- This is a review of the onefinity cnc router. Find out if it is over-hyped or worth the money! I will review the top 8 impressive features you will love, as well as 5 "sucky" features of the Onefinity cnc router. The Onefinity has changed my business for the better over the past year that I have owned it and I believe it is my responsibility to pass on what I have found beneficial and not to you.

I put an 80mm 2.2 K watt, Water-cooled Spindle and it works like a charm, no complaint. No Complaint on the dust chute too that is on a 4" to the 2 1/2' port ( sucks everything), and I never use any clamps only tape and crazy glue, or 22 gauge pins or vacuum table that I install on my Onefinity table under belly.
Awesome Robert! Thanks for the input! Did you purchase a vacuum table or make one?
@@twoelmbuilds I drill a grid in my plywood of 1/32" x 2" and box it out from underneath with a 4" melamine box with extra ribs and seal all with silicon. Drill a hole for a vacuum and voila. works like a charm as a vacuum table. plus on top, I have 3 different sacrificial boards for different projects.
@@robertmartin2968 I may have to attempt making one. I use the blue tape method most of the time and pin nails. I put in hundreds of brass inserts and I only use those for alignment and rarely to hold down my work.
I installed the 2.2kw on mine as well. It really is a beast.
@@JF32304 I have a feeling I will be making that purchase soon too. 😂
Best Onefinity review ever! Thanks, man!
Hey, Thank you! I appreciate that 👍
Very cool, Z. Corey told me about your channel here. It's everyone's favorite (former) warehouse guy. Glad to see/hear that you're doing well!
Awesome! Thanks. Nice to hear that you are still kicking!
Excellent pro/con video!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 👍
Hello friend, thanks for sharing your experience between the good and the bad.
Thanks for watching 👍
👍@@twoelmbuilds
I agree, this machine is a beast compared to others for the same money. I have done so many projects without any issues at all. I am currently using the Makita router and have never had issues (yet) but have invested and received my PWNCNC spindle kit ( not installed yet but very soon)that has the standard 65mm housing to bolt directly on the factory Onefinity mount as is However PWNCNC does offer an 80mm option spindle if you want bigger.
I am in agreement with all of your points on this unit and am also extremely happy with my choice to choose the ONEFINITY.
Thanks for watching Bill! I really love mine. Let me know how the spindle goes!
Thanks for your review.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video buddy 🤙🏻Just subbed.
I’m thinking to buy one in the future, now i have an mpcnc. I hope that for Italy the prices are the same. Greetings from Sicily
Awesome! You will love it! I use mine all the time and no issues. Just keep up the maintenance and take care of it. Thanks for watching and subbing 👍
Man, I like this cnc. It's very competitively priced and I loved your number 1. I'm in Canada and have similar concerns about temperature.
How much does it cost?
Thank you for a non sponsored review. The cons are things you can buy from after market companies. Multiple TH-camrs say to get your own monitor. You can also get an another spindle.
Thanks for the helpful information and for watching! I appreciate it 👍
The machine itself is awesome, easy to set up and maintain. I would highly recommend it for starting off. Consider their customer support. I had one good experience and one bad. The bad was basically being told to fix it myself. Apparently they did not like a customer having expectations of fixing the controller. Great Video
Thanks for sharing your experience! I appreciate your input! Thank you for watching too 👍
I've had nothing but positive experiences with Onefinity. They have great support!
For me, you talked me right out of it. The con's outweigh the pro's, even though you list 8 pro's to 5 cons. I'm in the middle of doing research for a new machine as I'm setting up a new shop for my retirement. Thanks for the info and you did a great job of being honest and straight forward with this review. All the best...
Glad the video did it's job and helped you make the right decision! It would suck to get something this expensive and have it not fulfill your shop needs! Thanks for watching! 👍
Great video!!
Thanks for watching 👍
Hello, fellow Minnesotan! Enjoyed your video. I'm a weekend hobbyist in the process of installing the Journeyman X-50 into my basement.
That's a great place to set it up, Kenny! I wish I had a nice temp controlled shop to build in! 😂 Is this your first cnc?
@@twoelmbuilds I purchased a small desktop CNC (the 3018 by Sain Smart) and have been playing with it for several months to learn some basics. The basement is still cold, but not as bad as the garage, but my basement ceiling is only 6 feet. I'm constantly banging into it. A shop would be nice.
@@kennybellew Are you going to be using your cnc for business or hobby? I had one of the craziest projects just take off and it paid for my machine 2x over in the past year... A silly step stool with a handle! I can't even tell you how many I made and even personalized in the past year. Find a project like that and you will have a shop in no time... Or be like me and just get more tools 😂
@@twoelmbuilds Not business, but "hobby" isn't right either. It's mostly to be able to shape my space the way I want and to create art, but who knows... The opportunity you found does sound exciting.
Nice review I have had mine for two years and it is still working great and I use it almost every day by the way I am still using my original router maybe I am lucky it is just going and going I run mine about 5 to 6 hours a day I have a backup router if this one quits
Thanks for the input! It is really helpful for people to hear your experience. Thank you 👍
Awesome! Glad you love it!
For sure! It gets used pretty heavy and still going strong! Thank you for watching 👍
Great Video... I'm Looking to purchase one ... That was some great info... looks like the drag chain is a must... along with the screen and 80mm spindle just for sound issues... Do you suggest not getting the screen with the initial purchase.... Thank You
Thanks for watching! I would not get the screen. It is small and just not worth it in my opinion. I did hear that onefinity has a larger screen available but I don't know the quality. I would just find a larger touch screen model online to order. I love my machine and I hope you do too! Let me know when you get it! 👍
FYI: you can use a mouse and a monitor or TV as well. I originally ordered mine with the upgraded touch screen, but they were out of stock so I was refunded the difference and it shipped with a 8" screen. After messing around with the and finding my aging eyes having issues seeing the text, I ditched the touch screen in favor of a 50" TV (which I have wall mounted above my CNC) and I use a cheapo wireless mouse. I like this better than the touchscreen.
@@Reign_In_Blood_963 thanks for the great information! I have a TV right above mine and never really thought about connecting it! I appreciate the insight! Thanks for taking the time to watch 👍
@@Reign_In_Blood_963 That's an Awesome idea.... thank you
Great video. I am wanting to purchase a CNC to start a small side business but haven’t, largely because I have researched it to death which has made me even more undecided. The Onefinity may very well be the machine for me. What is the learning curve for the software? I am a tech guy so I am assuming it is probably decent.
I use Vectric V-carve for the software, but there are a ton of options out there to use for Cad/cam software. I chose Vectric becauae of the huge amount of information available to learn the program. I have heard from many people that they chose fusion 360 because it works for lasers too. Something to consider if you want to use a laser in the future. I am savvt with tech and I was able to do basic design with vectric in the matter of a few days, but the program is so vast, I am always learning new things. As for the onefinity, I will never regret the purchase.
How necessary is the display system if I have a reliable laptop with reliable wifi? I'm talking about the optional 10.8" Hi-Def Touch Display. Thanks. - Fellow Minnesotan as well!
Nice to see another Minnesotan! If you want to use your laptop instead of the display, that will work just fine. The only concern may be having your laptop in a dusty environment part of the time . You could try to use it from another room, but I think you may get tired of having to go back and forth to the cnc to get things set up and stated. I think a touch screen really is the best option. If you try the laptop system, let me know how it goes! What are you planning on making with your cnc?
@@twoelmbuilds Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't purchased yet so I'll be a newbie CNC guy. Seems like there are tons of possibilities though. I think mostly decorations/signs for gifts and whatever the wife wants right!? Thanks again
How big of a table do you need for the Woodworker?
I made mine 60 inches x 60 inches with the controller mounted below.
This was a great review and you nailed all top features. Now on the machine downsides If have doubts on how you did to replace the cheap cables and if you decide not to buy the small screen then how do you connect to any other display, vía wifi or, hdmi connector? Greetings from the Caribbean.
Thank you! I don't know that there is an answer for those bad cable connectors unless you are handy with electic stuff (not me! 😂) as for the monitor, I will leave a link in the description of the one I have. The touch screen models will need a USB and an hdmi connection and then a plug in for power (sometimes a second USB for power instead). Do you currently have a cnc machine or looking to get one?
@@twoelmbuilds THanks.... I have a small CNC I bought about 3 years ago but at the beginning it was a challenge two learn that world that two me until last year how to design in Fusion 360/Easel and do what I want. Now, I am ready for the next step and OneFinity seems to be the best option at that price.
Awesome! Onefinity is a great option. I have not had any issues. I now have the larger journeyman upgrade and I am in the middle of shooting a video on installation. I am petty impressed with how much thicker and stronger the new piece is in comparison to what it already had. I am excited to make some bigger projects! I think deciding to go with the onefinity will be a great choice!
@@twoelmbuilds Don't you think that now your business is growing the Avid CNC 4x8 could be your next choice? Will that be the best choice at the long run? That what also got me thinking but I guess that will depend who organictly the business grow. Take care.
@@EduardoTorresDeMadera in my shop, a 4*8 would not fit. I have plans on a new home and shop. When that happens, I am 100% sure that I will get a Shopsabre CNC for my big production growth. I will use my onefinity for the more detailed projects and smaller "one of 's" projects. So you are correct that business growth and space concerns play a part in what to get. If big production is you goal, you may want to consider something with larger capacity.
The tech specs look good, but the long delivery time was a deal breaker for me, I settled for the FoxAlien vasto
Fast delivery is not their forte! 😂
I purchased a laser cutter/engraver to play around with because of the long lead time. Now I can wait.
@@gaiustacitus4242 I use mine every day
What software do you use
I use Vectric Vcarve Pro. I chose that because of all the information I could find on TH-cam when researching what to get. Also, I purchased a book by Randy Johnson called "CNC Router Essentials" and he teaches Vectric software. So those factor drove me to buying Vcarve Pro. I have been 100% happy with it. It isn't cheap but once I learned how to use it, it was well worth the investment.
@@twoelmbuilds thank you
I wouldn't mind having my spot in the garage back for my truck...
All I need is a big 'ol shop!
I have the X50 and the touch screen is horrible. I finally connected a laptop via hard wired and much better. The machine is a beast for sure.
Why is there two different cross sections - with three and two horizontal bars?
There is the smaller bed version, the x35 woodworker/machinists and it has thinner metal rails with three rails running across the x rail. The Journeyman x 50 is has a much wider bed and has heavy thicker rails. Since it has the larger rails it only needs two of them. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching! 👍
Also, since there are two Y gantries, that requires less for each, compared to the one X gantry, which is why it needs to be beefier.
This is really the best cnc out there …
I agree! 👍
That’s funny, any machine you have to put together like that is not going to be the best.
I was looking at Onefinity but between covid, lockdowns, and the new POTUS I didn't want to spend $2300 on a hobby CNC. I did have an extra $1300 so I got a LongMill MK2 30x30 and it is awesome.
I have heard good things about the Longmill too. Thanks for sharing! 👍
I’m torn between the 48” wide versions of The Onefinity and the Longmill. I’ve seen the video where Garrett rides/surfs on his X gantry, but I have the feeling the Onefinity is even more rigid? The biggest drawback for me on the X-50 is that the Onefinity controller doesn’t allow adjusting the feedrate on the fly. Does the Longmill? Thanks!

Yo
Not mentioning what you paid definitely means this is an ad
Not at all my friend. I am not paid by anyone. Sorry you felt I was trying to be candid, I just didn't want to say I paid $3000 for mine and then someone watches it in two years and it then costs $3500...I felt that was more misleading. I only wish I was paid for making this video but I did it for you so you know the quality. Trust me, if it was a piece of crap you would hear that from me. Again, I apologize if you feel that I mislead you.
FYI I paid exactly $2226.97 and that included tax and shipping during pre-order May 2020.
@@twoelmbuilds mines less than a month old I paid 4274 for the wood worker x50 model with the qcw frame and wall mount so no bench would be required but it has some issues. the qcw frame is nice but a lot of wasted space and the spindle is not centered front to rear. 9 inches unused in the rear of the work area. i know a cure but will require more dollars in paying a machine shop to produce the items for me. im considering it and if so plan to patent my idea and market it. I shared my idea with 1f thought they might make me a beta version for testing and make available for upgrade. so do some research pictures dont show nor do these guys videos of this issue with work space not being centered for the qcw frame. bout 350 bucks for the qcw frame if recall right.
and yes be prepaired to make all warranty repairs pretty much yourself thats how they work it. they send you to a forum to read a bunch of stuff and videos and send you the parts to make the repairs. which i like but for new machine under warranty no i dont like doing their job for them. I paid for a service thats on me more less. kinda bs in my opinion. had a connector issue kept me down and reading for a week full time day and night and nothing worked that they sent me to read and watch and then i hear user error bs. had to get down right ugly with them and showed them a complaint form i filed then they tell me oh its a wire. lol it was but was handled poorly in getting to the resolution. once they told me the truth I fixed it in 10 mins no videos no reading in their forum and ive not had an issue since. a pin got pushed back in one of the connectors i used a pair of thin nose pliers and pullled it back up into place but they did get right on sending me a new cable and it arrived in 2 days. I put it back for if the issue ever arrises again i have aback up. thats my big complaint on support and warranty and some of the flimsy 3d printed materials they use for the monitor arm and the wire clips for the y rails. they are junk. put a bumper sticker on a lambo kinda thing. Machine is rock solid though. I have made a few dumb moves and seen it plunge cut an inch deep into my material and it keeps right on truckin. makita struggles at that depth lol 100 ipm 1 inch deep 1/4 inch compression bit. full cut lol ooops lol you made a great video good job. im gonna have to upgrade to a spindle i think. I like the idea and the greater control with more power but idk do you really need it? user prefrence i suppose and probably will out last the makita router. im thinkingit over though lol right now I just wanna use the machine and not work on it after the experince i had over a stupid wire connector lol one day i could carve thought the forum answers were right and then boom couldnt even home machine lol itwas a mess to have to go thru to get to the root cause but shouldnt had been in my opinion. once you get orders youll wish you had 2 of them. one to fullfill orders the other to test your designs on and work out the bugs if needed lol and a bigger shop lol skys the limit on what you can make with these if you learn the software properly and they keep updating the design software with even more great tools to help you draw your designs and make your tool paths with. youlll have to study like a college course to learn it all. the software is they key and heart of every cnc machine router printer etc. without the software you might as well use a router and chisel and never make anything identical. my advice before buying any cnc machine is download the free version of the software you think youd like and learn it first then buy your machine after you learn how to use the software. sure glad that is what I done. or id still be just cutting circles and squares if anything at all. and youlll learn even more when you get the machine and actually put what you think youve learnt to use.
@@bubba6945 Thanks for the great info on your experience! I am glad everything is working right for you now. You hit it right on the head when you talk about the software. It is a lot to learn but it is what brings your imagination to life! I have been using Vectics Vcarve Pro and just love it. 👍 As far as getting a spindle, I have been weighing the idea pretty heavily. I like the idea of having a 1/2 collet for bigger bits if I want to use them. Other than that I don't think I "need" it. Lol Thanks again for checking out my video and sharing your experience! Greatly appreciated 👍
sure waste this onefinity machine only lot money, all same parts and little better can build DIY in home, need orden all parts only, and save money lot, less than 1200$ can build same machine, but better stepper motors and drivers and controller. waste lot money pay this 4000$ newermin stupid can pay and waste lot money.
