Why We Chose SYIL CNC Machine Tools

[@TITANSofCNC]

I / we have 200,000 students currently enrolled on our Free Academy. We also have countless shop owners who learned the trade from us … and purchased equiptment and started their own shops. With rising prices and machine quality dropping … most will never have an opportunity to purchase a CNC Machine… Not everyone is built to be a banker, doctor or lawyer. Syil gives American students who may not be built for a regular college, an opportunity to chose to buy a machine instead of paying for college… then they can learn on our Academy for FREE and enter the workforce or buy more machines and manufacture parts in the USA. It also lets more people have an opportunity to start their own shops in the US and around the world… which allows more manufacturing to be done in America. Syil is a GREAT machine at a really low price. Manufacturing will grow larger in the USA… because of the opportunities that our students get and because many will be able to purchase machines etc Over the last decade you would be hard pressed to find anyone in the world that has done more for American manufacturing than Titans of CNC. Having the best technology in the world at the lowest price, allows American companies to stay competitive and stay in business. It allows American companies to hire machinists… instead of laying them off. Now, average machinists have an opportunity to grow and have their own machine in their garage. It’s up to them… where they take their dream to after that. Sky is the Limit.

[@durangotang1681]

I went to bed anticipating a follow up video. Really excited to see what you guys can do with em. Definitely a vacuum from American machine tool companies right now and someone was going to fill that void. In the future when life quits kicking my teeth in I’d be glad to finance one of these from y’all.

So an average machinist can afford a house in California with a garage and afford a new CNC? Oh ok.

Super excited to develop training content for these videos. A lot of people may not realize this, but by us partnering with Syil, we will have inside access to the manufacturer themselves and if we see any issues, we may can have some influence on getting them resolved. That would be another win for anyone that purchases these machines.

[@danielquatrone4654]

We have one where I teach. Neat machine. But they need to include a multi tap transformer. The transformer is 240-380. Needs taps for 220-380, 480-380, etc. And Table machined for jergens ball lock would be great. Modify the castings to take a pallet jack without having to lift machine off the floor. We bought with the tool probe, thought it came with spindle probe as well. Does not. Need to have that as an option.

I went to Syil’s website looking for info on the structure/build. Nothing about ballscrew size, linear rail size, type or class. Not one single picture of the electrical cabinet layout. No info about servo drives, single axis drives or is it multi axis drive unit? Overall no information on the serviceability of the machine. I bring these points up because I’ve been a maintenance man forever and a new shop owner could be in for a shock when it comes time to replace/repair something. Great job job trying to help out the startups.

[@skopilianos]

You can request everything from them. Also a lot of documentation included when you buy the machine. Since a lot of parts are branded, they include their documents in the machine too. Electrical cabinet layout is very very neat and they give you a wiring diagram too

[@cskovach]

I have an X7 and as far as I can tell, there are no proprietary parts that I’ve come across outside of the control. I added wireless probing, a 4th axis, a chip conveyor and filtermist myself. Anything you could conceive of a need of having to replace is available next day from automation direct or similar domestic industrial supplier with the exception of the spindle and mechanical components which are somewhat custom. Coupled with a fully unlocked controller that lets you get in and perform maintenance activities, adjust parameters or whatever else you need to do without having to pay for a special license to unlock access or get someone else involved at several hundred dollars an hour. There’s still work to be done in terms of delivering a 100% complete finished product but in no way is it like you’re pushed into a corner and left with no options. It’s not too good to be true.

I know it seems like they're being sellouts here, but I think it's just more about how exciting it is to be able to get such a good machine for so cheap. It's really going to push the industry to offer more value for customers. I've been on SYIL's facebook group for over a year now and people share their parts and their experience. That group is filled with people that are giving constant praise to these machines and the parts that come off of them look insanely good.

One always should seek different source for info. There are many reviews already about this brand on youtube, and there are Facebook groups with owners of the machines. Of course Titans are exited about the product, or else they would not bother to present it to their large audience out there. One should assume they got a good eye for CNC machines and quailty as they themselves got the most advance brands in use themselves. There is always the cost vs quailty vs output factor.

[@TheTinkeringMachinist]

@@Rimrock300 because country of origin is important to a US manufacturing base. Last I checked Syil is a Chinese company of about 20 people. Their collective capitol is around $5000. They do not make their own machines but contract them out. I would think long and hard before throwing money at them. The DEM 4000 would be a much better machine with an established control, from a well known manufacturer then any of these SYIL products. I would not want them as training machines either, their use of non standard controls mean that knowledge of their proprietary control will not transfer over to a haas or fanuc machine with ease.

[@Rimrock300]

I agree, a good general advice is go for well established brands, from 'low risk' countries, when your economics allow for it. At the same time many sucessful businesses within machining have been started based on lower cost brands. A few years back the norm would be 'Chinese manufatured CNC? Stay away, it's allways bad', but as of today, less so. There is a market for low cost entry machines, and a brand like SYIL is there to help fill it. I do not got personal experience with the machines, but seems to be quite a few of them around, among else in the US, the EU. From video reports owner of the newer versions seems to be fairly happy with what they got at the price. with these lower cost brands one usually do not got the 'luxuary' of picking up the phone and a serviceman with parts are stepping up at the door 30 minutes later) Anyway, each and one should think and check around well before investing into a CNC machine, no matter brand and cost level. @@TheTinkeringMachinist

[@TheTinkeringMachinist]

@@Rimrock300 So I guess the question comes down to what kind of risk you are willing to take. My concern is that startups will see the cheap price and promises and jump on something like this. When really a startup needs a reliable machine, much more then an established machine shop. When one of these SYiLs goes down due to some control integration issue that cannot be fixed on the phone, how long before they send someone out to fix the issue? This kind of thing would be a factory level support problem that Titans group will not be equipped to fix. It seems like these machines will compete with the likes of the DEM4000, haas mini mill/Toolroom mills, possibly even Hurco VM5i. at a starting price of $30k they are already bumping into established brand price ranges. I'm also going to guess the $30k is a starting price range for their smallest machine. Once you add a few options and installation, you could be in the 40k range. My take is SYIL is a hobby level machine like Tormach. They seem to be more stout then the tormach machines, but I would not want to start a business using either of those brands.

[@kenmarshall7054]

I'm guessing that these take at least a 240 Volt 3 PHASE outlet? (I could not find that information on Syil website). In my experience, there is never 3 phase electric available outside my house. Maybe if you live on a major road then that is possible, but I have never had it. So if that is the case, then what? A phase converter...which costs a bit of money also. Thanks for your input Titans of CNC.

[@cskovach]

I am running my X7 off of a phase converter. From there, the 3 phase 220 is supplied to the transformer that is supplied with the machine which steps it up to 380v. If you have the capacity to add a welding circuit in your garage then you have the capability to run one of these machines.

Are your SYLE machines available in 5 axis?

[@Jessie_Smith]

Absolutely. They have a U5 that is a 5 axis mill. You can get it with a Syntec or a Heidenhain control.

[@danielstrubel1016]

When are you going to bring some of them in with Siemens?

[@Rimrock300]

when someone has odred one with that system, I guess. There are quite a few different options, maybe they will have a small stock of the most popular versions, but guess most machines will be made according to customer wishes and there will be a few months deliverytime. 3 months maybe

[@danielstrubel1016]

[@adamdiaz8442]

Guys I’m sold I’m uk based I’ve touched base with them, I want to make a career in machining I’m a total novice but I absolutely love machining

[@Rimrock300]

I would likely looked up local classes, in addition to getting into the educational material at Titans website. Path forward depends on if you are to do it as a full time job, or more like a side hussle. There is quite a lot of knowledge to take in about different material, tools and more. also much much general info at youtube in general about machining. Being pretty accurate, into the details, is quite important when going into machining I would say. Good luck

[@TSMundora]

Anything for the lathe guys?

[@TITANSofCNC]

Yes

[@platin2148]

Sadly still too big for my door entry 😂 But i was looking at the x5 for some time. Is there ever a thinking of going Euro Pallet Size?

[@grizzlyrags62]

I have a new X7 with LNC6800 in UK - not had a chance to use it yet due to bereavement knocking me sideways. So I'm really looking forward to your content on these machines to inspire, and help me find my mojo again.

[@MrRctintin]

Good luck buddy, I’m in the U.K. as well, had my X7 for 3yrs. Are you on the Syil users group on FB?

[@wulff64]

same here....s

[@richie50]

Does the Syil X9 has the ability to track spindle orientation to perform broaching operations ?

[@berniepragle948]

Since Titan is such a big proponent of America and Made in America, I would assume these machines are made in the USA. Is that correct?

[@IchibanEngineering]

@TitanSofCNC as always taking big decisions to help the community. Some machines that are built here in Asia really offer a lot for not much money. Syil is one of them. Good job as always.

[@HogusGoldwing]

What do you think of mazaks?

[@Rimrock300]

They got other brands keeping them occupied, no need to think about something they do not got. Mazak are great too, a top end brand. All brands need service and parts, it's much about having a good dealer close up, no matter brand

[@neekovturbo]

I was on the fence about buying one and now after hearing the Pro's talk about it the way you guy did make the choice easier. Im buying one ASAP. May be calling you guys soon. Appreciate you sharing.

[@rtrottier14]

Do you have North American distribution or just USA?

[@earendall]

My only issue with Syil over Tormach, is the weight of the machine.

[@MrRctintin]

But the weight means it’s stiff and gives amazing surface finish

[@Rimrock300]

Syil and Tormach are in two different classes

[@kgranno]

Can you not offload because of the weight?

[@earendall]

​@@MrRctintin True, but if I'm dropping it in a garage, the concrete pad thickness is a concern.

[@earendall]

​@@Rimrock300 Agree.

[@RoboDriller]

Let's see the Syil being put to work please. And big diameter holes with low hp machines! Example I'm trying to drill 25mm hole through 1.25 " steel Tool storage too, My endmill collection is out of control!!

[@cskovach]

It’s not quite as big as what you’re after but we took a 16mm carbide endmill straight into steel at 224 SFM and 14 IPM, 1.5” deep with no chip breaking. No bogging, no bullshit despite the cut being within a few % of the theoretical max at that rpm. I have found their 100% spindle load ratings to be very accurate so far. Within a few %

[@bnekic]

Don’t you always preach about bringing back American manufacturing but now you sold out to a Chinese CNC manufacturer? Haas or Fadal can do anything these cheap Syils can.

[@MrRctintin]

What about the Haas cast frames manufactured in China? Oh, and the Controls…. Guess where they are made…..

[@Rimrock300]

2 US companies....is that really ALL we can choose from in this world...? The size of business of those 2 companies are peanuts compared to the potential of more Americans starting up manufacturing, with whatever brands of machines they like. Feel free to go for Haas and Fadal, nobody is stopping you or others.

[@wrighty338]

I get the angle on this comment but the only thing HAAS on a HAAS is the sheet metal and the control.

[@paulpelletier9422]

I think being able to manufacture in the U.S because you could afford a worthy machine is better than letting more work leave the country, plus as mentioned, there's hardly anything you can buy without global components

[@TITANSofCNC]

I / we have 200,000 students currently enrolled on our Free Academy. We also have countless shop owners who learned the trade from us … and purchased equiptment and started their own shops. With rising prices and machine quality dropping … most will never have an opportunity to purchase a CNC Machine… Not everyone is built to be a banker, doctor or lawyer. Syil gives American students who may not be built for a regular college, an opportunity to chose to buy a machine instead of paying for college… then they can learn on our Academy for FREE and enter the workforce or buy more machines and manufacture parts in the USA. It also lets more people have an opportunity to start their own shops in the US and around the world… which allows more manufacturing to be done in America. Syil is a GREAT machine at a really low price. Manufacturing will grow larger in the USA… because of the opportunities that our students get and because many will be able to purchase machines etc Over the last decade you would be hard pressed to find anyone in the world that has done more for American manufacturing than Titans of CNC. Having the best technology in the world at the lowest price, allows American companies to stay competitive and stay in business. It allows American companies to hire machinists… instead of laying them off. Now, average machinists have an opportunity to grow and have their own machine in their garage. It’s up to them… where they take their dream to after that. Sky is the Limit.

[@gunlover92]

Question should be why do you preach mfg in America but then distribute for a Chinese machine company.

[@douro20]

SYIL does make good machines, and they are actually the only independently owned machine tool company in China. I would get them with the Sinumerik control as parts availability will always be better than with the ADTECH one.
