Thanks. One issue I found is that when using the turning thread op that the canned cycle (G76) used the wrong direction now for thread depth. Maybe it's better to use the standard Slant Bed post...

I bought my machine with the full enclosure, PDB and ATC. The enclosure and PDB are essential for sure for me, the ATC is really just a luxury that only gets used when my code is proven. That said...

I resemble that remark. I never told my wife that I need to make money now with the machine but that I'm training for early retirement....she has been buying it so far:)

I heard that the Fusion360 CAM folks may be doing classes at Tormach or for Tormach, and it hints to some sort of collaboration as well.

Well, since I just bought my Series III last month....Series IV, 15k RPM spindle, half the price.

I'm a newbie and just received my machine last month (so TIFWIW) but having no alliance to any vendors CAD or CAM SW I found myself looking for online information on learning Solidworks and Sprutcam...

Thanks guys, I'll check when I get home tonight if my version of Mach has a way to set soft limits...I don't recall seeing it but I wasn't looking either.

Steve, I'll send you a PM. Thanks.

dumb question #1. I still often jog the wrong direction and sometimes hit the limit switch. What procedure do you guys use when that happens?
1. jog back inside and re-reference XYZ?
2. after...

I'm a complete newbie to CNC but I got my PCNC up and running about a week ago. I'm using Fusion360 for CAD and CAM so far, using their tutorials I'm starting to get the hang of things. This is the...

I just installed mine in the last few weeks. Everything checks out great so far except a few air leaks on the power draw bar fittings and some mystery around ATC alignment setup. Otherwise I have...

In my case it was a big pallet on the bottom, a layer of ply on top. The mill bolted through in four places. Big foam chunk under the spindle and resting on the bed. The Y/Z oriented to balance...

I just took all that crap to the dump Saturday...sorry about that, would have gladly gave them away. I really don't believe you could buy wood locally (if they call it that) of such poor quality,...

The freight arrived Saturday and I have been spending every waking minute since getting things setup. The ATC and enclosure took considerable time to get all sorted but everything seems to be...

Hi Steve, yes I am, thanks for spending a few hours with me. That visit was the turning point, I was impressed with the precision of the assemblies you were making. I will surely will have many...

Nearest post office is Lake Elsinore but I live in the Cleveland National Forest off of Ortega HWY....middle of nowhere. I dont have any ambitions to make money with this thing, just want to learn...

Sorry to bring this up from the dead. I ready to join the club. Placed my Tormach order this week and will hopefully be ruining metal by new years day:)

And thanks Brian, I took your advice on...

Here is one near me, the guy wants $16,500 and claims to have $25k in it. It doesnt add up to me. Tormach PCNC 1100

Cool thread! Inspiring.

Fire Stick: We're good. The Falls fire past right by us thanks to the DC10 that dropped orange goo on our community border. Got the Electrical in last week, need some drywall inspiration:).

I'm not an owner yet but I plan on buying a new 1100 this fall. I need to finish my garage remodel project first....adding a bunch of electrical tomorrow. This will be a very part-time hobby for...
