Hey Derek! I have a OneFinity CNC. I couldn't be happier with it. It has been a game changer for me personally since I am a one man operation. I use the CNC to help me out in the shop, which frees me up to do other things. I recommend you check out my video on my very first CNC project using the OneFinity: th-cam.com/video/tkKBD4uaoQo/w-d-xo.html I had absolutely no experience at the time of making that video so you can get an idea of how quickly you will progress through the learning curve.
Thanks Craig! These were a ton of fun to batch out. I have actually batched out a few things recently using the CNC. It’s rapidly becoming one of my most used tools in my shop.
I feel like you buried the lead on this video with the DIY skillets 🤣🤣. Great job once again. I bet you are selling this stuff like hot cakes for Christmas.
got to say love your table saw way better than mine i might loose a finger and you will just get a nick also UltraPro Food Grade Mineral Oil, 1 Gallon (128oz), for Lubricating and Protecting Cutting Board, Butcher Block, Stainless Steel, Knife, Tool, Machine and Equipment, NSF Approved is what i use great stuff you can get like i do in 5 gallon buckets
i do sme types of batch runs. i use a spacer and you have to set it in your drawing and in your work area as you lay out the woodor material to cut. i probably am not explaing this well but think it thru it is really pretty simple. i use 3/4 mdf as my spacers . so in my drawing i space my designs 3/4 apart same as my material on the machines spoil board. hope this helps
Do you think you could get to the point where you are cutting 8 boards without having to zero the corner of each as you go? At least - it looked like you had to zero each as you went.
Great observation. Short answer: yes. Longer answer: because I was using shorter scraps for the 8 panels in this video I ended up carving each board individually for this particular run. Since making this video, I have done an additional batch run using larger pieces of wood to create a single panel and generated all 8 cut outs from a single "zero".
very good work thank you for charing this i tray to find the name of cnc machine you use in this video but i dont see that in link please if you can chare the link or ref erence of this machine i want to use that in my project thank you very much
Thanks for the video. When going from one slab to the next, do you have to tell the cnc where to start? Also, do the slabs have be square to the x and y axis
Hey Mauricio, in this video I did have to re-zero the cnc at each new piece of stock. However, since making this video I have created a design with multiple carves that is meant to be carved out of a single, larger piece of stock. Also, the stock definitely has to be square to the axis. I have X and Y grid lines on my spoil board that help me line things up. I made a video of cnc upgrades that walks through how I did it.
The best way I would recommend doing it (after doing a number of these "batch" runs) is to make a single piece of stock and create duplicate designs in the software so that the carving tool paths are all done at once. I hope that makes sense. The way I did it in this video is not the ideal way to do it because you have to essentially re-zero your X and Y for each piece.
How did you know where to set your stock without having to get your XY for each board? Looks like you just randomly placed them in the tape/CA glue. TIA
For this particular run since I was using scrap wood for the panels (and thus they were smaller), I did have to re-zero my XY for each board. Since making this video I actually did another run out of a single large panel using longer pieces of wood (e.g. not misc. scrap pieces) and I was able to run all 8 from a single Zero. I hope this helps.

Lucky. You’ve got all the equipment.
Very cool. I especially like the model cnc you have. The missus and I are still trying to decide if we want to go with a cnc. Thanks

Nice job Mark, good looking work and well done presentation!
Thanks so much for the support!
Great project! Love cooking with cast iron!
Thanks so much for the support
Can’t wait to cook something yummy on these!!!
Thank you for the support!
These are freaking incredible! Great work man!!
Thanks Chantz! These have been a big hit so far :)
Another great job!

Great work they are beautiful how do you get ca glue and painters tape to work i can never get it to stick
You have to use the activator with the CA glue for it to set quickly. When paired with the activator the CA glue sets within 5 seconds or so
love this

Hahahah, I was hoping that might get a laugh out of you!!

Great info thanks. One question - what method do you use to place the boards on the CNC so that XY doesn't have to be set for each board?
i do sme types of batch runs. i use a spacer and you have to set it in your drawing and in your work area as you lay out the woodor material to cut. i probably am not explaing this well but think it thru it is really pretty simple. i use 3/4 mdf as my spacers . so in my drawing i space my designs 3/4 apart same as my material on the machines spoil board. hope this helps
do a dry run simulation (no bit ) to make sure your drawing matches the work layout on the machine
Trabalho belíssimo

Hi Abdelaziz, I use a OneFinity and it can be found here: www.onefinitycnc.com/

Thanks. That makes sense
Awesome. Is this file on your store page?
Thank you. No, I dont have this file on the website :(
Do your customers complain about the position of the light color wood in relation to dark color wood.
How do you go about lining up the file(s) in the CNC program so that it perfectly cuts out multiple pieces?
The best way I would recommend doing it (after doing a number of these "batch" runs) is to make a single piece of stock and create duplicate designs in the software so that the carving tool paths are all done at once.

@@EigenDesigns Thank you and great job!
What did you charge for a set?
$45 each or $80 for 2. This is my all-in cost that includes the cast iron trays, shipping, materials, etc.
My wife walked by and asked why my shop isnt that clean?
Hahah, mine asks why I cant keep other parts of the house that clean.
