I know this is an older post, but I didn't want to leave you hanging. I've use my lathe (almost) everyday, for 6-8 hours a day for the last few years. It has treated me very well.
Info from a 15L.
GZS7008-001C-300BZ3/5L
1:1 ratio.
No idea on the number of pulses per rev, but I'll be that you can find that info out after looking up the encoder with the info above.
Not sure what the screw is that you are referring too since I don't have one. What happens if you loosen it?
Sounds like accel setting and steps per degree are off..
Without a tail stock, on any lathe, cutting a 3/4" bar with that much stick out would be difficult to keep those tolerances.
I think what the OP is referring to is that the name for the step in the program will not stay as it was before hand. I have this issues as well.
If I'm setting up a program using tool #1 and am...
nerdly on YouTube has both. He hasn't done a comparison of them and not sure he will. Might be worth your time to check out his videos. He is good about answering questions, from what I...
Are you drilling with a feed of 1000?
Is there anything in the MDI to change stepper direction?
Something I ran into today that would help when deep drilling. Progressively smaller peck drilling!
How about a "Post your wish list" thread?
My wish list is just for the lathes....
Dear, Santa (Tormach)
Please fix the extra coolant pump running at the end of every program. I'm going to...
I was looking at the manual that comes with their lathe and they show positive numbers in the DOC areas when using the QCTP. Won't take a second to change them and look at the g-code.
I'd rather...
I don't think the DOC needs to be negative, even with the QCTP.
Chamfers cut left to right for me using a turret and gang plate.
It is the weirdest thing and if it didn't do it on both lathes, I would say there was an issue with the first purchase.
In previous PP versions, if you opened the door at just the right time at...
Updated the lathe without issue. Commanded movement speeds are back up. Still has an extra coolant pump on/off at the end of a program for no apparent reason that only showed up in 2.6.0. (does...
Probably more then what you asked for...
Lathe work is pretty easy. Home Z, then X after turning on the machine. Place the bar stock in the chuck, protruding enough for the piece to be made and...
I didn't get a chance to play with the new lathe today. Needed to catch up on the work I missed this week putting that one together.
The PP versions are the same. Both 2.6.0. Lathe one was...
I finally had time to put together my second lathe purchase. There are some differences between the two. One purchased less than a year ago. The other received a few weeks ago.
Both were bare...
I got my email, but it was sent to my spam folder. I didn't see it before I saw the "Sorry" email, otherwise, I might have been a bit worried.
I don't FB either. Is there a SL-15 group over there? I'd think there would be more action going on here (only Tormach forum I've found) with the 130 units sold in the last 10 months.
If this works, I'm in on a smaller version for my lathe. There is an access panel on the right side that would work perfect for one.
Been fun watching them.
All info below involves their lathe.
I haven't found a way to hide it (hub window) yet. I switched it to USB to remove some of the clutter.
New update fixed the coolant issue I was having, but...
I'm interested in knowing which pump you went with.
I have confirmed that it is only effecting the files I have already made and are only screwing up when I try to edit them. It only does it too if they have multiple steps with the same tool. If I...
It is all sorts of jacked! I'm having to edit the g-code to turn on and off the coolant. In the editor, if I click on the "coolant on" button, finish editing, save, click on edit again, it is off. ...
Why not an option in the settings to have it default On/Off?
Did you get this figured out? If not, what are your VFD settings?
The copy of Mach3 that came with mine was a pirated version.
This is the RNRMotion.dll file that got me going.
Scratch that... Found one.
