Hi Ian, to answer your questions.
1) We tried machining straight away. The major issue was the Z design. We asked for 500mm travel. Omni simply increased the length of their 20mm al plate on the Z...
Do not trust Omni. Please read my other Thread on our experience. Yes they know how to use Facebook. But it doesn't change the fact they are dishonest, have no apparent engineering capability and...
No not iGolden. We purchased from Omni. DO NOT use them. Please read my thread "I would not buy a wheelbarrow from Omni". Ask any questions - but apologies as I only login on occasion.
CPdad93. Agree with your sentiments. Just to set the record straight, I live in New Zealand and have no affiliation with any manufacturer. Second point of correction - very helpful until they have...
Wow, this would be funny if it weren't so sad. Omni do not have engineers in their company. They do not even have assemblers with a sense of engineering pride. We received our Omni CNC a month ago (6...
Day 5 and another discovery. We pulled up a couple of bolts on one of the linear rails (and so took the bolt caps out) to get a sense of how easy it will be to fix the wavy rails issue. Seems Omni...
Did you lay down your cash for an Omni? If you are still thinking about DONT. Mine was delivered last week and is a train smash much like the others discussed here. Zach is just plain dishonest. That...
4th day of commissioning – hopefully we are at the bottom of the rabbit hole.
Today's “discoveries”
- Spindle has rust inside ER32 collet taper - will try and attach picture
- Syntec 21ma has...
Yeh, you are dead right. I have some background in this and agree with your sentiments on 0.02mm being very hard / un achievable. But it was Omni who offered the 0.02mm. We asked how accurate they...
We laid down US$20k on a 3x1.5x500mm Omni with 4th axis. They are rouges - 6 months late, a lot of dishonesty and very poor workmanship - I should have known better (have a look at my recent posts)....
Michel72, we just received our Omni this week. If you are seriously considering a CNC message me. In short Omni are dishonest, with no engineering capability or quality of workmanship. There are much...
Day 4 of commissioning. Math by Omni. 0.3mm < 0.02mm :)
We spent most of the morning dial testing the linear rails. In truth, it got so discouraging we stopped testing after the y rails.
At...
Thanks. We own it now. So having fun fixing...
Did they seem to be better a year or two back? In hindsight they were the wrong company for what we wanted (higher specd machine). What is so frustrating is that with a small increase in design and...
For clarity, Omni came back with either we pay the full amount, or no machine. So we paid the full amount.
CNC Router manufactured by Omni CNC Ltd for Company – Readiness and Quality Assessment v03b 5/9/2019 including final proposal to Omni

Seems its not so easy to post attachments. Summary of PO/spec.
Specification
Company are purchasing a customised 1530 ATC CNC router from Omni CNC Ltd (Omni). The specifications of the CNC are...
Day 3 of commissioning. Key issues:
- Tool changer settings out by approx. 1cm so tool change command crashes spindle into tool
- Mouse pooh in Vacuum pump air filter
- Y linear rail wavy (+0.14mm...
In the end we paid over US$20k for a highly spec'd 1530 + C machine. Zach, who runs Omni, admitted during one of the many discussions over changes they needed (after our deposit was paid) that he...
Just in day two of commissioning an Omni 1530. I will never deal with them again. Dishonest, no engineering capability or sense of workmanship. I cannot overstate how poor they are. We were very...
