    These are back for round 2 with an even LOWER price. They worked great for Aluminum alloys, but I don't do hardly any work in that form these days. After the index mill died I don't need these...

    That's awesome! I hope that my own son's curious nature draws him into this world so he "gets it". If not maybe he can pick up some of it by Osmosis :-)...hopefully not my frustrated language, but...

  8. Re: AEB-L Stainless? Any "touch or feel" comments from the Tormach Knife Clan?

    Hey thanks for posting that video of your machining process. Wow I am amazed at the "friendly nature" of AEB-L based on what I saw. It is a pretty nice material to work with for its corrosion...
  9. Re: AEB-L Stainless? Any "touch or feel" comments from the Tormach Knife Clan?

    Thanks! I'll have to look at the Steel Baron...have never shopped there before so will check it out. This was just the information that I needed to feel confident with bringing the material in...
  10. Re: AEB-L Stainless? Any "touch or feel" comments from the Tormach Knife Clan?

    Thanks for the reply and I really like the looks of your design. That AEB-L certainly takes a nice hand rubbed satin finish! Warping is certainly no fun to deal with. I'm typically running stress...

    Nice! Just be sure to listen closely to how your machine sounds when it moves through a warm up program cycle or cold fast jogging sequence before installing your PathPilot upgrade. This alone will...

    Re: MORE PROBLEMS!!! Grrrrrrr....

    Outstanding! FYI- you should do the PathPilot thing with your 770 ASAP. I did my 1100 first and then followed suit on the 770 only to be rewarded with even better performance than I had...
  14. Re: Kickstarter: EDC Key Organizer made on my Tormach 1100

    It's never fun to have to troubleshoot your machine when you are not able to use it all that much. Good suggestions so far. Tormach tech support will help shoot you straight too. If you go through...

    Re: Superfly -vs- 38mm TTS facemill

    I too have blown up 2 of the 17 mm centercutting EM's. They both failed at the threads at the slightest of mistakes (chatter from a loose fixture bolt and a bit aggressive WOC). I just don't think...
  18. Re: Is Tormach good for aluminum injection molding molds?

    10 RA is quite a stretch for these machines! What you are looking for, however, is a different world of surface finish than this class of machine can be relied upon to deliver. My best surface...
  19. Re: Is Tormach good for aluminum injection molding molds?

    If your molds are small enough to fit the envelope the 770 is a very nice machine to have. Now if you are looking to continuously maintain sub +/- 0.001" tolerances and/or make a living off from...

    The question that it asks with Sprut 7 when post processing is if your code is for a different 4th axis configuration than the standard mounted on the stepper side of the table as far as I know- I...

    Dang Steve! How thick are those rudders typically? Sounds like a good spot to maybe deploy some grade 5 Titanium :-). Sorry to derail the thread, but that's pretty crazy to think about one of...

    Re: Aluminum 7075 vs 6061

    7075 is nice to work with. I find that it requires less edge breaking and overall finishing work than 6061. It's the aluminum of choice for most of my personal projects.

    Re: tormach 770 cutting 1018

    Go to low RPM range and you will be able to make that cut at a slightly reduced IPM. I have run 0.25" slots in 1018 and normalized alloy steels via taking 0.10" DOC passes at 12 IPM with the 770 and...

    Re: A little picture engraving.

    I figured that you were somewhere less than .003" step over based on the DOC, but at .001" the detail has to be amazing! Now obviously it is going to take a while to machine, but if this isn't...
