Got my beast Wednesday. my god. If you're thinking about getting one. O My do it. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, library, for the handwritten note.

[jefflanphere]

Thanks Garrett can’t wait to get my ALTMILL😊

[dennisbracci]

Great video. thanks for sharing. Will be ordering mine soon.

[larryrobinson]

Thanks for showing this, still waiting on mine. Just to clear up a couple things the ball screws are 16mm (5/8") no where near 3/4" the spindle is 1.5 kw with ER 16 collet (max 3/8" 10mm tool) I know how easy it is to say the wrong things when making a video, I've done it plenty....LOL

I originally ordered a long mill. But when I seen the Altmill I had cancelled the long mill to order the Altmill I should be getting mine hopefully by the beginning of September. Can’t wait

[keithclark]

Thank you for this video as well. Can you cut 3-D with the Altmill? Thanks! Also, I noticed your Vacuum link is not working. I will try again later.

What acceleration is standard and is it adjustable in their control software?

[sifsif]

Nice video, I was searching for this machine and I was wandering what is the size of the ballscrews? Also what is the power (oz) of the motors?

[christophermalli]

can you add a 3hp spindle and is there a 4th axis by any chance

[jefflanphere]

Please share any start up programs you write for the ALTMILL. Thanks

I remember in another video you said you'd be selling the Phantom CNC. Curious if you still want to do that? Before getting AltMill I was strongly considering the Phantom 4x4 ATC, but after seeing the capabilities of this thing, preliminarily I'm okay with having gotten AltMill instead.
Sure, the power isn't anywhere near the Phantom's level, I get that, but for soemone who doesn't have a production shop, I imagine the power I'll be getting from the Sienci spindle will be plenty. Thoughts?

[caleb]

How does rigidity compare to a Onefinity elite?

[mattkrill]

Im getting the One infinity Elite.. Am I making a mistake? I looked into both CNC's and did my research but still want to know from other people.

[MiterTrimCarpentry]

We ordered ours on July 19/2024 and estimated arrival is January, 2025 which is great for Seinci Labs but bad for us having to wait 6 months for it.

[jefflanphere]

Please video how you’re squaring the machine.

[ppouncey]

just finished building mine having trouble doing computer setup

[ppouncey]

can you show us how you set up the machine in gcode and vetric
