Thanks for the info! This was definitely an, "I'm new to this" type of problem. I had my tool stick out entered into GWizard and it was telling me my deflection was going to be something like .00066"...

I don't think I did the best job of showing it here, as I didn't post anywhere close to all of the speeds and feeds that I was trying, but at a certain point, I was struggling to get anything to...

I was talking to some people in a Tormach Facebook group that have been using YG-1 1/2" end mills in their 1100MX's and M's with a lot of success, so if you ever feel like trying it again maybe...

Like shred was saying, my machine is a BT30 taper and I'm using set screw style holders (I own a couple of the Maritime holders btw, so far I'm very happy with them!). I can't find a max tool...

That's actually just my typo... The second cut was estimated at 0.1631HP. The smallest radius on my external contour was 0.77" inches so I don't think that would have been a problem, but I only made...

Am I doing myself any good by looking at the estimated HP, or is that just a waste of time? I was thinking so long as I leave at least a 40% buffer I should be okay, but if this is a flawed way of...

After a day of experimenting, I'm still confused... I was able to talk to Bob, who makes GWizard, and he looked over my speeds and feeds for me and was able to confirm that they should be within my...

Thanks for all of the input! I was trying to find a torque curve for my machine, but after speaking with Tormach they let me know that they don't release them, so that's kind of infuriating... I...

I'll have to try that tomorrow! Using a 10% WOC worked, but my god it was slow. Is there a better program than GWizard for me to use? Or is there an issue with this machine? I get that backing off...

Thanks for the input! That does sound pretty slow but I'll try that now. GWizard says the cut at 10000RPM should be using .3679 HP, but honestly, at this point, I don't really trust GWizard...

PS...

Also, the 3/8" YG-1 end mill (36584) is a 3 flute with a stick out of 2.0556".

Hi all!

I have a new 770MX, and I keep stalling the spindle. I'm not sure if this is an issue with my speeds and feeds (I'm using GWizard, but I'm very new to it), or an issue with the machine...

I don’t think the genswiss products are quite what I need, but thanks for the input! I have some 1/8” tools that I need to engrave a face, but I’m having some clearance issues so I’m trying to find a...

Does anyone know of a BT30 1/8" end mill tool holder that has a projection length of less than 1.75"? I need one to hold an engraving bit, and I'm hoping to find something closer to 1". Thanks!

I'm hoping to be able to fit a 12" tall part in the 770MX. Tormach sites the travel as 12.7, so given tool holding and tool height this makes it not seem possible. However, when I check their CAD...

Also, I just realized you can probably answer another question I have! I'm hoping to be able to fit a 12" tall part in the 770MX. Tormach sites the travel as 12.7, so given tool holding and tool...

Wow, that does look different, thanks for the info! I guess I need to be thinking about finding something smaller to mount on the right side of the table.

Hi! I'm very new to CNC work, so please excuse me if this is a stupid question. I've been looking at buying a 770MX and I know I want to add a trunnion table to it, but I'm trying to see if it'll...
