Wow! talk about reviving an old post... 2014. Well, let's see, since then I've purchased an 1100/3, two 1100M's and a Slant Pro..... So, I'm good for now. Maybe someone else is looking. Post it...

Wow! talk about reviving an old post... 2014. Well, let's see, since then I've purchased an 1100/3, two 1100M's and a Slant Pro..... So, I'm good for now. Maybe someone else is looking. Post it...
Glad it worked for you! For the longest time I wanted a "mathematical" way to do this vs the "pour a little - check - pour some more - check - crap, now I need more concentrate"....
QualityChem 251C in a Tormach 1100M - The formula is based on a HAAS video.

Yep, you are right about that! I have two 1100M machines. Considering doing the MX upgrade on one of them and then the other machine later down the road. Also, kind of waiting to see what they...
After looking at the installation PDF I'm confused if the Brix computer is now in the console or if it's still under the unit in the stand..... If that price includes the Brix the price starts to...
But they must have some sort of controller inside the new Operator Console that's sending things like the feed override knobs. I know this is why MoonLightPrototype's pendent has to have a patch to...
I would be real interested to see how Tormach is handling the code with their new pendant/console. Seems if we could dig into that piece we would have all the override sliders, axis controls etc.....
A shameless plug...... This will allow you to be consistent in your torque.

I really do not understand why Tormach will not add in the code to support Moonlight Prototype pendant and knobs...... I love mine. I have one on both 1100Ms as well as on the Slant Pro.
I...
+/- .005" with ease, +/- .0025" with some wear comp settings and watching parts, +/- .001" - can be done but with a ton of dialing in the machine and tooling.
(2) 1100M mills and (1) Slant Pro...
Welcome to the family.
As for the RPM to torque question. I have two of the 1100Ms and run them at 5950 RPM for anything that requires torque. 7500 RPM is only good for light passes and such....
Yep, it works. Just dialed it in. Will have to create a cheat sheet for this but a good feature.
Found it on page 3 of the PDF notes. It came out with 2.4.0

I wish it had a way to "adjust" it. ...
In the newest version of PP (2.4.2) when running the lathe, I now have some details over in the right window showing M30 A:xxxx B:xxxx. Appears that every time the program finishes it adds to the...
n1tr0 - Make sure to look at Automate CNC's TRX550 Pro. I've heard of a few folks who've had really good luck with them.
That's why I purchased it from Pete. He makes the patch whenever Tormach pushes out an update. All I do is apply the patch file and it auto does everything. Takes me less than 5 minutes to execute.
From my understanding, Tormach is using Linux CNC as it's foundation, which, is open source by design.....
Pete has that with his pendant. He sends out an update patch to run each time that PathPilot has an update. Or at least he has to check and make sure it's compatible.
Why not just order one of the Ninja Pendants? Much more control than the Tormach one. I've got three of them, one for the Slant Pro and two for the 1100Ms. Absolutely love them!

Mine is about 8" off the back wall. Many times I wish I could access the back through that door vs having to climb inside the machine to clean out chips and stuff from the backside of the lathe.

Freaking Friday! My brain was typing "spindle side - left" but for some reason my hands typed "tailstock"!!!!
I would leave enough room on the computer side (right) to get to the computer but you don't need much. However on the tailstock side (left) you need about 24" to swing the control cabinet out of the...
Do you have access so that it can be pallet jacked outside to the trailer? I have a tilt bed trailer (think roll back wrecker) that's 20' with winch.
I would be a backup purchaser to RussMachine if he backs out. I'm located in North Georgia.
Can you post up pics?
Some good food for thought. See, the real issue is that you've spoiled all of us with the ITTP and we just want the same convince on our lathes!
Later,

Hey Cliff,
Would it be possible to apply a mathematical "variable" say one for aluminum and one for 304 stainless steel as an tool offset adjustment? Would require some testing to set up the...
But in a way.... it's the same when you run the mill. The difference is that you adjust with things like stock to leave, wear offsets and such.
