My new machine - Guess the make!

[Pilsbury]

Certainly is tidy. But please we want more......photos, video, impressions. Good luck as you take your first steps into CNC

Ok then, more photos coming soon as I’m mid way cutting my first “proper piece” 😉

But some first impressions. Heavy. Very bloody heavy. Sure Dean may correct me, but my guess is 400kg. All parts are heavy duty, either thick steel box section for the frame or milled aluminium....guessing over 1/2” thick. Totally rigid which is key to accuracy and decent cuts. Ploughs through the wood I’ve presented it with and I bet I’m cutting conservatively. Can cut aluminium as shown by Dean’s test piece he gave me. I’ll save aluminium for a later date. Electrics wise, I know little about, except to say the electric enclosure is neat, tidy and well laid out. Certainly not a worm’s wedding!

I’ve had zero mishaps, no broken bits, no issues at all and I’ve done a fair bit of cutting now. But that must be down to my extensive CNC experience (5 hours) 😉

Perhaps tomorrow when I’ve finished my current piece, I’ll post some photos of my efforts so far. Promise to be gentle.... I’ll also some more machine photos
