Hey Butch,

if you want to begin with CNC, the Onefinity Controller ([PDF Manual](https://www.onefinitycnc.com/_files/ugd/1cee9f_bed246d0462e443ab8f782f2384d4ddb.pdf), [Buildbotics V1.0 Manual](https://buildbotics.com/manual-v1-0/) also largely applies) of the Standard Series is not bad, as it is not that expensive with [$382.50 USD](https://www.onefinitycnc.com/product-page/onefinity-journeyman) (compared to original [Buildbotics Controller](https://buildbotics.com/) for [$568.00 - $628.00 USD](https://buildbotics.com/product/113/buildbotics-cnc-controller), of which the Onefinity Controller is a hardware fork. However, Buildbotics Controller further evolved ([[1]](https://forum.buildbotics.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=285), [[2]](https://forum.buildbotics.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=230)), but some of its restrictions still remain compared to more professional CNC controllers).

With Onefinity Controller, you have the advantage that it works out of the box with a Onefinity CNC machine so you can immediately start, and you have a community here, a lot of owners who share their experience if one encounters problems. What I also find nice is you can look at the [CAMotics](https://camotics.org) toolpath visualisation, however not on the screen directly connected to the Onefinity controller, but with a remote computer over network that has better 3D graphics acceleration capabilities.
