This is the best video on the internet on how to assemble a Onefinity CNC router. The Onefinity manufacturer should have hired you to demonstrate how to setup their product. The lighting, sound, camera/editing, and presentation was excellent. If it wasn't for the the cost, I would buy one.
Wow I really appreciate the compliment - thank you! 😃 I set a goal for myself last year to make enough from side hustles to buy a cnc machine. Gave me motivation to work towards it. If you want one, set some small goals and work towards them - you’d be surprised how quickly you can save for one!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this video. I just setup my Journeyman X50 and without this video, I am sure I would have been very frustrated. While OneFinity did well with packaging and personal touches, there was nothing to guide you along with the setup process. After the setup was complete, I did open the sticker package and found a card that in fine print directed you to an online manual. But with your video, i didn’t even need to check the manual. Thanks again!!!
This is awesome. I just purchased an x-50 and I’m feeling very confident in setting it up thanks to your wonderful guidance. Keep up the great content!
So if I could give you a thousand likes, I would. Thank you for making this video. I am about to pull the trigger on this machine and watched another set up video that while humorous, it was very disorganized feeling and I was beginning to experience serious self doubt. Your video took all of this and re-organized the chaos I saw in my brain from the previous video and now I'm excited again...lol. This is not a cheap investment, so a lot of consideration has gone into this for me, so again, thank you.
Wow that’s awesome to hear! I’m glad I was able to help and get you excited about this machine again! It’s a blast to use and once you get good at it, you’ll think of all sorts of ways to use it that you previously never thought of. Good luck with the setup! Let me know if you have any questions
Thanks! I appreciate it! Very happy with my onefinity, I recommend it to everyone. The elite series wasn’t out yet when I purchased this one, but I’ve got my eye on it for sure lol
Is it a case that this CNC machine’s accuracy will depend on how Flat and ridged you can make a table? Making a large and dead flat surface is not that easy. Please correct me if I’m wrong
To a point I think you are correct but that’s where the waste board comes into play (the MDF on top). By using a flattening bit on the waste board, you are flattening the work surface in relationship to the machine. Does that make sense?
Great video and welcome to the cnc community....it has been a true blessing to me. I've made a ton of friends who enjoy digital making out of a amazing amount of materials!!
Thank you, I really appreciate it 😁 I’m really looking forward to making all sorts of things with this machine - it’s been on my wish list for a long time!
I appreciate the kind comment 😃 and I apologize for not having the plans ready yet - been busy with the day job and havent had much free time, but I’ve been working on them little by little. Hoping to release the plans this weekend. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks again!
Just ordered mine, what comes with it? i know the router doesnt, I got the controller and the touch screen. did the tracks come with yours?I know i need ot make a spoil board too
The machine, screen, and controller (box with red emergency button) came with it. Everything else was either an add on or purchased separately. I have links to all the items in the video description 😁 That’s exciting! It’s such a great machine and fun to use!
I’m also planning to fix the controller on the right side of the table, I saw you put the Y1 cable on the left Y rail. Did it make any difference in machine functionality or it’s fine to have Y1 cable on left Y rail?
Increíble.... felicidades..que buena CNC....ya me dieron ganas de cambiar la mía.....dame tu información donde cotizar una CNC..como la tuya.... abrazos desde Colombia
Thanks for taking the time to help out your fellow creatives! I just ordered my x-50 and have very limited space in my garage due to many machines and tools. Can you tell me outside dimensions for this kit? Need to keep table top at minimum so I have room to move about.. er aboot since this machine is Canadian.
Glad to help! The outside dimensions of the rails are roughly 48" x 48", but that doesn't include the touchscreen or the controller box. If you go on their website and click on the woodworker x-50, the last image shows a few of the dimensions. Hope that helps!
Great video. Your set up is almost exactly like I envisioned my set up. Question: was it absolutely necessary to flatten the waste boards with a router bit? MDP is dead flat so I would think you can go as is.
Thanks! You'd think that MDF is very flat and consistent but there was about 1/8" difference from front to back. Not sure if that was the MDF or the plywood top or what, but I would run a flattening pass on the waste board - you might be surprised at the inconsistency. Thanks for watching!
😁 Here are my rough numbers: Woodworker X-50 (at the time) - $2,750 including the dust boot Accessories - $~750 All in $3,500 Accessories include dust boom arm, dust hose, vacuum, extension cables, t-track and clamps, Wireless controller, Router, MDF spoil board, as well as all the materials including casters to build the table it sits on. All the link are in the video description and also the description of this video as well -ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FcwAFKUHcY4.html - Where I build the cnc table. Hope that helps and doesn't hurt your argument for buying one! 😂
Thanks! This is the bit I used for leveling the MDF - Flattening Bit: amzn.to/3J0n1w7 Check the video description if there's any other accessories you're looking for 😃 thanks for watching!
Thanks! That edge is the part of the wasteboard that’s outside the limits of my machine’s cutting area. You could avoid this by making a smaller wasteboard, or by using a hand plane or sander to level the perimeter with the rest of the board. I just used a hand plane to level that out. Great question! Thanks for watching 😃
Question. Why mount the CNC to the table, then put channel and MDF down, then flatten VS. Putting a sheet of MDF down, mounting the CNC to that & the table, and using the CNC to route out the slots for the channel and flatten the MDF? Won't your method take away ~3/4" of z access and take a lot longer?
I am planning to buy this same machine and all the accessories exactly as you have done. Could you please leave a comment again with the links that you mentioned previously? I’m having trouble finding them. Thanks very much. Great video!
I don't think RU-vid likes adding a bunch of links in a comment (sometimes they think it's spam). But I have all the links listed in the video description - look right underneath the video screen and there's a box there that I start by saying "Today I run through my onefinity woodworker x-50 initial setup..." and there should be a "show more" button. click on that to expand the video description box and you'll find all the links 😃 Let me know if you're still struggling to find the links. thanks for watching!
@@DoingWhatever yes, sorry about the confusion. I was watching the video on my phone and since I'm over 50 y/o these things are hard for me to figure out. I've found it now. Great job on the description btw. I also watched the video you bade for building the table. It looked like the final size was 48x72 - is that correct? I'm wondering if I can build a table that is 48x48 and have the Woodworker x50 fit on it? What is the actual footprint of the machine? Thanks very much, Clint
No worries, happy to help! Correct, final size of my work bench was 48x72. You could get away with a 48x48 with a few inches to spare. Outside to outside of the feet measures just under 46" so it should work! Good luck with the build!
@@DoingWhatever after a bit more review I think I'm going with the Journeyman (32x48) just so I don't have to upgrade later. From what you said in the video I think that should still fit on the 48x72 table. Cheers!
@@DoingWhatever your very welcome, thank you for the video, I just ordered the cable pack and boom as well as the 65mm router light, all three items are going to be very valuable add ons thank you for sharing!
i reckon this is the best hobby cnc on the market but i hate how the steper wires for the y axis plug into the front of the machine and a hate how many cables it takes to drive the screen. Other than that id love to own this beast!
Cable management could definitely be improved, but from and ease of setup and ease of use aspect, I agree - this has to be one of the best hobby cnc machines out there. It’s a blast to use!
Obviously you either had a bad experience or your expectations are too high. This is a great machine at this price point. Customer service has been nothing but stellar for me considering how busy they are fulfilling orders and actually listening to customer feedback. What issues did you actually have? Blanket statements like POS hardly contribute anything to folks that are trying to make smart decisions. Try being more specific in an effort to validate your comment.
