Onefinity Woodworker vs X carve 1000mm // Best CNC machine to buy?

[@apappano]

Now listen here... that was entirely too clean, informative and well prepared for a KZbin vid. Not once did I feel I was wasting my time. Really high production value, you earned my follow and like, as well as probably sold me on the Onefinity. (Considering doing a vertical wall mount!) Keep it up.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

oh wow thanks! i appreciate it. youll love having a cnc!

[@kerryking9319]

I have been in the wood construction industry for 40 years and purchased a Onefinity a year ago, running V-Carve Pro. I am computer literate but have never had any dealing with CNC. I spent a month learning the software in my spare time and the machine was easy enough to not require much time in learning the operations. This machine has made such a change in my shop, the options are unlimited and left to your imagination from that point forward. I am in the process of funding the purchase of 2 more machines to ad to my shop. I know they have a 4X8 system that is my plan as well. Thank You Onefinity and V-Carve Pro.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Wow! That’s amazing! Glad you had great success! Hope 2022 is even better for you

[@agdtec]

Best acuracy test I have seen was the operator made a 2 meter ruler with mm on one side and inch on the other and then put it next to steel rulers and it was off so he went into the software Mach 3 and measured the over all length vs what he was trying to achieve and the second attempt was dead on. he did it in both the x and the y axis. It was impressive.

[@jessie38supercharged]

The cut path direction can sometimes stop all chatter. work against the spin of the bit instead of with it.

[@grantjohnston6152]

Disclaimer: I like your videos. There are many factors that contribute to chatter from feed/speed rates to condition of end mills, from carriage positioning mechanism(belts, lead screws, rack and pinion, etc to overall machine set up(maintaining bolt torque, parallelism, etc.. independent of all of that is fixturing. I have a CNC Mill and have learned that fixturing is among the most important elements of obtaining a quality finish. While CA glue and masking tape is quick and easy, and may seem to take a significant amount of force to remove, it is NOT a direct replacement for mechanical fixturing. One can spend more time using mechanical fixturing at the front end and potentially less time on the back end sanding out the chatter. Side note - seeing your table move around (4:53) is EXACTLY what you don't want. The motion/energy created by the servo motors is intended to move only that XY axis, if it is moving the table, you are losing resolution. You might say you were only quickly jogging the machine around the table but that doesn't matter, you WILL lose resolution.

[@mikekernan5388]

This is the best video I've seen about comparisons between two machines, as well as giving such specific info on the pros and cons of both machines. I'm still two months away from buying mine, and I'm leaning towards the x-carve with the upgrade kit recently offered. A primary reason is their 3 year subscription to Easel.

Wow the Onefinity is the one. I don't know much about CNC's but one only needs to look at the construction. I first looked at Bobs CNC.....what! made out of wood...are you kidding.

Awesome comparison/info video. All you're videos are really good and I'd already made my mind up about getting the Onefinity as soon as I saw your first video and it's construction. Seeing you're feeds and speeds for the Onefinity would be like another Xmas gift!! PS; I've been running my employers ShopSabre 48 Pro ATC since he first purchased it November 2019 and it uses ball screws for all 3 axis. We grease and lube the machine at the end of 20 hours machine run time without fail. I test the machine's x & Y axis with a machinist's dial indicator once a month and it's still +/- .001 after 1 year. I do use Vectric Aspire and Solidworks/CamWorks to generate tool paths (Solidworks is much easier to actually see what your creating than Aspire for me at least and what I've spent years learning/using as a CNC machinist.

[@kyleflorek7074]

to help with the chatter you can try milling the other direction. The X carve was climb milling which make chatter worse. might help with cleaner cuts. The onefinity rigidity is the clear winner tho. Thanks for the break down!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

thanks for the tip!

[@RoseKindred]

The deciding factor between X-Carve, Shapeko, and Onefinity for me is the ease of set-up and that includes the durability of rails vs belts. The extra couple hundred in price is worth the 'idiot-proof' factor. Being disabled it can be difficult to move around little screws and guidewheels while fighting to tighten the belts. Seeing a KZbinr actually stand on his machine makes me think that the OneFinity is the most durable starter I can get into.

The shapeoko looks nicer than the x carve id like to play with one of those but I don’t want to buy one 😆

[@thecrusader3152]

Can you buy Easel to run with the Onefinity? I am not seeing where to do this since it is included with the X-carve.

It’s a free. You can buy a subscription for more features. You just export the code as other then upload it to the onefinity

[@thecrusader3152]

Thank you, I see the subscription cost now. I am still on the fence since it is an investment either way between the two. It seems the Onefinity has more useable workspace, has more stability, is more time-efficient, has less assembly and maintenance, but doesn't have particular accessories that the X-carve has with respect to dust, waste-board, and a router. Before this video, I had no idea the Onefinity existed, so I am second guessing my X-carve decision, which I have not made the purchase yet.

Thanks for the tips 👊🏼

[@shdwhealr]

For you 1/4 end mill on the x-carve, you are able to run FR100, Plunge of 20, at a depth of 0.1in per pass. what is the Dewalt router dial on? I have an upgraded x-carve and use good bits. I stay on 3 (router dial) and cant run your speeds and feeds.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

hey! I would run the spindle at about 4-5 on the dewalt. If your bit is hot/warm after cutting your RPMs are too high and lower it slightly. Also do some research on chip load. You want your sawdust coming off to be small chips not a bunch of tiny dust specs if that makes sense.

[@CSLFiero]

If your never need more than maybe half an inch cut depth, would it make more sense to go laser? Seems a laser could give you higher resolution and less tear out, you just gotta deal with the burns, a little acid wash should do it.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

I think a half inch would require a pretty strong laser. Ive definitely seen people cut 1/4 no problem and in that case and your just doing engravings and simple cut outs id definitely go with a laser. I honestly don't know much about them. ive actually been thinking about getting one myself.

I personally haven’t used a spindle before. You get more control over rpms and a little more torque I believe. If it’s in the budget I’d probably go with a spindle but a router will do just fine for 98% of people 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@richardbaynes3862]

A spindle is in a different class from a router...if you have the opportunity to get a good one, go for it...

[@ollianddelphine]

Just get the spindle. You will end up getting one after a while anyway.

[@martinessary6610]

I thought you had a list of the onefinity options setup? I don't see it in the description. Can you post a list of the options you used on the onefinity? I would really appreciate it. You are making it hard for me not to purchase a onefinity cnc-mill.

[@Ian_Mcrae43]

Awesome video - you ever plan on selling your files for stuff you make on Etsy?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Thanks! We do! We’re just trying to find the best way to do it.

[@moodymade3884]

Make as many onefinity videos as you can! Maybe a video with steps from design, software and cutting??

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Absolutely! I was going to do like an in-depth video of making like a tray and putting a design in the bottom

[@AdvantageWealth]

I have an OneFinity on order..nice video

[@TwoMooseDesign]

That’s awesome congratulations you’ll love it

[@louismaberry9683]

Good job, thanks for your help!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Thanks for watching!

HEY JEFF - BEING A CABINETMAKING TEACHER FOR 45 YEARS I UNDERSTAND THE ROUTER BIT "CHATTER" PROBLEM - BACK IN THE DAY ALL YOU WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE WERE 1/4" SHANK ROUTER BITS - THEN THEY LISTENED TO OUR SUGGESTIONS AND OFFER 1/2" SHANKS, THUS MAKING THE ROUTER BIT "CHATTER" LESS OF A PROBLEM- DOESN'T YOUR MAKITA ROUTER HAVE THE 1/2" COLLETS OPTIONS - MY PORTER CABLE ROUTER OFFERS 1/4" OR 1/2" COLLETS OR TRY CHANGING THE SHANKS OF YOUR ROUTER BITS - ALSO, CLIMB CUTTING CAUSES "CHATTER" OFTEN HEARD IN MY METALS CLASSROOM ON THE BRIDGEPORT HORIZONTAL MILLING MACHINE OPERATIONS

[@TwoMooseDesign]

The makita doesnt offer a 1/2 shank unfortunately..... I can get a larger router that offers a larger shank option which would help a ton.

[@kenemilyholtz9202]

Such a great video, thanks so much!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Thank you!!

[@chadvoller]

With the CA glue, viscosity can matter. Thin and spreads very easily and may not provide a good bond unless you apply it to both sides.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

I use thin as well and never had an issue. Medium-gel is definitely best though

[@chadvoller]

@@TwoMooseDesign Could be the brand. I have Stick Fast from Woodcraft, not satisfied with it.. It's like water, and super brittle. Bought it to coat pens and cracks up even on Stabilized wood. I only use it to bond thin crack as it soaks right in. Ready to toss the whole bottle out. 😆

[@TwoMooseDesign]

@@chadvoller oh weird yeah I’m not sure I’ve only ever used titebond lol do you use the accelerator? That stuff definitely makes it more brittle

[@chadvoller]

@@TwoMooseDesign I stay away from accelerate when bond is required, and it definitely makes the Stick Fast thin crack even more so I don't use it there as well. Bad batch or just a bad brand. The thin I had from PSI never had cracking issues, even with accelerant. I'll try tight bond next.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

@@chadvoller yeah I agree I rarely use accelerator, and yeah! Worth a shot I haven’t had issues so I haven’t switched. Star bond isn’t bad either I use their black ca glue

[@drewschultz5257]

Just curious if anyone knows if the Onefinity can be converted so it can have a 4 x 8 cutting capacity? Great video, lots of help info. Thanks!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

currently no you cant i believe the biggest they offer is 32" by 48"

[@marksatterfield3100]

Would be nice to see a comparison with the SiEnCi LongMill.

[@micahc2340]

You mentioned the 3-Axis Touch Probe as a must have accessory. Can you explain what that is used for and why it’s a must? Obviously I’m a 1st timer shopping 🙂

[@TwoMooseDesign]

It makes the carve set up process easier. It tells the Cnc where to start cutting. If you don’t have one your essentially “eye balling” it. With the probe, you plug it in and the machine figures it out on its own vs. you manually setting the zero of where the machine will start if that makes sense 😬

[@davidalan6701]

Definitely getting the onefinity. Since the Mikita router is giving you issues, any recommendations on an alternative?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Overall it’s fine. I wedge a small stick in there or use tape. Functions fine just a tad annoying. I don’t know the model but there’s a onefinity group in facebook that has a bunch of information on the other stuff people buy for them. I’ll see if I can find a link and add it to the description

EXCELLENT, Excellent Video!

[@eddiefinestcutz]

Hello where else can I purchase the onefimity other then on their sites? It’s always backordered. Is there a store or another website that carries them? Iam in the US.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

There isn’t anywhere else. It’s a new company that launched during the pandemic so I’m sure it’s been tough. If you follow the onefinity facebook pages people occasionally give up their slot in line.

[@eddiefinestcutz]

Watching this video convinced me to buy onefimity do you think I should wait or should I buy X carve in your opinion?

[@AlberAmaya-x8i]

The chatter could possibly be reduced by changing the direction of the milling. Climb milling vs conventional milling.

[@williamsills9399]

Hi, great video. I'm brand new to woodworking. I'm making a project for people where I'm using my jigsaw to cut it out. I think the cnc will give me more opportunity to expand my options for people. The problem is I have no idea what to order. This is all pretty overwhelming. I have limited space so I am looking at the folding table or wall mount system. Can you do a video on where to begin? I don't know what is necessary and what is not. I think I'm just going to order everything from Onefinity when I decide. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Absolutely. and the onefinity is a great machine to start with as it gives you a ton of room to grow. the only reason to upgrade would be needing more cutting area!

[@MauricioHernandez-de8is]

What material are the black parts made of?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Aluminum I believe

[@toddmatthews3326]

I have a lot of experience using a 3D printer and have used Autodesk Fusion. Could you use the code from this program to use the Onefinity.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

yes fusion works with Onefinity. i personally dont use it but i see others in the facebook group using fusion

[@toddmatthews3326]

@@TwoMooseDesign Thank you thank make my decision easier. Didn't like having to pay to use another program on a subscription.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

@@toddmatthews3326 nope! you just export the code and upload it to the onefinity you could even use a jump drive
