Hello everyone,
can you guys share what gcode you use to probe X, Y and Z faces ?
I purchased an Syil V5 and Syil X7, both with LNC controllers, both have a wired Pioneer TP400 probe.

Hello everyone,
We just received the 2 new Syil machines, an X7 (16 tool ATC) and an v5 (12 tool ATC) and I try to familiarize with the industrial-type controllers, as in the past 8 years I only...
My Y axis driver broke yesterday, RED led solid on, one pin from the green Pheonix connector was burned, not to bad but burned. I was able to replace one mosfet which was shorted and today I was able...
So far so got, yesterday my Tormach milled from 9 AM to 7PM .. everything was ok, today everything is running normal.
There is a posibiliity that I purchased a very bad glass fuse lot, the first one I mounted today I noticed (after 1 - 2 hours) when I tried to remove it , that the metal cap can be removed very...
It seems the new 15A fuse I mounted has burned ! visually there isn't anything wrong with it, but when I tried to remove the metal covers from the glass it clearly shows it was burned.
I noticed...
I posted the Electrical schematic that came with the mill, the Relays that power the 48v transformer and the VFD are C1 and C2, but I don't see the control line of those relays in the schematic. I...
I checked the transformer, INPUT / OUTPUT, everything seems fine.

I will try to focus on this board, the DC BUS board, will check all other fuses and post back if I find...
Hello everyone,
something weird happen yesterday evening, I was slowly moving Z axis down to place my endmill just above the raw material, the plan was to make a quick conversational program to...
I received the machine about a month ago and it's looking quite good, I like the Electronics cabinet, all the wires are well arranged. But I didn;t had time to power it on, I was so busy and now we...
I also have some doubts regarding RACK and PINION system, does it have any backlash problems? will the backlash of rack&pinion affect the milled parts size?
I want to ask the manufacturer to mill...
Romania.
In the mean time I talked with a Robotec sales guy to ask more details, what I didn't like was :
1. Aluminium profiles on the chinese roter seem to be very thin, is there ANYONE THAT...
Hello everyone.
I started using a CNC router, now about 6 years ago, a buddy of mine made one with a working area of 600x900mm, he used 5 Wantai NEMA 34 steppers, drivers and power source, and a...
I think I will get a CORMAK BS 170G , this has a much larger blade than my current bandsaw (13x0.6mm compared to 20x0.9mm on the Cormak) I hope this new tool will make my life easier :D Will let you...
Doesn't the abrasive discs change the properties of the material (maybe hardening ?) when cuting the material ? I don't know why I never seen anyone cutting using abrasive discs (I didn't see to...
@Jim Dawson Thanks for the intormation, the last cutting dies I made I tried to first use the belt grinder on the sides where there was mill scale, and than only mill the side on the mill.
I...
Stall ?? With what end mill diameter and what RPM ? As with the wrong settings and end mill you can stall a 3kw spindle too. When I was milling I was using very few Watts even if the depth of cut was...
I don;t know how high RPM are you thinking to use, I was milling with 12k - 14k in that movie. Aluminum is not that easy to mill because it sticks to your endmills, if the RPM is too high it will...
@Sergio76 My machine has a work area of 880 x 600mm, the VFD and spindle are both 2.2kw but if you want a 3kw VFD and a smaller spindle I don't see what could be wrong (other than spending extra...
I have the 2.2kw water cooled spindle and I'm very happy with it, it's almost 5 years since I use it daily and it's still running nice. I don't know why but until I added an mist emulsion system to...
@awerby I only have issues in the first stage, where I need to flatten and make all side parallel, and only the small carbide inserts get dull, with the cylindrical 4 flute carbide end mills I can...
Hello everyone,
it's been almost one year since I started out to mill steel on my Tormach PCNC1100, I still have alot to learn but there is one thing I must improve ASAP, because I loose a lot of...
ohh so DTI comes from Dial Test Indicator, I have 2, one for height measuring with a high 1" range and another one similar to yours that I only used foar measuring how parallel I mounted the vise, I...
One-off unfortunately. What DTI is ? So you too suggest to buy also a smaller tip (I didn't know it's called stylus, I know now :) ) I believe there is no way to change the default retract distance...
So far I don't have any tight tolerances from the clients, an error of 0.1mm is acceptable, it will be visible when milling the exterior contour on side B, but in most of the cases it won't affect...
Hello guys,
I only made about 7 steel part on my Tormach so far, almost all the parts needed to be machining on the other side, so for setting the origin on the flipped part, I used the only...
If anyone used the EVO circular blade, or can suggest which one should be better for tool steel ? I just cut another steel part on my bandsaw and it went much faster, the steel I cut in the video...
Or this one, it's even cheaper, when I started to cut my aluminum and brass stock with something like this I was impressed how fast I could cut a 40mm thick 7075 aluminum, but I never think I could...
I googled now for "cold saw" and indeed the price is much higher I'm ok to pay for a new tool ($6500 for a manual operated Scotchman CPO 275 PK), but I found one band saw that has "automatic feed"...
My bandsaw is manual, I have to hold it with my hand, can't do anything else while cutting with the bandsaw :(
I hope their cutting fee is not too high, I called them and sent an email with...
