Very nice machine...... Followed your prior posting as you were designing the machine, lots of good info in that thread.
Robert
Not sure if this helps..... I have a PC1100 that developed a similar issue after a near by lighting strike several years back. It took out the interface control board.
Have you checked cables...
Hi,
Not sure I follow your response as Autoleveller does use the machine to probe the surface of the object. That file of data is then used to modify the original G-Code for the actually routing....
Hi,
Has anyone here tried running the Autoleveller (www.autoleveller.co.uk)software on a Tormach with Pathpilot???
I have used it with Mach3 on a Windows machine but not Linux. Not much of a...
Thanks for posting this information....
Here is my take on the different CNC ready models:
3019CR - ER Chuck and leadscrews
3029CR - 5C Chuck and leadscrews
4019CR - ER Chuck and ballscrews
4029CR - 5C Chuck and ballscrews
You...
Thanks, I'll check it out...
Hi,
Does anyone here have experience with the Taig 4029 CNC ready lathe (ball-screw, 5C chuck)? Have been thinking about purchasing one but have not found any actual review of the lathe.

Hugh,
Thanks for the project updates, still following along... You are doing a great job....

Mountaindew,
I also continue to use SprutCam, although I have not upgraded in a few years......
Robert
Really nice work.... Thanks for sharing.
Robert
Look forward to your build.....
Robert
I can't see the pic's in post #9, but can see the earlier ones.
Thanks for posting your lathe build..... I have been wanting a CNC lathe for several years so will be very interested in following along.
Robert
I would start your tram process by using shims under the base..... There is a document somewhere on the internet that explains the process. I'll dig through my files and see if I can locate a copy....
Dennis,
I recently disassembled and moved my Tormach 1100 so feel free to ask questions that you may have.......
Robert
Thanks, I'll take a look.
Hi Guys,
Is there a procedure for adjusting the Y-axis gib other than trial and error? I needed to disassemble the Tormach (1100) for a recent move and now need to reset the gib adjustment.
...
Well excuse me for trying to help...... Not a Tormach shrill, but the OP listed 'cheap' first and foremost, I rather doubt several thousand dollars would qualify as cheap, so suggest that it is your...
Have you looked at these:

Wow! I would love to have a machine like this.... Thanks for posting.
Robert
Thanks for the comments. I have found conflicting info so thought a post here might help clear the fog.....
Mike, I think tightening the front screw pushes the gib to the rear of the machine, It...
I have a question on the Y axis gib of a PCNC 1100.... To loosen or remove the gib, should the gib slide to the front or the rear of the machine?
Thanks,
Robert
Thanks guys..... I really appreciate your help!
Robert
Would anyone here know what the minimum door size one can jockey a PCNC 1100 through? I plan to remove the control cabinet and column but would like to keep the base and table assembled if possible....
I for one would be interested....... I have messed with Vituralbox and others a few years back but Linux is fairly new to me.
Thanks,
Robert
Not sure what Haas machine you are looking at but their new CM-1 to me looks like it would be ideal for your type of projects..... I wish I could afford one!
To me, spindle speed and coolant...
The issue with performing a new zero setting on tool change has been discussed here in several posts. Basically PP is different from MACH and requires use of the tool table for tool changes within a...
+1 on what Ray said on the HF 4x6....... I owned mine for about 10 years, best $125 I have spent on tools. A little tune up, a good blade and you are good to go.
