I barely got my Masso delivered and hardly used it (still learning), and they come out with a brand-new controller designed uniquely for the onefinity machine? I don’t know if I should be impressed or teed off, but I am tending toward Rage! but first I need more information like what feature does it have will it be able to change “modes” to go from revolution to cnc and back again with like one easy click, and so on? will there be some sort of trade in on the Masso? etc. etc. etc. please don’t make this another waiting nightmare. ---

There will always be something new coming out at Onefinity 🙂 that doesn’t make what we you have any less than what it already is! What you already have is a top of the line Cnc with a great controller. ---

If what I have is top of the line, why then make a brand new one? Is it not better than what I have now? If so, then what I have is not top of the line is it? All I am saying is that I wish I had known that onefinity/ redline were working on a better controller (yes it looks and seems much better) with a far greater ability to update and support the machines and accessories we all have and love. I will be wanting it. 👽 So, Thank you damn it! ---

Ouch! Ok so here is my thinking on this. Masso does not give a flying fortune about onefinity users needs, wants, or concerns, and their history reflects that attitude. Redline seems to want to cater to what onfinity users desire. Onefinity will be a lot more involved with this controller enhancing their products functionality than Masso ever was. So yeah, it believe it will be better. I see a lot more potential for enhancements to Onefinity’s functionality than Masso’s history has shown us, but as always, the jury is still out. I just see a lot more positive potential in this arrangement. I would rather be positive than negative. ---

Hmm I just ordered a Masso upgrade/Redline Spindle for my Pro Journeyman two days ago, and am wondering when the official announcement with all the features/prices will be coming out? That Redline looks like it could be the best of both worlds. ---

> [@HardtailSr](#): > > I would rather be positive than negative. That made me laugh… 🤣 I just want to jump in to share my experience with Masso. Onefinity was the first CNC I has ever purchased and used, this was about 4 years ago now. I knew at the time I wanted a different controller, so purchased the Masso G3. My research showed it the best fit for my needs, and although expensive at the time, I have never regretted my purchase. I have been active on the Onefinity and Masso forums for about 5 years now. Much of that time has been seeking assistance and making feature requests on the Masso forum. From my experience Masso has done an excellent job listening to and addressing the wants and concerns of their users. I have of late been disappointed with the time delays between stable releases, but with each one numerous feature requests have been implemented. So as a Onefinity my experience does not your statement about their lack of interest in my needs or wants. Having said that, I am very excited to see what the new Redline controller offers, and am looking forward to seeing more details and some videos highlighting its functionality. ---

That looks like an amazing price considering I just dropped nearly the same for an upgrade/spindle/toolsetter/stiffy upgrade. I think I’m going to cancel my order and wait for this one. Onefinity, is there a list we can get on for the limited quantity packages that are listed? ---

I find this very interesting. I’m curious if it brings back the wired network connectivity, which I’ve missed since going from the Buildbotics to the Masso. I also hope it has the ability to use a pendant. I’ve also missed the Buildbotics web interface which is pretty cool and way more functional than the Masso Connect app. It will be great to see that again. ---

The video seems to suggest that they will. If you haven’t, there is a video linked mid-way through the thread. ---

conflating someone upset with what’s going on in our country and feeling compelled to call out a “willful abandonment of critical thinking” which was in fact not the case seems like a stretch. The video that I’m quite certain OP alluded to was pretty descriptive as to what the Redline CNC does that the Masso could not. You assuming this without watching the video is more of an abandonment of critical thinking imo, and neither really are. ---

You replied in such a way that was based on either conjecture or vitriol for no apparent reason. It’s one or the other, and either way it says more about how you think than the OP or people on this forum. ---

I said nothing what so ever about religion, but in fact I agree whole heartedly.I don’t think you emailed the right person. My comments were about the controller. ---

Respectfully, You’re still calling it “flawed logic” despite not having anything close to complete information as to what the OP knows or doesn’t know about the new controller. That is the very definition of conjecture. So it’s either you didn’t know what he knows about the controller, or you did and decided to be caustic for no apparent reason, despite OP coming back with kindness. I suspect it was the former since you later said “nobody knows about it” when in fact we do know something, a few things in fact. ---

I have watched this video too many times. LOL I want it as soon as it is available. There is just something I like about the Idea of a controller that is dedicated to the onefinity. i look forward to the swap out program, if there is one, and from past performance it looks like there should be one as they have been consistent in offering this sort of thing.
