This guy here seems to have a bit of experience with the skyfire, although I think he has now moved on to Syil

The reason I'm very interested in the skyfire is cos it will fit through my gate and down the side of my house. The syil won't

It’s not, I think they start at about £21k delivered now. I know they increased the price but not sure how much by. Plus all the tooling there’s about £25k worth of stuff there in a bundle ready to go with all (I think) the bad bits corrected. Besides at just a little over 6 months old it basically is a brand new machine.

Then if you’re not paying in cash keep in mind there’s an eye watering amount of interest in order to finance something off a small, unknown Chinese company who don’t even bother to answer their phone.

If you were selling for 15 including vat we would be exchanging contact details

Look into proper professional industrial machine moving companies, you could get a Syil X7 craned over your house :D

There is an automatic tool probe included with it.

Not sure about the spindle probe, there is the probe input so it could definitely be done one way or another. But truth be told it’s not necessary the tschorn is basically a manual spindle probe with a clock on it, you can do all the same things with it other than in process control, and it’s so accurate, fast and easy to use for setting X, Y and Z.

It’s the same as a Haimer, you may have heard of those?

I've got a Tschorn for picking up stock positions on my Syil X7, I'm not sure it's capable of the precision for feature locations on parts to the same repeatability as the axis positioning on my machine though.
