  1. Re: Phase Converter/VFD? Spindle recommendations for aluminum milling in US?

    Run the wire one time. It cost less up front and down the road. Besides the fact, over time, it pays for it's self in energy savings.

    If your dryer is in the shop you could just run a "extension...

    Re: RAPIDTURN VIDEOS

    The only fix for a brand new tool like this, is a replacement of the junk one with the proper tool. Literally nothing else should be an option. Or Tormach would have to give some kinda concessions....
  4. Re: I want to buy a co2 laser cutting machine

    I would not trust them just because 3 members all in the same thread saying the same thing. All with one post each. This kinda thing seems to be badon this forum.

    Re: Adjustments for accuracy?

    Why does anyone need to explain anything? Lots of smart dudes here. The OP can take the info and figure out what works IMO.

    Re: Tormach 1100 vs. Haas VF3

    Brother I agree 300% On all points. Perception is reality though. I have watched hours of tormach video's. I know it can get it done. I also know most the best machinist can be located in a garage...

    Re: Tormach 1100 vs. Haas VF3

    Most shops have no clue what a tormach is. They certainly have no idea what a pathpilot is. You are doing nothing but a disservice to students if thats the extent of the machines they train on.

    Re: Tormach 1100 vs. Haas VF3

    If you are training machinist to go in to production or job shops, use real machines. Depending on what you are making, you could do way more then 10x production on a vf3 over a tormach. Small parts,...

    Re: Machining square tubing

    Have your helper cut the center out with an angle grinder. Then just clean it up on the mill. I know I can rip thin wall like that fast as all get out with some cut off's
  15. Re: Anyone tried making a DIY Water jet cnc?

    The thing is, you need to design and build the intensifier pump. It's only unsafe if you build it that way. Many people likely would build it unsafe or failure prone. Everything else can be bought...
  16. Re: Tormach Pathpilot Mirrored parts Left and Right handed

    Often times the CAM prog will allow you to mirror the paths. Never used a Tormach
  17. Re: Automated machine to do STEEL "replica gun components" - How expensive/complex?

    Buy a machine and learn to use it and the prog needed.

    Everything cost so much now a days cause no one makes their products. Also why it's so easy for a company to go belly up. If you own a...

    Re: Vertical mill and VMC prices

    They are worth exactly what someone is willing to pay, and the other dude is willing to except. I sold a 1959 Bridgeport base with an old 110v shaper on it. No milling head. I got 1000 bucks. The...

    Well you would want to because you have 500 parts, each with 15 holes, all of which you can do before the machine is done running the next part. Even more so when you have a helper. Although the...

    It's the horizontal lead in radius that needs changed. All I see there is vertical. Maybe in the drop down.
