Hey gang,

I am selling my beloved Tormach Series 1 PCNC mill, and all related accessories.

I had hoped to own this machine for the rest of my life - but I don't cut hard metals anymore, and I...

I do. About to post details in a new thread in this forum...

Ok, That is the bit of info I was missing. I had assumed that the roller was on a bolt projecting out from that plate - so the whole machine would only be as rigid as that bolt...

And you would...

If I had the space and the budget I would LOVE to keep the Tormach. It inspires a lot of confidence that "I can make that". But literally I haven't cut stainless or any other material that requires...

I'm talking about the v groove bearings that ride on the cold rolled steel. They are only supported on one side as opposed to the through-bolt of the standard model. My instinct tells me that such...

What about the rollers on the pro? Just 4 wheels on a shaft that is only supported on one side seems a lot less robust than the skate wheel sandwich of the standard.

Thanks for the insight. I have seen videos of both the std and pro routing aluminum - but then I saw the bench top pro and comments that it is particularly good for aluminum. - which made me wonder...

Anyone have insight into the rigidity of the pro vs the standard?

That is the tradeoff I guess. I'm an inventor and build a pretty wide variety of things. I will probably cut things up to 4' out of Dibond or foam. Aluminum parts are much more rare, and smaller -...

Hey guys,

I have been a loving owner of a Tormach 1100 mill for the past few years, but have recently come to realize that a router table would be a much better fit for what I am doing with it...

This move in question happens while the machine is still on the M6 line. Now that I have the G43 H3 on a different line, it's happening before the tool offset is even called. (I'm assuming here...

update: Now I'm more sure it is the M6 macro. I tried zeroing out the length of the tool in question in the tool table, and it runs just fine (albeit without the tool offset)

I'm pretty sure...

Thanks for the responses guys.

I edited my post to put the g43 after the M6 on a different line, but I am still having the same problem with the wierd 1 ipm vertical move.

Since I am getting...

Hey guys,

Firstly, thanks to everyone for the help. I learned a lot about this reading some of the other posts about Z-height compensation, but I have one remaining problem that I cannot seem to...

Think that it is worth turning on mach 3's backlash comp for that amount of backlash? My hunch is no, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone does.

Thanks for that info randy, I am really relieved to see that kind of resolution coming from the tormach.

I have already broken a number of engraving bits MUCH larger than .0009 while learning on...

Hey All,

I just bought a used series 1 1100 for my company. We will be primarily using it for making steel dies for forming caps as well as for making brass embossing dies to form winery logos...

Thank you. In the last two months I have already learned TONS on this forum with that there search button... And zero posts. :)

Thanks for such a great resource!

To me!

Stoked.
