First Look: The Longmill CNC Router

The Longmill is a CNC Router kit that fits in a relatively cheap price bracket for the size and capabilities of the machine.

"Sienci" is pronounced like "CNC" get it?

[tooljack]

I've had this one for about a year now. I love it. Best $1300 I ever spent.
I recommend using Easel CAM for beginners.

[jezgariepy]

This is a really nice little machine. I've had mine for a couple of months now and I think it performs quite well.

I didn’t know Burt Kreisner had tool channel too...DOO THE MACHINE BURT!!!😂😂🤣🤣

[chrismakesstuffCNC]

Would be very interested in seeing the types of projects where you'd be cutting through to a larger area underneath :D

[kuravani]

Nice CNC... good regards from Maldives

[ospreycove]

Stupid question, but can this cut out designs as well?

[tidesrollin]

Im ordering mine asap Ive been looking trying to decide what I want for Thanks

[markburton]

the sienci web site comes up as a reported phising site. they may want to look into that

[kentharris]

Can you cut wood with it or just engrave with it? I make furniture. The only thing I can't make by hand are Chairs.

[patakiattila]

The only problem i see in construction is that steel v bearings running on softer aluminum. Although might work out.

Where's the review in this review?

[DurandsDesigns]

I have the Longmill MK2 CNC Router. I love it. I will share some videos on my channel if you are interested.

[kilnprabu]

sir can it cut acrylic and aluminum? if so what thickness can be done

[cpace]

Now that 360 won't support rapids for hobbyist what will you use?

[fenders]

in the video I seen a lot of wobble 2.42 in the y axis it looks very week..

[StuffWithKirby]

Are those mounts for the two y axis beams 3d printed?

[justkiddin]

Hmmm i wonder is this better then a workbee?? I think not, it does not look ridgid enough, the v wheels running on the profiles do not look sturdy enough, exposed lead screws and leadscrew whip as seen in this video..I think for the money you’re better of buying a Workbee..

[FullMetalFox]

There are several things that bug me about this machine, mostly how the Leadscrews are sitting inside while they had the opportunity to put them outside and use the aluminium angle as a dust deflector, would have been especially good for cutting aluminium. And its hard to be sure with the camera bloom, but are those 3D printed parts on a 1, 3k machine? Yeah, no, for that money you can get a STEPCRAFT-2/D.600. Back to the drawing board IMHO.

nice but every time you said their company name I cringed. I also cringed when I first learned of their company name. as alternative spellings are never a good business name. si-en-ci = CNC
