You can set the manual white balance on you 80D so that it is fixed. You currently use the auto balance mode, which would not change anything when you buy a new camera. It would be the same when you use it in auto mode.
Hello from AK. Great video Jay. I went back and forth for awhile between HAAS snd SYIL. Finally settled on a HAAS…but I’m with you I believe the SYIL is a great machine for the money and would serve someone well. My final decision was based on support plus the few guys I know up here are HAAS guys. Another reason was a pretty heavily optioned TM-0p was not much more out the door than the SYIL. I will state I have ZERO cnc experience, I’m learning as I go. Thanks again.
The gap between the face of the spindle and the flange in the tool holder is 3mm. The nominal distance from the face of the spindle to the gage line is 1.5mm The tolerance on this dimension is not very tight since the main goal is ensuring there is a sufficient gap between the spindle face and the flange of the tool.
Thanks for the video. Ive been looking at both the X7 and tormach. Leaning heavily toward the X7 at this point. Seems like its in a class above Tormach for a relatively similar price point.
Interesting addressing accuracy and precision. Repeatability is often in the specifications most CNC machines suggest plus or minus 0.0002 inch with a positional accuracy of plus or minus .0.0002 combined taken at extremes radial error would be taking the full error (Square root of (.0004^2 + .0004^)) that's the best you could hope for. My experience I have found most CNC machine have sweet spots where everything aligns least amount of variation exist. I would favor hard mill work to a side and position on the machine not the sweet spot to savor and save the sweet spot for when the work called for it. A consideration. Good points here nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jay My X7 is on a container ship somewhere - left 5 days ago for Australia. You mentioned that there has been some Syntec controller firmware upgrades. How quickly does Syil China make these upgrades available for existing X7s owners with the Syntec 22MA controller?
X7 has always been my way to go CNC for a small scale business. Everyone that knowns a bit about CNC cannot dislike this machine. In its price range there is no competition with other new machines out there. IF you try to build the same machine DIY you will end spending the same amount of money than buying it. The only one that comes with better price (but not epoxy granite structure) are the VMC 420, 422 and 425 from another Chinese brand. They are around 11-14K all included. Really nice too
@@____________________ok(post keeps getting deleted which is sad) Not sure if it's RU-vid policy but do not think so unfortunately 😰. Anyhow those machines are sold on Aliexpress under VMC 420, 422 or 425. Easy to find them and with the same name you can find a guy on RU-vid that has got one recently. Otherwise look at allcncrouter They are no joke too. Hiwin rails, ATC, AC servos on all axis and spindle, multiple controllers available like Syil ecc...
@@7alfatech860 Do not know why my comments keep getting deleted, but anyhow I edited my previous comment. The actual name is VMC420, 422 and 425. That's why you could not find it.
@@____________________ok Yes, I have corrected my first post now. Anyhow same story here. I have been converting a BF20L for the past years and got pretty close to that total cost. I am thinking of selling it and import one of the VMC422 or 425 model. The price value is unbeatable and components used are good. I use the same Ac servo for the spindle and know well Hiwin rails and the AC servos they use for axis. I can tell it's a really good deal. Plus shipping is like 900$
Hi there I'm looking at purchasing my 2nd machining centre I was thinking of haas mini mill 2 but in Australia there very expensive for size of the machine so I'm very interested in the syil x7 I need rigid tapping which controller on this machine has this option? Also what post processor does it use ? Is it just fanuc post ? Cheers Mark
I've had good luck with my X7 only a few issues. I'd say that 1100mx is a bit more user friendly for one-offs and prototyping but no question the X7 is very fast , accurate and rigid. they are both similar in that you will most likely service the machine your self if someting goes wrong. Wesley , George , Jeff and Doug are amazing and always go out of their way to take care of their customers.
So, just for full disclosure, you received this machine for free with the sole purpose of being an influencer. Are you still running your Super Mini mill or did you move forward with acquiring a 5-axis mill?
Ill trade anyone my brand new 1100mx fully loaded (36k$) probing, tool setter, ATC, operators console, micro arc 4th axis, and every tool holder they offer for a SYIL X7
