Nick, these are really good tips for a beginner. I am waiting for the delivery of my Onefinety machine. I will watch again and put tips on a pad for reference. A checklist so to speak. I am looking for your next instruction video.
In regards to digital calipers, buy once, cry once. I was dealing with the same battery issues with the cheap set I got off of amazon. I didn't want to deal with that issue any more, so I splurged on a set of mitutoyos. One of the best shop upgrades I ever made. The batery literally lasts for years and does not have the parasitic effect the cheaper ones do. Not only that, I haven't had to zero my mitutoyos since I got them. They close to zero every single time. That said, one of my other favorite sets of calipers is the starrett 1202F. It's a fractional dial caliper that has 1/64" graduations. Perfect for woodworking, no batteries to worry about. About metric, it's good. Simple and easy to use. The hard part is training your brain to recognize the common measurements; like how it's easy to visualize 12", but 300mm is foreign to most US builders, so it's more difficult to visualize. The best thing you can do is to not try to "convert" in your head when visualizing or working with metric. So 300mm is 300mm, not 12". Once you can separate the two mentally, you'll find it easier to visualize and work with metric. I know you said "you hate to admit it" about metric being nicer and easier to use, but really, it's not an "us vs them" situation. We were literally, simply born into imperial measurements. Had the USA adopted metric way back when, we'd be using it. I like it, and am trying to convert my shop to working with metric, but the simple fact of the matter is that our customers are typically imperial measurement minded. I appreciate your videos on the onefinity and CNC work, keep it up! I know you haven't posted in a bit, but I'll subscribe anyway to see if you drop anything in the future. Take care!
if you save the offset, you can type the gear next to it while homed, and offset that amount in with - sign in front and it will be ready to go. yours is 10 in x and 6 in y, home, don't move, so go to x, hit gear, type in -10.008, hit gear on y, type in -6.063. how when you hit the center button to goto xy, it will go to the previous spot. great video, love the tips and tricks videos.
Thank you so much for making these videos. First time I saw this cnc machine. I can't stop thinking about it. Such an awesome design. Dig all your information. Peace out Nick.
I've always enjoyed your helpful videos, Nick. I too burned up my first caliper battery. Every since that day I've removed the battery after each use. I'm pretty sure I have that same battery in my case for a few years now...or more.
Nick i went for your dust collection and don't have a 3d printer to make how you charge to make me one. I'm getting the x- 35 it's my first cnc trying to the things I'm going to need.
The actual boy can be purchased from pwncnc’s website. My additions are available on Etsy, but are only the digital designs. I know there’s places out there that will print designs and ship to you. I hope to print in the future but I don’t have enough time currently.
I sell the digital files but not a physical item. I hope to in the future but I don’t have enough time. I know there’s places out there that will print and ship your designs.
Thank you very much❤. You answered A lot of my questions, and your two videos and tips and tricks for beginners. I will be following you closely❤

Great video!! Plus I love your dust boot 👢!! Where did you find such a awesome thing?? Just kidding 😂 I am actually a employee of the awesomeness!!
Another great video. Looking to buy and really leaning on your opinion.

Do you sell the dust attachment . is it on etsy. Can you make me one please. Mike
