Really cool to see a an actual review and product from one of these.. I'm definitely considering getting one once my shop is built..

Glad it was helpful! I'll be doing a lot more of these as I get more hours under my belt.

get it. I was like you, now recently up and running and can't imagine not having it. Def need a CAD program to get the full use out of it and likely need a post processor other than Langmuirs to do long form G-Code canned cycles of any sort (main drawback). They'll likely update since it's just a software shortfall at the moment.

Awesome video would love to see more about this machine!

I'm so excited!!! I've been watching you for a long time, and I've been wanting to get an Mr 1 too! I have the crossfire pro already.

Awesome! Thank you!

I would really like to see a basic "how to" video on thread milling with the MR-1!

Looks dope. Would be interesting to see how much maintenance it requires.

It shipped with a spindle that was too tight and it caused it to overheat and destroy itself. The second spindle they sent me (for free) has been running flawlessly. I guess they have a bunch of those tight ones they ship first. They are fine for lite usage and will eventually break themselves in over time. But fore people who push them hard.... You'll need one that is not tight. They might have gotten all the tight ones out of the inventory by now.

Sick video, I’ve been thinking about building a CNC machine for a long time (also an automation/PLC engineer) but I saw the price of this machine and at the price point doesn’t look too bad. Not sure how much programming you do and I need to do more research myself, but do you think there is or may be a possibility of adding a 4th or 5th axis? Eventually I’d like to have the capability of 4th or 5th axis but unless you build your own machine I don’t think there are lots of options for that on the market.

we to take this to the next level you'll need to change out the Langmuir controller to something like an Acorn board from Centroid. Than you can do 4th and 5th axis. That would also allow you to change out the spindle to one with and ATC and do tool changes. The machines is really good as is but if you've got the ability mod the control cabinet than the sky is the limit.

Have you run any mild steel through it? If so how'd it do? Any chatter?

Not yet. I've got steel projects coming up that put it to the test.

any idea when you'll post some steel results? we have similar backgrounds and have been looking at much more expensive machines-- but something like this would probably be much more appropriate

Hopefully soon.

What are the necessary accessories required to buy with this machine. I hope if u spend some time to tell me.

There are a couple for sure. I want to make a full video this topic at some point but for starters if you get their computer and touch screen you'll want a USB expander so you're not always unplugging things to load programs. This is the one I recommend. amzn.to/3wPMCrO

Hello! Great machine. I would need something smaller, but with the same abilities. I'm really not into this world (yet), so could you tell me some options? I looking for a machine, with roughly 25x25x25 cm workspace, and ability to mill on steel. Maybe thread milling also. Thank you very much.

Well I was totally like that's possible than you said mill steel. Most of the small machines might struggle with steel... Size gives you mass and leverage that give you rigidity which allows you to mill hard materials.

I just bought an MR-1, Currently waiting for delivery. You mentioned a pendant. Did you buy it from Langmuire Systems? When I purchased the machine, I didn't see a pendant on their website.

Yes I did get it from Langmuir. They run tones of adds for it so I'm sure they still sell it.

when I made this video the Z-axis bearing was installed upside down from the factory causing extra vibration and chatter. now that I fixed that I'm running a lot faster than in this video with much less noise. :)
