ljwibb,

The road to controller upgrade was a difficult journey.
It took a software upgrade and many emails, skype sessions and videos of the issues before I got to a successful outcome. The...

Dave,

Its a bit hard to answer your question, it depends on what you want from the machine. The Syil X7 is a small, low cost copy of a bigger VMC. I like the counter weight on Z (no gas struts or...

I have a Syil X7 and recently upgraded the ADTech controller to an ADT4640 control.
Would anyone know the Parameter settings for this controller? My machine has the older HB206 stepper drivers....

Ray, Thanks for sharing a very useful tip. Laughed when I read this. You must have a delicate touch when tightening the vise handle not to have noticed something "not quiet right"

Ray,
Thank you for the reply. Its good news and bad news isn't it, yes it will be able to handle BT30 and adaptable to my Syil but I have to wait 12 months. Well, I am a patient person and I feel...

Ray,
I have been following this thread for some time and really appreciate your explanation of the design stages. The development videos are great to watch too. I wish I had your electronics...

I was not suggesting Sandvik is the only tool to use in this situation. My post was to suggest a possible alternative method to rough out deep pockets. This principle of Z axis roughing could be done...

What about "plunge roughing / finishing"? What I mean is using the Z axis instead of the usual XY toolpath.
Sandvik has some useful Youtube videos.

this is just one video

Glider,

I am not an expert on steppers but suspect you may have done more harm than good by disassembling the stepper. There are 2 schools of thought on disassembling steppers, some say its not a...

Glider,

It sounds like it is loosing steps. Are you running code and taking aggressive cuts? Does the axis loose position when cutting air? Any description of what you are doing when it looses...

wwendorf (Wade)

Thanks for the reply.
I agree, it sounds like a parameter for max speed / acceleration rates. But I do not understand why its OK with the pendant but not when I run some code. I...

I am hoping someone can shed some light on programming the 4th axis for Syil mill fitted with AD Tech 4240 controller.
I have had the mill for some time but never used the 4th axis. When I plug in...

Neil,

One dealer in Australia is "Titan Machinery" in NSW.
"http://www.titanmachinery.com.au"
I have not asked for any info from Titan. Was hoping the Syil web site could have WORKING links to...

I have sent you a PM with my contact details. Its easier if you call to discuss rather then write a long winded report here.

ErnieD

I agree. An update would be appreciated. Come on Tormach, fill us in on where your up to with the new slant bed lathe. Whats worked and what are the issues.

Potential customers are...

Harry82,

I also live in Australia and have a friend that ordered a 1610L. I also liked the size and features of the machine and was ready to place an order when I saw what his machine was like....

okabum,

This may not apply to you but I had the same issue on an X7 with AD-Tech controller and VSD spindle drive. The previous owner had set the max speed in the AD-Tech to 4000RPM but the VSD...

Syil

My web page shows only ??????? for the video links and when I sellect the links it takes me to a fault page. Any chance you can upload to youtube directly?

Jeffery001,

I have a second hand X7 which I would like to enclose like the V7. If you still have the 3D model I would appreciate a copy.

Tried to PM you but your mail box is full. Can send you...

Syil,

I have left 2 PM with my email address. I have not received any X7 documents. Are they available? Please send.

ramax,

I have no tooling or pull stud to measure. Its a used machine with no manual or tools.
The "Maritool" web site in North America lists 6 different variations for BT30 tooling.
Gauge...

ramax

I have seen 2 pull studs for BT30 spindle. Both were different dimensions. I guess I will have to buy both and see which one works.

bubba,
The machine has a power draw bar. Not a...

asuratman,

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, this spindle does have power drawbar on BT30 tooling. Syil have it as an option, comes with air over oil actuator on top of the spindle.
Your machine sounds...

Hello everyone,

Can someone tell me what size pull stud is used for the BT30 air draw bar on the Syil X7.

Thanks in advance
Greg (new owner of pre-loved X7)

Syil,

Are ANY documents listed on the China web site under "support" (for X7) available?
I am trying to get the following information.

mcphill,

Tried your link to the cnc mill but my computer just goes to a blank page. Is there a web site? I'd be interested to see the machine.

Sorry to read of your rough sailing with the...

FWIW. Industrial machine tools are levelled at installation with an accurate machine tool level sitting on the table for both X and Y direction. Its amazing how "flexible" even a rigid casting can...

cncchina,

Are you saying the X7 is a good design? Rigid and able to take a reasonable cut is steel?

sharpshooter90

Thanks for the reply. You make valid points to consider, most of them I am aware of.
My issue is range and "rigidity" of machines available. I live in Australia so my options are...

digitalmdi

Thanks for the feedback on GOOD CNC. Perhaps they need to be more focused on delivering what they say.
Looks like they have lost another potential customer.
Pitty, it was the right...
