PWN Spindle UPGRADE on ONEFINITY CNC || Things you should know

[@iwannaapple7190]

I don't have one of those machines. Lol, I have a cnc4newbie which is Canadian but I would have to say that was one helluva video. Very useful and informative to those who have this machine and setup. BTW, when cnc4newbie sent me my machine shipping was free and I live in the deep south!??? My longmill was $150 for shipping on this side of the border. I forgot what it was on your side of the border. I have no idea how they get away with it. I dunno if it was cause I am a vet and they just gave me free shipping or what. Oh yeah, I've been doing it long enough to figure out the real reason you would want a spindle. Of course longevity goes along with it but the real reason someone should get a spindle is for chip load. You can't really get a proper chipload out of a router. Rpm's have to be too fast and there is not enough torque to spin at lower rpm's which in turn heats up the bit, even just a little, and wears it down faster than what it should wear. My r11 router blows constant air on it so my bit doesn't really get hot but I still can't exactly run the feed as fast as I would like. In other words, if you want your bits to last longer, get a spindle. If your not in production mode, save your money and get a router with an r11 collet. That sux you have to do all that just for getting a bigger spindle. The money you spent for that you could get a bigger cnc4newbie and table with the same thing onefinity is offering. The only problem with my machine is there is never a problem so I have no idea how good customer support is?

I've been looking at hobby grade cnc routers but looking at prices especially nowadays I've decided to build my own. I've purchased enough parts for a 4x4 foot cutting capacity cnc router. I'll be using 2x3 square steel tube 3/16 thick for the x and y axis and a 2x6 inch steel square tube also 3/16 thick for the z axis. A 1.5kw square air cooled spindle liear square block guides with their respective ball screws on all axis. Nema 23 closed loop steppers and a ESP32 microcontroller running a version of grblhal. I'll use inkscape for my cad and grblgru for my cam. This is the cheapest route for a decent router that is rigid enough for the best accuracy and speed for the money. Thanks for the video. More reason to build my own.

May the odds be ever in your favor?

the more i see the faults of the 1f machines and prices i think the altmil is a way better option to purchase. ive got one of thier 1f machines with the bb controller and its been a decent machie but support sucks and it appears theyve overlooked this design flaw as well.

1:20 the ding sound is super loud 😵‍💫

[@HewmanMade]

Have to make sure you're paying attention...What's really going to make you 😵‍💫 is when you realize all the ding's are the same volume 🔉

I upgraded to the z-20 as well and no mounting screws were included. Another $8 at the hardware store. Would it hurt 1F to drop a print out of the required system update instructions in the box?

[@HewmanMade]

Oh so it wasn't just me? Hmmm....I was truly hoping that my z-20 just got missed when they were adding in the mounting bolts.

I ship all over the world and shipping from the united states to anywhere else is freaking expensive. I charge the actual amount that it costs me and it's still freaking expensive. If it was UPS they tack on a bunch of extra bullshit charges as well. Most of my commercial customers in canada use a male drop in the united states and then walk the packages through customs themselves at the border. They still have to pay the tax, but they don't get screwed on all of the extra charges from the carrier.

[@HewmanMade]

Shipping is truly out of hand these days. And UPS is the WORST! Don't even get me started on those lying, fraudulent dickwads!
