My new Syil X5 CNC mill is ready to ship from the factory. Might be here by New Year if I'm lucky. This is it, just completed QA testing

@2m0sql @g4dbn Hot damn! That really is a serious toy! Neil’s definitely taking his machining seriously 😳 (not that I didn’t think that already!)

@g7vkq @2m0sql @g4dbn Go big or go home, as they say.

@g7vkq @2m0sql @g4dbn Just looked up the price. Gulp!

@g0fcu @g7vkq @2m0sql By the time you take into account the tooling, vices, probes, induction shrinkfit thingy, transport, installation, training, compressor, fancy coolant, 3 phase inverter and building mods, the total cost is the wrong side of £40k. It should pay for itself over a few years though

@g4dbn @g0fcu @g7vkq If its ultimate job will be earn you money not a bad investment long term :)
