@@mariomartinez5088 not too long - I’d say 45 minutes, but that could definitely change based on your machines recommended speeds and feeds

@@kimberlyadams4446 thanks! I usually “cut” at 15 in/min and then just vary the passes depending on the hardness of the wood. Pine is less passes, Oak is more. Make sure your focus is set correctly and that your lens cover is clean - I found that, that can get built up in “pitch” or residue from the cutting process

@@SJSSawdust Thank you so much! I have Oak on the way so I can try again.

@@kimberlyadams4446 no problem- hopefully you can get your machine dialed in!

@@johnfraboni I was really that the geometry worked out ! I’ve since improved on the design and I like it even more!

@@SJSSawdust how so? Any improvements to the hinges, their setup or installation?

@@johnfraboni the overall design is more rounded, looks less chunky. I did find some better hinges that are 5mm (so a bit more robust) and look bette too - just overall higher quality. 😀

@@user_16309 I am not affiliated whatsoever with Onefinity - so my opinion is mine alone. This machine is awesome. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Even more, now that they have the new controller, that is so much more capable than mine - it’s even more of a no brainer.

@@jodycarter thanks! The struggle is real, but I do it because I’m addicted to CNC

@@emostorm7 thanks! They say necessity is the mother of all …..CNC brackets. Or something like that. Lol.

@@congruewoodworks1474 thanks so much! As far as software goes, I think as long as you can create g-code, the Onefinity can read it. I started off using Easel, and now I use VCarve

@@jeffdeluca1153 Thanks. This is the original journeyman model ( 32” x 32” ) and, yes I use the wireless Onefinity controller - it works perfectly well.

@@paulrcreech7731 thank you so much!

@@paulrcreech7731 in the description, there should be a link to my Etsy page so you can pick the file up

@@paulrcreech7731 thanks! I was very happy how it turned out!

@@GeekRedux thanks for the tips. If I were cutting this out of one large piece, let’s say padauk, from my experience, this would be very costly - I find it much cheaper to buy smaller pieces or, better yet, use off-cuts from past projects. Even more important than that, there is a lot of stored up tension in large slabs of wood. That tension will be released as these are cut and will almost certainly lead to cupping/warping that will lead to sub par results or could easily damage your end mill or CNC. If these were out of plywood, MDF or particle board - I would definitely nest 6 or 8 trays on one sheet and set my file up accordingly

@@SJSSawdust Okay, yeah, you make a good point about the stress in a large sheet. Maybe a plywood or mdf jig could allow you to lay out a dozen or so trays at a time? I guess I'm just getting unreasonably frustrated seeing that CNC being used to do a job that could be done with a benchtop 3018 lol

I agree

Thank you so much! I’m very happy with how it came out

Hello, thanks for watching! As far as the file goes, the middle “slot” should be 1/4” or just larger to accommodate the 1/4” nylon bolts. The washers should be 1/2” OD. I just clicked all the links and they all seem to be working well.

@@SJSSawdust thank you for he info

@@SJSSawdust i used a 1/4 em mill for the middle slot and its way to wide for the 1/2 od washer .what could i have done wrong

@@josephlanglois8073 if I had to guess, I’d say that you set that slot to cut “outside” instead of “on” so instead of just doing basically one line, you doubled the width of the slot

Thanks a lot, and I appreciate it!

Thanks. This is the etsy link from the seller I purchased it from www.etsy.com/listing/775860984/

Thank you sir.👍🏽

Yes - In order to use any of the special features in Easel, a subscription is required.

Thanks - it’s worked out great so far!

Thanks for watching - I excel at the simple things in life….

Haha. Thanks - I’ll assume that’s good

I will DEFINITELY look that up - thanks! And YES, use your Onefinity more . I find myself cutting stuff that I don’t really even need, I just want to use it. Lol

@@SJSSawdust My problem is very similar to yours and that it's in my garage and Midwest winters are not my friend lol. That and I have a bunch of lasers that I've been using a ton so they've kind of pulled me away lately. 😉

@@misury that’s awesome. What do you have? I have the x tool d1, just recently attached the rotary, so that’s been fun to mess around with

@@SJSSawdust I have the Xtool P2, the Xtool F1, a creality falcon 10 watt and then the 14 watt on my onefinity woodworker. Then of course to complete the makerspace I have bambu X1 carbon. I might have a problem. 🤣

@@misury doesn’t sound like a problem to me! I was eyeing the F1 ( still am) and I would love a 3D printer. There’s so many great creators out there that make awesome files for the printers - stuff that can be used in the workshop… seems kinda dumb NOT to get one….

I used a 1/4” ball nose. The smaller diameter the ball nose, the more detailed it will be!

Hmmmm, you say that - yet you watched the entire video…. I think somebody liked it ….

Yeah - Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

Yes! Those are great ones- thanks!

Thanks! I definitely understand that - maybe I need to be a little more diligent on my cleaning ….

@@SJSSawdust - a wire brush might help with that. :)

If you use the net style discs like shown in this video you absolutely will get sawdust all up in the hook and loop. I just bang it against the table to clear most of it out. I have never had it cause micro scratches like said in the video though.

@@CarlYota - some fine sawdust? Sure. But, all that junk he showed in the video? Never. And yes, I use the same type sandpaper.

Belt sander paper isn’t “velcro” backed, so it wouldn’t stick to the foam block. Plus, the wooden block feels so much better in the hand

@@SJSSawdust 🤦‍♂️ I forgot about the velcro part

Imagine the cost of the 3M factory that mass-produces the foam crap

Ha - that's what I was thinking. But I think something similar could be done with a router table maybe. And some regular sandpaper. Both the foam sandpaper and the hook and loop are kind of expensive. Regular sheet sandpaper is expensive enough lately!

@@MarkSWilliams27 yea, I agree. Everything is through the roof. If you have a bunch of the paper sheets, search John Heinz- he made a pretty cool block that uses the paper sheets, works well. I made a set of those about a year ago and use those as well

Thanks. John Heinz made a video on a 1/4 sheet holder, I made a set of those about a year ago as well. My hands don’t grip the way they used to, so I found using this style that allows the block to be propelled by my palm seems to be easier on hand fatigue than trying to grip a block with my fingers. Thanks for watching!

I did not, I actually purchased that from a store

@@SJSSawdust Figured that from the start. Was wondering how you built it..

I thought it did good. I stopped using it for a couple of reasons. 1) I didn’t want to have my laptop in the workshop while using the laser ( needs to be connected to Lightburn, unlike the Onefinity which can be USB connected) I didn’t have a clean spot with a charger dedicated to it. 2) I wanted to be able to cut though material and I heard with the 7w it would take a bunch of passes ( which lead me to never actually try) 3) I was real particular about my wasteboard ( at the time) and didn’t want to leave it full of burn marks ( which is moot now because it’s all chewed up) lol. The 7w did good for the engravings I asked of it. What else is nice is the fact that you can use the laser for your entire work area, in my case 32” x 32” ( more like 30” x 30”) which is almost 4 times the surface area of most of the dedicated diode lasers out there. I (think) onefjnity offers a 40w attachment , which could cut no problem - might be worth comparing the cost of each unit. Hope this helps!

@@SJSSawdust yup that helps alot

Thanks for watching!

It makes it so much easier ! I cut/made about 4 of these before hand and there were definitely variances. The CNC should eliminate those

Hmmm. I’m not sure. That’s seems like it would be a monster bit. Run some tests first

Yep! I still do… 2 years later. Lol

Thank you buddy

Thanks! Retiring soon…. I’m jealous! You have to get a CNC, and the Onefinity is great

You said it! These machines are great

@@paulsmessyworkshop Definitely Blue

Yes - Go Blue! So you’re the one who enjoys my videos!! Hahah. Have you had any trouble with the colder winter weather and your machine?

@@SJSSawdust no, I have mine in a 2 car garage that I insulated pretty well. I have a small heater that keeps at around 40-45 or so. If I plan on working out there then I turn on the propane heater for about 30 minutes prior to going out.

@@SJSSawdust have you had problems with the colder weather?

@@dewaynethole769 I’m so jealous. I need to just man up and insulate mine this summer…. There’s just so much to move out.

You will love it! I just looked at the site and there’s 3 different series now, which one you going to go with?

@@SJSSawdust The pro series, I'm undecided between the woodworker and journeyman. I'd love to have the journeyman in my shop but I'd have to do a fair bit of rearranging to fit things in there. Keep it up, your channel is one I've been following for a long time now.

@@NWGR You can’t go wrong with the bigger machine, and if you add on the laser module, that’s easily the biggest diode on the market. I’ve rearranged the shop monthly to help improve workflow, my wife always rolls her eyes when I tell her that “I’ve finally got it!” And thanks for watching for so long, I really appreciate it !

@@SJSSawdust That's what I'm really leaning towards since the price difference is only a few hundred $$. I'm not sold on a laser in my shop yet, but I have looked into it a bit.

Ahh. Ok. Thanks for the info. It’s a hell of a machine!
