Hi Guys
im a tool maker in New Zealand, and am looking at starting my own small machining shop, and am after a small good quality CNC Mill to complete my workshop and was thinking about the Tormach PCNC 1100 with ATC and 4th axis set ups. i will be doing mostly one offs and small production runs in about 60% aluminium work and the rest in steel and tool steels. i will also be working with solidworks and spurtcam.
is there anyone out there in NZ with this mill that i can talk to/ visit?
Is this machine reliable? has anyone had any issues with it?
is the software user friendly and easy to learn?
is spurtcam user friendly and easy to learn?
does anyone have any issues with the machine holding its tolerances?
any comments on the ATC and 4th axis set ups?
basically is this machine worth buying or should i be looking at another more heavy duty machine? if anyone has any comments please feel free to say.
any information and personal advice/experience would be very helpful
