Steve Hawk states that seeing the machine in action made them purchase the X7. His company conducted tireless hours of research to find the right machine to create the parts needed to support the firearms manufacturing industry. After doing their research and comparing SYIL to other top competitors, they couldn't help but call it in and order the machine immediately. "After getting quotes from Tormach, Haas, and SYIL we felt the X7 was the best value for the money," said Steve Hawk. They called the SYIL team in Houston and arranged a visit to another SYIL customer. "We were so impressed with the machine we ordered it before leaving the parking lot."
Hawk Fab and Machine machines parts of all sizes, shapes, and accuracy with the X7. They work with all metals, including titanium.
Steve states the most significant benefit of working with the machine is its speed and accuracy.
"Cutting accuracy is what we really care about... Holes, as it turns out, is one of the hardest operations for a CNC machine to cut accurately."
Upon arrival, his company immediately tested the machine. "When we first received our X7, we machined a test part and sent it out to be measured on a CMM. We were totally amazed at the accuracy and tolerances the machine could hold."
The X7 machine from SYIL is a high-quality CNC machine manufactured with only the best-in-class components. The machine is equipped with a fast tool changer, rapids, and fast spindle. This allows for excellent production output and surface finish. Per Steve Hawk, the only issue encountered was needing to replace the tool setter.
CNC machining is best used for tasks that require repetition, which is one of the biggest benefits of the X7. Once you set the design, you can produce as many copies as needed.
Several companies, like Hawk Fab and Machine, use CNC machines for firearm components. While 3D printing raises concerns due to untraceable firearm parts, CNC machines have long supported this work.
Machines like the X7 can be used to modify firearms, including grips. However, just because you can make firearm parts doesn't mean you should. Hawk Fab and Machine have the proper licenses to do so.
The X7 also excels outside the firearm sector. It's ideal for industries like construction, transportation, and dental work, allowing them to create custom components quickly and precisely.
Rapid prototyping is the fast creation of product prototypes for evaluation. Often, the prototypes are functional and ready for production.
If you're producing components for aerospace or the medical field, the X7 lets you test one part, refine it, and replicate it consistently to reduce production time.
In today’s fast-paced market, customers want products quickly. Rapid prototyping ensures faster development and happy clients.
Another major benefit of rapid prototyping with an X7 SYIL machine is product design accuracy. As long as you use the correct materials and specs, you're likely to get the part right the first time.
Precision CNC machining is essential across many industries — not just firearms, but also medical, construction, and more. The SYIL X7 provides the accuracy and flexibility to handle a variety of materials.
