Huh, I'll check the connections like you said, but everything seems to be working well. It's not super apparent in the LCD, like water being disturbed by a bass note. Anyway I'll see if tightening up...

Recently upgraded to the series 3 motors. Now when I turn the machine on I hear a hiss from the motors and I notice the LCD screen on the controller gets some noise in its display. Is this normal?

Yeah it was, thanks! Just finished VFD and stepper upgrades and they're quite the improvement. Funny thing is work is asking if I can cut them parts now, on the machine they just sold to me... Could...

Rock on, some of those look like they might work. Thanks!

I'm looking for suggestions about a tool I've been unable to find. I need to make some circular undercuts with a Tormach 1100. Making parts that are better suited to a lathe but this is what I have....

After truing up my dial gauge and oiling everything I can't measure any backlash in X or Y anymore, Z looks like it could be 5-7 tenths. Think it was just sticking a bit after sitting unused for 9...

Welp, picked it up $3,000. Just got to get it back to my shop and I'm off to the races!

Cool, that's what I suspected. Yep that image is what's in this machine, so I'll consider the cost of upgrade as well. Thanks so much for posting that!

I found that upgrade diagram, but it doesn't look like anything that's in the main cabinet. I'll need to find a little more history on it but one of the shop guys was telling me the last operator had...

Yeah that's what I've been reading, which has also opened my eyes to how much is involved in setting these things up, but also the possibilities. This would be my first and I figure if I can pick...

Hey all. I was hoping to get some advice on this PCNC 1100. From what I've read this should be a series I? I might have the opportunity to pick it up for pretty cheap. What are some things to look...
