When it comes to CNC machining, many still believe that bigger means better. But sometimes, precision, performance, and practicality come in compact packages — and that’s exactly what our SYIL X7 installation at Kestrel Technologies Ltd proves.

Recently delivered, commissioned, and fully trained within just a couple of days, Kestrel’s SYIL X7 is already turning heads for its performance and build quality.

A Compact Powerhouse That Punches Above Its Weight

The SYIL X7 combines power, precision, and smart engineering in a surprisingly small footprint. Here’s what makes it stand out:

  • Direct-Drive 20,000 rpm BT30 Spindle – Exceptional cutting power and surface finish across materials.

  • Compact 1000 mm-wide footprint – Ideal for shops where every inch of floor space matters.

  • 2180 kg Swiss SCHNEEBERGER Mineral Casting – Delivers class-leading thermal stability and vibration damping.

  • Personal service and support – Delivered, installed, and backed by SYIL’s expert UK engineering team.

This isn’t just another compact CNC; it’s a machine that delivers ridiculous value for money, offering high-end features in a smart, space-efficient design.

Performance Meets Practicality

With up to 5 years warranty and direct local support, the SYIL X7 ensures peace of mind for any small or medium-sized shop looking to upgrade.

Whether you’re machining precision prototypes or running consistent production batches, the X7 delivers the accuracy, repeatability, and speed you need — all without expanding your footprint or budget.
