Is Onefinity CNC Worth The $$$ | A 3 Month Review of the Woodworker X-50

Thinking about a new desktop CNC. Start here and save a load of headaches. After three months of use, I give an in depth review of my experiences with the Onefinity CNC Woodworker X-50, including the good and the bad, and lessons that I've learned. Included below are affiliate links to several products that I've used in this video. If you plan to make a purchase, please use these links, as I get a small commission off of each sale made through those links. The cost is the same to you, but you're able to support my work. #onefinity #cnc

    I’ve been thinking about getting a CNC but have hesitated due to #1, cost…and #2, the anxiety of figuring out the software and how to use the thing. But this video helped me out immensely and I certainly do appreciate your honest opinion! Thank you sir!

    I did another video on the Genmitsu 4040, which is a smaller CNC. If you decide to dabble, that's a nice one to get started with, and only costs around $600. Much smaller obviously.

    to be honest if you use Easel software which is CAD and CAM in one , the free version will allow you to domostworkand thepaidversion takesittoanotherlevel. It was designed with the end user in mind and not a programmer which is what most CAD software does. Im 61and do not wish to learn yet even more software at my age and use Easel because for me it is easy and fits all my needs. They support a lot of machines and it has a good user base to call on. Try a evaluation of it, you do however need a connection to the internet as its a online tool but it works flawlessly for me and designing a item is super easy. As I said I am end user and want to spend my time making things and not learning software for things i do not want to make.

    When/if you ever need a Makita-sized router/replacement, get the Carbide3D router. It comes with 4 spare brushes & is only 80 dollars because it does not come with all the accessories, which you will already have now that you have already bought a makita set. It has a much longer power cable as well.

I know this is from back when you 1st got the CNC, but entirely relevant to those of us who've yet to shine a light down that pathway.Thank you keeping a record of your pain and suffering. I've every CNC owner/operator say, "there's a learning curve." Evidently, there's are unforeseen cost to be factored in as well.

(They might be out of my price range, but their Elite line looks even more interesting, with closed-loop steppers and a more capable controller.)

Onefinity offers a laser attachment on their website, but you'll want to check the site for those specifics, I've not pulled the trigger on that option yet, though I've thought about it.

One of my shop upgrades this coming summer is to build an actual dust collection system, but as of now, I just use a rolling cart with my shopvac and bucket. It's simple, but it works. The router doesn't put out nearly as much dust as other machines, such as my planer. Here are the links to what I have. amzn.to/3TgehYw amzn.to/3Mr6FQH

    I'm in Canada in an unheated garage the only with cold can be static build up. Cold air has less humidity and builds static charge easier. This can cause issues depending on how well the machine is grounded and shielded for high frequency current induction. I haven't had any issues with my machine yet but it's not this machine and at this point mostly built by me. So if you have issues in the cold it's static. If your not using a vfd and spindle. You are less likely to have static issues.

    I would recommend trying out some design software first. The CNC part isn't hard, the challenging part for someone who isn't tech savvy if designing your projects. Try out easel.com, which has a free trial, and see how easily you pick up on designing projects. If that part is easy to you, then you're over the hump in my opinion.

You're going to spend nearly the difference in cost buying a crappy handheld router (not made for CNC work) as a "spindle" and building out a relatively flimsy work surface out of wood or mdf. This is a toy by comparison.
