How good is the 770, at doing very small moves on 3D parts?
Software to generate the tool paths not being any issue, rather how well the Mach controller moves the steppers in very small steps.

This post would suggest otherwise. Have you read it?

for what it is worth nlite is what I used as well.

No Tormach for me, yet. I was real close to pulling the trigger last year, but held off. Glad I waited for the newer version 770.

I am a die hard Autocad user. Tried others, but having spent the time learning Autocad, seems a waste to pick up anything else.

Question for the Autocad users, what are you using for CAM.

I opened your file in Autocad, everything is in paper space.
Nothing in the model.

Not sure which version the change was made, but you can "plot" to a pdf file from within Autocad and avoid an addon. Past Acad 2009

reason for asking is when I run drivertest, I got some spikes, when the LPT port is set to ECP. When set in bios to normal LPT, I get a flat line with a max variation of .4. Point 4, and under. The...

Simple question.

Tormach PC, or just a normal PC?

Thanks, I sort of decided the 1100 was the way to go. Lots more options for it over the 770.

Might I ask what kind of work?

Down the road I would like to machine stems, and brakes.

Just under 3", Plate needed is 2". Preliminary drawing.

No space issues, or power issues.

Leaning towards the 1100, but I like the higher spindle speed and feed rates of the 770. The mold parts are very large files, machine run times between the two...

I am going to buy a Tormach sometime before summer, not sure which yet.

I am not trying to start a discussion about relative merits of the software, rather I am curious as how many Tormach users are also using OneCnc.

I watched the ATC video, and thought it was interesting.

I don't know if a Power draw bar is in the works for the 770, but that is a feature I would like to see.

Hope Tormach is listening.
