Thanks for the tip. The Z travel and RPM's are not big/fast enough on those.

I talked to Jeff and he said ALL the X5's were pre-sold. Is this the same shipment or a second shipment?

Use caution my problem was hit or miss with no clear pattern. I had several crashes with the tool path display turned off, although that did help.

Moving the Z manually made no difference, you had already lost the steps, and your zero.
Starting the machine again without re-zeroing was the foolish thing. BUT how are you supposed to know???

I e-mailed syil america last week and Justin called when I was out. I'm only a few hours south and would love to come up and see a syil mill working. If they had a X5 in stock and I liked what I saw...

I hear what you're saying. If I have learned anything from my Tormach experience it is that no matter who you go with you are pretty much on your own if you have problems. That is with the exception...

I'm interested in a Syil mill.

Who is the best dealer, and what is the best way to contact them?

Does anyone know about delivery times?

It seems to have very little wear, but I'm not sure what to look for.

Cnc milling machine

The computer should be run from an inverter, or you have some other way of smoothing the power.

It should be 120 on each side = 240. If you have 250 on one side something is wrong.

They sent a mover yesterday to give them a quote on sending everything back. He called this morning to say accepted his bid and as soon as he had the money in hand he would come to get the mill and...

Series 3?

I would also rather convert back to series 2 than to be without a mill. Tormach refunded my money before working out ANY details, and are now sending a mover to come and get it. Even after I told...

There have been no CLEAR resolutions to any of the problems with the series 3 machines that I have heard of.
I think as more series 3 machines get into the marketplace we will see a lot more of the...

I do think if all series 3 owners ran the same type and as many programs as I have these problems would show up.

There have been more than a few problems with the series 3. S2jessie had some of...

Series 3

Tormach never did solve my problems, and I've had crashes with the tool path display turned off, and with programs as small as 56Kb.

What Tormach did was buy back my machine to quite my posts. I...

Is there anything that will do that kind of engraving in the $15,000.00 range???

I've had nothing but trouble with my CNC mill and I'm looking for alternatives.

Thanks Dave. I know little about lasers my sons are working with epilogs at the TechShop.

I would really love to know just what type of laser this is and what the specs are because they are doing...

I’m looking for a laser (under $20,000.00) for deep engraving in metal.

I saw a picture of a laser I would like to know more about. I could see T-300 on the side but I can find nothing with a...

+1 very user friendly.

I still have but have not been using the mill. That is stated in the post.

Right now I’m waiting for a pallet jack I ordered and need before I can move the mill.

We're new to all of this and not sure of anything. I quickly learned to live with this and didn't "page down" too close to my work. I only bring it up as a possible clue.

What I’m pretty sure of...

This has happened to me while using the page down key (Z not stopping when I let off the key) but it has always stopped short of breaking something.

Please keep us informed your problems sound...

Nope

Tormach did NOT send a new cable and did not ask me to try a new one. I would go out and buy one myself, BUT Tormach said they no longer want me running MY machine.

They want me to just bolt it...

How old is your series 2? I'm wondering how far apart our machines were made?

1) Yes I'm using Tormach's computer, they have replaced it once, and that didn't help.
2) Everything I'm running is on the upper end of the RPM range. I did have a couple of problems, but re-booting...

I understand that and take what everyone says with due caution. Some more than others ;)

Yes I have 3 videos showing lost steps, and several more pictures. The first 2 videos show lost steps at the end of long programs. Tormach was able to repeat those lost steps, and told me to turn off...
