The Onefinity is a CNC router. It is used for precision-carving of wood, acrylic, soft metals and other materials.  Onefinity generously discounted this unit through a Makerspace support program they offered to Hacksburg. A CNC router processes "G-code" to tell it where in X,Y,Z space to go, how fast, and in what order.  The essence of the process is to first create a model or design (CAD, STL, Thingiverse, Inkscape), then convert that design into G-code. The G-code is transfered to the router controller on a thumb drive, and the router controller executes that code to completion.

The Onefinity is a CNC router. It is used for precision-carving of wood, acrylic, soft metals and other materials. Onefinity generously discounted this unit through a Makerspace support program they offered to Hacksburg. A CNC router processes "G-code" to tell it where in X,Y,Z space to go, how fast, and in what order. The essence of the process is to first create a model or design (CAD, STL, Thingiverse, Inkscape), then convert that design into G-code. The G-code is transfered to the router controller on a thumb drive, and the router controller executes that code to completion.

Safety

You must be properly trained before using this machine. It uses a high speed cutting head that can cause serious injuries and a powerful motors that can damage metal, wood and especially humans! It also produces dust and that can be respiratory hazards, and cut chips that can be an eye or cut hazard. If at any time you feel something is wrong or unsafe, stop the machine. Your safety is more important than what you are working on.
