Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Sienci Labs AltMill and their new gControl touch-screen computer. I've had my AltMill for a few months now and am blown away by its power, accuracy and bang for the buck. Two suggestions that we all should get into the habit of doing: 1) always first perform an "Outline" prior to "Start job" milling, because as it double-checks the location and orientation of the piece on the work table. You'd be surprised at the number of times I've screwed up pieces before doing this simple thing. 2) clear the table of any tools before moving the mill. One can only imagine the damage that may happen should the spinning mill engage a wrench or tape measure (such as was the case in your video).

Looks like you are leaning towards an Altmill win. I’m a big Sienci fan and love my GControl and it does make things much simpler. I was critical of you when you first reviewed the Altmill, but see you using it more since I’ve followed you. And if Altmill does win out (shameless plug), then I’ll sign up to CNCwithme. -Peter

To automatically start gSender (or anything else) when Windows starts up, COPY the gSender Desktop shortcut icon by selecting it and pressing CTRL-C on the keyboard, or right-click the icon with the mouse and select "Copy" from the contextual menu that appears. Then paste the copy of the Desktop icon into the following folder: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup Note, the ProgramData folder is likely hidden by default. If you just open a Windows Explorer window (the one you use to browse for files), you can copy/paste this entire folder path into that window. Or, you can right-click on the Start Menu and select "Run" command and paste this network path to the Startup folder into the Run command window and press enter.

Was waiting until I was back in the shop to try it out and respond! It worked great! For anyone reading this - you'll need to make sure any hidden folders are shown to find some of the stuff! Huge thanks!

I'm glad you got the panel computer for it! I'm going down the Masso upgrade to my machines and it'll be nice to have a dedicated computer to it.

@HamiltonDilbeck Ай бұрын

It makes things so much easier. You're going to love the Masso!

I ordered the Altmill 2 weeks ago from your other video. I'm hoping to have it delivered in January according to the timeline.

I know the video was to showcase the AltMill, how does it compare to the Onefinity? Also, I don't get the wall hanger maybe I'm a little slow. Was the pockets and magnets to just hide the wall screw?

@HamiltonDilbeck Ай бұрын

Altmill Vs Onefinity video is coming out on Black Friday! And yes, its all just to hide the screws. Thanks for watching and commenting!

How do you even get your hands on an altmill, I ordered mine 7 months ago and still no word about it being shipped.

@seetheflow Ай бұрын

A probe makes things just thaaat much easier and more consistent. I definitely recommend it, even if its just a cheap one that.

@ApexWoodworks Ай бұрын

I agree fully, and it's a good habit to get into.

Until it messes up and takes your bit through he block instead of over the block. Watch that happen a few times and you'll be right back to paper.

@seetheflow 23 күн бұрын

@@iwannaapple7190 I've never had that happen thanks to the continuity test built into my probing cycle. What has caused your probing to fail?

@iwannaapple7190 22 күн бұрын

@@seetheflow I have that continuity test also right along with the magnet. Keep in mind not all metals conduct the same amount of continuity. You put the magnet on the base, touch the plate to the bit, get the green light.... Regardless, it will happen (at least to me it did) and I'm pretty sure that is why you still see people using the paper method. They just don't tell you why.

@@seetheflow That particular machine is a Longmill and I use gSender to run it so it also has a continuity test to perform. On more than one occasion, once the continuity test was good and I got the green light to probe the machine went crazy all of a sudden and would start to move much faster than normal. When it started to check the x&y it just took the bit and tried to go straight through the block instead of the normal movement of slowly touching the block. That machine has also ran very sporadic on a few other occasions during cutting times and has done things it was not supposed to do. I'm assuming its the poor quality usb wires. Now I just use it for laser. My new machine has none of those problems and is perfect. One day I might use the probe and put it on that machine as soon as I figure out how to code it but that is the reason I use shrink wrap. I just feel safer and It doesn't run my blood pressure up :)
