I thought the original DMC2 was cool, but this looks even better! Love that you include 3rd party part numbers for spare parts... kudos for that decision!
@@geekoid183 I run a small machine shop manufacturing my products, I already have industrial level CNC milling capabilities (2x Vertical Machining Centers) but some jobs in my process, like trimming thermoformed parts, just don't require a machine of that level. A small machine like the DMC2 could be dedicated to that process and keep the more expensive machines running on jobs that need their extra capability.
I love that you keep building and improve these machines. So many great ideas gets abandoned after a year or two when the hype wears off. Fantastic machine, good work!
I have the the first DMC2 and it's a great machine. I had issues tramming due to unmachined square tubing, but Omar was always very responsive and sent out replacement parts as necessary. I'm happy to see the upgrades. I would not hesitate to purchase this machine if you're in the market for a small very capable mill.
Man.... This is very tempting. Going to have to look into this further. Been a CNC machinist for almost 30 years and would love something like this. So many things I can't do on my manual lathe and mill.
Soldered wires into screw terminals is a failure prone, potentially fire causing, choice. Use a ferule instead of solder. That will actually last and is the gold standard. Everything looks killer but that.
It would be cool if you offered an ESS / Mach 4 option. I converted another CNC and dealt with all the BS that comes with Mach but now that I am done it works well. Hard to go back to Mach 3...
I know you said there will be a technical doc on assembling the machine but will you consider making a video tutorial on assembly? Ive seen Tormach has videos for assembly just thought that would be helpful as well.
Yes, they will pull all the steel chips in. So the easiest solution is to keep a toothbrush or keyboard brush on hand and swipe over the magnets to clean it off before using the probe. The magnets are flush to the top surface where they are mounted so that chips will slide off with a single swipe or two. We experimented with a cover but ultimately it just complicated things and still let a few chips in behind regardless.
Great updates and I'm glad to see you are keeping at this. Great! Love the 4th axis capabilities..... any chance we can see this on the DMC2????? Go Canada Go
The 4th axis will be compatible with the DMC2 (original) since it is the same control board. The DMC2 Mini breakout board just has an extra plug now to make it alot easier to add to the machine. Everything else (software/electronics side) is more or less the same in terms of functionality.
Yes it should be compatible, our motor drivers operate with 5v step/direction signals which the Masso board outputs. The other buttons are just opening/closing a circuit. And the spindle operates with a 10v analog speed signal. Masso can output this spindle signal according to their docs, or you can upgrade to PWM spindle signals since our VFD can accept a PWM speed signal.
The spindle is not reversible in the configuration we sell it as, but it does have the functionality if you wanted to set this up. Adding an ATC is possible but very space restricted due to the compact design of the DMC2 Mini frame.
Hi there Shariff... I have one of your machines ---- amazing really. Please do let me know how I can contact you --- I need some advice on one thing (and I lost my invoice 😮)
This looks a much more polished machine. You've obviously learned a lot and taken note of customers feedback. Good work

That's interesting,
What's your use case?

@@GoughCustom Oh I now see how this little machine could be a great asset, thanks !
Have a nice day !

Looks really good. The tramming /squaring adjustments are excellent.

Very impressive machine! If/when my little Sieg CNC ever packs it in I'll be ordering one of these very quickly.
Absolutely BRILLIANT work, Omar!!!! This is EXACTLY what I need. :)
Soldered wires into screw terminals is a failure prone, potentially fire causing, choice.

Everything looks killer but that.
And wire numbers for easy service is also important
I am definitely interested in this. Looks good.
Great video! Very professional and informative!
So cool I am stoked to see another option!
Awesome work coming from 🇨🇦

Just ordered. Expect videos 😊
Absolutely Amazing!!!
Good Work!!!
I know you said there will be a technical doc on assembling the machine but will you consider making a video tutorial on assembly? Ive seen Tormach has videos for assembly just thought that would be helpful as well.
can you do a build guide on the dmc 2 mini and more videos there isn't much information out there on the internet and I'm considering getting one.
The non-mini DMC2 actually looks like a pretty attractive option, have the ease of assembly changes been applied to the DMC2 as well?
Nice video, very well thought out!
Any plans for a smaller probe ball and thinner shank to get into tighter spaces?
I am very close to, "Shut up and take my money!"
Nice machine at first glance 👌
I see debri on the probe magnets at 7:53 Would this have an effect on probe accuracy?

I am very interested in this product.
Is it possible to ship the assembled product to Japan? And does it work on 100v or 200v?
I have a Masso Touch that I'd like to use with this. Sounds like that is possible.
Is the spindle reversible so we can add a Rapid Change ATC?

@@shariffdmc3406 what is the model of the spindle? I'd like to dig up the datasheet.
Impressive
Does it come with a tool post?
nice!
Dear Santa!!
What is the price?
pricing is here: shariffdmc.com/shop/
I’m still building the one I bought years ago 😂
This winter will be the winter I finally assemble it... I hope.
The DMC2 was an absolute nightmare to put together for me, Multiple pieces were not pre drilled correctly.
