Thanks for stopping by our table Tom! My Canadian self is ashamed by my lack of imperial conversion ;) One thing that I forgot to mention is that the LongMill design is going to be completely open-source, just like the Mill One. Once the Kickstarter is over and we finish the last few changes anyone will be able to find the files here and build a LongMill themselves! sienci.com/longmill/
I got a mill one. I'm pretty happy with it. I have to work out a vacuum system that gets the sawdust away, because it lands on the rails and the wheels clog up. But I've made some lovely boxes and designs!
Nice interview again. I had a chance to talk with them on Friday and was really impressed. We had a MaslowCNC get donated to our school last year and ever since then it's my next new hobby.
love the idea with the 45° L-Profiles, thats incredbly smart, ridgid and modular... generally that mill is constructed very well, looks it is capable to do gret things ...what a shame i'am to late to back this on kickstarter!
Tom! I heard Sienci Labs and See Me CNC were getting together to create a new CNC machine. It's going to be called the Sienci See Me CNC CNC Machine. It's going to be great!!
Andy Andy Andy.......... 762mm (25.4mm/inch) Cant wait for this........Move over Xcarve, A quality home machine is finally coming to market and it's Canadian made oooooooooooohhhhh shit This will be worth every penny and than some.
Can you land on the Moon in metric? Because when we went and left the Stars and Stripes we called out the altitude in freedom unit feet! Oh that's right none of you brats were even alive when that happened. Sucks to be you. Now go play with your dumb phone. That's all your generation will ever do.
@@1pcfred Are you the lead engineer of Saturn V rocket? Just because it happened in "your era" doesn't qualify you to use that language. Today the technology is advancing way faster than "your era" sir, just for your information. Oh and "you" would have never landed on the moon if it wasnt for the German scientists. Guess what system they were using.
The Sienci router looks interesting, how does it hold up compared to a RawCNC? Also, is there an option to use other spindles? The Makita router is kinda loud (I have one and ended up replacing it with something a lot more quiet).
hmmm the railsystem when build from steel L bracket should work well as a plasma cutter , if you turn the rails so the screwspindles are behind them so the sparks cant hit them as fast a cnc plasmasystem once build can probably make all the brackets to connect and line out the L profile and stuff from steel plate too
I want to build one of these, it looks really solid. It's got supported linear glides on the z axis and those extruded aluminum angles look like they would be very solid. are those aluminum gantry side plates? I like!
What I really miss with all those approachable machines like the Mill 1 or the ShapeOko is an enclosure. I would love to use something like this in our workshop at work, but there are certain regulations (in Germany) requiring you to have an enclosure with a switch and a dust collector. Without that I am not allowed to use it in a professional environment (as far as I understood it) and thus im forced to find someone who would build a custom enclosure so I get certification. Just for clarification - the problem is NOT that I wouldnt be able to build an enclosure myself - but I would have to get someone to certify it for me which is expensive.
@@MadeWithLayers To be fair I also grief presenters who have their notes on phones. Not because it doesn't make sense, just because people take offense (rightly or wrongly) to it so as a presenter it seems to make sense to just do something else. I now hate myself. :) The last person I griefed (albeit mildly) said "It's my notes" exactly like you ;) also Griefed is not a real word ;) DOH
I apologize if this has already been asked, but given the supported rails, what what prevent expanding this to mill a full or half sheet of plywood (4'x8' or 4'x4')?
"Shaft Whip". Long lead screws turn into a jump rope when you spin them quickly. Long axis need to use either a rack and pinion or a belt drive to avoid that whip.
I think I am sold...I need a cutter for model airplane parts - scale r/c projects. Would be nice to return the model airplane hobby market to the US. Piper is waiting to see my next project and need to get moving. Any chance your stock will fill back orders before March? That may still work, as I am still drawing and it is a prototype.
Nice critique. These guys know their stuff. I had a chance to meet and talk with Chris on Saturday. Super nice guy, and passionate and knowledgeable about what he's doing. I expect that this and their future machines will do well, especially at the price points they're targeting.
5:30 Right? I mean what kind of ridiculous situation would ever happen that prevents you from using a hardware store but still lets you get stuff over the internet... Never happen
Just found on kickstarter it's 3000 mm/min. That is probably okay-ish. I rarely need more. Except for when i am concerned about surface finish on really soft foamy plastics. But i don't really enjoy cutting this cheap plastic stuff anyway... And this machine seems to be more rigid than my machine, so i think it would be good tradeoff for bit of speed (replacing belts with screws)...
@@harviecz 118 IPM is OK. I don't rapid my machine past 60 IPM. It'll go 200 IPM but I can't stop it near where I want to at that speed jogging it. The real speed is in acceleration anyways. Fast machines get going fast.
I would think it would be written 30.5 CM X 30.5 CM. Or .305 Meter. For quick mental processing; one third of a meter stick which is just over 39 inches.
3d printed plastic parts do not yield the precision and strength as structural components needed for cutting aluminum or hardwoods with some good degree of speed and torque, 1/4" or 10mm thick parts as a reference. It does help to have a "wider distance" in the rails to compensate for this. I like the large size angle extrussion they are using on the gantry to obtain the rail "wider distance" but the machine still looks like it has quite a bit of flex. I have built machines with large size steel square rails using 3D Printed rails skate bearing trucks in a diamond pattern and still the inherent flex in the plastic 3D Printed parts is unavoidable. The only way to get solid rigidity is by using materials that have the least amount of flex modulus in all mechanical components and metal is typically such. The machine long side to side layout is something I was looking for back in 2000 when I first purchased a MAX42 router for lack of time in building my own machine. Unfortunately at that time no one had a commercial lng side to side one for purchase, although it made more sense and more logical to layout a 2 x 4ft (or 18"x 36") panel sideways then longways, easier access for working on the material to be cut but also for working on the machine, especially in a small shop, less and more comfortable footprint. I ended up making my own. It is great to see this layout, come out and becoming more standard, there are other machines with similar layout that have come out and I think people have caught on to them for the same reasons I just mentioned. Keep up the cool work!
You don't want to use a router as a CNC spindle. Get a nice water cooled ER 16 spindle. Listening to a router run for hours on end will put your teeth on edge. Plus routers are not built to take that kind of use. Not even really good ones. I knew a guy that ran $300 Porter Cable routers on his machine and he was constantly changing the bearings. He finally broke down and got a real spindle.
@@1pcfred yeah thats what i was thinking on a long machining process the router gonna suffer like you said its made for alternate uses thanks for you response Paul:)
@@Evilslayer73 I used a router for a bit when I started. Just the noise alone made me buy something quieter. I did not think it was going to be the issue it turned out to be. If I'm using a router myself it strikes me a lot different than a router on a machine. It's like you making noise as opposed to something else making the annoying noise. The latter drove me up the wall.
The aluminum angles are 3x3" on the X-axis and 2x2" on the Y-axes, 1/4" thick. The X-axis has two rails the other is hidden behind the first. And yes, the support parts are 3D printed, you can find the whole machine design here: sienci.com/dmx-longmill/open-source-and-modifications/
@@RonaldoMessina I am all too familiar with the limitations of the metric system. The benefits do me no good whatsoever either. I doubt you were even alive when I learned metric over 45 years ago. I've machined things to a precision of better than a thousandth of a millimeter using US Customary units. What have you done so fantastic with your measurement system?
Talking about metric system sizes but still saying 'ALOOMINOM'. Mein himmel! Haha. Come on, don't be hard on the guy. Nice aluminium extrusion build ;)
Blame Sir Humphry Davy. He used several variants of the name. Supposedly he used alumium first, then aluminum and later aluminium. Somewhere in there, aluminum got written into dictionaries like Webster's in North America and got stuck. Personally, I prefer versions with fewer syllables so, aluminum... kallium. :^)
Great Info, thank you. I kind of like the Sienci mill, but i think it is a beginner project to check out the technology befor sinking in lots of dollars into the machining hobby. Just think of the wear on the linear guides, matching hardened steel and soft aluminium. But still worth building it i think. Could a ballscrew set eleminate the backlash of the scienci mill one?
I work mostly on inches and feet due to my work, in a metric system country, and still can't make those metric conversions, I use a little table I have for those, still that was pretty funny
@05:41 Well... I get that you basically have to make an accompanying Software for your Hardware but ( _Kratos_ ) boi am I having a hard time seeing the purpose of using those watered-down versions instead of just using the real deal like Autodesk Fusion 360 and its built-in CAD / CAM feature... It's free unless you make like $100'000.- per year using it and even then it's like dirt cheap while providing CAM Operations like Adaptive Clearing which greatly improve tool life due to the ability to go deeper and thus use more of the cutting length of the flutes - Instead of just using the lowest 1mm of an End Mill and wearing that THAT alone down in like 1week you're using like 15mm of the entire Tool at once prolonging the lifespan to like 2 months - And that's just taking the Tool into consideration! Were not even talking about the entire rest of the machine who's wearing down with each move you make becoming less and less the fewer often you have to do the same step over and over again.
Because there are lots of folks that just want to do simpler stuff, and don't have the time or inclination to spend the weeks needed to learn F360. It is not the easiest SW to learn.
Jeez Thomas you are pretty stingy with the praise there. A 30"x30" machine that can even cut aluminum for $1,104.20! The shapeoko is $700 more and the Xcarve is over twice as much.
No handshakes = No getting sick. Worked beautifully this year! And yeah, "just wash your hands" or "use hand sanitizer" stops being an option when your average time between handshakes is like 2 minutes.
lol yeah, it worked this time so it must be true kind of thing. :) It will reduce the chance a bit, but not by much, I always seen him being very afraid of anything related to dirt.
I bought the long mill cnc a month ago and still waiting for this machine. I called customer service and it looks like they do not care. I will ask for my refund.
Pretty sure the guys testing copper materials were utilizing a mist coolant system. Concerning the use of a Router... A real Spindel all the way like what I did with my X-Carve: i.imgur.com/WSa3exY.jpg ( water cooled 7'000-24'000rpm capable Spindle controlled by a VFD ). So much quieter and capable due to the system controllable, wider RPM range with the only downside being the hassle during the first installation of the VFD which if you have like ZERO knowledge/interest in electronics is next to impossible due to the lack of reliable information.
This is awesome. But does anybody know a cheap to build for cutting 8'x4' plywood sheets / veneer? Just plans for one. Obviously requires belts and less precision but I'd like something easy and cheap to build instead of precision.
Price scales exponentially with size building CNC machines. By the time you get into machines that can work a 4x8 sheet you're looking at thousands of dollars. Larger machines need larger everything. Larger everything costs larger amounts.
@@1pcfred Yeah. But I'm hoping for something really rather simple using belts or rack and pinion to avoid those exponential costs. Speed is not that important and precision can be mediocre too. No expensive lead and long screws. Maybe even use normal aluminium profile with rollers as a linear bearing. And going slow with nema 17 motors.
@@dejayrezme8617 you can give it a shot. Your gantry is probably going to weigh a couple hundred pounds though. To span a four foot wide sheet it'll have to be at least five feet long. The thing about CNC is it has to work. Otherwise it doesn't. So if it works at all it's going to be precise. When you lose motion all bets are off. Unless you want to build a closed loop machine. And that's mo money.
most sheet goods are 4x8' in size. Why do cnc machines have odd ball 30x30" dimensions then?! wouldn't 48x32" make more sense? or 24x24". Having odd ball sizes just introduces tons of scrap waste.
what are you talking about? sheets goods are available in a lot of sizes, the standard sizes are a lot of bigger and will be always cut down to size ...so, a saw ist always a good investment ;-)
@@MadeWithLayers There are times where it's important to avoid even the appearance of things. This is one of those times. Hey, I'm still subscribed. I'm only saying it looks ugly.

a cnc plasmasystem once build can probably make all the brackets to connect and line out the L profile and stuff from steel plate too

So much quieter and capable due to the system controllable, wider RPM range with the only downside being the hassle during the first installation of the VFD which if you have like ZERO knowledge/interest in electronics is next to impossible due to the lack of reliable information.
This is awesome. But does anybody know a cheap to build for cutting 8'x4' plywood sheets / veneer? Just plans for one.
Obviously requires belts and less precision but I'd like something easy and cheap to build instead of precision.
Price scales exponentially with size building CNC machines. By the time you get into machines that can work a 4x8 sheet you're looking at thousands of dollars. Larger machines need larger everything. Larger everything costs larger amounts.
@@1pcfred Yeah. But I'm hoping for something really rather simple using belts or rack and pinion to avoid those exponential costs. Speed is not that important and precision can be mediocre too. No expensive lead and long screws.
Maybe even use normal aluminium profile with rollers as a linear bearing. And going slow with nema 17 motors.
@@dejayrezme8617 you can give it a shot. Your gantry is probably going to weigh a couple hundred pounds though. To span a four foot wide sheet it'll have to be at least five feet long. The thing about CNC is it has to work. Otherwise it doesn't. So if it works at all it's going to be precise. When you lose motion all bets are off. Unless you want to build a closed loop machine. And that's mo money.
most sheet goods are 4x8' in size. Why do cnc machines have odd ball 30x30" dimensions then?! wouldn't 48x32" make more sense? or 24x24". Having odd ball sizes just introduces tons of scrap waste.
what are you talking about? sheets goods are available in a lot of sizes, the standard sizes are a lot of bigger and will be always cut down to size ...so, a saw ist always a good investment ;-)
im american, i think in inches and feet but design in metric, unless its house design
WHAT A CROC
Thumb down for checking your phone while interviewing somebody.
That where I keep notes. You know, some people actually use these technology slabs for more than chatting on Facebook.
@@MadeWithLayers There are times where it's important to avoid even the appearance of things. This is one of those times. Hey, I'm still subscribed. I'm only saying it looks ugly.
1 year from now Autodesk camlab.......??
😆
I don't think the price is that great, tbh.
It is an interview,. Is diferent🤦
Is Tom a germaphobe??
Slicer 😂
the imperial thing again..........;}
Bad video. If you are not willing to say something nice then don't say nothing at all. The poor guy is trying his best to answer questions to his best knowledge and the guy is like "NO" how rude is that.
Also, if you are not willing to recommend this guys product why are you there wasting his time? I don't get it.
WAY WAY overpriced, by like 1000$. Compare this to Ooznest workbee
It is literally $1,104.20. So you think it is worth $104.20? The workbee is actually several hundred dollars more.
Is Tom a germaphobe?
Tom is just trying to not get sick after every show he attends. He also sometimes likes to talk in third person. ;-)
@@MadeWithLayers A reply from the legend! Made my weekend.
Well, we know he's not a germanophobe.
Sorry, but those imperial units suck
First!
You should stop getting on your phone while talking to people
