Impressive how you can make such a definitive determination, sight unseen.
I have had a 1325 Chinese machine with a 4hp water-cooled spindle for 5+ years. My table surface is MDF with a vacuum hold-down because I mostly mill wood. I occasionally do small aluminum, and I...
I have a diamond set just like that that I use in my dremel.
I have looked at the spring-loaded diamond engraving bit, but there are a lot of reviewers who say the bits just can't hold up very long on glass.
I have never cut glass by hand. That's always an...
I saw a YT video yesterday where the scoring blade went beyond the corner and made and an arc in the direction toward the next line, rises, moves, and makes another arc to finish positioning the...
I've had my machine for several years now, mostly cutting wood products, plastics, and some aluminum. I've been wanting to try some stained glass projects for a while, and, naturally, I want my CNC...
I'm enjoying the machine. I've had it for 9 months, but only recently started making things for money. I purchased it as a side job and wasn't in any hurry to seek out sales. There was a big...
I am very pleased with my OMNI 1325. Everything that matters is heavy duty, the wiring is very neat, and it has an overall appearance of something much more expensive. The lack of useful...
To summarize, if you aren't familiar with import/exporting, get quotes from independent shipping companies (like King Freight) to handle everything from FOB China port to wherever you want to assume...
Here is my account of ordering a 1325 from OMNI.

beer - No, I never got a diagram from OMNI. In the end, it was pretty easy to wire up. Everything is labeled nicely, so at least it is easy to chase wires to see where everything goes. The first...
I have Hiwin rails and bearings with a oil delivery system that has a manual lever pump.
Does anyone have any information on the gear reduction ratios on these machines? What about the leadscrew pitch or TPI?
I'm setting up my new 1325 and trying to learn Mach 3. The software from OMNI was already set up for metric units, and I want to convert everything to English. I need some help calculating steps...
As it turns out, all my emergency stop buttons were locked in. Omni helped me out with that, and it fired right up. Crisis averted.
I just got my three phase power hooked up and tried to fire up the CNC for the first time. I really don't know what to do or what to expect. I turned the big switch on the front and nothing. I...
Alibaba.com was a great tool that helped me learn about the different manufacturers. You can see how long each have been in business, what their response rate is, and filter with onsite check,...
I never could get Roctech to reply to emails.
JCUT seemed okay. I ended up with an OMNI. You can read abou it in this sub forum.
I'm still waiting on the power company to run my three phase. They were supposed to show up yesterday, but they didn't. I'm chomping at the bit. A few other notes since my last update:
- I was...
I got my machine the other day. I'm just not getting it uncrated, and it will probably be a month before I get my 3-phase power hooked up. Here are some of my first impressions:
- It was well...
For months, I looked at every possible option in my budget, and I decided that going with a Chinese machine is the only way I could get a real heavy duty 4x8 machine for less than $10K. For many of...
I'm interested in buying a 1325 from OMNI. I've communicated a lot with Katy there, and she has been friendly and helpful.
I'd like to know how the machine is performing.
I'd also like to know...
I've attempted to contact many over the last couple of months. About half never responded and the other half gave me quotes pretty quickly.
Omni repsonded quickly, had the best price, communcates...
I've been exploring the possibility of purchasing a Chinese gantry machine,and I am seeking out quotes now.
OMNI qutoed me two different prices on a 1325 - One for Yako stepper motors and drivers...
Hello all,
I am an engineer with a good job, but I am sick of sitting in a little box all day. I have been building furnture in my spare time for 20 years, and I have been wanting a CNC router...
