Syil CNC Machine Tooling Packages
A small CNC machine designed for real machining work with the power to cut serious materials. The SYIL X7 small CNC mill is your benefit in a compact space: CNC cutting at low unit costs at high processing quality and unprecedented speed.
Milling packages
Tool holding:
- Face Mill holders - Palbit face mill cutter
- Collet Chucks
- Fahrion - High Precision, really good gear, 2µm accuracy
- Evermore - Great everyday tools, really good value
- Drill chucks with Carbide & HSS drills
- Tapping Chucks - floating & rigid tapping
- Sidelock holder for u-drills
Endmills:
- Evolute A series 1-3 Flutes for aluminium
- Evolute AR - RMR for aluminium
- Evolute R series for roughing and RMR
- V series high performance roughing & finishing
- Evolute EVS - good basic cutter where high performance is top priority
Coolant:
- Hangsterfer's 5030, 5040 or s500-CF are all suitable for a wide range of materials and machining - think high quality all rounders.
- If you need more lubricity = s500-CF
- Where High Pressure required = 5040
Workholding:
- Herbert torque multiplier vices
- 5th Axis - Great for increasing productivity, minimising job change / set up time and maximising pallet load.
Accessories:
- CNC Cleaning Fan
- Spindle cleaner
- Pull stud wrench
Tormach CNC Machine Tooling Packages
If you are looking to purchase a Tormach, we would recommend running the 1100MX. For the extra money, you will have a machine that is much more compatible with global CNC machining standards and is more robust and will perform better without maxing it out.
- Fits almost anywhere. Cuts almost anything.
- Servo motors help you to close the loop, find home, and hit the gas
- Faster rapids for efficient cycle times
- A beefier BT30 spindle
Still a super cheap entry point to be able to start machining.
Packages will depend on the materials you will machine.
Typically a high quality “Core” package is a good way to go, where normal operations and materials will not phase the tools and you will also have the capability to push into harder alloys & exoctic materials.
- Hangsterfers 5040 is a good base for coolant
- Endmills - Evolute EVS, plus a couple of A series (aluminium) and V series (high performance Roughing & Finishing) to cover you for when you need performance in specific materials.
- Face Mills - Palbit standard range, unless you know you're going to be machining specific alloys or require HiFeed milling / max performance (minimal cycle times).
- Tapping Chucks - Rigid Tapping is the way to go, but if only limited volume should be fine with a floating tapping chuck
- Collet chucks - Fahrion is the favourite, but if you don't need high precision Evermore is good to go!
- Tschorn zero setters and probes are a good addition for measuring and height setting
- Workholding: standard 5th axis vises, self-centering are a nice addition and will give you nice fast set up times. They have an integrated workpiece stopper which is gold.
