Question about your new X5
2ndSteel,
The Syil web site gives contradictory information about the y-travel: 5.86inch and 160mm for the y travel. Can you tell us the travels on your machine?
Also does it come with manual lubrication system or automatic (web site say automatic but pictures shows a manual one)?
So you cannot get the 200ipm rapids as advertised?
How is your spindle? Does it get to 5000rpm? Does it get warm?
Do the steppers get very warm?
Finally, do you think a few guys can move this thing by themself if disasembled?
Sorry for the many questions, I am really considering buying this machine but I hesitate between this one and the Tormach 770. I need to make a decision!
Anyway, congratulation and have fun!
Christian
