Just purchased and have a few questions

Dan · 2016-09-12T08:47:14Z

While I did watch nearly every video I can find on the SC machines. I didn't discover this forum until after I purchased. My unit hasn't shipped yet and as I read through the assembly and maintenance posts it seems like many people have quite a bit of problems. This is a major purchase for me and I'm nervous. My biggest fear is that I get the machine and can't figure out how to put it together. Or I screw it up in the process. I've seen people posting that it took them a week or more to get it put together only to not have it work. So my questions. 1. How long did it take you to put it together? 2. If you could do it again would you shell out the cost of having them assemble the unit? 3. They say 3-6 hours for assembly is that realistic? If it is, it seems they are charging an awful lot to put it together. It seems they want people to put it together themselves as this likely removes some liability for them being responsible for it working. On the other hand putting it together will give me insight into how it works. But I'd kind of rather figure that out when there is a problem. 4. My primary intention for the machine is to mill cutouts into plastic electronics enclosures. The material is ABS about 3mm thick. Will the dremel 4000 get the job done for this? This forum seems like a great resource. Glad I stumbled upon it!

I was troulble free with my 420 build. I did have one problem to not tighten securely the motor coupling grub screws on x axis.
Later after about 2 years (purchasedaugust2014 ) I had to replace the X axis.

Here we go again... crappy design all over.

You have a long way to go and a lot of screws to tight and un tight.

Xinort - Let us know if you made it. I'm still struggling with my machine since April 16.
