You’re welcome! Glad it was useful.

Happy to help Victor!!!

Good to hear!

You are going to love your new machine. I’m working on a video that will cover almost every screen on the Syntec controller. PP is very easy to use but it will still help you with the switch to the Syntec controller.

Ask 10 machinists the same question get 11 different answers.

I agree with setting your zero on the fixed jaw, and setting you zero on the bottom of the vice. Both never change

He bought a Chinese POS what do you expect .

@@MaDuceRules took the words out of my mouth man

It's good work practice to idiot-proof the process.

I priced a mini mill from my HFO and it was 20k more similarly equipped. But it was really after visiting a X7 and seeing it in person that sold me. The quality of the machine really sell it. I placed my order in the parking lot before we left. 😂 We did not finance it. My best advice is to Contact Syil and they will setup a visit for you to look at a machine local to you.

Thanks!

@@MaDuceRules You are welcome sir.

No it is not in the tool table. The current Syntec software doesn’t support setting the offset like PathPilot. They have a update coming that will allow you to set the Z offset from any tool in the tool table. Rumor has it anyway. So after the update it will be very similar. Hope this helps.

Maybe one day but not anytime soon. Sorry!

@@MaDuceRules No need to apologize. When it happens, it does and we would love to have one. Thank you.

It hasn’t been an issue really. I’ve never done a single op that required all 12 tools. However it’s one of those things if it had 100 tool capacity you would want 150. The chip to chip tool change is around 20 seconds. That’s the only real issue with it. However I don’t run production so thats not an issue for me either.

It comes with the correct t nuts. However you’re going to have to make new or modify probably what you currently have.

On op 2 a part that has a tolerance of maybe < .001 I can just face the part with no comping in a finish cut. With this machine I’m usually less then .0005.

The phase converter is from American Rotary. The step up transformer comes with the X7.

I use Fusion 360. Machine configs and posts for Syil machines are available from Autodesk for free.

Victor if I’m understanding you first question correctly it will come from Syil already set. If you move the TCC then you have to teach the controller where the TCC is. I’m working on a video that explains the steps. Question two if you are talking about the Hiemer style like I’m using there no good automatic way of doing it. The best way is to use a test indicator and measure from the spindle face to the tip of probe. Then you have to subtract the amount of movement in the probe. So in my case the distance from when the probe is not in contact with the work piece and then when it is compressed and both needles read zero in the Z. For my tool it’s .059”.

@@MaDuceRules thank you for the tips, I think I understand how to measure my haimer probe height. Can you explain about the value T3 length 2.7549 : 1. is it the distance from the tool tip to spindle face. 2. Z machine coordinate when tool tip touch TTC. 3. Or is it the difference between top surface workpiece to the top surface TTC? I’m learning from internet, and there are many methods for tools offset. many times I got confused, I glad you make tutorial using X7. Looking forward to your next videos.

Victor, the 2.7549 is the distance from the spindle face to the tool tip. 2. Yes its the same thing. 3. No it has nothing to do with the workpiece. Any CNC machine has to know where the part being cut is and what the tool offsets are. In this video I set the part location or WCS in G54. The tool lengths or offsets are stored in the tool table. T3 or tool #3 has a length from the spindle face or offset of 2.7549 inches. This is the beginning of the g code for the op that uses tool 3 from the video. My notes are added in " ". (2D ADAPTIVE7) T3 M06 "Change to tool #3" S5000 M03 "Turn Spindle on to 5000 RPM" G54 "Use WCS stored in G54" G00 X0.8323 Y-0.2615 "Rapid to this location" G43 H03 "G43 tool length offset enabled. H03 use tool length stored in tool table for tool #3 which in this case is the 2.7549 that we measured" M08 "turn on flood coolant" Then the cuts begin here. Hope this helps!!!

Thank you so much for you explanation, now it becomes clear for me how to set the tool offset and WCS. So the X7 TTC set the value from spindle face to the tool tip automatically instead the Z total travel value. Is this correct?

@@wazwuz205 yes

Yes it’s kind of a Funac clone. Close but not 100%

@@MaDuceRules how is your machine so for I meen the performance

@@sathishkumarr3176 It’s been great. No issues at all. Would buy another one in a second.

I was lucky the machine I wanted they had in stock in Huston. Took five days total.

@@MaDuceRules That's good to know. I suppose it's not a bad idea for me to give them a call to see what they have available before making my purchase. I heard back from support today that they are out of stock until March, but they do accept a non-refundable $1,500 deposit.

@@AllenIsbell if you are in the US definitely give Wesley a call!

@@MaDuceRules Perfect. That's who I've been in touch with.

3306lbs according to the sales guide.

It depends on where you look on the Syil website. If you do a compare its the standard with the optional 12K spindle plus the tool setter.

What are you referring too?

That’s not been my experience. I’ve had zero issues with the machine. Over two years now.

You heard correct. It's a Chinese POS with clever advertising through western influencers...
