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

[CrazyRonny]

Hi everybody,

I have just place my order for a 4axis CNC converted SIEG SUPER X3 from "SyiL" and I want to share this experience and process with you.

First I want to introduce myself.

I’m from Quebec Canada, my spoken language is French so I wish that you will excuse me if my English is not perfect but I will try to do my best.
I have a formation as an engineering technician; I work for Doppelmayr-Ctec ski-lift in St-Jerome and as the company name implied, our business is to produce Ski-lift. I’m in charge of the method department here. We do all the process method, process planning, the entire cnc program for 3 mills, 2 lathes and a plasma cutter. But I don’t program and design anymore four a couple of year now :frown: , I supervise and do production planning mostly now.

Like most of you I dream of having my personal cnc, I bought a lot of pieces to build my own router table, in fact I have almost everything two build two of them… but I don’t really have the time to complete it… I also have a 10x20 lathe and a round column knee mill that I will like to cnc also but again I don’t know when I will have the time to learn how do it and to build it.

Than I saw the add from SyiL World first SUPER X3 CNC conversion now available! And I fall in love with this mill and I found the price very reasonnable. I exchange a couple of email with them ( hummm maybe more than a couple ) and I finally take the decision to make my dream come trough and I order “my” CNC converted SIEG SUPER X3 with the fourth axis option.

My first impression of this company is really good. The communication by email with them is excellent. The people at SyiL are very kind and always helpful, they reply to all my email in a really short time ( in fact I don’t know if they take the time to sleep )…

The building process of my “New Toy” should take about 2 weeks before the shipping and they are kind enough to offer to send me some picture so I could follow the building process. I would post this picture here so you could se it to.

This is what my "baby" will look like

Hi Ronny:

I also purchased one today. Mine is also the 4 axis version with a very nice stepper controled rotary table, upgraded spindle speed, a keyless chuck and collet set. I am using my own freight forwarder to receive it. I was very impressed with the high level of the componants that are in this unit. In fact I am planning to import them using containers to save on the shippng costs and offer it with one of our industrial computers.

Please let me know your if you think there will be much intrest in this type of product.

Hi Lou,

I think people will have a big interest in this mill... I have a big interest... I bought one . But a lot of people don't want to deal with oversea transaction and shipping, if they can buy it locally the interest will be higher I think... but at a reasonnable price

Thanks to tell me that they have a spindle speed upgrade available... I just add this option to my mill to.
I also add the coolant system, at first I think it was include because I saw it in all the picture but it's my mistake and it is an option. But with the low cost of all the options they offer it is not worth not having it.



This is the picture of the nice rotary table with the 3 jaw chuck they use for the 4 axis




And this is the Collet chuck kit option.

Hi Ronny

Yes, that is the rotary table and chuck. However, I asked them to install a stepper on it to connect to the 4th axis. I also purchased the collet and chuck option kit. The high low speed spindle motor in the stock x3 mill has a max rpm of 1700 acording to Syil. It comes with a digital readout showing the rpm with a variable speed adjustment. I had them upgrade it to a max rpm of 3,500 with a gear change and a change to the LED to indicate the correct rpm.

I built a really neat enclosure with flood cooling and drainage system for my current machine. I hope I can modify it for the larger table and travel.

[CrazyRonny]

Hi Lou,

They will build the mill with all the four axis ready to go... in fact it's a plug and play type of mill that I will receive

You have a very neat enclosure, I will have to made one when the mill arrive or I may flood my shop


To everyone who as an interest in this mill... Please note that I do not work for SyiL, I'm not a salesman, only a customer that want to share is experience... and understand that I will not discuss or talk about price here, if you want a quote or price you can go at http://www.syil.cn or send an email to Xushuo or Bibaco at sales@syil.cn they are great people to deal with and I'm sure that they will answer all your question.

That is one awesome looking conversion. I went to the web page to learn more but it just times out with no connection. Is the Syil site still around?

[LouCetrangelo]

Hi Spuds:

I am looking forward to getting it. They said two weeks to build and then shipping time.

Try adding www in front of syil.cn The web site won't connect with out it. http://www.syil.cn

After that be patient becasue it is slow to come up. I just tried it and it does work.
