that picture at 8:30 with the mode selection in the middle saved my life thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the details!!!
You bet!
Hopefully get to have a onefinity in the future and use on my channel 🙏
we'd love to have you join the team!
nice part about the manual leveling, would be really keen for some sort of auto generated gcode on your website. The only inputs on the generator would be box size, zero point, and how much to cut through. Making this as easy as possible be very appealing
We do not recommend running gcode that you did not create.
I don’t have a straight edge that is the diagonal distances between the mounting feet… to get center. can I just home the machine and then manually jog to x & y center? For etch-a-sketch method (lol) what is the actual travel speed when using the joystick.

For anyone wondering how to create the flattening file, take a look at mark lindseys spoilboard video. It worked well for me using vectric aspire/vcarve
Great point!
When moving back and forth how fast is the Onefinity moving? With the speed-up in the video it is hard to see how long this should take. Which "mode" on the controller is being used?
393ipms
Wouldn't it save time by attaching a dial indicator to the Z slider and with the tip find the lowest point of the spoil board and start from there?
There's many ways to do it, you can definitely use a dial indicator!
Is there a recommended video for creating the spoilboard file in fusion 360?
We don't have one, but check out the fourms!
What is the recommended spoil board size , like the one you have there ? :)
Watch the previous video to figure out the wasteboard size.
I think they recommend -0.5 inch from the cut size that means 31.75 x 31.75 or am I wrong.
Oh my bad they say .5 in on each side so the spoilboard is 31 1/4 x 31 1/4 then. Can someone confirm ? Or am I still incorrect :)
We've made is slightly smaller on all 4 sides than the cutting area. The cutting area on the woodworker is 32 1/4x 32 1/4, so we've made it 31.75x31.75. Our surfacing bit has a wide reach so it will reach past the limits of the machine leaving use with a smooth surface across the entire wasteboard.
Is there any reason to not flatten the wasteboards attached to the QCW directly?
It could lead to raised spots outside of the cutting area.
@@OnefinityCNC correction: it DOES lead to raised spots. It's impossible to have perfectly flattened QCW wasteboards unless you flatten your QCW wasteboard, pop out the raised ones, and then flatten those separately.
Thé bolts do strip easily so be careful, stripped one already arghhhhhh
Yes. No need to gorilla tight! Just monkey tight!
Hmm maybe tram it before you surface it to ensure proper "mating" between bit and spoil board.
Tram is after you surface it. Then you resurface it.
@@OnefinityCNC Where is Onefinity's video on how to tram the machine?
Where is the flattening.ngc file is?
Is it somewhere at the forum?
You'd need to create that yourself.
@@OnefinityCNC why not share?
Can you make a video showing how to make this?
Take a look at mark Lindsey’s spoilboard video. It worked for me.
What am I missing? Did I waste my money on the QCW? Using this method, I'm still creating another waste board and I'm blocking the T tracks of the QCW to secure parts down. I thought the entire purpose of the QCW was so I didn't have to make one.
I am also confused my this, why is he showing us how to flatten a chunk of mdf that isn’t the wasteboard?
It was just for video purposes and it also shows off our other products. Every user is free to do it whichever way they prefer it!
I'm confused also, what infinity replied does not match what I am seeing. I do not think the bit can go 3/4" lower to level the waste board under the chunk of wood they flattened.
@@OnefinityCNC So what's the official recommendation from onefinity?

This video is incomplete and not actionable.
This is part of 3 videos.
I dont get it- youre flatting a wasteboard on top of your wasteboard? lol
some don't have a QCW, so this covers both.
Sorry you are not flattening a waste board. You are flattening a hunk of wood.
that's all that's ever done, flattening wood.
