Redline vs. PwnCNC spindle

CNC Brands Onefinity

Hey all,

we discussed → here that Onefinity with their plagiarized product labeled “Redline” uses the same G-Penny spindles and DELIXI VFDs as Daniel’s original PwnCNC Spindle/VFD System.

Here I just come across Adam Fenn who says something about a difference between the Redline and the PwnCNC (and other) spindles:

Redline Buffer - Better Dust Collection with Redline Spindles – YouTube

What do you think of it?

Question is, which PwnCNC or G-Penny spindle model Adam refers to in his comparison?

The problem seems to have something to do with how far the outer width of the spindle protrudes to its lower end, or if there is a diameter reduction near the collet. Seems to be the case on my Mechatron HFS-8022 (and HFSAC-8022) too:

I think he’s comparing air cooled to water cooled.

And promoting a spin on another product of pwncnc

Hey Chris,

so it seems that Daniel already invented this item which Adam now saw the necessity to make too :slight_smile:

I just dropped Adam a line to point him to this thread.

Hey Chris,

Adam says while it may still be a G-Penny model, the Redline does not seem to have an identical shape than the air-cooled PwnCNC spindle, so his extender has a different shape at the top.

I had no idea PwnCNC offered something similar. They are different though. The PwnCNC air cooled spindle has a different geometry than the Redline. As a result, the buffer and body extender are not interchangeable. One works with the Redline and the other works with Pwn’s air cooled.

I’m not sure if the Mechatron is the same, but it looks very similar in those pictures.

I was also under the impression that the Redline VFD keypad was not the Delexi. When I looked into it a while back, the documentation showed a completely different keypad.

Good to know. Thanks

Hey Adam,

welcome back!

I’ll provide you the exact dimensions then. You could also download the datasheet for the dimensions.

I also plan to retrofit sealing air which will have a Festo QS8 angled hose connector at hole (D) as can be seen in this image, which will be located inside this recessed area of the spindle body

Here’s another example of a spindle witt the QS8 sealing air connector inside this recessed area

We’ve been aware of the body extender for years and when Gpenny approached us and asked what we could do to improve their products exclusively for our customers and further differentiate us… we asked for this:

This is the new shape of our air-cooled spindles… sold exclusively thru PwnCNC.
The metal body is extended almost the full length.
