Hey Tom, hey all,
I know nothing about these business people, but the spindle they use was already mentioned a few times in this forum.
you may be interested to know that cncdepot.net introduces the RM Series spindles with introductory discounts.
Now you just have to retrofit a universal Z assembly to your Onefinity (or finally convince the Onefinity manufacturer to offer one), which would also be fine for using this or this (need no VFD!) (see also this video ).
I have hinted at this before, but Alex has ok’d the discussion. I have my Elite Foreman down with CNC Depot (cncdepot.net ) right now. They are putting a 2.2 Kw air cooled spindle, control box, ATC and a few other goodies. To quote them “High-precision, quality spindles, manufactured and supported in the Unites States!” I would advise you to take a look at the runouts they seem to me getting.
Basically, I am getting a very similar setup to the Avid configuration. I am in a CNC class at a community college, so I will compare it’s set up to a Haas.
CNC Depot has been around for a quite a while … Clough42 on youtube installed their spindle ~3yrs and seems quite happy.
I will certainly advise this group on the outcome of the project, including performance and costs.
My spindle/ATC are coming from CNCDepot.net . These folks have been selling an Avid kit for some time, and for even longer selling retrofit kits. Check out Clough42 on youtube.
Mine is the first 1F they are doing, and it is taking longer than estimated, but I would rather have it done right.
Carl and Lynn refers to this video series (they missed to make a youtube playlist of it). Haven’t looked at it yet (no need for U.S. spindles, I have enough spindle manufacturers in Europe
If you look at Sola Fide’s ATC video , it seems they did not really replace the Z assembly. But I think this would be easy as the Onefinity X carriage, when freed of the stock Z assembly, has a fine flat rectangular surface, ideal for attaching a universal Z assembly.
