• X2 mill with fixed column and large table
• Cast iron for vibration free running
• 500W variable speed motor
• Coarse down feed for drilling operations
• Fine down feed control for accurate tool height setting
The SIEG X2P is a 230-volt drilling/milling machine with a speed range of 100 to 2,500 rpm. It is powered by a 350 watt brush motor. The power is transmitted via a 2-stage gearbox. A shift lever is used to choose between the high and low speed ranges. The speed can be continuously regulated within the two speed ranges. Thanks to the reduction in the gearbox, the X2P has sufficient torque even in the low speed range. There is no quill installed in the X2P. The feed in the Z direction is carried out by moving the milling head using a quick adjustment with a star handle or using the fine feed that can be activated. Milling and drilling work can be carried out with repeatable accuracy using the adjustable depth stop on the Z-pillar. In relation to its size, the X2P has large travel distances in the X and Y axes. All guides can be adjusted without play using pressure strips. The speed controller, the operating light and the holder for the fine fuse are located on the front of the control unit. The emergency stop button and the fault light are located on the left side of the control unit. Read more

After not liking some elements of the first lathe I got, the Emco Unimat 4 I went looking for another one, that did have those features or differently than this Emco, while still being quite small in size, but not capability.
An Emco Compact 5 was an option, cause it could also do threading, but most for sale were too expensive for their age/usage and not a lot were offered anyways. The 2 major other ones were Sherline and Taig (also known als Peatol or Grimberg) and even if Sherline also makes a lot of stuff in metric, you just don’t see them sold in EU much, Taig however, even if not metric, was. And then I found one.
Quick-clamping toolholder with double-dovetail triangular body for taking accessories.
supplied with 1 fixing bolt and one 5-mm (13/64″) internal-square key (without toolholder) Weight: .240 kg (.529 lb)
Specification
Rational shape permitting logical positioning of the tool and ensuring unimpeded visibility and optimum clearance when using the centre. Great ease of handling and quick tool changing without retracting the carriage. Constantly accurate positioning of the interchangeable accessories ensured by seat on three faces of the dovetail of the tool-body dovetail. Absolute tool stability achieved by locking with a cam piston and by restricting the overhang to a minimum. Provision for parallel turning with two different tool positions (90° and 30°) without moving the clamping block. The 30° position of the tool is particularly favourable for roughing work, the tool being supported along its axis. The tool holders for drilling and reaming automatically re-establish the parallel position. Adjustment of the cutting height of the tool with the aid of a self-locking screw on each tool holder, avoiding the trouble of using packing pieces. Grinding of the tools without any need to remove them from the tool holders. Possibility of pre-setting several replacement tools for machining large batches.

AIRSTEP Lite is the simplified version of AIRSTEP, it has removed all hardware control interfaces and only kept the Bluetooth to send MIDI and HID messages. This means that Lite can only connect to mobile phones, tablets, and computers to control software, but cannot control hardware devices. In addition to this, the other functions of Lite are the same as AIRSTEP. And, can be re-programmed (Lite Advanced firmware) to function as an Airstep Play: Foot control the playback, loop, speed and pitch of video & audio on iOS, Android, Mac and PC.
Line 6 kennen we ondertussen al jaren als een bedrijf dat steeds kwaliteit levert, en om de zoveel tijd een nieuw product lanceert dat de rest van de digitale wereld weer op achtervolgen zet. De nieuwe M13 Stompbox Modeler is niet echt een nieuw product, maar eerder een samenvatting van hun gekende prestaties. De immens populaire stompbox- reeks, bestaande uit de DM4, DL4, MM4 en FM4 (drive-, delay, modulation- en filtermodeling), wordt namelijk in deze enkele multi-fx gepropt. Benieuwd of men de kwaliteit en gebruiksvriendelijkheid van deze gekende units heeft kunnen behouden!
ALGEMEEN
Concept
Het concept achter de meeste Line 6-producten is ondertussen wel gekend: je neemt een aantal klassieke effecten of versterkers, en gaat deze zo dicht mogelijk benaderen via digitale technologie. Deze aanpak is ondertussen zo wijd verspreid, dat het bijna makkelijk wordt om te vergeten dat Line 6 een ware pionier is als het aankomt op deze digitale technologie. Voor de M13 biedt men dus een multi-fx pedaal die volledig werkt als een pedalboard met losse effecten. Je kan dus de effecten apart instellen en onafhankelijk van elkaar in- en uitschakelen. Daarnaast zijn er ook nog enkele extra functies, zoals de looper.
Vormgeving
Op dit vlak laat Line 6 zelden of nooit steken vallen, en ook ditmaal is de styling een schot in de roos. De combinatie van de zwarte behuizing en de gechromeerde knoppen en beschermranden geeft een zeer stoer uiterlijk. De verschillende units zijn duidelijk onderverdeeld, en aan de hand van een makkelijk te volgen kleurencodering (zie verder) kan je alles uit elkaar houden.
Handleiding
Ook hier is Line 6 een voorbeeld voor zowat alle ander merken. De handleiding is, zoals steeds, overzichtelijk en zeer informatief, maar weet tegelijk toch een humoristische ondertoon te houden. Je krijgt twee verschillende handleidingen: een voor de exacte werking van het toestel, en een tweede handleiding met alle info over de verschillende gemodeleerde effecten. Read more
The Radian Germanium Boost is an adaptation of the Rangemaster Treble Booster produced by Dallas Musical Ltd. of London beginning in 1965. (Dallas would later merge with Arbiter Electronics to form Dallas-Arbiter, best known for the Fuzz Face.)
The Rangemaster was originally designed to add treble content to somewhat dark British amplifiers such as the Vox AC30, but it took on a life of its own in the hands of Brian May, Tony Iommi, Rory Gallagher, and several other highly-regarded guitarists of that era.
The original Rangemaster was not actually a pedal, but rather a freestanding unit that was intended to sit on top of the amplifier. Bypass was done via a slide switch on the front of the unit, so it wasn’t practical to turn it on and off while playing, and it was used as an always-on tone enhancer.
The Radian is a pedal conversion of the Rangemaster with one big enhancement: a voltage inverter has been added which allows it to be powered with a standard center-negative adapter while maintaining the positive-ground operation of the original. The PCB also includes a biasing trim pot so you can dial in a perfect bias without having to swap out resistors.
The other enhancement is a “Range” toggle switch that lets you choose between a treble boost, mid boost, or full-range boost. The treble-boost effect in this circuit is achieved by first cutting low frequencies, then boosting the whole signal so that the lows are restored to normal and the treble frequencies are emphasized. This toggle switch lowers the low-frequency cutoff point so that less of the signal is cut and more is boosted.
One of its greatest features, is the Power pot, a VCB/VVR voltage control kit going from 256 Volts at maximum to 21 Volts at minimum (actual measurements), making overdriving the tubes by diming both Gain and Master pots a breeze, for tasty rock sounds in the living room.

The POT is pretty much the same as half of the King of Tone, with an external MODE switch standard. It is the same as the KOT with HIGHER GAIN option, so you can use the full range of the DRIVE knob and it has a little more drive at the top than a normal gain KOT. The DISTORTION mode is improved though, for a louder, stronger distortion sound. See http://www.kingoftone.com for more info.
Power Jack is standard on the POT –
The TREBLE trimpot is inside, just like the KOT.
There are also two new DIP switches inside! They are a bit subtle at some knob settings and modes:
DIP1 : LO-MID lift switch. The tone from your lower strings will be enhanced a little when DIP switch is ON.
DIP2: TURBO switch- with higher gain settings you’ll hear deeper compression, especially in DIST mode. You will hear a brighter, crunchier sound with this on at higher DRIVE settings when this DIP switch is ON.
The three modes, as on the KOT, are:
1) Normal Overdrive mode (OD mode): This is the standard King Of Tone sound, – a touch drive available than a tube screamer. Can get much louder than a tube screamer. The RED side of KOT has this setting from the factory.
2) CLEAN mode : This mode has less distortion, it can be used for clean boosts or clearer, louder sounds. It’s sort of a cross between a true clean boost and an overdrive. CLEAN MODE is even less compressed and louder than the OD mode. I love this mode with high drive settings too! The YELLOW side of KOT has this setting from the factory.
3) DISTORTION mode : more drive than the standard mode- a touch of hard distortion. The sound is more compressed, yet retains the pedal’s character. Same volume as OD mode.
At low DRIVE settings, or when playing softly, there is not much difference between the three modes, they all can get pretty clean and have the same level at low drive settings. The ability to clean up when playing softly is a very useful feature of this pedal. The Drive knob works like the KOT with HIGHER GAIN OPTION, so you can set it anywhere and get great tones.
The DRIVE knob taper is different than the KOT. It comes up faster and more linear, while KOT has a lot going on from 2:00 to max. So comparison to a KOT with HG option will not be the same at the same knob position unless it’s up all the way, where they are the same.
We are making these by hand in China by the same people who are making our Analog Delay. Though it’s made in China, we use the same parts as the King of Tone – best Japanese chip and capacitors, not cheap Chinese parts. No surface mount parts, NO ROBOTS, everything is vintage style and hand wired for easy maintenance and repairs unlike most Chinese pedals and most USA “boutique” machine-made pedals which are disposable if they have any problems like a pot, jack, or switch that wears out.
POWER SUPPLY: A Standard Boss PSA120 type 9V DC adapter will work fine. Center is negative. The pedal uses only about 6mA of current at 9V. You can get a fuzzier sound if you want, at lower voltages, for example the SAG mode on the pedalpower2. When your battery dies you will notice the pedal will not get nice and clean, the sound will be hairier. Use a good Alkaline battery or a power supply for best results. You can use higher voltage for more headroom, 12V is common, 18V is safe too. Clean boost may be improved the most with higher voltage.
CHIPS: You can also try other standard dual op-amp chips in the Prince of Tone. Just make sure you put it in the right way, with the pin#1 dot on the side with the chip socket cut-out. The TS-808’s JRC4558D chip sounds good in this pedal, especially with single coil guitars and smaller Fender type amps. You can try a high fidelity chip for the CLEAN mode which may work well.
Size
We made our own case for this pedal, it’s lower and a little shorter than our Beano Boost / Orange Squeezer / large SunFace box, and a little bigger than the Astrotone / Peppermint / small Sunface size.
Size is 2.5″ wide x 4.5″ long x 1.5″ tall, not including switch/knobs/jacks.
Buffer option
If you run through some long cables to your amp, or through some tone sucking pedals (volume pedals, etc) you might want to add the optional buffer inside the POT. If you run the POT into a pedal with a good buffer like our ARDX20, then it’s not needed at all. There is no room for a battery with the Buffer option. The buffer will work great at higher voltages like 12V or 18V also. See our BUFFER page for more info.
You will probably notice that most high-end commercial printers use either single or dual lead screws (or ball screws) but seldom 3.
Single screw Z pros
With just a single Z screw there is the least chance of mechanical quarrel. Mechanical quarrel is when two mechanical forces oppose each other and in kinematic systems it usually leads to increased friction or binding if the systems don’t have some compliancy built in.
With a single linear motion system there is only one linear path that the bed should move in. Normally two large diameter heavy duty *smooth rods or a single very wide linear rail are used to create the vertical linear motion system. If two smooth rods are used a single piece bed arm (or cradle) bridges both smooth rods and the screw lifts in the centre of this arm.
A single piece non moving bridge is located at the bottom and often another is place at the top, providing a very rigid mounting structure for the smooth rods capable of overriding any lateral forces a bent lead screw might impart to the bed arm. The lead screw will typically be loosely constrained at one end.
This setup provides a precision of movement and helps produce high quality prints.
There is almost no chance of lead/ball screw induced artifacts.
Nice open access to the bed without obstruction from multiple linear motion systems.
Very simple system.
*In some rare instances two widely spaced linear rails may be used but dual linear rails abut to prevent binding dual linar rails need to be aligned in multiple planes. This normally requires a finely machined surface for both rails to sit on (expensive) or some compliancy need needs to be built in (sub optimal).
Single screw Z cons
Can’t do automatic bed levelling. Bed levelling must be manual.
As the bed is always cantilevered and there is only one bed arm. This bed arm must be sturdy. This generally necessitates it being machined from metal (expensive).
The vertical linear motion system is normally bespoke and the bed arm and supporting structures (for twin smooth rods) are machined from billet for rigidity and accuracy….and hence consequently expensive.
Heavy duty linear bearings are required as they need to cope with the angular loads of the cantilevered bed. All else being equal these bearings also need to be longer for this reason than bearings used on dual or triple screw Z motion systems.
As the bed is only supported on one side it must be thick enough not to flex…which makes in expensive and heavy.
Z movement speed is usually limited to stop the bed ‘flapping’. If you are using Z hop when printing to stop the nozzle dragging across the just printed layer this will increase print times more than you might initially expect.
Bed depth is normally limited, and it is common that the beds will be much wider than they are deep.
As only one screw is doing the lifting it needs to be heavier duty than a two or three screw system and is hence often a ball screw. Ball screws are more expensive than leadscrews.
Summary
A single screw Z motion system with a cantilevered bed is the simplest solution and works great for small bed sizes.
However, to do a cantilevered bed properly you need expensive components and typically a custom machine bed arm, but the reward is a precision motion system without mechanical quarrel or screw induced artifacts in the prints.
Single Z screw cantilevered bed systems are currently the most popular of the designs used in small format commercial printers.
Example below is of a MarkForged printer which is has excellent kinematics and is capable of producing very high quality prints.often

9- Insert the previous disk Volume1
10- Here all should be fine, you should have Volume2 unchanged, but on your new HDD, with a whole available space
Three additional comments:
1. He replaced both disks (Basic Volumes 1 and 2) in his diskstation by running two times through the instructions by MathieuM68. Therefor he swapped the instructions on disks, volumes and trays accordingly. It works without problems and afterwards the system runs solid and with the same configuration like before, but with larger disk space of course 😉
2. In order to issue the command “mdadm” on the right RAID device (/dev/md?) I used
Putty:
cat /proc/mdstat
which lists all available RAID devices.
3. He could not issue the command “mdadm” directly, but it works with
