Been following along on your journey and it’s great to see you expanding. Congrats on the new machine, and I totally understand making your own fixtures with retail 5th axis pricing.
@@dakotabass42 i found a company that will grind the taper to .0002" @ 8in which should be good for us. one nice thing about the Haas machines is that the spindles are rated for 100% duty cycle.
OK now you've peaked my interest. I've seen a video of a part inspected on a Zeiss Calypso CMM and you showing near zero spindle run out that blows me away. The spindle sounds super smooth. I'm confident Syil has a machine that can do my tight tolerance tiny parts and fit two machines in the same space. Is the granite composite an option or standard?
Seems like decent quality machine, way above the toymach, torturemach, or whatever it’s called. That actually looks like a industrial cnc machine. Small but still, looks the part and specs are good.
I have an older yellow table top X5 that I bought and want to get set up this summer. Mine has a 24K rpm spindle and runs off mach 3. I have not ran this machine yet. I think the new X5 enclosed minimill setups are sweet, but they are $24k and I think my mill new was around $10K and much more like a Tormach CNC, but with Hiwin bearings and ball screws. Can you compare the differences in the old yellow X5 vs the new X5? Do they use any of the same components? Can you upgrade an old X5 to a newer X5 in your opinion?
I think it is wild that your Syil has better runout than the bread and butter VF2 that almost every shop in America has or has had...talk about resting on your name...
it's hit and miss. we have had other machines from haas that have had super low run out. Overally our VM2 has been great. it just so happens that our spindle is laround .0006-or .0007 at 6 inches. www.haascnc.com/service/troubleshooting-and-how-to/how-to/vmc---spindle---taper---maintenance.html
@@NerdlyCNCthat's mad?! I've little experience, but my Brother Speedio measures 1-2 microns of runout at the flutes of a tool about 100-110mm from the spindle nose (so about 4"). This with hydraulic (or a shrink) holder. Perhaps I misunderstand what you are measuring but it must surely have a visible impact on finish quality with such high runout?
any chance you could tell me the max power you draw during use? Syil has conflicting power requirements in their literature. i know they recommend American Rotary 15HP phase converter-- but i wonder if they follow American Rotary guidance of oversizing 2x
I have thought of a design for a 3D Printer. But it will have so much torque and nanometer presision. Its only top down thow. There is no direct Linear Motion except for the head it's self, it's a type of Rotary Motion inside of another Rotary Motion. It can also be used for cnc/mill 2D top down only. For the entire build there is NO gears, belts/pulleys, rods/screws, will never need leveling or homing, always knows its position even if you could make the computer lose count of its steps. And I am not joking. I'm learning FreeCAD now to get this into reality
Companies like Kern and Sodick use Linear motors for machining....with insane speed and accuracy. IMO thats the pinnacle of machining...from what i understand the heat is a serious issue. Cheers, Jason
Hello my friend we have a section in our shop or one guy cuts 4“ x 4“ square curb and all day long 24 seven nonstop machine is called a riders comes with a tool carrousel and an add-on carousels board and all your carbon 24 seven lights out machine
