Hi Shannon,
The machine is a XJ3030.Yes that would be great if you could have a look at it.
Phone No,9814830.
Thanks

Thanks Shannon,this young fella got the machine going after about 10 mins looking at it.
The problem was a loose wire in one of the control units.
Thanks Mate
Mike

Hows the cutting going, surely you must have something made by now... Just kidding. Do post some pics of what you make on it though.

I actually found that one of the cables was damaged during shipping. They had set the base of the router directly on top of the cable. I replaced the cable (very dodgy soldering job XYZ did on the cannon plugs) and it started working again.

I have bought a couple of machines from XYZ-tech, a XJ-3030 and a XJ-40, as a XJ-9060 and was very disappointed myself over the quality of workmanship of each piece. Even though Tony the manager is a nice chap, the machines they send out is absolute rubbish. Always something wrong, something missing, something forgot, something not working right etc. When you ask for help or the missing part, Tony runs and hides. One of the machines had the emergency shut off wired backwards, so when activated, the electricity and laser was still on, no CE certificate for XYZ. I got a wee shock so I'm not impressed one bit! It's unfortunate because I have met Tony in person and been to their new factory in Jinan, however he is only sales and has no control over production or quality, this is why he cannot fix problems which are commonplace. Maybe they will get their act together with the new engineer soon, being a very new company, I wouldn't recommend their equipment until that day comes, if ever.

Jesus! I wouldn't touch that company with a barge-pole. That is downright criminal!

As SyS-e says,he was kind enough to get the machine running.
But now the inverter has gone,so i have attached a 850w trimmer router to the machine.
It is not as quiet as the water cooled spindle, but at least the machine is running again.

Hi All,
Im glad i found this post. I was considering buying what looks like the same machine bed and spindle, take a look here.......

Looks the same to me? The control side of things looks very different to the picture you sent.

Im new to milling/CNC, below is my wish list for a machine under $3000. any advice or pointers?????????

. I operate a small electronics-manufacturing unit. I provide low quantity (25 to 100 unit) custom designed electronic instruments for medical, aerospace and industrial markets. The main uses for the milling machine are listed below.

1. Machining/drilling of small, 3mm thick ABS plastic parts.
2. Machining/drilling/cutting slots and rectangular windows/engraving of small, 3mm thick aluminium parts such as front panels.
3. Machining/drilling/profiling of small wooden mock up hand held enclosures for evaluation by the end user; the shape will have curves on it, look at a computer mouse as an example. Once their focus team is happy with the design then they pass the design to a plastic moulding company.

4. I would also like to use this for milling 1 off prototype in house PCB boards. 0805 components, 1.25mm spacing SO chips, min track size 0.02”. The last board I did had around 100 components on a 90x70mm PCB. I am fully aware that this machine is NOT in the league of the dedicated PCB routers out there but if it can produce some in house workable proto PCB's then it would pay for it’s self in a year or so.

Have you got the machine working now? how does it perform? whats the accuracy like? any good for SMT PCB work?

Thanks
Ray

They sell a range of CNC machines, I have a SHM1530 that arrived about two weeks ago.

Hi Shannon,
Do you use your machiune for PCB work????

I will be using the machine for commercial routering and that sort of stuff. It would do PCB's fine though. The smaller one in the link would be better.

Hello Toby !

I just got me first CNC from China and was searching the Internet for help when I found your quote.

I am having trouble connecting the machine to my PC. The USB driver was not included in the package (I don´t know why) and I found one that seemed to fit but I thought after installing it I would see the machine as a printer.

The software I got whit the machine look for printers when I look for connection for those.

Any idea ? How did it go for you ?

You are really unluck. not stupid
I am from China. Most of world want to buy something from china with lowest price. and the want to price to be lower and lower. I understand the situation you encountered.
China possesses an old saying: one cent, one quality.

We supply customers with two type of products, cheap and quality. If customers need cheap one. I will give them cheap. if they ask quality one, I give them quality.

There is no product with lowest price and highest quality.
