Thanks for including my designs! On a side note all my orders include a piece of candy as well. 😅 Original plates are acrylic, the quick swap plates are polycarbonate so they won’t shatter.
OK Hot Tip #2 for the waste board panels, mill out a shallow rabbit on each edge of the MDF 6mm wide by 3mm deep using a dado or the router itself, place 2 MDF panels side to side, grab a "T" bolt and spread each board slightly to determine a width of gap, that allows the "T" Bolt to slide freely in-between the two MDF panels, you have just made a "T" track for FREEEEE, screw down your waste board panels as normal maintaining this gap. Obviously do not over tighten to burst through the MDF, besides if you did you must be clamping way too aggressively in the first place.
Nice video - 2 things: Just an observation: I love me t-slots. I do one off projects, and it is great for what I do. You do a production run, so t-slots are not great for you. Your point about liking to design in the software is spot on. I had an idea for a design 2 days ago, and suddenly I had to work it out in my CAD/CAM (obsessed?). 24 hours later I had a video on that part. You don't have to be OCD for CNC, but it helps...
I've been considering getting into CNC woodworking for a while and Onefinity seems like the best option in this price bracket but all the tinkering and extra accessories needed is what's keeping me back. All I want is something to be bought as a complete package that just works OOTB. Got into 3D printing a couple of years ago but also waited quite a while - I now have a Prusa printer and I'm waiting for their XL that should be out later this year. They as a company have made it SO easy - everything is included, it just works and you can concentrate your time on making stuff and not on tinkering or searching through endless reviews or forum posts to fix issues or find the right upgrades. Anyways - keep these videos coming.
Hi I just bought a Onefinity CNC router and you are 100% correct the needed accessories are a bit of a concern BUT as a Mech Eng. I will gladly confirm it is one of if not the best most common sense constructed CNC Router out there at that price point! This is what made me give into the accessory conundrum.
OK hot tip if anyone is interested and RV'ers will know exactly what I am talking about, for dust collection use a 3" sewer hose with the "twist peg" fittings, these hoses are cheap and wire wound so they do not collapse under vacuum - but they have a "self gathering" capability and self adjust their length while under vacuum and take very little drag force to feed out when needed, the "twist peg" arrangement allow for quick disconnect and reconnect, and NO they are not super robust but given the price and depending use changing it out once a year (or less) is no problem.
I agree 100% on the auto tool change......been my biggest gripe and the reason I would go with another company later for my larger machine even tho I really like Onefinity.
Great info, Hamilton. I've only had my Journeyman a couple months and have picked up several accessories you showed. I have the rail blankets and set them up, then removed them. I will have to revisit that choice. I have the puck holder, but it's still in the package while I decide where my control box will live, either above the table or below it. I'm waiting on a little USB extender to show up today, which is what will help me move the control box below the table.
I absolutely love my onefinity, I think that I’m going to have to improve my dust collection to be more like yours along with the cloth protectors to the side. The ball screws or whatever they are called got clogged on mine the other day and I had to stop in the middle of something and fix it which was annoying. But overall this machine is 👌🏼
Your machine looks great! Love my cnc4newbie machine. Almost went with onefinity but really wanted uccnc interface and their controller. They're releasing auto tool changer a d have up to 5x10 beds. Anyways Have great day
Awww man, now look what you made me do! Gotta spend the rest of the night checking cnc4newbie out and I haven't even ate dinner yet! Shameful, Shameful, Shameful!
Also, you have to consider that for a company that would like to export to other countries, the tool changers can affect the export, classification, so that price goes up even more. They are uniquely set in a price/product niche at this time.
Great video as always. I'm having trouble finding the links to the 3d printed easy parts. I've got my dust collector system setup and x50 is a week out. I'd love to copy your setup. P.s. my wife loved the lama and elephant lacing toys!
Awesome video! Unpopular opinion, I think T-Tracks are a waste and at the very least everyones first waste board should be a flat sheet with nothing on it except for maybe a vertical and horizontal reference piece.
I think about this every now and then. I personally don't think that the Avid is 2x or 3x better than the Onefinity for what I do. I would get 2 onefinity machines before an Avid. But then again, I don't have one! Maybe they will send me one and I can put them side by side and see!

Your welcome for the idea on the rail covers.
Great idea with the fabric... I'm going to do that to mine! Keep up the grind with the videos. I enjoy them and learn a little along the way
Thanks that's very kind!
I bought the OneFinity x50, still in boxes. I was going to use drag chains for all the cables and use a hose above the machine for dust collection.
I agree 100% on the auto tool change......been my biggest gripe and the reason I would go with another company later for my larger machine even tho I really like Onefinity.

That opening montage was 10/10
Looks like you have your Onefinity pimped out pretty good. Nice video Hamilton. 👍🏻
Nice set of upgrades Hamilton. I agree completely about how the software should be the number one priority. Keep it up!
Great Video, Hamilton! Very informative!

your videos are a godsend! could you share some info of the worktable itself you mounted the Onefinity to?
Your machine looks great!
Love my cnc4newbie machine. Almost went with onefinity but really wanted uccnc interface and their controller. They're releasing auto tool changer a d have up to 5x10 beds. Anyways Have great day

HA! I just realized my sticker made it into the video 😄
As always great informative video! Please tell me you have a holder for your game pad!
Hey, not sure how I've missed this. I actually dont, lol! Know someone who makes them? :)
@@HamiltonDilbeck How would gluing magnets to it work, then hang it on any metal surface?
Can´t wait for the Onefinity to arrive but 600€ shipping was really painful...
Oh wow, but it will be worth it!!
Awesome video! Unpopular opinion, I think T-Tracks are a waste and at the very least everyones first waste board should be a flat sheet with nothing on it except for maybe a vertical and horizontal reference piece.
If three of us including the video creator think t track was a bad decision then is it really unpopular at this point 😂😂. But I agree
Going to leave here in a few and get lunch
If you had to do it all over again would you have gotten a larger CNC? Avid?
I think about this every now and then. I personally don't think that the Avid is 2x or 3x better than the Onefinity for what I do. I would get 2 onefinity machines before an Avid. But then again, I don't have one! Maybe they will send me one and I can put them side by side and see!
@@HamiltonDilbeck thanks for the info...I would love to get into the cnc game, but I haven't yet.
Hamilton, Could I download/install OneFinity software and to see if I am able to learn how to use it before buying a OneFinity?
Onefinity doesn't sell or make design software. A easy free software is Easel, I'd check them out.
what about a 4th axis!?
I wish there was a tool changer for this machine
same here!
3 moth backlog cant get one
I waited 6 months for mine. Totally worth it.
You drilled that metal door and did not deburr??!! Unsubscribed!!!!!
