We designed the LongMill to be the best hobby CNC router in its class, offering rigidity, and reliability. With large extruded aluminum rails, fully supported Y-axes, 1/4″ steel gantries on all axes, high power NEMA 23 motors, and high precision MG-12 type linear guides on the Z-axis, the LongMill MK2.5 is the most powerful CNC router in its class at its price point.
Specifications If you’re looking to properly size a space to put your machine or are making a dedicated table, ensure that you leave enough room for the LongMills control box and any other peripherals that you might be using like a laptop, monitor, keyboard, etc. The control box is roughly 150mm x 280mm, has holes so that it can be easily screwed or mounted to any surface, and has a USB port on its left side which allows you to connect your computer to control the machine.
What materials can it cut? The LongMill is primarily designed for cutting wood but is capable of cutting foam, plastic, and soft metals such as aluminum and brass.
Where can I buy end mills and other tooling? End mills and bits are available on sale on our website as well as online such as Amazon and Ebay, or at your local hardware store such as Home Depot or Lee Valley.
What system requirements are there? You can run your machine off virtually any modern laptop made in the last 5 years running Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. We’ve tested our machine with Intel Celeron and AMD Phenom processors with less than 2GB of RAM with no issues (although it is a bit slow.) For any other downloadable CAD or CAM programs that don’t run on the cloud, please check with the software creator for minimum system requirements.
What spindles or routers can I use? While we recommend our AutoSpin T1 Rotuer and the popular Makita RT0701/RT0700 routers, you can also use other 65mm trim/palm style routers

I bought the 48×30 LongMill with the beginners kit. It came with everything needed to start milling. Assembly and setup was easy thanks to the detailed instructions provided by the Sienci team. Assembling the machine yourself has the added benefit of ensuring that you know the machine in detail, which will make future maintenance a breeze. I really like using this CNC router and would recommend it to anyone looking for “hobby” CNC router.

I’m pleased with the machine. I would have liked it better if it came with VCarve tailored to the 30×30 without having to pay for the pro. Tramming is difficult and could be fix with a screw system to push pull the router assemble left/right forward/back. I realize this is a hobby machine but I was able to perfectly tram my Bob’s cnc but this one is causing me grief.

After losing over half our community in a wildfire, including my house and garage. i was able to replace my MK1 with the MK2.5. have set it up in new garage. have not been able too operate it as all my files were lost.(in fire). I’m slowly beginning to redesign some of the things in vetric. Customer service has been very good (extraodinary). Had issue with the g-control panel computer after a few e-mails issue was resolved. I’ve been able to flatten my waste board. Hopping to get back at this in the new year.

Machine works great. Big learning curve with software chain and proper selection of materials and endmills. But nothing too difficult to overcome.
