The ATC is now working. At this time I am now away from home for a week, but will post some pictures after I get home. I think I will also make a video of the mill doing rigid taping using the ATC...
I can't speak for other's experience but I purchased mine through His US Distributor, and have to say that I have had good service. In my case, while I did have limited contact with Defeng, the...
My bad!! I have been very negligent in updating my experience with my SVM2P. It arrived in late September, and ever since I have been installing and using it, but still not quite finished. I have...
Pictures will have to wait but My machine is now at the house. Two problems. The first is it will not fit through the door assembled. This means fully removing the Cabinet and disconnecting the...
I don't know about a 2 year wait. I ordered mine in April Could have had it shipped in July but since I wasn't ready for it asked them to do some additional work. It is now stateside working it's...
My machine is getting close to pickup time as well. It has made it through X-ray in Long beach and is being transported to Dallas. Expected release September 22. I have added so pictures of the...
Sorry I have been off line so long. I have found myself swamped with other activities. SkyFire offered to provide my machine with LinuxCNC and their schedule seemed to be quicker than I could find...
I have completed my trip to New England and am now waiting the arrival of parts from SkyFire and Mesa. Fedex Tracking has been updated to show expected delivery on May 5th.
In my previous post I...
While I am waiting for my Skyfire SVM-2. I am also trying to get a clearer picture on the SkyFireCNC Company. My impression is that it a Sole Proprietorship that has to date delivered about 15...
You can find more details on my approach on the following thread
New Machine Build- My Skyfire SVM-2 build
This order was for the parts I needed to do the advance work so I can have the controller...
I received the tracking notice for my first shipment from SkyFire. This includes one servo, and servo driver and a power drawbar for an SVM-1 that I will use on Seig X3 that I had converted to CNC. ...
This thread is used for a general Discussion of SkyFire CNC products. At this time they offer 3 sizes. SVM0, SVM1, and SVM2. This later model is based on the same castings as the Mikinimech 1019L....
On my most recent order from SkyFire the Fedex tracking Number gives an expected Delivery Date of May 3rd. This order was placed One week ago. I will report on it after the package is opened

My first step, is getting a computer ready to control. The computer I will be using is based on Gigabyte AMD AM1 FS1b Socket HDMI D-Sub mATX Motherboard GA-AM1M-S2H. It is housed in a Rosewill...

This is the forum where I first learned about SkyFire CNC. When I knew what to look for, I simply searched for SkyFire. You are more than welcome to look where you want, but for me I will...
Those familiar with SkyFire know the relationship of the Mikinimech machines and the Skyfire SVM-2. I am using the SVM-2P-1A as the base machine for my new build. The changes I am making is that I...
"Hi.....why not just post your inquiries in the vertical mill forum and include Skyfire in the thread titles so anyone can see what your aiming at.......that's where the now defunct Skyfire thread...
In my case they are shipping to Houston Texas, which about 4 hours from me. I chose to pick it up myself, as I didn't want to full with a freight company. You can have it delivered to your home,...

What configuration do you have of the SVM-2. Maybe I can help if I knew what we were dealing with. I do not have my SVM2 yet, but have built a couple of home brew machines and have seem...
For those of you who are interested in having a SkyFire Please look at the latest thread on the Mikinimech forum. At least it is a dedicated Vertical Mill for metal machining forum for a closely...
Why would you want me to be a moderator for it?
Actually that 3700 response thread is the problem that keyed this initiative. It has bountiful information hidden by about 100 to one ratio of noise.
Until we can officially have a SkyFire CNC forum, I suggest we post SkyFire threads here. Why you ask? The Mikinimech 1610L is no longer in production. The closest Machine to it is the SkyFire...
Thanks.
That is why I chose the AC servo. I wan't to use it for tapping and like lower speed.
Since Ren designed the Mikini probably so. My initial query to them was about upgrading to SV2 bt30 spindle and adding ATC. They were working on an estimate until I changed to make the purchase. ...
Hi John
I've tried to track down which model of the SV2 that you have. In looking at your thread it doesn't sound like the one I just ordered. I know that I went with the AC Servo spindle to...
Some problems occurred with the proposed purchase of a 1610L. As a result after communicating with David, Ren and Jan of SkyFire CNC I elected to purchase a SV2P1A with some mods. So now I wait for...
The main thing I think I would be saving is time. I would have the base capability as soon as I install. The BT30 spindle etc could possibly be shipped by air rather than boat. If I get the...
I plan on picking up my machine around april 21st. It is a minimum of a 3 day return trip, but I may delay the return a few days since my oldest son lives near the pickup point. I have contacted...
