Hey I’m new to the forum. I’ve been making turkey calls with a wood lathe for several years now and have been looking into getting a CNC for that reason. I’ve been looking at onefinity elite woodworker and the CAMaster stinger 1 and trying to decide. Several things I’m trying to figure out to help w…

Hey Clay, you are talking about turkey calls , which are rather small wooden instruments? Do you plan to do other things with a CNC? I ask this because you would need a rather small machine for making such instruments. What size of devices do you make? And if you say you used a lathe, could you sho…

[image] The stinger 1 will run close to $9k. Size is 2’x3’. The turkey call is close to 3 7/8” round. From what I can tell I wouldn’t need any extras for the stinger 1 to begin making turkey calls. It looks like I can unbox it and begin making.

What laptop then would have enough RAM to design the 3D model? Sorry if I sound dumb about this. Im not an expert on computers and things like that but I’m not foreign to them just some of the lingo that goes with it I don’t understand.

Hey Clay, by coincidence, I just answered to the same question this morning, see here You would not forcibly want a laptop, often a desktop PC has better performance for the price and servicing in case of defects or upgrading is much easier I would not consider a computer with less than 16 GB RAM…

Hey Clay, thanks for showing! Yes they are rather small. A CNC is an extremely versatile machine. Do you consider using it to create other things as well?

Thank you for your answers! More than likely I’m sure I will find something else to make with the CNC. But the main purpose is for turkey calls. I need it for the consistency on the inside measurements to produce the same sound needed. Plus speed up production. Usually takes me around 35 to 40 minu…

Hey Clay, I compared the Onefinity CNC to other machines, mainly with those available where I live (e.g. these and these ) as that saves on shipping costs, and it took a lot of time because many details, especially technical, are relevant, and not all information can be found on the first click, so …

I have spoke to two different call makers. One uses the stinger 1 and is very happy with it. The other uses the onefinity and is also very happy with it. The guy with the onefinity built his on PC for designing his calls and uses Carveco Maker software. But to answer your question I feel that I have…

Hey Clay, a PC with at least 16 GB Ram and the Vectric Pro Software is surely suitable to do serious 3D work for exporting it as g-code toolpath. Once you bought it, Vectric Software allows lifelong offline use. There are many people here that use Fusion360 instead, that is rather different, and w…

PS: I found these links in another answer from the other day: [image] What to do before delivery? Vectric Documentation Why use Vectric Software products? unlike Fusion360 and other Autodesk Software products which are based on online subscription (and as far as I’ve heard constantly change thei…

Hey Matticustard,

thank you for this hint.

And while we’re at it, so that all aspects are mentioned…
