It’s on the site now and the ER11 on the 65mm handles 1/8th & 1/4th. Meanwhile, the 80mm handles ER20 1/2th, 3/8th, 1/4th, & 1/8th.
Now the big question is do I pony up for the 80mm z-slider, since I’d need that if I ever do the IPP upgrade anyway. Hmm…
Why hold out for a water-cooled version?
Water cooled are quieter but they did state that Onefinity will not currently sell a water cooled spindle.
Yes quieter and also no air to blow fine dust around when I start a several hour long carve and go to bed.
Hey Onefinitycnc,
where can I read the VFD manual?
Hey Michael,
usually besides bigger ER20 collets for bit shanks up to 13 mm (1/2") (vs. ER11 collets for bit shanks up to 7 mm (1/4")), a 80 mm diameter spindle usually has a better efficiency than a 65 mm spindle even with same power rating. That means for the same mechanical power delivered at the shaft, the electrical power draw is lower with the bigger motor diameter. Also the axis is stiffier.
They didn’t provide noise measurements but you can hear the difference here: https://www.youtube.com/live/Wy9lmPEVFpM?si=KLXwYrtspVUSt4HX&t=1264
ER20 can handle.500 to .030 bits using collects.
Come on lucky day 5… let it be a 4x8 upgrade…Just going to make my own now
It’s an adapter for BB. Check out their IG

At 9:23 of the live stream Stone says the 65mm spindle comes with an ER16 collet that will go up to 3/8" dia. shank.
Launch Week Day 4 - Onefinity Spindle Kit by Redline CNC
I can find no info on the Onfinity website to verify.
The Redline website lists the 65mm Onfinitiy spindle and specs it at ER11 collet:
Onefinity Pro Series - Air Cooled, 1.5Kw (65mm DIA) Plug & Play Spindle
Can anyone verify what the specs on the Onfinity 65mm is?
Can these spindles be run counterclockwise and clockwise? Some third party spindles say they can’t (including the one I’m currently using). Although it’s somewhat of a niche use, it would allow the use of something like the RapidChange ATC and that’s definitely of interest to me.
Also, does the 220v version just have the same IEC jack on the back of the VFD or is it a different connector to differentiate the two different voltages needed?
He was mistaken in the live, It’s er 11 and listed as such on the 65mm listing.
I’ve been looking for a suitable spindle lately, so this is good timing!
I’m based in Germany though (230 V, 50 Hz). Most appliances work fine between the 220 V and 240 V range, would this also be the case for the 220 V Spindles and VFD’s? E.g is it possible to purchase is with a type f plug?
It was an option for my Onefinity Woodworker, hence I’m asking.
Day 5 is the perfect pairing of the spindle.
Woot! Nevermind. I just saw the announcement of the team up between Onefinity and RapidChange.
You may be able to use any other common spindles but they wont be supported.
Hey Mark,
regarding the Onefintiy, you get the correct version for the country you live in.
Regarding the new spindle VFD offer, it seems to have a a C14 power inlet.
I’m rather worrying about fuse and emi filter size. In the video the 110 V version has a 15 A internal fuse, that is either a joke or it is impossible to draw the rated power from the device. A 220 V VFD for 2.2 kW spindle already draws max 22 A. with 110 V it would be 44 A.
110v spindles are 1.5kw need 13A peak have a 12 Amp slow blow fuse. 2.2KW are 220V and only need about half that or 7.5 amps peak. Approximate formula is watts/voltage give current.
