I need a shopping list for ordering my first CNC

Hey Scott,

@jscottsmith

I’d like to get what I need all in one shot rather than start out and keep running into roadblocks. For those of you ahead of me, what would you recommend?

Looking at the order page, I selected the X-50 Journeyman, and presumed I need the Onefinity Controller and 10.8" display. They currently are including the joypad, touch probe, and Carveco. (Is this much correct?)

What else do I need?

clamps?
wasteboard?
table/stand?
dust boot?
bits? (is there a starter combo set?)

I wrote this the other day:

@jscottsmith

Do I use a shopvac or will I need a specific dust control unit?

• Difference between a workshop vacuum cleaner and a dust collection system

I would not recommend the tiny touch monitor, except if you have very small hands and are younger than 45.
