Good advice. Thanks for that. There is a table on their website comparing V28 with previous versions but I can't find anything on Std vs Pro. I might just drop them an email.

Thanks for the replies
Lots to look at so.
My 5 days has already passed :o
Hard to dedicate the time to it especially when starting from way back at V23!

Hi
I've tried to find specific details on this question so sorry if it is repeated but it is very hard to find factual info in this forum with the amount of off topic stuff that happens in some of...

I don't check into this forum much anymore (too many trollls unfortunately) but I just wanted to log in to add my satisfaction with my X4+. I've had it since 2008 at this stage and it continues to...

You had an X4 - really? My impression from your previous posts was that you never bought a Syil and that you bought a Denford????

As referenced here...

You had an x5 - really? I was under the impression that you never saw a Syil in person or never had one - see your post in this link

Just wanted to add to this thread - I've a Syil X4+ and have had it since early 2008 - probably one of the first. I'm not a reseller. I am happy with the machine. Yes I did have a problem with a...

If you are looking for both light weight for plasma and rigidity for router did you think about making a two part gantry. Was just thinking you could have a lightweight gantry for plasma and then...

Sorry but I have to ask....
Have you contacted Syil China directly or are you asking questions through this forum?
If the latter then perhaps you might want to re-think your communication methods?...

Wow that sounds very interesting - any pictures or more details? I don't have a lot of info on your question but perhaps you could explain a bit more what kind of parts you want to machine and what...

Hi
To be honest although I have teh 4th axis I have yet to use it - it's one teh list of things to do.....along with a million other things

It won't be the first Syil machine in Ireland. I've had an X4plus here since April '08. :)
I also saw a Syil C6 lathe advertised for sale here last year.

Hi iGGe
I've sent you a PM. I was wondering if you would sell your Tormach system if you are not planning on using it exclusively?

Might be worth asking were you doing anything else close by when the machine was running?
Something similar happened to me recently when I was Tig welding in the same area while my X4+ was running....

Sharpshooter - I've seen your posts on here for a long time. Always negative and always bashing Syil. Yet I don't believe you even own a Syil machine.
I'm curious to as to why.
Why don't you tell...

Hi Ed
I use Bobcad (V22 last year and V23 now) and the post processor from BobCad (available from their website) works fine. (I am using the Mach3 Metric post processor though but that should not be...

Check e stop wiring connections. I'm assuming the E-stop is normally closed so if it goes open - i.e a wire comes off the switch then it is the same as pressing the button.

On the coolant - yes I agree flushing out chips is a big want for me too.

There's a thread on here where the guy built a very nice enclosure
...

I'm looking forward to following this thread - hopefully it will continue. I still have trouble settling on feeds and speeds. Like has been said previously I should really sit down and just...

Hi segengineering
I think one of the things you are missing here is that you have to negotiate to get a good price. You are quoting figures of thousands which to be fair you are getting from...

Yes there is.

In Mach 3 if you set up the limit switches to be home switches only (i.e. not limit switches) then you will get more X travel out of it. I think my X4+ is about 395 to 400mm (from...

This may not be much help to you but I have found the cutting conditions / speeds and feeds system to be unreliable. I mainly use aluminium for my parts but I find that frequently the speeds and...

Hi
That would be great if I could post it here for me. I don't have the ATC.

Thanks The One
I had not modified my post and I had download build 1326. My post didn't have the z_f part in it. The post processsors on the support site also didn't have it.
So my post line 64...

Hi The One
Can you tell me if this change should be done to all post processers or was it just for the one posted? I'm running Mach 3 Metric.

Yes
I just got it on Friday. I upgraded to Mill Pro and High Speed pocketing. I haven't played with it a lot yet but I am a little bit concerned because the few times I did try to test it, the...

Mine is a 240V but it runs fine on a standard 13 amp plug. Never blown a fuse.

Thanks Frans
I will check which rev I have but it is probably Rev 1.1 because Syil sent me both interface boards + the screen and keypad board to replace. I have repalced all of these.

I know...

Can anyone here with an X4+ help me with the connections between the two interface boards (1 & 11). I replaced teh boards on my machine for the newer type with the network type cable conenction...

When you switch the mill to cnc mode and start up Mach 3 - then hit the resst button on mach 3. I know you said you can hear a few clicks with the mill but to confirm - at this stage do you see a...
