Langmuir MR-1 spindle servo - 8000 rpm

[jon]

HI Jazz,

Thanks for the detailed reply. It's gonna take me a good while to digest!

Thanks for the info on UCCNC, that's very interesting. I've been debating for ages what to use and I've never got on that well with Mach 3. I'll happily give UCCNC a whirl.

Regarding the price/claims of the Langmuir, I know what you mean having bought all the parts in the past. I too can't see how they can afford it. The other thing I have my doubts about is expecting people to pour the concrete into the base themselves. The metalwork alone will have little rigidity and the weight of the wet concrete will pull it into whatever shape it wants depending on how flat the floor is. Once it's dry that's it. I'm sure not everyone who tries it will get it right first time!

Saying that I love the concept and the videos of it cutting steel are jaw dropping. My old work bought a HAAS mill and they guy who operates it wouldn't dare take cuts like that.

Surely the customer doesn't have to fill the base with concrete them selfs.? No way can that not affect the frame dimensions and like you say it will distort it to the point of being unusable. The frame would need to be poured and left to dry then machined flat again which all goes into what is setting my spider senses off about this machine because again at this money no way can they be doing this.?
