What controller is currently shipping with new Apprentice machines? (Solution: Redline Controller)

1

I have a friend that’s about to pull the trigger on a Machinist. I went to the 1F website to have a fresh look at it for him, but there was oddly no mention of what controller it ships with. Is the Redline now the standard controller? Looks like a very nice unit if that’s the case.

Does this controller interface with a separate PC? If so, is a Windows 10/11 PC compatible with it, or is it pretty much a stand-alone controller that does not connect to the PC?

If the Redline really is the new ‘standard’ controller, Onefinity has really upped their game. I told him that I couldn’t recommend a better CNC for even 4x the price of the 1F. I hope I don’t end up with controller envy! :laughing:

The Apprentice and Gen 2 Elite come standard with the Redline Controller. (this is listed in the products description. You may need to click the ‘read more’ button.
