Your transparency is great and helpful. So often people make videos as if processes always go perfectly smooth and never explain issues they have. Thanks for showing the full truth.
just finishing a 9014 build. my vfd had a screw loose and exploded and took out the spindle as well so i am waiting on a replacement spindle to arrive. next weekend ill be making my first cuts. took a year in the ordering/ building. it sat at sea for 8 months finally got into a dock and sat there for another 2 months. it showed up at my door and the crates were destroyed from customs opening it up and not re-closing them. had a tiny bit of surface rust on the optical rails which polished out easily. its fast way faster than im comfortable with. it will hit 1000 IPM on the x axis and 700 IPM on the y axis. setup an xbox 1 elite controller on it and have been programming projects for weeks now waiting on getting the spindle working. i bought a steel frame table thats really nice for $1000 and eventually i will top it with a 4'x8' granite slab but right now the machine sits on 3 sheets of 3/4" plywood bonded together. im setting up my 4th axis at the front of the table for easiest access. i plan on making a chess set as one of my first projects on this machine. using my toy 3018 learner machine as a laser etcher for labels for the back of my pieces. i went to the local woodworkers supply shop and nearly had a heart attack wood that i had priced when i was in planning a year ago had doubled and in some cases tripled in price. and a nice piece to 3d carve the full size of the bed id have to sell my harley for the cost of the wood. Good Luck with your robot. hope to see some of your work here.
For the speed dial on the makita router, put a piece of painters tape over the dial. They have a tendency to rotate on their own when you start cutting through harder woods. For your screen, are you using a dedicated plug to power it or are you powering it from the controller?
Hey! The tape is a good idea, thanks! Dedicated plug for the power of the screen, but the touch portion going to the controller. Thats the way that Onefinity says to set it up in the instructions that come with the screen.
I was thinking you could remote the router on off switch back to a panel next to the monitor/screen, The other thing i have seen is the water cooled spindles they are quieter and more powerful, maybe not cheap though.
That's disturbing that the cursor position does not sync with the associated hotspot on the screen. Sounds like Onefinity has some work to do there. Cord management is a plus and makes life easier.
@@HamiltonDilbeck the trick is to have the monitor off when you turn on the controller, wait about a minute for the controller to boot up and then turn the monitor on.
You need to turn on the monitor at the same time you turn on the controller, that way the monitor is seen by the controller as it boots. If the controller boots up without the monitor being on the controller is set to the wrong resolution and your pointer is off. You can see the resolution on the screen and you will see that it is set wrong if the monitor gets turned on too late.
you've come so far! Nice!
Thanks! Much more to come!

Thanks! I appreciate the comment!
Tnx for showing some of the challenges!

Hamilton you are hilarious and super entertaining! Thank you for the review!
Thanks for making a great product!
@@HamiltonDilbeck Dude that intro is sick!!!
I too labeled my remote..
also I just found that holding one of the triggers will lockout one axis .
Nice! That's great info, I'll try it out!
Nice job Hamilton!
Thanks!
Just a tip for the screen, make sure it's turned on BEFORE you power up the controller. This will fix the black bars and touch being off :P
I think of this everytime I turn on my onefinity lol, thanks!
That's kind of a sexy set up.
I think so too

Where'd you get the table your cnc is on?
With the probe: can you manual your X and Y and probe the Z? 🤔🤔 Very curious on this.
For sure. You can set an x and y as your home (whenever you want) and then just probe the material.
@@HamiltonDilbeck that's what I was thinking. Perfect! Thank you for the quick reply! 👍
Do you have the ability to add a laser to the Onefinity system?
Yes, I believe its made by Jtec? Onefinity has it listed on their website under the accessories

Yeah its annoying. Happens about 20% of the time. I'm sure its something that I'm doing wrong in the moment- just haven't figured that part out yet

@@RonMarshallrone Thanks! Great tip!
@@HamiltonDilbeck Maybe it will be addressed in the next fw update. :)

What material are the black parts made of?
Assuming you mean the dust collection system? Looks to be PETG.
