How to maintain your Onefinity CNC
Things you'll need:
3 in 1 oil : amzn.to/3bsFxi3
Metric Hex Key Wrench : amzn.to/3aHpxcS
A few old rags/towels.
After Ever carve/project:
Vacuum up all dust and chips.
After every 2-3 hours of operation:
Vacuum up all dust and chips. Use compressed air to blow off dust and debris from the rails and ball screws.
Every 1-4 weeks (or around every 200-300 hours of use):
Apply 3 in one oil into the oil ports of the ball screws. Jog the machine to it's x,y,z limits while applying oil to the ports in a few different locations. Wipe off any excess oil using a lint free cloth. Note: Cover your waste board with cloths or paper towels as the oil may drip.

Very to the point video
Your team at onefinity is awesome!
A few months back I bought a x35 woodworker. Second hand off a coworker. I love the machine. I knew absolutely ZERO about CNC at that time but thanks to your videos and some other YT 'how to' videos I am sorta ok at running the machine now lol. Always learning.
I recently purchased the dust boot from your site and it works well! No more dust!
Thak you!
Right on!
I'm looking forward to getting one of these. Of all the CNC routers I've looked at this is a REAL MACHINE. Nice job folks you nailed it. On top of all that 3 in 1 oil! OH I LOVE THAT SMELL!!!
We think you’ll love it!
"Use the towel to keep from getting oil on your tabletop"
Proceeds to get oil all over the tabletop...
I think you just convinced me to use melamine for my tabletop!
Lol, it's inevitable :p
@@OnefinityCNC would laying down foil wrap or plastic wrap instead of a towel make more sense? It should fit easily under each rail and still allow it to move and work in the oil. Just need to wiggle it in under the Y rails. The towel is probably fine in the spoil board area.
@@warrenbrown8670 Grab your Wife's favorite cookie sheet and put a couple paper towels in it to soak up the oil. :-)
Nick I used melamine for my table and worked out great!
@@warrenbrown8670: Is that what you ended up doing?
Thanks for the video. I am still trying to decide between this and the Shapeoko Pro. I really like the screw driven design here.
We think the ball screws and bearings are great!
Go with the Onefinity!
looks like fun cant wait.
it is!
Yeah I'm a bit weird I guess I remove both sides oil bolt, fill up both move, fill both and move again so I don't waste time doing them one at a time.
whichever way gets the debris out, go for it!
Thank you for the good video
Thank you too
Thank you for this awesome video
Our pleasure!
Love the vids. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Would have been nice if anyone would develop some sort of plate for the z axis/gantry that would allow fine adjustments, for tramming your spindle or router. I’ve just setup my Onefinity a couple of months ago, but haven’t used it for more than a few hours so far. Watching this video, I’m dreading for the moment when I’ll have to get to this kind of maintenance and take down the spindle. Was such a nightmare to get it trammed, especially because you have to get kind of lucky to get it trammed in both X and Y at the same time. But also because there is no fine-adjustment system in place to help with that. Sure, that process is on the gantry, not actually on the spindle. But it was such a nightmare that I’m even afraid to take out the spindle alone and mount it back on, what if even the slightest difference in tightening those bolts would result in needing to re-tramm? 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for your thoughts!
So I flipped my x-rail which means the port on that rail is blocked by the z bracket. Can I just slather some 3 in 1 oil on the ball screw and call it good or do I need to use the port? I would like to avoid removing the z bracket if possible because I have everything trammed in perfectly and I don't want to mess it up.
back out the ball screw and rotate it in the gantry block.
Very good video
Thanks for the visit
about how many hours of use between oil checkups?
Every few hundred.
Can this cnc be used with the makita 18v trim router instead of the 120v?
it can be used with ANY 65mm router/spindle.
Can you apply a thin layer grease with a brush instead?
Grease collects dust much more than 3-In-One.
We recommend 3 in 1 oil.
How often is it recommended to do this?
Every hundred hours or so.
is dry lube any good like wd-40 offers?
we recommend 3 in 1 oil.
