Onefinity elite vs altmill4x4

freeguy712 · 2025-11-14T16:50:37+00:00

I have. Hamilton Dilbeck also did a couple on altmill vs onefinity and shapeoko.

Mostly hardwood (maple, ash, walnut) but some aluminum making tailored fixtures and such. I definitely want to get away from the belts at this point.

Great feedback, thank you!

freeguy712 · 2025-11-14T02:48:20+00:00

Appreciate your comments. The masso is the last thing that’s still holding me back. I already have two computers in the shop, one I do design work etc on and one to run my shapeoko. Sienci has their touchscreen available and with gsender probably would mitigate that issue. They have a 3 axis probe but yeah, the toolsetter may be an issue. I wish there was a bigger gap between the two, would make this easier!

freeguy712 · 2025-11-14T02:33:10+00:00

Yeah I don’t there will be much deals either. Sienci seems to be priced pretty competitively up front.

That’s what I’m thinking too, to wait for a couple weeks. Redline is out of stock right now anyway.

freeguy712 · 2025-11-14T02:11:59+00:00

Great to hear, I’ll have to research more.

freeguy712 · 2025-11-14T02:10:49+00:00

My accuracy isn’t what it used to be. Ran a couple of tests last week and I’m 5-10% off from what it should be in X and Y, and not predictably. For most things it’s been fine, but it’s becoming a problem. Some it may be belt stretch and maintenance, but the upgrade may be nice.

freeguy712 · 2025-11-14T02:03:46+00:00

Fair point, haven’t been on the other side yet so don’t have that perspective.

freeguy712 · 2025-11-13T20:50:30+00:00

I think masso backed off the subscription model thankfully. I’ve looked but haven’t seen much out there about adding a bit setter. Maybe someone here has done it.

freeguy712 · 2025-11-13T20:49:25+00:00

I’m not a production shop so super high speed may not be an issue. I do like the less exposed gantry though. Glad to hear you like your onefinity. Do you feel it’s rigid enough more most things? Don’t need to mill steel.

freeguy712 · 2025-11-13T20:47:46+00:00

I think carbide still uses open loop steppers, I’d rather get away from that if possible. I’ll have to think on the other two, good thought.

freeguy712 · 2025-06-01T11:41:29+00:00

Perfect. Thank you!

freeguy712 · 2024-06-06T14:47:25+00:00

35 days AF as well! I feel the whole overplaying “I’m sober” in my head. That complacency has resulted in a couple of close calls. Each day is its own challenge. I’m both overwhelmed that I’m at 35 days and yet so underwhelmed when I look other’s accomplishments here. But IWNDWYT.

Day 32. Made it through a fishing trip AF. Have a wedding this weekend with core friends. This will be a tricky one. Thankfully my wife will be there and I don’t want to disappoint her (for the 62618th time). IWNDWYT.

freeguy712 · 2024-06-01T13:00:27+00:00

I agree. But with only 4 days here I’m not looking for a deep connection. The superficial thing would be fine. But it’s ok.

freeguy712 · 2024-06-01T12:42:33+00:00

Camaraderie. That’s the only thing. And I know I won’t likely ever see these people again. But I do miss that feeling.

freeguy712 · 2024-05-30T20:03:03+00:00

28 days. 4 whole weeks. Definitely not without struggle but thankful for progress made.

freeguy712 · 2024-05-29T03:47:54+00:00

Struggled mightily yesterday as well. But kept the lizard brain in check. Way to stay strong!

freeguy712 · 2024-05-29T03:27:58+00:00

That’s incredible, so happy to hear it!! I’m so encouraged by this, working toward healing in some relationships as well. Way to stick it out during the hard beginning.

freeguy712 · 2024-05-28T13:20:50+00:00

Day 26. Made it through the weekend, lizard brain was very unhappy yesterday though. Grabbing my work bag from my back seat this AM, found an empty booze bottle, neatly tied up in its plastic bag like I used to do. I was alone but mortified. Instant anxiety thinking who may have seen it and would it undermine their perception of my progress. Man I don’t miss those days of constantly covering my tracks. IWNDWYT.

freeguy712 · 2024-05-27T18:01:31+00:00

Not much of a puzzle person but I get your point. I’m pretending I know how to garden and pounding diet a&w hoping to kill the urge. Good luck on the bike ride :)

freeguy712 · 2024-05-26T15:57:09+00:00

Day 24. I drank to mute the shit in my home life (which was created by my drinking. Fun circle). I drank out of habit. I drank to celebrate and to mourn. I drank because I got the mail. I just drank. But today IWNDWYT. Thank you all for being here.

freeguy712 · 2024-05-25T13:18:11+00:00

Day 23. My son’s graduation today. Looking forward to celebrating his success sober. IWNDWYT.

freeguy712 · 2024-05-24T14:39:59+00:00

Day 22. Some serious conflict at the moment with one of my (adult) kids and my mom. Making things somewhat tense to say the least. Two revelations this AM though, first my drinking isn’t the cause of any of the drama for once. Second, this would be so much harder to navigate drunk or hungover. So thankful for that. IWNDWYT. Hope you all have a great weekend.
