Review - Pinnacle XJ-95 from KDNTool...

[InspirationTool]

I picked this CNC mill up from Ken of KDNTool a couple of weeks ago. I'm *REALLY* happy with it. It's been a good sized learning curve (this is my first CNC machine) but I'm already making and shipping parts to customers.



My website has the full review including lots of pictures:

The short version... works great, better base machine than the X2 mini mill.

thats a nice little machine but from the price of it you can get a Syil super X3 for a bit more and it offer way more work envelope but compared to the X2 it offers a better envelope with its 6" of y travel

edit: emachine advertise the y travel as 3.9 and penntool advertise it as 4 so i dont know where knd got the extra 2 inch

actually this one seems pretty similar and it comes with base, 2" swivel base vise, quill dro, drill chuck, spring mill collar and a clamping kit for 1299$ can wich comes to 1159.99U$D

After using this machine heavily for the past few months, my review is much less rosy. It's still a good machine, but without ballscrews, limit switches, and an R8 spindle, it's almost useless for production work. I've left the original review up, and added new comments in red. See:
