New CNC Coming

[magicniner]

I have a Syil X7 arriving in a couple of weeks, full Siemens control and servo system with 4th axis.
I'll let you guys know how it goes ;-)

That sounds awesome. Looking forward to seeing pictures when it arrives.

Must be excited! You got me exited too! Looking forward as well.

Should be here this week, or early next week, a shipping delay has almost left me enough time to tidy up!

You ought to be grinning from ear to ear soon. I'm envious.
I'm still trying to get my X4+ back up and running (since August). Would love to have a bigger machine and the 4th axis.

Congratulations!
You must feel like a kid at christmas.

Here it is in place and levelled, still need to complete the shop wiring upgrade so not powered up yet.

At first glance kind of stirred the soul like a motorcycle can! How is the fit for you now that you have it in the flesh?

 

[magicniner]

Mark,
It's the biggest thing that would fit in the space available and run from my domestic mains supply, the machining envelope is slightly greater than I need. I'm glad I went with the Siemens control, servo and driver package.
This is a shot from the front -

This picture shows some of the reasons why I chose this machine, the castings have size and weight not present in other VMCs with this size and machining envelope.
