The Onefinity is a CNC router. It is used for precision-carving of wood, acrylic, soft metals and other materials.

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.
