what is ”atc ” i know very lil about cnc
i do plan on mach3 . seems like the easiest program to use for 3d . for gcode at least from what ive seen .
i have some drawing programs ive been looking at aswell . rhino , autocad , gsimple , sprutcam . not sure what i will end up doing
ive been checking around for a long time an i never heard of the hoss machine either ,, starting to think im horrable at finding stuff on line .
Yer welcome. 🙂
Please DO post some pics.
A pretty good machine for the price…shame no atc though…speeds things up dramatically.
Ever checked out Hoss Machine?
You planning to run Mach3?
going for the syil x6 , just waiting for a quote for total ,
thanks again for the suggestion .
$500 extra for a 40” table , but might be worth it .
i’ll have to post some stuff ones i get it going .
alraedy have some gcode ready 🙂
i also looked into the hm 145 , almost the same machine , lil cheaper an smaller . i was surprised shipping was only $200 ( if you unload)
I always kinda wanted one of these, which is on sale now with full CNC kit. But Ive always been short on space and this seemed like a good solution.
thanks , id not come accross them before . they seem pretty good , an have good prices .
i’ll post what ever i get .. when i do .
Have you checked out Syil? They’re in Calgary.

ATC….Automatic Tool Changing. Basically a holder for different tooling that’s set up such that the machine can change the tools all by itself.
Time for a tool change goes from minutes to seconds.
There’s a homebuilt one on Hoss’s site that works as good as the store bought ones. Well…nearly, but it’s got to be a lot less costly to build it than buy it.
Not a necessity…just REALLY nice to have. 🙂
Autocad is a damn good program once you learn it..working on that. Haven’t used Rhino, but hear it’s top notch.
Good place to spend some time….
