Hi, I got the foreman too with a water cooled spindle, I bought the PWN spindle before they came out with the automatic tool changer. Now if I want the tool changer it costs an other $2000 - $3000. So think about it if your going to change to a spindle and will eventually want a tool changer make sure you don’t waist your money like I did.
That’s awesome. I will definitely consider that. I haven’t made up my mind yet but was looking at the PWN spindles as well. I do appreciate the advice. Hope you are enjoying your Onefinity as much as I do.
I am actually looking at this and the xcarve pro. I keep leaning more towards this one, mainly because the hmi is like an actual cnc control. Being a cnc programmer in my day job, the look and feel of that control is more familiar to me. Keep us updated on your thoughts with this machine!
Yeah this is the first CNC I have ever worked on let alone owned and having the big display helps me understand more of how it work. The other types of systems that are just plug and go seem a little too detached to me. I wanted something I can watch learn and interact with while it operating. That way I get a better understanding of the function. It a little overwhelming for me as a beginner/novice but I am picking it up. I’ll do a few “Ah that’s how it works” videos of the controller.
@knotaproblem625 yeah having the control also helps you catch mistakes if your watching the code. Always remember most of your problems will be on take offs and landings. To cut from cut moves.
$4,924 total including shipping and tax. $5,024 if you brought the probe. Add 400 or so if you include the table and waste board with just a few bits and dust boot. Add 500 more for a basic PC setup.
I'm curious...I noticed that you didn't remove the stiffy bearing block and bolt it to the center rail bearing block before assembly. Is this intentional? Or did I miss something in the video? I'm expecting my machine soon and watching all the assembly videos I can find so mine will hopefully go smoothly.
Sorry I forgot to get that on film. I was quite frustrated at that point of the video because they assembled the stiffy rail and my guide block opposite (If that make since). But yes, I did disassemble the stiffy rail and bolt on the guide block from the inside of the assembly. Now that I'm typing it out and thinking about it, they might assemble it backwards to ensure you actually install it correctly. This could be one of those things that people first started doing it wrong, so this was their best first fix. Make everyone have to do and hour of research prior to bolting it together so you don't do it incorrectly. But good catch on my video. Sorry I wasn't very thorough. I chose this one because they say it was the easiest to set up, but things aren't always what they seem to be. Feel free to ask any questions when yours comes in and I'd be happy to help.
@@knotaproblem625 Good to know, I was worried about your machine :-) I think you are correct in that they put it on backwards to force you to take it off. Thanks for sharing.
That is awesome to hear. Are you also getting the Elite Forman 48x48? Anyways my table is 68 deep and 72 wide. That gave me a nice boarder around the front, left and right side.
Yes this is exactly what I want to buy and I’m restyling my workshop zone to build the cnc zone but as it is not big ( 1 and half car garage) I wanna be sure it fit. I start to follow you 😊.. cheers 🥂 from Italy
Yeah that was what I originally tried. The router body limits how low the router will go and the bits I have are only on average a 1 inch cut depth. I think with a spindle that has a full smooth body I could reach but not the router.
Congratulations. I’m sure you love yours as much as I love mine??
Rock on!!
I sure do. It’s been such a learning curve but it has been a lot of fun. Do you have the same one?
@@knotaproblem625 I have the Elite Journeyman.

You could always sell your spindle and VFD. They hold their value quite well and you'll recoup some of the outlay towards the ATC.

Thank for the info. I have been keeping an eye on the entire carves. But this is good info to know. @@coopersbarbecue

I will buy my first cnc too and this is also my choice. I’ve a question. Can you tell me the size (side by side)of your table where you put the cnc?

That is awesome. You are going to have so much fun with it. Super intuitive and gets easier the more you carve. @@cyphertrixo8683
Wondering why you needed two layers of mdf. Can’t you drop the router down lower ?
Yeah that was what I originally tried. The router body limits how low the router will go and the bits I have are only on average a 1 inch cut depth. I think with a spindle that has a full smooth body I could reach but not the router.
@@knotaproblem625 Gotcha.
$4690. Wish you luck with your new purchase and new channel.
