Excitech CNC - Syntec Controller Users
Just wanted to get a thread up for those of us with the Excitech - Syntech Controller.
Hopefully we can use this thread to share our successes and work together to overcome our stumbling blocks.
Our background info - received our 1530C the first week of May. It came complete with Syntech controller, 10HP HSD Spindle, 10HP Chinese Vacuum Pump, Misting/Cooling System & 10HP Compressor and Dust Collection Unit. We have since purchased RouterCad's AutoCabinets, MDF Door and Dovetail Drawer Software, along with Enroute 4. We have a 1800sq/ft shop which is also home to a 2000lb Sissor Lift Table, Cehisa EP-8 Edgebander and numerous hand/assembly tools. Our shop also shares a large cyclone dust collection unit with the woodshop next door. We are looking to add a 4-5000lbs forklift to the mix in the near future.
We have already made agreements with local cabinet shops to start cutting & assembling cabinets. Initiallly this will be our bread and butter product, while we work on bringing several other product ideas to the market.
Hopefully other Syntech users can provide simular snapshot of their operation so that we can get an idea of what people are trying to accomplish and with what equipment/software.
All the best,
Spencer.
Stone the flamin crows mate - not good news
Sorry to see that Mitch.
Ideally we need to find somebody who speaks good english and knows the
Syntech controller.
Sounds like a crash course in the basic operation is called for.
I can think of several people that may be able to help. I will post a SOS on the camaster thread first. Jim`s friend Bill Glen may be able to advise.
Then there is Chris Geldmacher who sells Excitechs in South Africa.
Also maybe priestwood. I think that he went to China to buy his machine and may have been given a crash course while he was there.
I will make some enquiries. Let`s get this show on the road.
Rocket.
It's like deja-vu, all over again.
Hello David,
As the Yogi Berra quote above states, it sounds familiar to my experience. Is your controller in English? Mine was in Chinese and Taney sent me instructions on changing to English. I can send you the file if you need it.
Good Luck, Mitch
