I have purchase a 4axis CNC converted SIEG SUPER X3 from "SyiL"

[BIZILL]

group purchase probably would not even help matters...would it?

hey i was wondering i saw in one of the photo that there is a coolant kit that comes with it or is this an option

[ataxy]

here is something that might interest some about the cost of shiping

That was insightful. If that pricing is fairly accurate. I'll be spending that, plus gas to drive a very long way. Maybe picking it up myself may not be the cheapest route.

I think I will give another e-mail to Syil. I'd really like a quote to get the ball rolling.

Just wanted to say that the guys at Syil are very nice people, and got me a quote and purchase order extremely quickly even after my many questions. Money is going out by wire tomorrow, so they've got another happy customer, so far.

Had mine ordered the same as CrazyRonnie's, with 4th axis, gas strut, coolant option, chuck kit, and RPM modifier. As I had posted earlier I was concerned about the torque loss at a higher gearing, but the people at Syil say that the gearing is an easy change back. However, that still leaves the issue of the chip that modifies the speed display to account for the different gear ratio; after speaking with them, they said that they can install a switch to either turn the conversion on or off based on what gearing I want to run. Works for me.

hey i got there price list but what is the fob next to the price of each item

[Green0]

Yeah I don't know either.

I just asked about some more options (wondering if maybe they might have the live center to match the forth axis, and maybe a clamping kit and table vise)


Maybe that would just make this too easy for me though?

FOB = Free On Board
What does it Mean? A trade term requiring the seller to deliver goods on board a vessel designated by the buyer. The seller fulfills its obligations to deliver when the goods have passed over the ship's rail.

FOB
I've heard it call freight on board, free on board, freight on the barrelhead.
The short story is if I state FOB: My Dock, it means as soon as it leaves my loading dock, you own it. Like a taillight warranty on a used car lot.

[Green0]

That works as long as there is a date given for the arrival.

Without that, coordinating for shipping on from there could be very tough.

FOB is like ex works. It is a way of defining a price it does not necessarily mean you have to pick it up at the factory gate. All the seller is telling you is that any costs beyond this defined point will be extra. Normally a seller will organise the shipping at his end. You have to handle the import paper work and local transport, from the arrival port to your premises. The easiest and probably cheapest is to contact a local shipping/fowarding agent.
