much prefer the onefinity over that. I think onefinity opens up orders again sometime this month and then you’ll probably have to wait a few months to get it. Soooooo is probably let that decide which way to go 🤷🏼‍♂️ if you don’t have a problem waiting I think the onefinity is a great machine 👌🏼

[@joeking433]

I don't get it. Why wouldn't you just put the waste board strips and the t tracks down at the tame time? Wouldn't you have a lot less measuring?

[@DormantIdeasNIQ]

I may be missing something here... but consider this: First, the channel waste board approach seems much better than this screw-on type. Way too many screws to deal with, and more planning to line up the stock each time. The channel type, is much quicker, less cumbersome. Surely there may be pros and cons for either... chyme in, we all need to learn. Second, it also looks to be bad planning. ...and I am not picking on anyone nor you specifically. ALL the people who mean to show others how to do a waste board are omitting clues. First the CNC is installed on a table/flat surface, then the waste board becomes an after the fact proposition. The Z depth is then partially eaten by the add-on waste board. Should not the waste board top rather line up with the maximum depth of the Z axis? Therefore now, you must add thickness(strips) under the feet of the machine to raise it to par? ...again, chyme in...

[@richarnaud7794]

I dont understand why you pre-drill the c'sinks on the t-track..i ordered the same ones and they come pre-drilled with nice c'sinks..the self-centering bits don't really do anything..just dont understand why you use self-centering bits on holes with c'sinks??

[@EastLondonKiwi]

Hi nice machine and I look forward to seeing how you get on with it. Re squaring up stock, have you thought of Bench-dogs, or pins? have a look at this guy Peter Parffit who has done a load of research into the subject and made a tool to install them on normal work spaces (which I don't think you'll need for this approach to work on your cnc), kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXKumYaGd9Sto9U importantly for you, he goes into the maths and why their placement works. If you purchased some procession ground drill rod, you could cut that down to make some pins. then have you CNC bore exact holes in your spoil board at key points that enable you to quickly square stock at known points by inserting the pins at stock placement time. You might even have them so your stock hits exact Y and X placements, negating the need to zero the X and Y, then once the stock is held down, remove the pins for cutting? If you saved this dog placement and sizing in your grind cutting and spoil board surfacing Gcode, you'd have a repeated-able pin placement every time you changed your boards. Hope that helps. take care D
