Why not just remove the shank and either replace it with a 3/4 shank or have your metric shank ground down to .750? It’s .787 now.

I have solved my vise problems. I found 2 6 inch QUAD 1 vises and grabbed them.
These vises are great because the fixed jaw is in the front of the vise and the back jaw moves which allows me to...
My Series II 1100 is not going up for sale till I absolutely have no further use for it. I’ve had it since July 2011 and it still runs perfectly, and I’m still running the Mach III operating system. ...
I’m running a PCNC 1100 Series II and still using Mach III. I had a question about my Mach III about 3 weeks after the first version of path pilot was released, and when I called Tormach for help, I...
Tormach customer service has gone straight to hell since the death of Greg Jackson.
Actually, Tormach customer service has turned out to be the best possible sales staff Haas could hope for.
I have 2 5 inch Tormach CNC vises that I’m not using any more. I have 20 sets of Monster Jaw soft jaws that I’m probably not going to use.
I would take $550.00 plus the ride for both vises and...
I have a PCNC 1100 Series II that I bought new in July 2011, and I have just run the heck out of it.
My company is Mid Day Machining because I seldom start before 11:AM and I’m done by 5:PM.
...
I’m still using Mach III. I’ve seen too many things Path Pilot won’t do.
I can do +/-.001 work all day long on my series II 1100.
I make a lot of small parts on my PCNC 1100 and when the job warrants it, I’ll make 2 fixtures then I can have one in the machine running and the other one out on the bench being reloaded.
I called Tormach about 3 weeks ago because I need to replace the flexible housing for the axis drives.
I spoke with someone in tech support and got a part number and that person told me he could...
I have I had my PCNC 1100 Series II since July 2011 and I’m still running Mach III and it’s running flawlessly.
For a while I thought about switching to Path Pilot but I’ve read about too many...
My brother had 4 Dyna Mite 2800’s and he just sold 3 of them. I was going to buy one to go along with my Tormach PCNC 1100 but I learned about 2 major problems with the Dyna Mite machines.
Problem...
As a former Haas owner, I can tell you, you would have had a “WAY” better machine had you gone with the Haas.
I had a Haas TM1 in my shop and if I had known then what I know now, I would have...
I had an enclosure on my Series II 1100. I had the TTS rack and the monitor rack from Santa Cruz Electronics.
I sold the enclosure last weekend because when I had the machine in my garage, it was...
My machine had that same splash shield when I bought it, then about 3 years later Tormach came out with their full enclosure for the PCNC 1100.
My wife saw that and nothing would do until I...
I just moved from Southern California to Vancouver Washington.
Are there any Tormach users in this area?
I’m looking for a shop to set up my shop close to my new home.
Any help in finding...
I think a Series I machine can be upgraded to a Series III fairly easily.
I’ve been running my Series II for almost 8 years and the only thing I have done in those 8 years is run it.
I don’t...
My 8 year old 1100 will cut a circle round within.0015. If it needs to be closer than that, I don’t want the job.
I make one part for my model boat hardware that needs to be .4995/.5000. That’s...
What material are you drilling? What are your feeds and speeds? What is your peck depth? Did you change the brand of drill you are using?
You’re talking “WAY” over “MY” head.
Welcome to the group. You’re gonna love your new (to you anyway) PCNC 1100. Mine will be 8 years old next month, and I have nothing but good things to say about it.
I am the former owner of a...
My fault. I seldom check my PM’s on here.
I would like to work a trade with you. I don’t expect anything for free.
I have the full enclosure, AND have the TTS rack and your monitor/computer...
I have a full enclosure for my PCNC 1100 Series II that I want to take off my machine and go back to the old splash guard and table chip guard. So here’s my deal.
If you’ll buy me the splash...
I use the ER16 T/C tapping head. I’ve developed a problem that allows me to tap holes as small as 2-56 on my 1100 and the T/C tapping head takes up a lot less room than the Procunier tapping head.
Tapping on the 1100 is an absolute piece of cake. I’ve done threads as small as 2-56 on my machine. Heck with that hand tapping crap.
Looks to me like you could use solar power.
My Tormach runs on single phase power and my lathe runs on 110 volts.
Well, I flew up to meet with the inspector yesterday and there’s just too much wrong with the house. It’s gonna take about $200K to make it livable, then I’d have a $600K house in a $400K...
If your Haimer is off by .01mm, I wouldn’t even be concerned. That’s only .00039 inches. That’s less than half a thousandth of an inch. The machines aren’t even that accurate. If you need better...
