Hello All, I am new to CNC, I just placed my order for the Onefinity Elite Foreman and looking now to order the PWN ATC Spindle system. I am presently planning to order the water cooled 2.2kw spindle , 110v chiller with silicone tubing. While i wait on the order to ship I plan to build a custom table. Most likely a 72” x 72” size. I also have a Oneida 3hp cyclone dust collector.
What dust boot do you suggest that I use?
Is it possible to signal auto start on my dust collector?
Would any extension cables be recommended?
What else would be suggested that isn’t included in the ATC spindle kit?
I will keep reading through the forum posts, lots of great conversations and advice. Appreciate any wisdom and suggestions offered.
Hey Rod,
I use the v10, the considerations for it are less, but z independent is every time. V9 has been used, but there are extra considerations. V3 shows potential but hasnt been validated.
Unfortunately we dont have a way to use that DC and start automatically, and honestly it’s probably overkill for a cnc. Might look into the ivac to open a port going to the cnc. We have an iot switch, but it’s only 110v and limited to 12a. Personally i have a small wall mounted unit with a trash can seperator that i have used for i don’t know how long, and that is how i have it turn on.
We have sensor extension and spindle extension cables available, but it all depends on routing and placement if they are necessary
Popular additions include a keypad mount, and associated cables then for atc extra holders, collets, and racks.
Just a thought, I used the 110vac, dust collector outlet on the power supple on the onefinity elite to trigger a relay that has a 110vac coil, you just need to make sure the contacts are rated for the dust collector. Mine is a delta 1.5 hp and I used it contacts rated at 30 amps, I also wired it so I can still use the remote for the DC when not using the cnc. I also have the ATC on order. I’m using vcarve pro and didnt have to do anything in the software to get the DC to start and stop. Works great. There are other ways of doing it but for me it was the easiest.
