First Project: Surfacing QCW Wasteboard on NEW Onefinity Elite Foreman CNC

If you have a new Onefinity Elite or have one coming soon, I made this video for you. I aim to show what to expect once your new CNC is assembled and ready to use. And if you're from a Shapeoko background, like I was, I hope to make the transition easier for you than it was for me.
Learning a new machine is always nerve-wracking, especially when it costs as much as this one. So naturally, you don't want to screw something up right off the bat. I hope this video will ease your mind about those crucial steps with your new Elite and help you avoid some of the more common mistakes that come with learning a new machine.

I’ve had a Bob’s, an X-Carve and a Shapeoko. I can tell you without hesitation that this Onefinity is in a class of its own. Do you currently have a CNC?

@boliu9608 10 ай бұрын

Which Shapeoko did you have? The Shapeoko 5Pro looks extremely promising with linear rails compared to the Onefinity. @@MitchellsWoodwork

@MitchellsWoodwork 9 ай бұрын

@@boliu9608 I had the Shapeoko Pro XXL. My main reason for changing was the need for a bigger cutting area. I too looked hard and heavy at the SO5 Pro, I was a Shapeoko guy. But after doing a lot of research and comparison, I just felt like the Onefinity was clearly the better, stiffer, and heavier duty machine. Now, two months later I’ve never had one second of regret. There really is no comparison between the Onefinity and Shapeoko. Just being honest.

First thank you for your videos. Ive watched a lot if not all. Im experiencing the same connections delays in the masso link. I've tried this. I've tried deleting and reinstalling it, and i made sure im on the same band, and still after hours pc reads "connecting" masso touch reads "connected". AI couldn't help. Any suggestions?

@MitchellsWoodwork 6 ай бұрын

I'm still looking for the solution, too. When I find the answer I'll definitely share it here on KZfaq.

@sdasherx 11 ай бұрын

Good idea to remove the tool setter just incase. It looks like you almost had another problem at 12:30 with the back of the hose getting hung up. Did you make the tool path with the Masso? That's how I made mine for surfacing.

@MitchellsWoodwork 11 ай бұрын

No, I just made the tool path in VCarve as usual. I don’t know how to create tool paths in Masso, didn’t even know it was possible! Good eye with the hose tangle issue, but I corrected that problem right away. 😉👍

@billmurphy7310 9 ай бұрын

I noticed in some of your history you mentioned previously having a Shapeoko Pro. What was the main reason you switched to the Onefinity Elite and what was the biggest learning curve lesson? I enjoyed your wasteboard video.

@MitchellsWoodwork 9 ай бұрын

@billmurphy7310 Good question! The main reason i wanted a new machine was the need for a larger cutting area. The biggest learning curve is the Masso controller on the Elite machines. It’s like starting over from scratch, especially if you were used to using Carbide Motion, like I was. But it’s so worth the time it takes to learn how to take full advantage of all it’s capable of. I’m 2 months in and have been sharing everything I’ve learned so far. Lots more to learn but it’s really exciting to be able to work with a machine and software that is truly best in class.

I finally got my elite foreman assembled and ready to surface my spoil board, what program or where did you find a surfacing program? I also got the 2 “ bit.

@MitchellsWoodwork 3 ай бұрын

I use Vectric VCarve Pro. Just watch this video and other surfacing videos until it starts to “click” for you. I’d suggest just doing some basic quick projects (squares, circles, etc.) on scrap lumber until you get to know your setup better before making permanent changes to your spoilboard.

I am sitting here with an Elite Foreman in my cart. I can’t find anything on why I should spend the extra $450 for the QCW. I’ve enjoyed your videos so I figured I could get an understandable explanation from you.

@MitchellsWoodwork 4 ай бұрын

Honestly, I’m not sure I’d order it again if I had it to do over. It’s fine but I hate the 8” spacing between the T-Tracks. If it had 4” spacing like my Shapeoko Pro XXL wasteboard I’d recommend it. But as it is, my advice is save that money for a spindle and VFD.

@wraven7974 4 ай бұрын

Oh… the PWN cart is also loaded and has allocated funds! Thank you. (I’m sure I’ll use that 450 quickly once I’m up and running and discover why I “need” add ons.) Plus I imagine I’ll be using some to buy you a few coffees.

Can you make a video showing all the acessories you bought and why. CNC newbie here, doing my research before I buy. wow that spindle setup cost $3,700? To get started do i need it, or should i get some experience and just buy the makita router?

@MitchellsWoodwork 7 ай бұрын

My PwnCNC spindle kit is $974.00, including the 220v 80mm water cooled spindle, pond pump with 30’ Superthane tube, and Kool Connection hose adapters. I started with a Makita router on my previous CNC’s and did lots of great work with it. The spindle kit is so much nicer, but it’s certainly not a necessity. At some point I may make a video on my setup, thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!

Hi Mike, thanks for watching! In VCarve Pro I just created a square that matched the dimensions of my wasteboard, then set up a pocket toolpath to run .02" deep. The only thing I'd do different the next time would be to run it as a raster cut instead of an offset cut.

Mitchell .. when masso is in the middle of carving can you stop the job ( for what ever reasons.. walk away ) and start it back from start point......

@MitchellsWoodwork 5 ай бұрын

Yes, there are three external buttons on the Masso. E-Stop, a red “pause” button, and a green resume button. The machine will pause and then resume where it left off. There are so many other features that put the Masso truly in a league of its own in the hobby CNC market. There’s nothing else even close.

Man I love your videos. You are showing all the things I am going through to get my machine up and running. I thank you for that! So when you load that other bit, does your masso show the wrong tool loaded until you run the program or is there a way to make it show that tool loaded? Or how do you tell the masso after the manual tool change what tool is there now?

@MitchellsWoodwork 16 күн бұрын

Great question! The #1 rule is to never change or load a tool until prompted to do so by the Masso. By doing this, your Masso always knows which bit is loaded. Thanks for watching!
