I just checked and things like his 1/4 x 3/4 AluCut are listed as "Sold Out" when one tries to order. I definitely hope that they are able to restart production.

Agreed and I have purchased their excellent products in the past. Unfortunately, everything that I need is listed as "out of stock".
I need to replenish my stock of endmills. I like the Yg-1 Alu Power. Who has the best prices including shipping costs?
Do you plan to attach your air spindle to the actual Tormach spindle (the rotating part) or the spindle housing? If to the actual spindle, what do you see as the advantage of mounting things that...
I get "Error establishing a database connection" trying to access their website at https://www.buyustools.com/ and also https://icarbide.com/ Is that the correct URL?
A few years ago I managed to accidentally spin up my SuperFly to 10000rpm. Scary! I now use a nicely balanced face mill instead of a SuperFly.
More expensive but why not use the Tormach USBIO unit? That should work with no HAL or PP changes.
The first move just goes to a start position off the part. Notice that Z=0.6 above your stock. If you look slightly further down the Gcode you see:
(Pass 1)
F 4.0 (Z Feed, inches/minute)

The simple minded and failsafe approach that I mostly use is to simply repost without including the previously completed toolpaths. It typically takes only a few seconds and eliminates the need for...
It is probably not big enough to selectively heat! (It is about 1/2 x 1 3/4 inches)
I checked the SendCutSend website and the cost in stainless is good (<$1 each) based on my supplied .DXF. Unfortunately their quote system doesn't list spring steel plus they have a $19 shipping...
I need to cut some parts of spring steel -- probably 0.005 or 0.010 thick 1095 (RC ~50) -- on my 770-3. I have mist but not flood coolant. I plan tol rough shear the stock and drill for 4-40 screws...
Did you do a physical transplant or make a ShuttleXpress clone?
Of course additional functionality may require changes to PP. My point was that control of FEED/RPM/VELOCITY overrides does not require changes.
I probably should have written "provides support" rather than "provides drivers".
Agreed. Tormach includes drivers for all devices required to control FEED/RPM/VELOCITY overrides as part of their standard distro. No additional code required.
I'm curious why changes to PP are required. My functionally similar device works with any version of PP without changes. Just plug in the USB cable!
PathPilot v2.9.0 is now available for download from Tormach.com

Please be sure to read the release notes for a complete summary of all enhancements and bug fixes, the most important...
Assuming that you have a probe, doing what you need should be pretty simple. Read the section on G38.x commands in the user manual for an explanation of how to control probing. See...
What are the changes to add the encoder? Do you need a different bitfile for the 7i92? If so, where did you get it?
PP doesn't insofar as I know support modbus. However, LinuxCNC does. Since you'll be running a modified version of PP it might be worth considering further changes. See LinuxCNC Documentation Wiki:...
Of course. My point was that he probably needs more USB connections than one might initially think. BTW, which USB port expander have you found to be reliable?
Unless you plan to use WiFi, you;ll probably want something with two gigE connections since insofar as I know you can't share the 7i92 connection with anything else. You'll want ample USB ports for...
mountaindew, that sounds wonderful but must be a lot of work to create models of all holder/vices/fixtures/etc. Also, not every CAM software is so sophisticated. But more relevant to my earlier...
Unless it works in reverse I suspect that the promise of eternal life is a little late for me but not destroying vice jaws due to setup stupidity would be nice! Sadly Monty used the wrong Python for...
For your particular environment the comments are probably very useful; I was thinking of the comments in most recently produced Gcode. In those the only comments are likely those in the CAM program's...
As I previously mentioned, displaying the extents of X/Y/Z travel for each tool would be valuable.
Since most Gcode today is generated in a CAM package the comments are unlikely to be particularly...
Insofar as I know you can set/read the tool diameter and offsets via GCode but not the description. With appropriate changes to your post you can automatically compare tool diameters in the CAM with...
I tried loading your test file after modifying T1 to T41, etc (I don't have any tool numbers less than 20 defined). With PP 2.8.3 it works as expected and displays tools T41, T42 and T43. No ATC here.
Another choice that I've played with to get higher speed is mounting a water cooled 24K RPM spindle beside the usual spindle of my 770. Rather like the Tormach solution of a small parallel mounted...
