Onefinity Woodworker vs X carve 1000mm // Best CNC machine to buy?

Рет қаралды 250,018

Күн бұрын

In this video we will compare the Onefinity Woodworker vs. the Inventables X-carve. I'll go over the pros and cons of each machine and hopefully help you decide which CNC is right for you! Hobbyist CNCs are super popular right now and there are more options each year! What one should you buy?? I can't tell you what machine to buy, but I do own two of the most popular cnc router machines on the market! Hopefully my breakdown helps some of you. If anyone wants to send me a Shapeoko or any other comparable machine I will gladly put that to the test as well! 😂

Now listen here... that was entirely too clean, informative and well prepared for a KZfaq vid. Not once did I feel I was wasting my time. Really high production value, you earned my follow and like, as well as probably sold me on the Onefinity. (Considering doing a vertical wall mount!) Keep it up.

I have been in the wood construction industry for 40 years and purchased a Onefinity a year ago, running V-Carve Pro. I am computer literate but have never had any dealing with CNC. I spent a month learning the software in my spare time and the machine was easy enough to not require much time in learning the operations. This machine has made such a change in my shop, the options are unlimited and left to your imagination from that point forward. I am in the process of funding the purchase of 2 more machines to ad to my shop. I know they have a 4X8 system that is my plan as well. Thank You Onefinity and V-Carve Pro.

Best acuracy test I have seen was the operator made a 2 meter ruler with mm on one side and inch on the other and then put it next to steel rulers and it was off so he went into the software Mach 3 and measured the over all length vs what he was trying to achieve and the second attempt was dead on. he did it in both the x and the y axis. It was impressive.

@grantjohnston6152 2 жыл бұрын

Disclaimer: I like your videos. There are many factors that contribute to chatter from feed/speed rates to condition of end mills, from carriage positioning mechanism(belts, lead screws, rack and pinion, etc to overall machine set up(maintaining bolt torque, parallelism, etc.. independent of all of that is fixturing. I have a CNC Mill and have learned that fixturing is among the most important elements of obtaining a quality finish. While CA glue and masking tape is quick and easy, and may seem to take a significant amount of force to remove, it is NOT a direct replacement for mechanical fixturing. One can spend more time using mechanical fixturing at the front end and potentially less time on the back end sanding out the chatter. Side note - seeing your table move around (4:53) is EXACTLY what you don't want. The motion/energy created by the servo motors is intended to move only that XY axis, if it is moving the table, you are losing resolution. You might say you were only quickly jogging the machine around the table but that doesn't matter, you WILL lose resolution.

The deciding factor between X-Carve, Shapeko, and Onefinity for me is the ease of set-up and that includes the durability of rails vs belts. The extra couple hundred in price is worth the 'idiot-proof' factor. Being disabled it can be difficult to move around little screws and guidewheels while fighting to tighten the belts. Seeing a KZfaqr actually stand on his machine makes me think that the OneFinity is the most durable starter I can get into.

Awesome comparison/info video. All you're videos are really good and I'd already made my mind up about getting the Onefinity as soon as I saw your first video and it's construction. Seeing you're feeds and speeds for the Onefinity would be like another Xmas gift!! PS; I've been running my employers ShopSabre 48 Pro ATC since he first purchased it November 2019 and it uses ball screws for all 3 axis. We grease and lube the machine at the end of 20 hours machine run time without fail. I test the machine's x & Y axis with a machinist's dial indicator once a month and it's still +/- .001 after 1 year. I do use Vectric Aspire and Solidworks/CamWorks to generate tool paths (Solidworks is much easier to actually see what your creating than Aspire for me at least and what I've spent years learning/using as a CNC machinist.

Onefinity sent me the machine a while ago and has never paid me a dollar nor asked me to make any KZfaq videos on the machine. I was a beta tester befor the machine came out and in return for testing the machine I got a production machine when it was available to the general public. I did pay full price for the x carve.

thanks for a great video. i've got multiple cnc 's as well. and everyone ask the same. i've found that wood, and bits affect my cut speed more than anything else, going from machine to machine. I do have the air cooled 220 spindle on my onefinity and really like that. I would like to see some tips on stepover and depth of cut to go with feeds and speeds. Also maybe a bit video, on bits you like and what you get good cuts with vs bit life.

my machine arrives late Feb. time to make a table, any info on your build dimensions would be appreciated. looks simple and clean.

@TwoMooseDesign 3 жыл бұрын

ohhh thats exciting! I'd say 48 deep would be a bare minimum, then for length it depends what you want to do with the controller if you just want the machine on top 50x50” would be plenty, if you want the controller next to it 50x60” would be ideal. I used a 3/4” piece of mdf and put a 2x4 frame around it pretty much getting me to 52x52”. The table the machine is in in the video is 50x50” the beta machine was slightly smaller than the production model. When I sell the x carve the production machine will go on the x carve table which I made bigger for this machine.

Thank you, I see the subscription cost now. I am still on the fence since it is an investment either way between the two. It seems the Onefinity has more useable workspace, has more stability, is more time-efficient, has less assembly and maintenance, but doesn't have particular accessories that the X-carve has with respect to dust, waste-board, and a router. Before this video, I had no idea the Onefinity existed, so I am second guessing my X-carve decision, which I have not made the purchase yet.

@TwoMooseDesign 3 жыл бұрын

It makes the carve set up process easier. It tells the Cnc where to start cutting. If you don’t have one your essentially “eye balling” it. With the probe, you plug it in and the machine figures it out on its own vs. you manually setting the zero of where the machine will start if that makes sense 😬

I don't understand. I spent 6k on an Axiom machine and the results are better than what I see here but still not great. How do you make 10k selling products off those machines? Does no one care about the results? Am I way overthinking this? I expect perfection from a CNC machine.

@TwoMooseDesign 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t understand your question? I sell a variety of items. I make at least $2000 a month with simple engravings. Simply engraving a name into a tray or making a catch all tray doesn’t require perfection. Any machine can use a 90 degree v bit and perform well it may just take longer.

I bought the X-carve and I honestly have mixed feelings about it. It took me 15hrs to complete it but I also agree with you, now I know how it’s all built... that being said.. the onefinity is way quicker to put together and you probably don’t NEED to know 100% of how it’s put together to know how to fix it or maintain it. Also the fact that the onefinity doesn’t have belts is a HUGE plus. I’m assuming the onefinity is much more accurate because of this. I just wish the onefinity was in stock!!!!
