Great job. Really enjoyed hearing about the machine.

@bkgoddard 4 месяца назад

I am looking forward to the speeds and rigidness of this design. I want to take my CNC to a higher level and I believe you guys have hit the mark.

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

We listened to what we heard people saying and tried to nail it! Thanks for the vote!

@kevinbrigadier3325 4 месяца назад

I'm watching this product closely and have the March 27th live stream marked on the calendar. I think you guys are becoming next level and changing the industry for the better. Keep up the good work.

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

Dang! Thanks Kevin!! We really appreciate the kind words and support! We hope we're making a positive difference too!

I added linear rails to my Sienci long mill about 2 years ago. The mod was pretty easy, and I personally saw a lot of improvement on my cuts.

@BuckysCustoms 4 месяца назад

Lots of really cool features on this! Really excited to get mine! Great work!

Thanks Dana! We appreciate the kind words, as always 😀

@tooljack4439 4 месяца назад

great job guys. I've had the LongMill for nearly 4 years. Still love it. If I had a bigger shop, I'd get the AltMill asap.

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

Thanks @tooljack4439! We're glad you love your LM! Maybe one day the AltMill will find a home in your shop too! 🤞

Unlessh the Kraken!

@ryanm2214 Месяц назад

Admittedly I was concerned about it being a pre-order still in June until I read a blog regarding supply chain shortage of the harness. Being in the automation distribution realm, I know it's a thing and can understand. Do you folks intend to stock up on any replacement parts / repair kits etc?

@chrishayes5755 2 месяца назад

looking forward to seeing direct comparisons vs onefinity elite. your machine looks real nice!

@roy-pm2ns 4 месяца назад

We'll have more updates as things progress. Stay tuned!

@TheAyotteMan 24 дня назад

I'd like to know more about the table itself. Do you all have a video you can post that focuses on the table and its rigidity?

@gregreinhardt1293 2 месяца назад

This thing looks awesome!...I'm buying one.

@ClintonCaraway-CNC 4 месяца назад

I hope you will be able to purchase the base machine and add things like your preferred controller and spindle.

@kenbouchard834 4 месяца назад

I was thinking the same thing! Adding a Masso controller and the PWN ATC system would really make this the ultimate machine for the price.

@villageidiot8718 4 месяца назад

I believe limit switches are an absolute must. Sh!t happens, and I want the stepper to STOP when it does. I really wish I could afford one of your machines. Very interesting video. Oh, and the machine is nice too 😀

@wiremonkeyshop 4 месяца назад

Any plans for a smaller version? Also, backlash and repeatability numbers? Also, what firmware are you running. I'm guessing this is an ESP32 based board. FluidNC?

@robmurphy643 3 месяца назад

Excellent.

@puromike 4 месяца назад

Yes offer a full package like the beginners package. that’s an awesome idea. A discount for repeat costumes would be nice lol. This will be my 3rd machine from you guys lol

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

We really appreciate the love and support! ❤️ We're still working on what to include for the launch.

@jamesyon5818 3 месяца назад

I was seriously thinking of purchasing ONE of the competitors machines. Now that you all came out with this machine I have changed my mind. I have an original longmill and a MR 4x4 which is poorly engineered . It looks like you all blew this one out of the water. looking forward to making this my next purchase.

@SienciLabs 3 месяца назад

That's awesome news James! Thanks for the support!

@ryanm2214 Месяц назад

I too was solidified on ONE and now, not so much lol. This Altmill package looks stellar.

@The_Olivier 4 месяца назад

great job... are you planing on having a smaller version of it? like a 24x48? or something like that.

@boko3155 4 месяца назад

There is lots of talk! I hope so too! 🤞

@markgibson3815 4 месяца назад

You mentioned one plug to the wall is it gonna be 220 or 110 and where could I get more information about the power voltage usage because I’ll be bringing in Electrician to my shop soon

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

Power for motion/control of the machine will be through 110V at the wall, and we’re planning to offer a spindle for 110V power as well.

@boko3155 4 месяца назад

Yes.

@chrispelletier3661 4 месяца назад

Looks awesome!

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

Thanks! We think so too! 😎🙌

@danconnelldesigns3168 3 месяца назад

I see the machine is moving with the spindle not spinning. Is that a setting in gsender, or is there a separate way to control the spindlem? I am interested in using a drag knife. Will this machine support that?

@SienciLabs 3 месяца назад

Yes spindle control is fully independent, it can be on or off when moving the machine around. Drag knives that mount straight into the spindle collet are totally doable to implement, then just use a design software that supported making drag knife toolpaths

@emostorm7 4 месяца назад

I'm comparing this to my Onefinity (non-elite), and wow -closed loop, spindle option, sub 3K price, 4x4 :0. I almost got a longmill instead of a OF, but ball screws. However, now, Altmill, way to go guys. Wonder if i can incorporate that spindle kit with my OF..? Will it be available separately? Either way, gratz.

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the love! We're still working out all the kinks! ❤️

@southernjoes8372 13 дней назад

Nice looking system definitely beefier than my MK2 48x30. I like the fact you guys went with closed loop motors and ball screws. oh what size ball screw are you using?

@SienciLabs 13 дней назад

I believe they are 16mm ball screws on the X and Y, 12mm on the Z

@thebunnyluvr 4 месяца назад

Will the super board support auto tool change? That's my next upgrade while owning a 2.2kw spindle

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

What sort of ATC system are you thinking of using?

@chrismcn 4 месяца назад

Chopping at the bit to get!😊😊

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

That's what we like to hear!

@billysmether6237 4 месяца назад

The ball screws do not like dust at all. You have to have a vacuum system. Thanks.

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

Yes we’re currently working on a dust collection system for this machine!

@yepididthis3475 4 месяца назад

@@SienciLabs For the dust collection port, can you also include a fitting size for a 6" fitting? I run a heavy dust collection system and have to keep modifying tools to keep up.

@endlesslybrowsing6559 4 месяца назад

Great price. Id snag one if they were available right now. Unfortunately i need to purchase within the next week or two.

What is the vice or workholding tool used here? Thanks.

@SienciLabs Месяц назад

The vice shown in some of the aluminum cutting clips is just a no-name 4" (wide) milling vise

I am already on the purchase list.....when will you be either taking a deposit or having it for sale?

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

Tentatively scheduled for late March!

@about2acres824 2 месяца назад

Question. Why is the AltMill only showing the 1.5KW spindle option but in the video the he stated that the machine had a 2.2KW?

@SienciLabs Месяц назад

For some of our earlier testing, we had left on a 2.2kw spindle so that we could try to push the limits of the machine. Most of the cutting shown here could still be done with a 1.5kw spindle. The machine is even more capable with spindles more powerful than 2.2kw, but offering anything above 1.5kw requires 220/240V power and would be a limitation for many in a home garage/workshop without this.

@about2acres824 Месяц назад

@@SienciLabs What cuts can you not do that you are showing on YT?

@imeach2897 День назад

@@SienciLabs what about countries with "real electricity" 220/240v 😂😂

@cuzzman01 4 месяца назад

When you do your rigidity test it may be better to mount a solid bar instead of the spindle. Some of that deflection will be in the spindle and tool. Take that out of the equation, it's the X and Z axis rigidity that's important.

@SienciLabs 4 месяца назад

We use similar methods to isolate components for testing during designing/prototyping. With an infinitely rigid spindle and tool the machine would certainly be even more performant, but in this case we prefer to show people what practical rigidity results they might see since no spindle or tool is perfect!
