You Asked, We Listened: Onefinity CNC 48" Foreman Y Rail Upgrades Now Available!

We’re excited to announce the latest game-changing addition to our Onefinity CNC lineup—48" Y-axis rail upgrades! This enhancement brings more precision, stability, and versatility to your CNC setup, with a larger workspace to tackle any project with ease.

If you’ve already upgraded to the Journeyman’s 48" X-axis, it’s time to expand your Y-axis capacity and unlock even more potential!

Key Features of the 48" Rail Upgrade:

Extended Cutting Area: Expand your cutting capacity by 30% when upgrading from the Journeyman (32” x 48”) to the Foreman (48” x 48”). Whether you’re working on detailed designs or larger projects, this upgrade provides the space you need to bring your ideas to life.

Enhanced Rigidity: Featuring 50mm hollow linear motion shafts and linear bearings, the 48" rails offer superior rigidity, reducing deflection and increasing cutting accuracy—perfect for working with dense materials and complex designs.

Increased Speed & Torque: Original and PRO Series upgrades includes a larger, high-torque stepper motor*, delivering up to 40% more torque and a 1616 ball screw that boasts speeds up to 60% faster. This ensures smoother and faster operations with even cleaner results. The ELITE Series upgrade also utilizes the same 1616 ball screw to increase speeds by 60% while maintaining the added benefits of a closed loop system.

Cost-Effective Solution: Thanks to the patented modular design of Onefinity CNC machines, upgrading is much more affordable than purchasing a whole new machine, saving you time and money compared to other CNC brands.

Simple Installation: Our user-friendly design ensures the entire upgrade process can be completed in under an hour with just a few basic tools.

How to Upgrade

Ready to elevate your CNC machine? Head to the IPP (Infinite Possibilities Program) page on our website to explore all the available upgrades!

How It Works

All IPP upgrades require the return of the part being replaced. These parts are refurbished and provided at a discount to military personnel, first responders, and maker spaces, allowing you to upgrade while supporting those who serve and future makers.

Here’s how it works:

  1. At checkout, you’ll pay the discounted price for the upgraded rails.
  2. We’ll ship your new rails with a prepaid return shipping label.
  3. Once your new Y-rails are installed, package the old ones in the same box, reusing the foam padding for each end of the rail. Ensure to fill the void of the longer box with packaging
  4. If you purchased the Elite upgrade, simply transfer your existing motor to the new rails. For Pro users, the new rails come with a pre-installed high-torque motor—return the old rails and motors in the same box.

After returning the old parts within 30 days, we refurbish them for their next life with a veteran, first responder, or maker space.

Special Notes:

  • This program is available on our website for the US 48 states and select locations in Canada. Contact us at info@onefinitycnc.com for options for other regions.

  • When upgrading to the X-50 rails, a Z-20 Z slider (available on the IPP upgrade page) is required for the Z-axis to reach your material.

  • Pro Series machines come with high-torque stepper motors pre-installed on the upgraded rails. Elite Series users will reuse their current 1.2nm closed-loop motor.

Happy machining!

That’s great news regarding 48" 50mm Y rails!
When can we expect 32" 50mm Y rails?

I was wondering how long it would take before this was asked! :grin:

Hey Steve, hey Tom, hey all,

at least you can always saw something off, but you can’t saw anything onto it :slight_smile:

I’ve ordered the 48” Y rail upgrade for my Elite machine (which itself was an upgrade).
I understand that I reuse the existing 1.2nm closed-loop motors. They will be transferred to the new longer rails.
As I remove the 1.2nm closed-loop motors from the old shorter rails, what happens to the wire harness routed through the old rail tube? One end connects to the motor, the other ends at a connector held in place by that split plastic holder. How do I get that out without destroying the connector?

Will new motor wire harnesses be supplied with the new rails?

Never mind.
Figured it out by watching your excellent vid on the Elite upgrade.
You have to loosen the 2 allen head bolts on the bottom…

Keep the wire in the tube. Just remove the wires from the green terminal blocks in the motor.
