Good morning….I currently have a small CNC 17x17 and am using Vectric desktop. I have outgrown its capabilities. I am looking at the 1F X-50 Woodworker (along with 2 other systems) for several reasons with the biggest being down the road I can upgrade. I would like to get some of your input, opinion…

Hey Kevin, [image] KevTN: I would love the Journeyman but I am trying to figure out how to reconfigure my current work space for the WW. lol It’s a beast. But I needed 120 cm workarea width.

I think to some degree use case, cost, expectations, experience, all come into play. I purchased the original WWX35 bare bones as I knew already over 2 years ago I wanted my own Masso G3 controller, cabling, motors, and ATC spindle. With no machining experience at all, but with some confidence unde…

TMToronto, Great information. I agree with a complete package from Carbide but the 30x30 is more of what I need for my applications. I do not see, at least now, doing any metal but it nice to know it is available if I want to. Thanks for your time, Kevin

The machine is a beast, i have the x50 if you go 48 i would say get a stiffy or 50mm especially if you are thinking about getting a spindle. Biggest gripes are emi and blackbox software. I used ugs and openbuilds, the biggest adjustments are losing most ugs features and the machine clears its pos…

Hey Nick, [image] nwilliams102: Blackbox homes, probes, and runs files that’s pretty much it. that is not true. The buildbotics-derived Onefinity Controller implements a full RS-274 and even more, a LinuxCNC G-code implementation. What you probably mean, is that it lacks some comfortable pag…

[image] nwilliams102: The losing positions is what makes emi such a pain, a little static and the machine is lost and you have to re-home and re-probe and hope for the best. that indeed sounds like it is a pain. Have you already tried some of the possible countermeasures against EMI ?

In terms of support, I am someone who has had to use them many times due to a few teething issues with my Elite Journeyman. Here are a few; - No resistors on motors, no resistors causing motors to get damaged, bad motor on X rail, problems with the coupler on the Y\B stepper motor\ball screw. All o…

[image] 349iq2345: I never used ugs. Are there any specific features that you had there that you would mention here, that the buildbotics-derived Onefinity Controller lacks? The bulk of the features are improvements to make working with the machine easier. UGS allows users to arrange the UI …

[image] 349iq2345: It does not clear any of the offsets when you home the machine. What it looses, is the accurate position of the home itself because of unreliable Stall Homing , that is true. This may be a case of me not understanding what is happening if I power on my machine, home it, and…

[image] 349iq2345: Retrofit Hardware Limit Sensors , which can easily be attached to the buildbotics-derived Onefinity controller Why is this a retrofit and not a factory-sold upgrade, stall homing is easily the #1 Onefinity gripe. I’m unlikely to drop 2k on an elite upgrade but they could …
