Sorry my tomorrow turned into 3 days [emoji2359]
(In case it’s hard to see, I’m measuring without the plastic sleeve)

Hey MH!
I’m not sure Tormach wasn’t very helpful with any part numbers or replacement parts.
I’ll measure the ID and get back to you tomorrow [emoji106]

I’ll be interested in a write up on your monitor mount! Looks good. [emoji106]

Haven’t seen them on amazon. eBay is possible.
I bought mine from
https://globalcnc.com under “coolant nozzles”
They first had me check with my local MSC store. But after MSC took too long...
Not sure if this falls into “tooling/tips” but is a good (tip?) info for all tormach lathe owners with turret option. (Edit: I can also start a new thread elsewhere if it’s not relevant here.)

I love my sight gauge! Unfortunately the nipple on the plastic fitting just broke. I forgot it was attached when I pulled the tank out. I don't suppose anyone here knows where I can get replacement...
Nice setup! What helped me with the collet sticking was installing a quick exhaust valve from Clippard.com it makes the cylinder movement a lot "snappier" and was able to knock the collet open. I'm...
Understood. I apologize I was replying through my phone and didn't read thoroughly. Then I agree. I always take a cut and measure instead of the paper method for both work AND tool offsets for X. ...
No problem. You probably already know but I wanted to clarify. The way I do it is I set X (and Z) on my OD turning tool (usually tool #1) on the Work offset screen here:...
Yes. That’s how I do it. [emoji106]

Ok thanks!

Being a newish owner I've also wondered this.
I'm not in front of my machine to try but after hitting E-stop, don't you have to reset the (I have the Tormach lathe) limit switches when you turn...
For what it's worth, I was able to use the collet closer with the chuck.
I needed a work stop inside the chuck so I put 3/4 stock in a collet and it worked perfectly. No vibrations. However I do...
I'm from CA. Good to know. [emoji106]

Thank you. Saved on the home screen! The ugly icon makes it easy to locate! Lol

Truth! (Mike helped me tons with my lathe too, he's awesome.)
Your parts are looking great! Congrats on getting her up and running; making $$. [emoji106]

Congrats on your Slant Pro!
Unfortunately yes, you should remove the collet closer if using the chuck.
The draw tube will be spinning wildly loose inside the spindle since it's not screwed on...
Awesome. Thank you.

Sorry to hear that. My decision to go with Tormach was BECAUSE of their reported good customer service and support.
So far I have not been disappointed. After getting passed the quirks with the...
Congrats on the new machine (order)!
I was looking into a small prototype use 3D printer. I'm totally new to this.
Would this kit be a good consideration for a total noob to new 3D printing?...
For the collet close/open codes M65 & M64, What does the P value "2" represent?
I'm using the same setup as Leeway and Gmade CNC (and others I'm sure). Thanks for the parts list and videos!
...
S2jesse. Thanks for that insight I never considered the weight of the arm being a factor. [emoji106] maybe it's time to invest in a coaxial!
Shassel, I've used my mag based Noga attached to...
You can also put a scale squeezed lightly in between the tapered points and adjust X until the scale is perpendicular to the Z axis

I put a piece of turned round stock into my er16 collet. Align by eye then Put a dial indicator on my chuck/5C collet, rotate the chuck/5C with needle on stock diameter and adjust X until I can get...
Rdsi, That return line is a great idea! I would be very interested in something like that.
On another note:
I was inspecting (bent down to pickup an Allen wrench) and noticed coolant on the...
There's no light coming though the bottom of the rail.

I finally have a fix that works for me. The problem is not just the coolant. (I also put silicone at the corner of the door-this should have come already sealed but has a gap)
It's the chips that...
Pledged!! Can't wait to get it.

I'm also having this problem (as MichaelHenry warned me about) I was thinking of making a squeegee inside to scrape that bottom channel on the door to take out the chips/coolant. It's been dripping...
