Moving a Syil X7 CNC Mill Into a Garage

[@paulboon2285]

Thank you for your videos and your contributions on the Syil FB group. Im learning lot from you guys. I’m looking to get an X7 for my garage. Subscribed!

Nice! I'm wondering if rotating the two mills 90 degrees so their backs are to the walls would provide better access to the machines without having to remove shelves.

[@shareNenjoy]

Thanks for your video. You've got both machines I've been considering. Could you share a quick comparison between the two? Impressions, top pluses/minuses for each machine would be great, in addition to this video.

Gz on getting it in there! Looks like very efficient way to use the space. Will you make a video of making the first chips and more about the SYIL?

[@testyourdesign233]

Congratulations 👏. Looks terrific.

Thank you!

How did you remove the machine from the steel pallet with the pallet jack? My Syil X7 is arriving next month. Thank you!

[@kierangcollins]

Thanks for the video. How tall is your garage door opening? Thinking of getting an x7.

[@tj.schwarz]

I believe about 84in or so. The floor to the top of the enclosure is 76in, there is a cable guide and status light on top that rises above that by about 3 inches, both of which could be removed I believe. I think any door north of 80in should be solid.

@@tj.schwarz Thank you.

[@paulboon2285]

Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks!

So i'm looking at getting an x7 and wondering would you suggest the x7 vs the the 1100mx? If you had to only keep one what would it be?

[@tj.schwarz]

X7 all day if you can afford the price difference. The 1100MX has been great, but Syil really knocked it out of the park.

@@tj.schwarz Now is the Siemens controller worth it? Nearing 60kish in price is where I start looking at Doosans and similar. I'm coming from a converted Bridgeport 2. So...

[@baxedm9806]

I'm considering getting the X7, my garage door height is 81 inches, Do you think that will fit? The Syil website only lists the packaging dimensions, not the machine dimensions.

[@baxedm9806]

Sorry, I see you already answered that question in the comments below. Thanks!

[@theinvestinghouse]

@@baxedm9806I just did this exact thing. 😂

[@deepnineforty5646]

I cant decide between the syil or tormach. I hear good and bad about both.

[@Ts1paa]

Could you please measure your door height? That would help me a whole lot

[@Ts1paa]

Okay, i'm stupid. This question was asked 3 times and answered at least once.
