@Hellfire,

Did you end up fixing your SMM2 vibration problem? I have the exact same issue?

Thanks. Yeah, I will try to bolt the parts then. The finish is really good. Are you using 3 flute with coolant?

That seems easier than my idea. Thanks!

Thanks guys for the feedback. I started designing a fixture/pallet system using Mitee-Bites. I can have one fixture to do the first process and use soft jaws or another fixture/pallet for the bottom...

Hey guys,

I made my first part with the Tormach today (PCNC1100) and I was quite happy. But the surface finish on the sides are not great.
Here is my settings:

Material : 6061
Tool: 1/4in /...

I sent a PM earlier. Im interested in te TC head

I agree! Thanks for the feedback. On anoder subject. I dont think tormach balances the spindle nut right?

LOL, those are 3D printed parts. I wanted to make sure everything fits before I start machining. I did stress analysis and buckling and it seems to be fine with aluminum bracket (5/8" thick) and...

Here is installed. Last thing to check is the standoff but it should be OK. I will try to start cutting chips this weekend or next week.

Stupid question. Can I use Aluminum 6061 instead of steel? I don't see why not, since it should hold up well too; plus reduce significantly the weight in the head.

Thanks guys. OK so I have a gap between the spindle nut and the slotted bracket (what holds the pneumatic cylinder).

How much gap is OK between slotted bracket and spindle nut?

Please see...

I spend a few hours today designing and making a quick mock-up of my Power Draw Bar using some pictures of the existing Tormach design. Can someone explain to me how the Eccentric Mount Post work?...

Thanks!

I want to buy a used ATC for the PCNC1100. Send me a PM if someone wants to sell it.

Thanks! Do I need that brake? Tormach doesn't sell this brake separately
I also need the upgraded controller board right?

If you will have to do this conversion again; would you purchase the kit...

Thanks but I need other dimensions. Please see attachment

I'm trying to make my own Power Draw Bar for my PCNC 1000 and I already have the air cylinder and solenoids. Can someone let me know the size for the standoffs? Tormach doesnt sell all the Power Draw...

Thanks for this information. I want to do exactly the same conversion on a PCNC 1100 but also add servos to xyz.Do you have any videos?

Can you share the servo model/part no
You used?

Hey Guys,

I got a PNCNC 1100 Series II at a very reasonable price with very minor usage. The machine seems to be in excellent conditions; however, it uses Mach3. It does have the newest VFC...

I tried to find a local machinist but I failed. I live in Chapel Hill-Durham NC and I need an experience machinist to install some linear guide rails to my G0704 Z column. I will ship the parts to...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the 10mm run true before machining.

Now, this is a good point because I notice that the hole is slightly bigger than the drill bit. How do I check if the tail stock is...

Thanks for your reply.

How Deep? 20mm (a little less than 1in) and the Smallest diameter I use I believe is 1/8

As for using a 12mm bar and turning it after I drill the hole, I tried with...

Hello,

I'm using a 4 jaw chuck with a 10mm stainless steel rod, and I'm trying to drill a straight/true hole with a drill bit (cobalt). I used a center, fluid oil and multiple drill bits (from...

Hi Jorge,

Hi Guys,

It's been a while since I used my CNC (Converted G0704) and I noticed that my feedrate is decreasing up-to cero. I'm using Mach3.

Ex. I set my feedrate to 250mm/min and the motor...
