The deepness of the cut is definitely the difficulty for any of these style boots which are abundant on the market. The boot's body will hit narrow/deep walls making it almost impossible to utilize this type of boot. Narrow but very deep (5-6in) presents a whole lot of design challenges and will be very difficult to setup anything existing boot design. If it were me, I'd setup air spraying at the bit and helping keep the chips away from the cutter, as well as an enclosure or some other machine-size containment for the dust and clean-up afterwards.

@@PwnCNC Yes, so you see my issue....for now because the pocket cut is limited in size, the solution is to hold a shop vac end near the pocket while cutting...an enclosure in my particular case will not work...when I have completed my proof of concept case for the work I am doing, will post a video...

For the Masso controller, the one we've researched the most and for sure certain it'll work with the ATC very easily, only the Onefinity Elite and Mill Right's Mega-V2 have the Masso Touch controller. The cnc4newbie machines are also tested to work with the ATC, however the documentation for their controllers is still being worked on. We are working on a Masso Touch conversion kit that can be installed onto any CNC machine, but that is not yet ready for purchase.

We're working on a few options but nothing has solidified just yet. Currently our recommendation is to look into RowdyRoman's tube-clips. They're decent. Another option we've found is UglyDog has a "larger cable chains" upgrade available which might work well, although i have no experience with either solution.

We have designed a few options, can you describe which 4" product you're wanting to change to 2.5"? there are a few and different adapters work better for each situation.

@@PwnCNC I ordered the 2.5 inch dust port for the spindle I have on the way. Mainly to accommodate existing connections. But the HF dust system I have is a bit weak and I was thinking I may have to go to 4" at some point. I ordered the V10. Can't wait for it all to get here! I am slugging through with an original X-carve!

There are hundreds of hours spent on the overall product and specifically the enclosure design. This enclosure has allowed us to extract every bit of functionality and thus give customers the best experience with our spindle systems. Even our upgrade path to an ATC was thought hard on how to offer. We believe in this community and invest in it.

Yes exactly. Great news though… I’ve determined how to trigger the “forward” function when the rpm command from the controller goes above a minimum value. This eliminates a step currently required by the controller because of the lack of a forward trigger relay. We’re documenting this new setting and excited to get a video to show the full feature.

@@PwnCNC the warthog whisperer...

@@MG6Makes Our inlet cable for warthog controllers is called "pigtail" for a reason... LOL. pwncnc.com/products/pigtail Of course graduating from University of Arkansas... we are the home of the razorbacks... pig central ;-)

@@PwnCNC ROFL

@@PwnCNC at least you are still SEC bubba! Geaux Tigers!

Indeed it is. The chiller is more than sufficient for cooling the spindle during long carves.

@@PwnCNC Thanks for the quick reply.

It really depends on your conditions. With air compressors… pulling conditioned air causes less condensation inside the tank. In my conditioned garage, I have a dehumidifier running constantly. Under these conditions I’m producing pretty dry air coming from my compressor. An air dryer is still recommended even the smaller kind. Something is better than nothing… my something is the dehumidifier.

It is definitely coming. The summer crew has ramped up working which relieves me of a bunch of stuff I was doing personally. Relaxing atm doing some much needed personal honey-do items then I’ll be recording more videos.

@PwnCNC That's good to hear (not the honey-do part). 😁 Enjoy your relaxation.👍 Looking forward to the Yellow Friday sale too.

changing tools in the MDI screen is as easy as using the g-code commands. Tx is the tool command. so to change from whatever tool is in the system now to tool 2... enter T2. But the controller won't actually execute that command until you also give it the M6 command. So all-in-one... use T2M6 to go from say tool 1 to tool 2. to move from tool 2 back to tool 1, use T1M6 To understand more about how the Masso controller does tool changes... checkout their video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsV0gcumlZzDnZs.htmlsi=DELM_4ne6D6wD1zw

Hello, unfortunately at this time we only offer the CW-3000 chillers in 110v. We will look further into having available stock for 220v.

There was a mistake in gathering the parts for several of our ATC customers. Please reach out to [email protected] and we'll get the correct 6-pin VFD control cable shipped to you asap.

Totally understand your frustration mike. currently our oldest spindle order is sitting at 9weeks and we absolutely hate that. It seems the Chinese new years has thrown our fulfillment into havoc. We make better engineers than supply chain managers. We thought we were doing good by putting in very large orders trying to anticipate sales but it just didn't work out. Now our orders are getting bigger and more frequent so we can try and prevent these sorts of delay in the future.

@@PwnCNC I totally get it. I have a small woodworking business, and I'm trying to keep up with orders as well. If only you had a crystal ball right?!? ...The only reason I ordered from you was because of Garrett Fromme, and his great review of your product. I just really need to get moving.

@@PwnCNC resolved! Now it's 2-4 weeks :-)

This is more of a personal preference and greatly depends on what you're planning to cut. Checkout this article for more info: support.pwncnc.com/kb/article/63-cooling-options/

Thank you. A proper ATC System is an extremely popular desire of so many.

Hello Johnd5542... that 4-pin is for the tool-setter. It's available on our site as part of purchasing that product. The ATC comes with the required 5-pin connector... so no worries there. The ATC uses the already installed 6-pin connector we asked Onefinity to add to their machines... and the 5-pin we include with full instructions and assist with installing if you need it.

@PwnCNC Thanks for the fast reply. Thats what I thought. So the ATC system comes with the tool setter, or just the connector? Im in the process of building my atc and I dont have a pwn tool setter. However, I did buy the Ez from 1F. Will that still work with Atc? My guess is no, or else you would have just used the 1f 2pin connector. Im new to cnc and theres not much info on the atc. Everything kind of assumes you are converting to atc, with prior knowledge. Im a complete noob. There was a lot to learn just to get setup, and a ton still left to learn, lol.

@@johnd5542 The tool setter is actually a separate accessory that isn't really required. You can certainly use their tool setter vs ours. We design accessories for a variety of CNC machine brands and made that one available for those folks with Masso controllers "not" on a Onefinity branded machine... however it can certainly be used on the Onefinity if you wish. Yeah... not much info because I think we're amoung the first to come out with a viable low-cost (compared to other way more expensive options) ATC for any brand cnc machine. Our goal is to share our knowledge and bring some pretty cool features to folks no matter the machine they own. There is most certainly a ton to learn... stick with it though. Once you find something you LOVE to make it gets exciting and it can really be a side-gig that makes you money; if you are enjoying it that's a bonus.

@PwnCNC Ok, makes sense. I figured the tool setter would come in handy in certain situations. Ya, it's been a bit challenging and sometimes a bit overwhelming. But I can say PwnCNC has made this endeavor much easier than other options available, while providing high quality gear. Not to mention the phenomenal customer service. As a small biz owner, I can really appreciate the effort you guys put forth to take care of your customers. A+

@@PwnCNC HI ,,, do we not need to use the 6-pin connector ??

Hello @ddsGarmin, we've published the inventory here in our kb: support.pwncnc.com/kb/article/406-air-compressor/ The compressor needs to supply 95psi regularly. You'll likely need to run it through a dryer because you don't want wet air going into the motor. After the dryer, it'll need a quick-change receiver since our ATC System ships with a quick change end on the supply hose provided.

Unfortunately not at this time. They've widened their Z carriage and made it even more difficult for me to design z-independent bracketing for the Shapeoko 5 Pro. I just replaced my "4" Pro with a 5 Pro and now the race is on. I've just attached an ATC to it and dust boots are definitely on the to-be-solved list. instagram.com/reel/C5tpj7LgT31/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Congrats on being the guy noone likes.

The original Onefinity's blackbox controller does not support ATC functionality. However, you can certainly install our ATC system onto the machine and use it in MTC mode. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6x_nraLspqudac.html This is actually how anyone can use the ATC assuming their machine can handle the additional spindle weight.

great question, maybe. Our G-Penny spindles come with M8x1.0mm threading on the water-lines. If yours are similar, then it'll work. I do have a few sets of M8x1.25mm cool connectors from a very early order if your motor happens to be this threading.

@@PwnCNC ohh i didnt realize you use g-penny mine is a 2.2kw G-Penny Spindle er20 so ill assume that its the same as yours? ill be ordering a set for sure if this is the case

G-Penny is awesome to deal with IMO. They're very responsive to me... sure due to the purchase volume, but seeing as we have our customers best interests in mind it allows us to push for features and ensure high quality for the products we sell. A while back i wrote up an article which gives great detail into our goals and vendors: support.pwncnc.com/kb/article/182-why-should-i-buy-a-spindle-system-from-pwncnc/

To get an ATC spindle this small only water-cooled is available. Bonus is our water cooled ATC motors are metalworking 4-pole with ceramic bearings capable of carving mild steel.
