Hello, I thought I would check in as a new user. I just ordered a Journeyman, control box, and touch display from 1F. I also ordered a 1.5KW air cooled spindle and VFD based on info I gleaned from reading the forum. I am an experienced cnc router user having run a Shopbot PRS alpha 4’x8’ in my shop…

Butch, Welcome to our wonderful team. Given the work history you have shared it will be difficult to offer suggestions. As you continue to accessorize the cnc router. I would recommend purchasing from onefinity when ever possible especially items that interface with the controller. This may help wi…

Thank-you for your reply. I am always open to suggestions. I do have a lot of experience with one CNC machine setup but have zero experience with Onefinity. I see some really clever people on this forum that have made innovative solutions to technical challenges. I welcome any guidance given with re…

I am new to cnc but have over 40 years experience in woodworking. My shop has a 5 hp Oneida dust collector and I have been very happy with its ability to help maintain a healthy work environment. I also have a couple shop vac’s. I am not sure how a shop vac would hold up with a long run. I am sure y…

I’m not sure yet as the shop I’m setting up now is temporary. We are buying a new house and I will build a separate 20 x 30 out-building for a shop.

Yes! (you can use any screen with an hdmi for video…like a70" tv if youd want! no…but some models will not work…the one we sell is confirmed to work (or the alternate one on our faq section) Onefinity does not support drag chains. They can introduce bug creating emi.

Hey Leader, [image] OnefinityCNC: […] drag chains. They can introduce bug creating emi. I would be interested in what evidence supports this thesis

From what I have read on the topic, my guess would be when power (router/spindle) and signal cabling is in close proximity, such as when bundled in a drag chain. Given the prevalence of drag chain use on CNCs and other industrial equipment, I would think quality cable, appropriate shielding, and cor…

[image] Butchbal: I would like some suggestions on additional accessories you guys reccomend to get my rig up and running Check out @RowdyRoman 's stuff. He makes a variety of nice to have accessories.

Hey Tom, you mean when someone comes up with the idea to combine this trim router with its unshielded household appliance cable with a drag chain? I don’t hope anyone will do that if they have to choose a new cable anyway Use shielded cables to avoid electrical interference. Not doing so might …

I think that is exactly the problem. I have learned a great deal since building my controller enclosure, and the topic of proper cabling, shielding, grounding, ground loops, etc was constantly stressed in all the industry supported documents I have read. I really enjoy learning about all of this (yo…
