I think you missed the point. After of over a year using my x-50, looking forward to upgrades for the everyday user, I was hoping to see something for the rest of us. My stock z slider is just fine, alot of us have enclosures, separate lasers, etc. So, thanks for your input, again.
Alright. No worries. Sorry for challenging your opinion. Won’t happen in the future. Hope you find what you’re looking for.
Thanks,

Hey Espressomatic,
not necessarily entirely straightforward, as discussed here the other day
Sure you can fit something into the 80 mm mount. But how do you want to reach your workpiece (regarding the fact that the Onefinity milling motor mount doesn’t protrude down below the Z assembly at all)? You did not read the thread linked above?
Just going through all your suggestions. Wish I had the knowledge to put some of that together. I could only imagine a killer upgrade like that to my current setup. My original onefinity is great the way it is. To drop in a milling motor would be awesome. Not crazy about upgrades from china. A vfd with a good manual from a reputable manufacturer, I could deal with that also. My complaint was I was hoping for a game changing upgrade to my current onefinity. Thanks for all the info you supplied.
any news yet on the upgrade and trade options for us journeyman users?
DeWalt DWP611 80mm Spindle Mount Adapter can be found here.
Sorry to say but the Buildbotics controllers that Onefinity is/was using are not ready for primetime. I really think this is why 1F went the Masso route, but they are not out the woods with that controller either. I just finished adapting a Centroid Acorn Six to my X35 Woodworker CNC machine and cannot begin to tell anyone how excited I am with this controller. The homing with the proximity switches is absolutely fantastic, no more crashing into end stops, it’s jus great. The Acorn Six will read any gcode you give it. No More noisy stepper motors. Don’t get me wrong, retrofitting the 1F machine was no piece of cake, it demands a lot of research and work, but in the end it’s worth it.
What are the downsides to the Masso, I have been running mine for several months and couldn’t be more satisfied, I feel the same as you describe about the Centroid.
I did come from Mach 3 so the bar wasn’t very high to begin with.
Thank, Pat
2 things i miss from my shapeoko combined with cncjs.
Hotkey macro (i have made gcode files that accomplish the task, but its not the same)
Combined XYZ probe option
That being said, there is plenty of advantages over my other cnc
This is cool- do you have one that allows exchange of the 50 MM makita in the 80 MM mount- I am switching to the 80 MM Z-20 slider- but still have more than one makita that I would like to have available with various common bits - to serve as a cheap ATC - or maybe better stated a swappable tool changer.
I have not gotten into the 3d printing yet,
seems like a product that many of us hobbyists might enjoy…
Great quality part that should suit your needs David.
