It's really awesome to see someone showing the real numbers on their machine and not just the theoretical expectations. Really really considering buying you kit. Thanks for the videos!
Keep in mind that indicator is showing thousandths of an inch not hundredths. That is really good for any machine of this size. Dare any other manufacturer to show these values. They of course won't Great video Chris thanks.
The only real bottom line is that deflection will remain quite negligible ... unless you are running a very dull bit or are cutting much deeper than you should be.
Good call Michael. I might revisit this video in the future and make it more structured so that it's a bit easier to follow :) Thanks for the feedback - Chris
The only difference between the sizes is with the rails and lead screws, so it is pretty easy to switch the rails and leads screws out if you have everything else put together.
@@SienciLabs Thank you Chris. Chris what is your delivery time to Houston, TX? Also, what is the level of difficulty for the electronics set up for someone that has no electronics/ programming knowledge?
@@jtcmlt1 Currently the lead time for a LongMill is around 2-3 weeks, and it generally takes about a week in transit for shipping. The electronics set up involves plugging the connectors to the control board. I'd recommend checking out the electronics assembly for more info resources.sienci.com/view/lm-electronics/
If you want to be ready when it show up, you'll want to make sure you have somewhere to put it - some table space or a large flat surface. You'll also want some cutting tools on hand for whatever cutting you're planning on doing, as well as the materials that you plan on cutting. If you haven't decided on a software to use yet, I'd recommend Easel as a starting point, but you can see a variety of options here: resources.sienci.com/view/lm-choosing-software/ Here are some references for tables: resources.sienci.com/view/lm-community-table-builds/ and for cutting tools: resources.sienci.com/view/lm-cutting-tools/ (check the tab on recommendations) -Chris
I have never seen spindle deflection test for a spindle that shows the amount of force applied. thank you for providing this point of view.

look good for small machine like this and mybe if u using HGH20 on delrin maybe more rigid but now still good u still can cut actual size u need
You probably would do well to choose one system of measurement rather than inches and kilos. You don't want to Hubble it.

Yes but remember Concorde was built with both imperial on the British side and Metric on the French side with no issues. Everything fit perfectly :)
if you buy a 12x12 how hard is it later to upgrade that to a 30x30?
The only difference between the sizes is with the rails and lead screws, so it is pretty easy to switch the rails and leads screws out if you have everything else put together.
@@SienciLabs I'm assuming the 12x12 would be more ridged based of the shorter rails. Im thinking for most uses, the 30x30 is the way to go.
If you added a 2nd router mount would it improve the movement?
It might make a small improvement, but I feel like it would be slight.
What bit are you using?
I've got a 1/4" tool in the shank of the router when I'm measuring the deflection

@@SienciLabs Thank you Chris. What else will I need when my LongMill arrive? and, what else do I need to have it ready to produce?

should be stronger.
7:13 You're canadian! You dont know what inches are! Lol
