Overview
The Onefinity Machinist X-50 extends the Onefinity platform to a larger 816x1270mm (32x50 inch) work area. Like all Onefinity machines, it uses ball screws instead of belts or lead screws, providing precision and repeatability that most hobby machines cannot match. The built-in controller with a web interface means no dedicated computer is required, and assembly takes about 30 minutes. At $2600 before adding a router or spindle, it is a serious investment. The X-50 designation indicates the extended Y-axis, making it suitable for longer workpieces like guitar necks, table tops, and signs.
