Your statement makes little sense.. employing high hp techniques due to having low hp...??

Why work around a lack of hp when a motor upgrade would fix the lack?

Already looking I to it :)

And hence where I think the problem lies
The machine works ok as a turnkey package... and thus no need to mess with it, but if it say came with 8k spindle and a 2.5hp motor as an option, you...

Thanks for the reply

Leaving tabs makes total sense, not a train of thought I was in as the idea is to get rid of tabs at the end, but as an intermediate step, perfect I think

Would make a...

Guys are running RF45 clones at 8000rpm with 2hp that make a complete mockery of the Tormachs cutting abilities
Speeds and feeds that will bog a 1100 right down, are done with ease.
There are a...

How to hold for the back side facing and chamfering without crushing? Hmm

I've sort of worked out in my head a fixture using the centre to mount off after doing the inside as mentioned by WOT

Now if this part also had to be split with either 1 or 2 screws like a rifle...

Thanks for the reply
Basically I'm trying to make something very similar to the below from another member here.

Hope they don't mind me stealing the pic for an example :)

Hi guys, wondering if anyone had some insight on how to progress with this part.
Its basically shaped like a magnifying glass, round with a handle off the bottom
Round part is approx 1.5" with wall...

Anyone upgraded the spindle drive motor to something with more hp?

CRC Tac2 is the shizzle for any of the sort of machine lubes required.

Or a piece of o-ring cut and fitted intot he primer pocket

I have been approacted by someone here in NZ that says they have been talking with Syil and is looking at importing the Syil machines.
I'm going to wait until he gets one in and have a look at it....

Super cool!! :rainfro:

How long did it take to scan?

Cheers! :)
Will read in a min.

ALmost finished all the Solidcam Prof vids.. have learnt HEAPS today just from that.
I think I now have a reasonable grip on Solidcam :P

My only hickup at this...

Yip.. sounds like how Ineed it to work.. the ability to have an assembly in SOlidworks and then mod 1 part with the assembly updating itself is a cool feature... to be able to change the part and...

Thanks for the replies.. I'll save some pennies and get teh X4+ :)

YOu need to empty your PM box Syil

Hi there.
The Tormach.. maybe a bit $$?
Aluminium small parts .. 8" in size approx.
Gun and car parts predominantly.

I'm trying to decide on a desktop machine.. have been looking at the Syil X4+
Is it the best machine for the price, or are the/there other options better?

Thanks for the reply.

This is an intermediate drawing,(fianl is on another machine) the final product has radii inside those areas, so no broaching required, and the outside wall thickness of the...

I have Solidworks and Solidcam.
For a newbie to CAM is Solidcam the best prog to use or is there something 'easier'?
It just seems to be alot of work...:(
Surely there is a more simple prog?
I'm...

HI all.

I'm trying to come to grips with Solidcam.
I have a part drawn in Solidworks and have playing with different ways of machining it on a 3 axix machine.
I think I have come to grips enough...
