I completed the Vital Integra upgrade. It's not too troublesome. Though a few gotchas. I'm running windows 10 with Mach4 presently.
Prior to this I was using ESS on Windows 10 with mach3. It's...
So... I've just ordered the Vital Hicon Integra for a Syil X4 Plus. It's going to be a difficult knitting job to get it set up in place. I'd be interested in what you have considered/done so far.

Raising this thread from the dead - apologies. I've been searching far and wide to answer a few questions, but I've run out of luck.
Mach4 Build 2914, Windows 10 Pro on Surface 1. Syil X4+ with...
Nick,
The problem couldn't be replicated on my X4+ (Also using ESS). A floating pin (Pin 9 of port = Safety Charge Pump) & a parasitic frequency of 12.5Khz could result in this happening to you....
Yes - started as stated. Backed it down a little to 650mm/min because I'm chicken. I'm flying through the project now.
No more tinsel (The original problem where buckets of it were being...
Good man! Glad to see that this has worked out well for you. I'm spending a few hours cutting out a new drain before I go through further tests.
Does anyone else's Sphincter tighten a little...
Use the tools function that can be found to the right of the ribbon to set up your tools. Not from the milling operations dialog.

All,
This has been a pleasure. I suspect that a few folk have learned something new about feeds and speeds in a HSM space. I'll look to video the results this weekend & post for further input...
I am confused about the use of 'optimal load' (Within the scope of Fusion 360 adaptive clearing). It isn't WOC, so I'm led to believe. There isn't a WOC setting.
Default Optimal load is set at 40%...
Please, no. The amount of educational value here is more than I have researched on the topic to date. I suggest we keep running.
There seems to be a significant difference in philosophy - both old...
Gents, For the record - I really appreciate all of the input here. Very valuable & based on real-life experiences.
The original posting posed a question about chip clearage, but I think chip...
Right you are! Let me give it a shot and post my notes back here.
10mm 2 flute carbide EM,

This translates to 6%'ish WOC?
Resulting in an imperial result of;
Material: 7075-T6 Aluminum 150 HB
Tool: 0.394in 2FL Carbide None Solid End Mill

All suggestions and comments have been really helpful. Thank you. I suspect that I'm not pushing hard enough, though clearly will quickly hit the limits of what an X4 is capable of.
I took a good...
All, Pretty new here. I'd rather not step into a Syil V's Tormach debate. Being from the UK, I did review options / price & X4+ fell within my budget.

All, Do you know if similar is available for the x4+? I'm convinced that the bellow chip guards are not brilliant with flood coolant.

ATB,

Marts - Did you sort out the estop in the end? Mine clicks. Even see a momentary flash of the estop light in mach3 dig. Yet mach3 doesn't stop. Possibly more mach3 than Syil. Incidentally 2015 X4...
No, nothing. Frustrating to have a somewhat non-standard, unmarked bulb. So, I've switched out for an LED equivalent at 2.5 watt equivalent of 20w dichroic. Bonus is that it now runs cooler. Thereby...
All, Newbie. Running X4+ for past few months. So far, the only problem that has occurred is - the 24v work light bulb has blown. Does anyone know what Wattage the bulb is? Nothing in documentation.
