Thanks for the video. I was looking at the sieg 3. I decided to take a look at the same one you have. You have made my mind up to get the same as yours but with the dro and coolant system already installed so I can use it out of the box.
That mill is on sale right now (2 Nov 2023) at Machinery House for less than $2600 incl GST - good value! It does seem though that the Y travel on that machine is less than both the X2.7 and the MMD46
The 47 and 48 have bigger tables. I've got a BF16 mill at the moment. Did a 3 axis dro + 5um, cheap lcd around $300. Love it. I was looking at the sales thismorning...
The LED light is flashing because you are using the wrong shutter speed on the camera. Set it to 1/50s and you will get nice and stable video. Don't leave everything on automatic, that's a bad idea, especially for the shutter speed. This can be set even in smart phones cameras. It is better to let the ISO and the aperture run on auto mode than the shutter speed.
The rf45 is a solid machine

How's the new mill going, 6 months in?👍👌🇦🇺
Is this the same as the Hafco HM-46B?
@@steve9484 almost identical, except the Hafco comes with the DRO installed. Table travel might be slightly different though? Not sure.
