Can confirm - the Beast and the Hog are worth every penny. I own a Onefininty OG woodworker and with the stock motors I can do .50 depth @ 80 IPM with a 65mm chinese spindle set up.
shambles75, It's great to hear that you're getting solid performance from your Onefinity OG woodworker! Those machines can really deliver impressive results, especially when they're set up right. Keep enjoying your projects!
I just used my Beast bit today for the first time. I didn’t remove that much material at a time, however, I was amazed at how seemingly easy it cleared out material & it saved on the overall project time.
Hello Garrett!!! Incredible tools!!! Would you be able to show in vectric how you use the finishing pass with another tool so we can maximize pocket tool path for time.Do you draw an extra smaller pocket tool path and then the tool path you need to finish at. Hope this makes sense. Incredible display of engineering for that tool!!!
Looks awesome, need to sort out what I need to order, unfortunately the shipping to Sweden is not that fun so might need to order something more to test it out.
The beast is great. What if I wanted to use it to cut out some non-artsy pieces? Are there specific speeds and feeds that allow this to be a finishing bit where I can end up with clean lines?
mrwonk, as the beast has enhanced cutting flutes on the side unfortunately you wont be able to get a clean side profile with this bit. It is a hog it out and get it done bit brother!
All your bits are top notch and I have 2 more coming for Christmas one being the beast and 1 being your tray and bowl.Do you recommend taking the last little bit out with the tray bit?
Hi, I bought the Badger and the Beast and with all do respect the QC Code on your bits that takes you to the specs are not clear on what we should be running them at and for what type of woods. I do think you should up date them with some type of chart. Most of us can not afford to keep buying bits
Betobeto, I have the perfect thing for you, I have the IDC woodcraft app that has all the feeds and speeds for every IDC Woodcraft bit right on your phone. It also lets you select different material types so you can ensure you are running the right settings for the right material!

I have The Beast bit; love it! I ran it on a Yeti Smartbench spindle. It makes the same noise that your Longmill makes. Scary fast! I love watching the Beast move quickly through the project. Unfortunately, the Yeti threw a hard halt, stopped the job and gave a warning message "Boundary Issue." I'm replacing the Yeti Smartbench with a Longmill, but I don't want to over load the Longmill. If I understand your recommendation it is to run at 85 inches per minute, no more than .5 inch depth and 80% step over. Is that correct? Does the type of wood effect the recommendation?
waynehyatt5565, glad to hear you like the BEAST brother.

Hi Garrett. That really is one hell of a bit! I have the HOG and it really chews through material like no other. Is the BEAST just a longer version of the HOG, or are there other differences? - Joe
I have a Onefinity Elite Woodworker with a 2.2kw spindle attached. Would you still run the same settings? I guess it would be less strain on the spindle vs a makita trim router to begin with.
the-wooden-beard, I recommend downloading the IDC Woodcraft app and then you'll be able to adjust the setting (router and material) for your projects to be more accurate. Here's the link for iPhone users→ apple.co/3IKj9Td Here's the link for Android users → bit.ly/3kmFCfN
davekolp4552, That's a great question! While rough cuts save a lot of time compared to doing everything with a finish bit from the start, the exact time saved can vary based on the material and the design. Typically, a rough cut gets you most of the way there quickly, and then a finish cut adds that final detail. It might take a bit more time to change bits, but you end up with cleaner results overall. Ultimately, it's a balance between time efficiency and the quality of the finish you want!
CinemaCakes, Using smaller passes like 1/8 to 1/4 inch is actually a common practice and can be beneficial for the bit. It helps reduce the load on the tool, leading to less wear and tear over time. The key is to ensure that you're feeding at the right speed to avoid overheating. Just pay attention to your material and bit type for best results!
I wanna see the beast vs the hog. Both pushed to failure. Bit break? Wood slips? Stepper motors stop? What gives first? Don't get me wrong. I like this video but I would like to see more torture. I also wish places would Give an estimate on how long or how many inches a bit is supposed to last Under correct parameters of course.

Wow, that bit is really a BEAST!

Very helpful. Thanks Garrett!
GyWO10, glad to hear you like that bit so far brother! Happy CNCing.
Adding the beast and your roundover set to my collection very soon, thanks for posting all the videos you do!
NWGR, You're welcome! I'm glad you found the videos helpful. Enjoy your new additions to your collection!
I got the Beast last week and it is awesome. Saves a lot of time!!! Thanks Garrett
Parts, you are so welcome my friend.

GrantPeckford, that is a great idea brother! This video is number 1 on my videos to make. Ill keep you in the loop.
How about showing how to do a finishing parh after the Beast.
GrahamRankin, that is number 1 on my video list brother!
Just three strips of blue tape and CA for the hold down?
Dunhamguitars, its amazing glue brother!
Looks awesome, need to sort out what I need to order, unfortunately the shipping to Sweden is not that fun so might need to order something more to test it out.
LarsDunemark, perfectly understandable brother. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Nice demonstration

I bought the HOG for the same reason… So what’s the difference between the HOG and the BEAST?
Hi Henry. I created a post that explained it. Here's the link.

Hi Garrett. That really is one hell of a bit! I have the HOG and it really chews through material like no other. Is the BEAST just a longer version of the HOG, or are there other differences? - Joe
The beast is a shorter version. Even stronger.

RPM used on industrial one?

Looks like to rough of a cut, so how much time do you save if you have to change bits and go back and do a finish cut?

Is using it for smaller passes 1/8 to 1/4 bad for the bit?

Garrett is telling the truth! That bit is totally unreal! It chews up wood like there is no stopping it. If you don't have it, get it!
Ozguzzi, glad to hear you like this one brother!
Oh My Garrett, Is the Longmill O.K?
Michaellevine, it is a great CNC machine brother!
What about a 96x48 ShopBot
RC Junkie, the BEAST would love that machine brother!

Adamizon, thanks for sharing your thoughts brother. You've definitely given me some food for thought on this!
God those were terrifying noises 😅
Dunhamguitars, true that!
🌵 Nothing is gonna "BEAST" that! 🌵
🤣🤣 👏👏👏👏
William, good one brother!
