We're back from the 2020 Toronto Woodworking Show!

We're back from the 2020 Toronto Woodworking Show!
The 2020 Toronto Woodworking Show was such a blast. Not only was it a great show, but it marks a culmination of one year of hard work since the last show. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come, and it makes us incredibly happy to talk to so many of our satisfied LongMill users. I appreciate that our customers have gone above and beyond to show their support, and we hope to continue to provide the best machines, support, and opportunities for our users.

For the full recap, read our blog here:
https://sienci.com/2020/02/10/2020-toronto-woodworking-show-a-recap/

Some special thank you's to:

Tom Woodhouse, for bringing us a giant "s" shaped balloon and a wooden bottle cap to show off at the show.

Jan Foss-Pederson. for sticking around our booth to talk people into buying LongMills. We never paid him or asked him to do this for us, but I guess it speaks to how much he loves his LongMill.

Deb Rosewell from @rosewellww for dropping off one of their beautiful salt and pepper sets with their LongMill carved trays.

And Jeff Richardson for providing us with some amazing pieces that he made with his machine to show off at the show as well.

It's always super cool to see unique ways a LongMill can be used! How about some custom foam packaging?

Video from @propsandpop "Here’s one of the reasons that I got a CNC. Product foam inserts! My company makes designer resin toys for independent artists and until now I’ve only been bubble wrapping individual pieces...works but ugly and don’t look professional . With a CNC, I can now offer foam & simple box packaging option for my clients!!! Special thanks to Sienci Labs!!"

The LongMill has gone out to the first batch of local makers! Awesome to see cool stuff being made by customers already!
From our Kickstarter backer Jeff: "I have spent the last week testing out the LongMill. I must say that I am very impressed with the machine. I didn’t do anything really complex but I wanted to check out the accuracy and repeatability of the machine so I mad some shop tools and a couple of signs.
The 90 degree clamping brackets turned out a perfect 90 and the 17.5 inch circle was perfect as well.
I was also able to fix the issue with my Windows 7 laptop. I had mentioned in an earlier post that it would not communicate with UGS as no drivers were installed. I went to the Arduino website and downloaded the Arduino IDE app to install the Windows drivers. Problem solved.
The accuracy of the machine is great so I am going to make some wood stop/gauge blocks to allow me to quickly reset home/zero with a reasonable degree o accuracy and also ensure that the x axis rail is square to the y axis. I have not had any issues in this regard I am just trying to be proactive because something will inevitably go wrong and I will have to reset home mid job. I will just have to pull the blocks out of the drawer, put them in place and move the x or y axis until they touch. This will also square up any misalignment on the x axis.
The LongMill is proving to be a great machine and well worth the investment." #longmill #siencilabs #desktopCNC #kickstarter #woodworking #woodsigns

We're back from the 2020 Toronto Woodworking Show!
The 2020 Toronto Woodworking Show was such a blast. Not only was it a great show, but it marks a culmination of one year of hard work since the last show. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come, and it makes us incredibly happy to talk to so many of our satisfied LongMill users. I appreciate that our customers have gone above and beyond to show their support, and we hope to continue to provide the best machines, support, and opportunities for our users.

For the full recap, read our blog here:
https://sienci.com/2020/02/10/2020-toronto-woodworking-show-a-recap/

Some special thank you's to:

Tom Woodhouse, for bringing us a giant "s" shaped balloon and a wooden bottle cap to show off at the show.

Jan Foss-Pederson. for sticking around our booth to talk people into buying LongMills. We never paid him or asked him to do this for us, but I guess it speaks to how much he loves his LongMill.

Deb Rosewell from @rosewellww for dropping off one of their beautiful salt and pepper sets with their LongMill carved trays.

And Jeff Richardson for providing us with some amazing pieces that he made with his machine to show off at the show as well.

It's always super cool to see unique ways a LongMill can be used! How about some custom foam packaging?

Video from @propsandpop "Here’s one of the reasons that I got a CNC. Product foam inserts! My company makes designer resin toys for independent artists and until now I’ve only been bubble wrapping individual pieces...works but ugly and don’t look professional . With a CNC, I can now offer foam & simple box packaging option for my clients!!! Special thanks to Sienci Labs!!"

The LongMill has gone out to the first batch of local makers! Awesome to see cool stuff being made by customers already!
From our Kickstarter backer Jeff: "I have spent the last week testing out the LongMill. I must say that I am very impressed with the machine. I didn’t do anything really complex but I wanted to check out the accuracy and repeatability of the machine so I mad some shop tools and a couple of signs.
The 90 degree clamping brackets turned out a perfect 90 and the 17.5 inch circle was perfect as well.
I was also able to fix the issue with my Windows 7 laptop. I had mentioned in an earlier post that it would not communicate with UGS as no drivers were installed. I went to the Arduino website and downloaded the Arduino IDE app to install the Windows drivers. Problem solved.
The accuracy of the machine is great so I am going to make some wood stop/gauge blocks to allow me to quickly reset home/zero with a reasonable degree o accuracy and also ensure that the x axis rail is square to the y axis. I have not had any issues in this regard I am just trying to be proactive because something will inevitably go wrong and I will have to reset home mid job. I will just have to pull the blocks out of the drawer, put them in place and move the x or y axis until they touch. This will also square up any misalignment on the x axis.
The LongMill is proving to be a great machine and well worth the investment." #longmill #siencilabs #desktopCNC #kickstarter #woodworking #woodsigns
