Hi all, I wonder if some of you knowledgeable Guy's & Gal's on here can advise me. I am looking for a milling machine for my home work shop. I have been looking at Warco and Chester offerings, but cannot seem to find the right combination of machine. Then following the advert on this forum I went to Arceurope's site and saw the Siege millers they have for sale. The Sieg SX3.5 DZP having caught my eye. It seems to have the capacity, DRO on all 3 axis and powered X axis. Being not to familiar with the Sieg brand and Arceurope can any one advise on them. Cheers Mike

Hi Mike,

A friend of mine has the Sieg SX3 and is very happy with it. I have ordered tools from ARC and I'm very satisfied with them.

I have a smaller Sieg Mill and lathe, both from ARC and have been very pleased with both the products and the service I have received (prompt, polite and professional even when it was my own stupid fault!!)

I have a Seig x3 milling machine and am totally satisfied with it. I bought this (And other items.) from Arc euro trade and found them a very good company to deal with.

Les.

I have had a 3.5DZP for one year and apart from total failure of the main PCB board which has now been replaced by a completely re designed board I am very happy with it. Excellent service from ARC euro.

Check with ARC but I think the next batch in will be SX3.5ZP without the DRO. It was a basic DRO and ARC are working with Machine DRO who will be able to offer tailored kits to fit the Sieg machines which will be in the form of a fully functioning DRO with features like PCD, Absolute/incremental, halving etc.

Me I've got 3 Sieg mills and they do what I ask of them.

Not quite sure where to put this. I have a Sieg SX2L mill. I´m in the process of adding DRO´s to the three axes. On the Z axis I have removed the vertical mm scale on the LHS of the mill to fit the DRO. The pointer for the scale is held in place by a nut and an allen / hex screw with a cylindrical end, the sort of end that would normally sit in a groove to stop a part rotating. Does this screw have any other function than holding this little silver pointer in place? I can´t see any other function from the exploded diagram of the head.

In retrospect perhaps I should have started by fitting air springs and getting rid of the sprung counterbalance arm first.

Dick.
