Machine Overview
This is a SCENCI Labs LongMill ( See https://sienci.com/product/longmill/ ) with the short rails. The web page says it is 12"x12" but in fact it is more like 10"x13". The controller is an Arduino running GRBL.
Bed size: 250mm x 340mm (10"x 13")
Spindle: Makita Trim Router (Variable Speed) with a 1/4" collet. There is a collection of bits in the red toolbox under the CNC.
Automatic tool changer: No
File units: Default units are Metric.
Machine control software suite: GRBL on a SIENCI Milling Labs Controller. The controller is also connected to a RaspBerry PI which has Universal G-Code Sender (UGCS) as well as bCNC installed.
RaspPi Login: pi/Protospace
Hold down method: Screws, nails, clamps(must make these). The mounting board has threaded inserts on a 10cm x 10cm grid. You can supply your own holddown board with whatever system you wish. Simply drill holes in your board so that you can mount it to these threaded inserts.
Dust collection?: Yes, requires a shopVac. Probing: plate style. Plate is 10mm thick as well as X and Y 10mm offset.
Suitable stock materials: Wood, plastics, foams, other.
Unsuitable stock materials: Zero metal, metal alloy, or metal composites are to be cut on this machine
Machine history
The LongMill CNC was donated by Peter Careless. He built the stands as well as the shelf and power bars for the electronics.
The first training session has yet to be held at the date of writing
