I’m planning on buying Onefinity, but as a new user should I buy the elite or the standard model?

What will be the primary use of your Onefinity? That can be one of the largest factors in choosing between them.

My typical answer to that question about tools is . . . you should buy the best you can afford. Better to buy once than continue to buy less over and over again.

I’m with Don, I find every time I skimp and get the mid line I end up selling it and leveling up to what I should have bought in the first place. With that said, both machines are totally capable of meeting your needs. As Newsvan stated your budget should always be #1 priority, you have other bills…

This machine is really for my father. He recently had a stroke last year and is having some issues with moving short-term memory to long-term memory. His stroke has left him where he can’t do a lot of woodworking with confidence. Before his stroke, he used to do a lot of woodworking and sell at a l…

If he is having cognitive issues, is learning a new technical skill feasible? If he is driven it could also be helpful. These machines are awesome but are not printers.

Hey Pat, hey all, [image] PezWoodworks: Elite has the advntage of G54-G59 work offset coordinates just to be exact, the G54–G59.3 Coordinate System Offsets are fully supported on the buildbotics-derived Onefinity Controller too. What it lacks at the moment is a page on the User Interface wit…

[image] Liamdad13: Also, do you guys change the speed of a Makita router frequently? I pretty much set it around Number 3 and left it there. Every once in a while I would adjust on the fly, like when going to 11 for cutting foam, but most if not all wood products did great at middle of the ro…

Hello Liam, I can only tell you what I did. I’m a beginner all the way around. I had never heard of CNC, and had know idea what I was doing, and still don’t. I do know more now, but very little. I went with the Onefinity Elite Foreman, as I read to get the biggest my space would allow, and buy …
