I'm I'm not very impressed with my 40 watt hobby laser.I'm over my one year warranty but I have maybe 300 hours in my machine before it broke down. Sent the broken power supply backbecause they said...

My smithy cnc lathe is garbage.

Yes i do

So my 2 Syil america x3 machines have done a great job, but after 6 years of near constant use, i have lost a driver, and apparently a controller board?

Since i am looking to replace them i am...

So smithy has informed me that they cant help me. Pretty much as i expected. Keep that in mind if you think about buying from them.

I spend a lot of money on machining equipment...they will never...

Thanks Matt.

I am not sure why you keep going after him flathead?

Thank you for your offer Mr. shaver. I am sure you have your heart in the right place.
However unless you have a refund, a drop in gasket, an updated operating system with
Wizards, or new coolant...

Sorry for my short replay that was from my cellphone.
The delayed responses is due tot he face that i have been working on a engineering degree, raising kids, and running my business.
In answer to...

Its my machine. I contacted smithy many times and came to the conclusion that i was on my own. i asked for a refund, they said that wasn't possible. The software is a joke, smithy really should be...

I am having the same problem....it wont slice the bobcad .stls with slic3r or pronterface

I wouldn't do that to some one else. It has cost me a ton of money but to pass this piece of crap on to another person isn't something i wouldn't do. I contacted art some time ago, and he said no...

Don't waste anytime or money on this machine. The software is so bad. Eztrol is nothing short of garbage, even chinese software works better. That's sad. Save ur money,

They have made a few emails and calls, largely it has been relegated to a future project as i have to continue using manual machines to do the job this one was purchased for.

I hope to move it to...

Smithy has contacted me and offered to pick up the machine and repair it. The relays are bad and not coolant proof, and the casing needs a gasket. It was a month late when they built it, and i think...

Id post pixs if it were running. Currently i am not very happy with the machine. Here is why..

1.The casing leaks badly, turn the coolant on and you have a shower out the back of the machine.

Can we buy replacemtn boards that will fix this?

Well i picked a second machine (new) for a steal. A company had bought it and gone out of Businese and never used it.

Anyway unlike my first machine it takes forever to ramp up to cutting speed,...

I would post in Syil section with this question...you will have better luck with help i think

Tottally off topic and unrelated.

I have been very pleased with the machine when its running. And richard has been great it has only been lately that they seem to MIA.

I didn't want to start a fight or any bashing i suspect my...

So i am over my warrenty and no one at Syil america returns calls any way, and i am wondering how to get a replacment driver and power source?

Is their a direct site somewhere selling these...
