I just went through my old posts. I had a lot of problems with Onefinity’s buildbotics controller, which could not handle the g-code (lack of computing power) and would destroy my projects.
The whole thread was recently deleted.
I do not trust Onefinity any more. They just lost a customer.
Thanks for posting the Ai5u’s link, I created a subreddit where I hope folks can discuss further.
Hey Geige,
PwnCNC told me that they think there is enough evidence that “Redline” is a subsidiary of Kirbre, Inc. (with their Onefinity CNC brand).
PwnCNC thought they had a wonderful relationship with Onefinity right up until they announced they were releasing their own spindle kit, then they wanted nothing more to do with PwnCNC. PwnCNC were even emailing with Onefinity helping to solve one of their customers machine issues the day before their black friday spindle kit announcement.
PwnCNC told me, they have sufficient evidence to show that Redline is a subsidiary of Kirbre, Inc., which means they’d been working on it for 6-12 months prior to announcing it on black friday. And by “work”, it is meant they literally copied PwnCNC’s spindle kit (brand/model vfd and even motor brand)… Every single feature, and even copied word-for-word right out of PwnCNC’s online knowledge base.
PwnCNC assumed that their unwritten agreement was that they help Onefinity’s customers with spindles and PwnCNC point people to Onefinity for machines. They wouldn’t release spindles and PwnCNC wouldn’t release a machine, that was the idea they were working from.
But with the release of Onefinity’s own spindle kit, PwnCNC were now free to release a machine which is why they announced and started working on their Dominator CNC.
You may have a look, I think it’s a pretty convincing machine.
My inner troll wants to get a Dominator CNC and a redline spindle..
Quick, punch me in the face!
Wow! I thought it was just me…lol! I’m really glad they made the purchase decision for me!
When I was researching CNC options, I looked at the Onefinity site and even though it is a “Canadian” company, all of their prices are in US dollars only. And since there is a big difference between USD and CAD, for us it looks like the price is quite reasonable…until you go to an external site to calculate the exchange rate. I asked them about it and they said it was a limitation of their web site. In 2025? Yeah, sure. Kinda gives you the feeling that they are catering to their biggest market. That was a big turnoff for me.
Sienci acknowledges that the US is their biggest market but they show prices in both currencies. And I think they’ve been fair with respect to the tariffs that their US customers may or may not have to pay.
So that, plus the fact that they are pretty much open about everything, sold me on their product.
I like the fact that Scenci said if they have added tariffs they would let you know when it gets ready to ship and offer you the option for a refund. If they do have tariffs and they aren’t too bad I will keep my purchase.
