Tormach Mill-Complete with Tooling - CNCzone.com-Classifieds Buy and Selling

I had a problem quite a while ago with the spindle not holding speed. The solution was to turn all the pots on the drive board back and forth. Kind of like twisting the knobs on an old transistor...

I use koolmist77 for flood cooling. Great as a coolant. Not so great as a lubricant. I just use it because that's what I've used for over 20 years.

FYI. The paint on the machine is solid. The...

I do not use the lockdown Tormach version of Mach3. I download the full Mach3 from artsoftcontrols.com and use the Tormach screen set.
(Menu at the top of the program, something like "view" and...

I've made a vb script that runs when the save tool information button is pressed on the offsets page. It prints a text file to the desktop. I added it using the mach3 screen designer available at...

nevermind

I always use "start from here" or whatever it's called. It allows mach to preprocess the file up to the chosen line and you get to see the position the cutter is moving to before you commit. I always...

Mirror finish on a Tormach? Who told you it was possible? I don't expect it from mine. Never even got close. I just learned to appreciate the swirly marks and got on with the work. Course I never...

Not so. A cnc mill runs multiple axis simultaneously, right?:)

I was not expecting cam soft to do the kinematics. The 7 axis G code is cam'd using an offline program. The app I made parses the...

If you go to the camsoft website you can find a video of my camsoft retrofit on a kawasaki robot.

Please watch the video and notice how SLOWLY the machine moves.

I no longer use camsoft. I...

why cut air? are you running canned cycles? I can usually find a G00 prior to the last known cut and restart from that line. Also, is this a dedicated PC or are you: running other software/connecting...

Even without a tool offset and/or work offset, the system would still protect the machine.
If I had no values entered for tool offset, nothing for work offset and was just using the machine in...

I think you might be misunderstanding my gist. I was suggesting if the OP had all the parameters updated, it would work. If you show a tool number in the little box (don't know the name, not in front...

Thanks zephyr for checking that out. I was operating on a distant memory; hadn't had the situation for a long time.



If mach knew the tool was loaded and the tool table was current and the soft...

Good point. I'm not in front of the mill to try. I assumed the machine would refuse the mdi input when the move endpoint was outside the envelope. I know the feature puts up an error message when pre...

Soft limits would have helped. I don't know what Tormach offers. I (and others) no longer use the locked down Tormach version of Mach. We use Mach3 with Tormach screens to get access to all the Mach...

would soft limits have prevented the crash?

I wouldn't peck if I could avoid it. Negates the value of parabolic flutes which is fast chip clearance and improved access for coolant.

I would custom grind the drill if possible. The stock...

Omron Snap Action Switch, Miniature, Sealed, D2SW Series. Grainger Item # 2KRY8 $4.41USD. Now quit your whining.

I hope it meets your expectations. What led you to choose Mikini?

I downloaded Mach3 (don't have the revision # on hand) and run the Tormach profile (I think; it was a while ago) It gives me all the options that Tormach locks down. Mostly use the screen editor so I...

I use Mach3 with the tormach screens and use soft limits. Great when jogging as you can jog rapid and the software will decel as it approaches the switches. Have not had an issue yet. It is useful...

poppabear;
I need a cut list, where to buy, how much the misc parts cost, diagrams showing all jigs and fixtures necessary, specific tooling; endmills, drills, chamfers, etc. Also include gcode...

you might look at the M3.m1s file and compare to M4.m1s. They're in the macro folder I think.

Why do you think Mach should work on a laptop? Mach states specifically that laptops are not supported.

If I had 10k for software, I'd buy the latest full blown OneCNC, get the job done and have change left over.

when would you ever have a part that needs all 4 axis moving at the same time?

if you run the same program without the tool installed or with the Z axis reference raised to cut air, does it still happen?

Sparks/Reno and Las Vegas are on major shipping lanes. Nevada has preferable tax policy over California. Many nationwide companies maintain fullfillment centers in Sparks and get good discounts for...
