The v-wheels are delrin so that the aluminum won't be worn out, rather the wheels are the ones that wear out. The machine uses off-center nuts to mount the wheels so that they can be kept tight over time
There are several things that bug me about this machine, mostly how the Leadscrews are sitting inside while they had the opportunity to put them outside and use the aluminium angle as a dust deflector, would have been especially good for cutting aluminium. And its hard to be sure with the camera bloom, but are those 3D printed parts on a 1,3k machine? Yeah, no, for that money you can get a STEPCRAFT-2/D.600. Back to the drawing board IMHO.
The full kit for a 30" x 30" cutting area is 1100USD where if you're comparing it to the STEPCRAFT D.600 kit it has a price of 1800USD and a work area of 23.6″ x 16.5". Certainly there will also be some differences between the machines for a $700 price difference. In regards to the lead screws, the design of the machine is reversible to make the rails face outwards if the user is concerned about dust. If you're running the machine with a dust shoe though, there are no problems at all with dust affecting the performance of the machine
Hmmm i wonder is this better then a workbee?? I think not, it does not look ridgid enough, the v wheels running on the profiles do not look sturdy enough, exposed lead screws and leadscrew whip as seen in this video..I think for the money you’re better of buying a Workbee..
@@TheUsernamechris im looking at many machines at the moment and kind of surprised that a machine thats been out this long, has no review videos. and there has been alot of talk in the facebook group about Z depth changing/going too deep but Z zero being correct..and supposedly all settings are correct in grbl.. any idea what the issue is? im ready to pull the trigger on something but do not want to regret anything later (on any machine) are there any import duties and taxes to the usa? thanks
@@sac40218 hey Chris, yeah I was chatting with that guy over on the group and it turned out the microstepping on the driver had been switched over - pretty easy fix 👍 To be honest we keep spending so much time working on the machines and assisting customers that we haven't had a chance to really reach out to anyone to make a review of the machine. If you'd like you can see our customers take in our FB group, online forum, or in our customers reviews on our product page. If you're in the states then you will have to pay brokerage fees once the machine arrives at your door but otherwise all other costs happen at checkout. You can even put your address in the cart and you'll see an estimation on the shipping cost before you have to purchase it. If you have any other questions let me know 🙂
@@StuffWithKirby why? they are big sturdy plastic mounts and if you wanted to, you could print 20 more supports and make it even more sturdy. or cut a piece of hardwood at a 45 degree angle on a table saw and have the entire piece of angle supported!
I should specify which ones you're referring to. The ones that hold the frame (y axis pieces) to the board are 3d printed. The ones that hold the moving gantry piece (x axis) are metal.
nice but every time you said their company name I cringed. I also cringed when I first learned of their company name. as alternative spellings are never a good business name. si-en-ci = CNC
@@spikey911usa no, I never said, that, but thanks for showing how petty of a troll you are. And let me know when you start selling CNC machines with no markup or profit margin I will be the first to buy
This is a crap review. Did you like it? Did you not like it? What did you like, what did you not? Did you have problems, did you NOT have problems when you expected to? Do a dang review.
"Sienci" is pronounced like "CNC" ...... get it?
wow.... now that you say it, it seems so obvious. I must have science on the brain!
God damn it. I can't believe I didn't notice that
I speak Spanish and certainly "sienci" is very close to how you would say "CNC" in English. I hadn't noticed either. Good that!
I realize it is quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
@Deshawn Thaddeus Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just google for it =)
I've had this one for about a year now. I love it. Best $1300 I ever spent.
I recommend using Easel CAM for beginners.
I make rustic American flags. Would this be good for me. My flages are 36×19 1/2
This is a really nice little machine. I've had mine for a couple of months now and I think it performs quite well.
I'm interested in purchasing this machine but I'm wondering if the programming software comes with it
How ridgid is it ? Can it cut aluminum ?
@@keithlane4343 Yes, it can cut aluminum.
Thank you
I didn’t know Burt Kreisner had tool channel too...DOO THE MACHINE BURT!!!😂😂🤣🤣
I'm ok with this I guess
Would be very interested in seeing the types of projects where you'd be cutting through to a larger area underneath :D
I'll have to film them!
Emm, this account looks familiar :o
@@jasonzheng9784 my account? or chrismakesstuff?
Caleb Kraft . lol, chirs's
@@jasonzheng9784 haha, yup. I've also had many people not realize I was the guy in the video before.
Nice CNC... good regards from Maldives
I have the Longmill MK2 CNC Router. I love it. I will share some videos on my channel if you are interested.
Where's the review in this review?
it isn't a review. nowhere does it say it is a review.
Im ordering mine asap Ive been looking trying to decide what I want for weeks!!!!! Thanks
the sienci web site comes up as a reported phising site. they may want to look into that
Huh. Mark may I ask where this came up for you?
@@TheUsernamechris It happens when you are running some VPN's Turn off the VPN and no problem.
excellent video
The only problem i see in construction is that steel v bearings running on softer aluminum. Although might work out.
The v-wheels are delrin so that the aluminum won't be worn out, rather the wheels are the ones that wear out. The machine uses off-center nuts to mount the wheels so that they can be kept tight over time
in the video I seen a lot of wobble 2.42 in the y axis it looks very week..
Very informative video!!!
Stupid question, but can this cut out designs as well?
Can you cut wood with it or just engrave with it? I make furniture. The only thing I can't make by hand are Chairs.
You can cut all species of wood, hard and soft 👍
you can totally cut wood with it, though you will have to go slower than the engraving you see.
There are several things that bug me about this machine, mostly how the Leadscrews are sitting inside while they had the opportunity to put them outside and use the aluminium angle as a dust deflector, would have been especially good for cutting aluminium.

If you look closely you might be able too turn the runners around and shim the difference at cost for a little work surface..
The full kit for a 30" x 30" cutting area is 1100USD where if you're comparing it to the STEPCRAFT D.600 kit it has a price of 1800USD and a work area of 23.6″ x 16.5". Certainly there will also be some differences between the machines for a $700 price difference.

Would this be good for PCBs

$2000.00 now
sir can it cut acrylic and aluminum? if so what thickness can be done
Yes it can cut both. Acrylic you can cut more than 1 inch in thickness and the same for aluminum
you just have to take shallow passes to do aluminum

Now that 360 won't support rapids for hobbyist what will you use?
Can you explain?
Price is not correct! Anymore?
Hi MisterMaker, pricing is available in CAD and USD. The all-in price in USD comes out to around $1300, or around $1800 in Canadian buckaroos. (y).
that is the price listed on their website right now. The 30x30 machine with every option and addon selected is $1,315.25
@@MAKE It was indeed Canadian vs US. ;)
Are those mounts for the two y axis beams 3d printed?
yes, the mounts to the spoilboard are 3d printed
Make: Thats disappointing.
