Control box 220v

[Richie (Rich)]

I purchased the elite journeyman with 80 mm spindle mount. I purchased an air cooled 220 v spindle. Will i need to purchase a new control box for the 220 v or since i ordered the cnc with the 80 mm does the set up come with the 220v control box?

Hey Rich,

no, the spindle is not powered by the Onefinity power supply, but by its VFD. It is totally separate, just the control line for RUN/STOP and SPINDLE SPEED is the connection.

The Onefinity Box is always selected according to the country you live in (North America or International version), and powers only the CNC, and switches only a smaller vacuum and a router.

@Aiph5u

as you can see here, you get the correct version for the country you live in.

For the Original/PRO Series, the internal Meanwell LRS-350 36 V power supply has a switch for 110/220 V that is already set from the Onefinity factory.

For the Elite Series, you get a different power supply box if you are in North America and other girly power countries than if you are in the rest of the world. The international, 230 V version has universal sockets that can take the plugs in the variety of countries outside North America, like the European plugs like CEE 7/7 or the plugs used in the UK. For power input, both versions have a C14 power inlet.

If intend to use the Makita hand trim router as milling motor (which I cannot recommend), there is a special 110 V version for North America called RT0701C with a 0.25 inch collet that still has no anti-restart function (possibly soon to come), but outside of the U.S. you get the Makita RT0702C (710 W • 6 & 8 mm collets • 230–240 V • 50–60 Hz • 3.1 A) everywhere. Note that the RT0700C (without anti-restart function) that Onefinity mentions in their offers is no more available, and was replaced by the Makita RT0702C with anti-restart function that needs the hack to work with a relay like you will want when using it on the Onefinity machine. I own a Makita RT0702C that you can see here (but I don’t intend to use it for a CNC, it’s a hand router for short, hand-held use (thus its 65 mm diameter) intended to be used as a laminate trimmer).

Note that Makita Support stated that as soon as you mount the Makita hand trim router into a CNC machine, it has lost its warranty.

Thank you for the clarification.
