Very, very bad experiences with Omni. Too many con games. Try Max at NewTopCNC on Alibaba. No reply needed.

Very, very bad experiences with Omni. Too many con games. Try Max at NewTopCNC on Alibaba. No reply needed.
It sounds as though you are getting a basic machine with standard Chinese components. Mechanically the machine will run. If you must comply with local commercial safety standards, you will need to...
Omni take on contracts that they cannot fulfill properly. They cost me another $625 because of a local DDU shipping SNAFU. Promised control features were not included in the control panel and in the...
I don't know how much this will help you, but there are grades of collet and collet nut. The basic level (supplied with mine) are 1 grade above lathe std and are not good for CNC. They are in...
Victor, Again you have missed the subtleties of the points made in my last post. You muddy the waters with incorrect information and sound like a Chinese factory representative here to help the...
Victor, It's clear to me that English is not your first language. There is nothing wrong with this, but your English comprehension is often a problem and your replies do not focus on the salient...
Victor, In the case of my machine, it was never about late arrival at the destination because of shipping problems. One of my contacts here in Canada from whom I bought a refitted laser cutter has to...
Brian, be very careful with these guys. See my posts in this forum. Make sure that EVERYTHING that you want in your machine configuration is in the contract. They are losing repeat business according...
I emailed the message below to Sunny Sun at Omni a couple of days ago and have had no response from him or Zach Sun. This Omni 1325 CNC router took 2 years to build and there were many games on his...
I'm not trying to insult you. The inspection of the building and the equipment are 2 separate issues. You are probably right about the space heaters too. It is possible to use the machines without...
8mm steel, you may get 6mm for a lot of it. My inspection showed this by micrometer. Also, I have read that not all of the seams joining the legs and the table are welded.
You're a bit behind the news. The UL & CSA settled this issue in court 4-5 years ago. They now accept each other's marks. Yes, the HSD spindle and the Becker vacuum pump only have CE but are very...
You are in the UK, so CE marks are OK, although there is no guarantee that your parts and wiring are to BS or EEC standards. Beware fire hazards. In Canada UL/CSA extended tests are required for...
Go to inventables and get a UC100 cable.

You should be able to get a rough total by adding up the watts or amps of all motors on the machine. 1500W (actually 1800W) = 15 amps and 700W = 1HP. Add 20% for surges or get a slow blow fuse. Dave
Gfacer2, I received replies to my Alibaba, etc RFQ from 60 factories, received 3 fake UL certificates, got exactly the same stories about how CE was OK + quality from each one. Talked to them about...
I did UL/CSA too. I provided everything required and they still couldn't get it right. The ground wires in one control panel build were black!! So remember the international wiring colour codes. Once...
Welcome to the real world of the assembly plant known as Jinan Omni. Their techs are trained in house, the sales and tech staff do not understand technical issues.
The sales staff use translation...
You have many choices for shipping denoted by abbreviations. FOB seems the cheapest, but is paperwork intensive and you pay all the fees. I chose DDU. This means that the factory and shipping agent...
Standard DB25 to USB cables are serial, not parallel configuration.

The other option is an ethernet to parallel port...
There is a trade off here involving convenience, cost and technical safety. The CSA costs more for a field inspection, but have a lot of extended safety standards. In talking to my local CSA branch...
Local inspection is possible for ~$500 by your local city inspection group. That is the first place to start. They will ask for a few changes and apply an ETL sticker. David
Dear readers, if you believe everything that you are told, I have news for you! The moon is made of cheese! Seriously, if you see a CNC machine with an FDA certification, you should question it and...
As I sit here waiting for my machine to arrive after 5 sets of photos over many months announcing that the machine is finished and further scrutiny of those photos, I am concerned that many Chinese...
Here is a quote from a Taiwanese supplier. Use Google advanced search terms to find more in China. In the US, I use Wesbell wire & cable. You can check UL nos and certificates using the UL-directory...
I posted the international colour codes in the Chinese machines forum. What they do is use whatever wire is used for the domestic market and leave you to replace it. That attitude must change.
Yes, that sums it up. Email Sunny Sun. He does come here and answer technical questions in English.
It should be obvious from the advertizing brochures from many of the CNC machine factories that many of them produce units that are variations on the same pattern. The available options, build...
G59, you're correct. If you're buying from Ebay, then 'caveat emptor' applies. Many Chinese suppliers of household goods do meet OUR safety standards, but with the tools and certainly CNC machines...
