I am carefully considering my path forward for updating my OneFinity WW Pro. My WW Pro is mounted on a QCW with the folding, rolling stand, which I love and want to keep as part of my configuration.
My preferred path is to upgrade my stand from the WW to the Journeyman to gain the extra width, and then purchase the G2E Journeyman (and sell my WW Pro).
I have seen some posts from folks who have upgraded their WW units with the upgrade kits (moving to the Redline controller and more powerful motors), and at least one comment about extra (excess) vibration with the upgrade on a QCW frame.
I would welcome feedback from anyone who has a G2E on a QCW folding, rolling frame and any comments on possible concerns with the increased speeds, vibration or rigidity of this configuration.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, haven’t had a chance to really run my machine yet, but I will say with the G2 Journeyman it seems somewhat tip happy when standing up from the weight of the new X size. I have not put my spoil board on yet, but I will be strapping it up when I do fold it…it’s heavy. There is a little bit of wobble when starting and stopping quickly, but again I don’t have the spoil board on yet, which will add some weight and ridgidity. Most of this was just jogging around manually. Overall I really like being able to move it easily, however I do wish there were a way to mount the wheels or add wheels so that the machine could be rolled sideways through a doorway. I was able to get mine through, but it wasn’t easy.
A couple of questions for you maybe
…have you noticed any loss of square after folding and unfolding or needing to re-fine tune for accuracy other than leveling. That is my major concern with this system. Getting it all dialed in then needing to move it and having to start from scratch. Not sure if I helped at all but the folding rolling stand is one of the main reasons I went Onefinity.

Thanks Jimmy. This is good info. The folding, rolling cart stand was a major reason I chose Onefinity as well. I have struggled with keeping the machine square, but I believe this has more to do with the “stall homing” (from my experiments) than it does folding and storing the stand, but I have also had some tipping issues (with the Woodworker model), so I am concerned about the rigidity of the frame as well. Square was such an issue for me that I had to abandon one of my use cases for MFT accessories. I am hopeful that the new homing sensors on the G2E will address this.

The one thing I don’t understand about the sensors on the G2 is why they are not adjustable, so even if your frame is slightly out, you can fine tune the auto squaring by adjusting one of the sensors
