Onefinity CNC router is the best hobby/small production shop CNC on the market. every machine (100% of them!) made is assembled and tested in their shop before it leaves the factory. No other hobby CNC machine comes even close!
2 Layer 3D Relief Carve
zhlédnutí 977Před rokem
Ive had several requests to show how to do a 3D relief using dissimilar woods to get a good contrast between the relief and background. This can also be done with 2D designs where an image or test is raised and carved from the top layer of wood, leaving the background layer of wood. Especially useful when making signs where painting isn't the best option.

Onefinity-Carveco design and cut - zero Z from top of spoilboard
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 3 lety
You can extend the like of your spoilboard when making through cuts by zeroing z from top of spoilboard (bottom of material) instead of top of material. Taking a couple of basic shapes in Carveco and creating toolpaths from the top of spoilboard (bottom of material) and then cutting them on the Onefinity.
Skinny Jenny Tapered Ballnose Bit

After having tested the Skinny Jenny V1 for a couple of weeks a d comparing it to a number of other brand name taped ballnose bits, I thought that the SJ was amazing...but Cody wanted to make it even better...and he did with his revised version!!! Here is a carve in Walnut with the Skinny Jenny. It’s even more impressive with superior cut quality, strength and rigidity.  cadencemfgdesign.com

This is excellent. Not one racist will comment a bad thing.
Looks great!!
O need to order some!!!
I cant make it work. Im using carveco maker and ugs. I select the bottom of material in the software. I probe from the spoil board. When I hit carve it drives the bit all the way to the spoil board instead of top of material.
Excellent video. My machine wont go down to board , just cuts air. Why.
Did you probe z from the top or bottom of material? Needs to be probed in the same place as the design software
You guys’ ROCK! About ready to make the plunge. They say buy your second cnc first. I changed my mind 3 times over the past couple months deciding on which brand to go with. All for the better! Much more than I intended on spending, especially if I add the PWN ATC System. But once I saw it. I gotta have it lol. Having an ATC with a CNC is the frosting on the cake, but $$Ouch! "buy once cry once" Does adding the pwn atc system effect the warranty for the Elite Foreman in any way? Thanks for all the tech you guys bring to the hobby market! KZ
Hi KZ! Thanks you’re going to love this CNC ! Give me a shout in messenger (Mitz Pellicciotta) and I’ll try to answer whatever questions you have.
Great stuff thank you sir
about to place an order. so pumped!
You’re gonna love it! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
Try cutting the flower of life once.
Hello Mitz, I know this video is a bit old, bit I know the new elite’s have teaming bolts on the rails. I think I need to tram my Elite Journeyman. Can you please do a step by step video on the process of doing this? I know the infinity site has a diagram but I’m confused. I do much better with an actual how to video. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks Chris
Great video! Thank you for taking time to share your skills.
Is this only for 3D carves or can it be set and left all carves?
It can be set for all carves with the BB controller
Thanks for the reply. I sped mine up to 10K and what a difference.
If you find that you start losing steps, back it down to about 7k
Good advice, thank you
Again, newbe need help. I see you check the continuity but where do I find the screen on the masso elite to see that. It appears you're using a computer monitor.
This was on the original machine (x35 and x50). On the Masso, if you go to the F1 screen, in the center column, scroll down to the touch probe input. When you touch the probe to the bit (magnet on collet), you will see the input change from low/green to red/high. This indicates to have good continuity
Thanks for that. Now, Problem, the makita came with a plastic collet. @@onefinity-trainingtipswithMitz
Yes thanks. I have no continuity from probe to tool or from magnet to aluminum pad. Have continuity from plug on probe wire to aluminum pad using ohm meter.@@onefinity-trainingtipswithMitz
Reach out to me in messenger. Will try to help
Why not just use a 32x32 square, then use "area clear" with a step over of 2"? Then rotate?
A real great presentation for clear understanding. Just a quick question, is it advisable to have the spoil board a couple inches larger than the cutting area? Thanks.....Bill
It really doesn’t matter as long as your bit can reach the edge of the material. I wind up putting a grid that’s 32 x 32 or whatever my cutting area is which will define the cutting area.
You changed the setting to the max jerk for Motor 0, Motor 1 & Motor 3 but not motor 2? Why not Motor 2?
Motor 2 (right Y rail) is slaved to Motor 1 (left Y rail) and therefore uses settings for Motor 1
I am going to comment again. Used this technique this morning. It worked perfectly. With a bit of work was able to dial it in to within a few thousandths (front to back, side to side) - over a twenty-inch span. Used feeler gauges. Good enough for woodworking. After this procedure I took another light cut off the spoil board (0.010), the surface is very smooth, with no ridges from the cutter. So happy! Thanks again.
So glad it worked so well!!
Great video, very helpful. Thanks!
Excellent video. Thank you!
Waiting for my Onefinity Journeyman to be delivered. I will wait as you suggested and check this video out again when I set up my machine. Thank you for your great advice!
Thank you. Very helpful.
Mitz, I've watched your Part 1 and 2 videos multiple times, they're great. Like others that have commented, I am curious how you dealt with the dust collection. I don't see how your design accommodated for the hose. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

where can you buy this bit...didnt see it on there website

Thank you for this video - I think you will get me going. I have a question on the G-code file - where did it come from? Is it a 3D CAD program for the "model" and how was it processed to result in the G-code file?
Hi Neil. The g code is processed when you save your toolpaths in your design software. You have to select the post processor the first time you go to save the toolpath. Just be sure to select Onefinity Elite (for Elite series machines) or Onefinity-BB (for original series machines).
It was too quick for me; my retention of this demo was about 10%. I want to learn and would like to benefit from your experience, but I have not.
Sorry to hear that. Sometimes trying to cover a lot of info in a short time is hard to do. Reach out in Messenger and would be glad to cover anything in more detail
That is a nice enclosure. Very well thought out.
Ordered My Onefinity Woodworker. Starting to get things done before it get here. table is 55" square. Cannot wait to get started on the encloser. I know its been a year but had to learn things and find someone to help with the programing. thanks again. Maybe someday i can do a video.
Thanks for doing this. Ordered. They should give you a commission! 😂
Really enjoyed the video. I just bought my 4th machine, a Onefinity! After immersing myself in the craft for a year now, I understand it quite well, but I continue to be amazed at just how different every machine's software is. Onefinity gets a big thumbs up from me for making it as straightforward as any I've seen, and this video gets two thumbs up for clear, concise and CORRECT information. It's not hard to get turned upside down watching some CNC videos, whether it's bad information or just too much information. This was stellar 👊🇺🇲
Thank you so much! Reach out in Messenger any time if you have any questions
Im eventually going to get one. Need to clear some space for it first.
You won’t regret it, and you’ll have a blast using it!
Wow nice design on the enclosure. Is it something you made as well or bought. Would love to know so i can either purchase it or build it. Thanks in advance. Rick
Thanks Rick! I made this for my first machine (I’ve since upgraded twice 😆)I have 2 videos on building it and I also have build instructions attached to the part 2 video. Let me know if you have any questions
Thanks for the reply. I will try and look for the instructions and designs, too. I am just starting out with doing CNC work as a hobby. Got me a Genmetric 4040 Pro and want to see what I can do for the dust instead of just holding a shop vac up to it. So, I was thinking of an enclosure with some way to connect a hose to my dust collector system.
Here is part 1. The link to part is in the video description czcams.com/video/hsZEtI5Ph_0/video.htmlsi=pZi3xHDkK968Mmht
Good afternoon Mitz. Question. I followed your instructions for a grid on a Onefinity Foreman Elite. The tool paths seemed to be done right but when I ran the file, the grid squares were less than 2 inches and some where completely off. So my grid looks a bit off. I also noticed the front of my grid line is not where it should be and it was cutting air in the front. I set my work area in Carveco to X48.125 and Y48.50 according to the cutting area mentioned on the Onefinity site. Could that be my problem? Get back to me when you can. Thanks.
Send me a message through Facebook Messenger and will help you.
Hi Mitz, Just wondering what length coil cord you installed. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks@@onefinity-trainingtipswithMitz
Thanks so much for your instruction. I'm having an issue with selecting the horizontal or vertical lines for the toolpath. From the video it seems that all you do is click on one line and then proceed to the toolpath creation. When I click on one horizontal line it highlights one rectangular row... so I suspect when I go to the toolpath creation it will only be for that rectangle. I guess you can tell, I'm new at this!
No worries. Give me a shout through Messenger and I can walk you through it
Thank you again Mitz... I got it and the board is done. Really appreciate your being in touch and your help . @@onefinity-trainingtipswithMitz
Really nice design, thanks for making the video nd sharing your ideas. I assume you used 2 inch sch 40 pvc and 2.5 inch flex. Is that correct? Thx
Yes, that’s correct
Thanks sir!
quick question. i will be setting mine up soon but it's for the Elite Foreman. Will these settings and steps work with this version? Right now I followed your steps for the toolpath file but obviously I adjusted to the size of the cutting area I will have (48 x 48) and I'm using a Amana #45526 1-1/2 in surfacing bit. Get back to me when you can. thanks.
As long as you’ve adjusted for size you should be good. I would actually set size to 49”x49”…with 1-1/2” bit, the centerline of the bit would only need to travel 47-1/2”, well inside the cutting area.
@@onefinity-trainingtipswithMitz that’s exactly how I entered my numbers when I created the file. Thanks for getting back to me quickly. I’ll let you know if I have any issues. Cheers 🍻
@@onefinity-trainingtipswithMitz Hello again, so I'm having an issue finding the center of my spoil board. i tried using the same method you used by using the MDI Command line and I entered X and Y using the G00 command but it only took me to the center of my Y but then took me to the far right of my X axis. I tried entering the commands one by one but it would not move from that position. I re-homed it and tried again but with the same result. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
What machine do you have?
Home your machine first, then touch x and y on your screen to zero those axis. Then enter the mdi command G00X24.015Y24.187 and run. Should move to the center of both x and y. If you’re still having problems, send me a note through FB Messenger. You can easily fine me on the Onefinity Official FB group
Thank you so much. I was losing my mind trying to figure out why it wasn’t working properly.
Glad that this helped!
I wish there was a Automatic Tool Changer available ☹️
You never know! Sounds like a possible future enhancement!
I called the company that makes the Avid CNC ATC Spindle and they are making one for this machine. Its going to cost upwards of $4k though but for a full ATC spindle with a plug and play control box what do you expect.
Check out www.solafidedesignskc.com/. Nick has made an ATC specifically for the Onefinity Elite machines using industrial grade components, vector controlled vfd and US made spindle. The thing is a beast! And Nick is a great resource and very accessible.
When making this change, any advice on changing the rapid rate setting in Vectric for more accurate time estimates?
For the original machine, the rapid rate should be set to 395 in/min. Keep in mind that a pocket cut will have a lower scale factor vs a 3d carve which will have a higher scale factor. Make not of estimated time in Vectric and compare to actual time on machine. Over a short time, you’ll get dialed in on what that scale number should be. For me, profile and pocket cuts, I set scale factor to 1.4 and for 3d carves I set it to 4.2 which gets me fairly close
@@onefinity-trainingtipswithMitz Does the 395 in/min change if I use 5000 vs 10000 for max jerk?
@@berner57 no. That’s the max velocity. Jerk is the rate of change in acceleration.
How long does it take to fully assemble and test a machine?
Once the rails were made, it took about 25-30 minutes to assemble, do any fine tuning, test and disassemble to send to packaging. These guys are seasoned pros so can do about 15-20 machines per day.
Any update on a trade up from Journeyman program for it?
Should be fairly soon!
Glad to show off the amazing guys behind the scenes!
Someday oneday
Sweet!!!
This was my first time using carveco and my first time using the CNC. Because of you, I’d nailed it first time out of the gate. Thank you!
That’s awesome!!! Be sure to post in the Facebook group!
Youre awesome
Wow!!! I knew I recognized you when you helped me yesterday, but I didn’t remember where till I saw this video again today! You’re brilliant and I’m so grateful for your help!
Thanks for this buddy
As always, Awesome work
