1988 Takisawa TC-1 CNC lathe for sale. Runs good, but I need the space. Made in Japan.

Very low hours, was a backup machine when I bought it, has 2019 hours total...

Tormach PCNC1100 Series 3 CNC milling machine, excellent condition

Bought new in 2014, light hobby use only, never crashed, selling because I need the space....

It sounds like you may be new to your Tormach (congratulations!) and maybe new to CNC in general. Here's a free tip (so take it for what it cost you) - ALWAYS maesure and enter all tools into the...

When you move your work piece around, you probably need to reconfigure your G54-59 offsets, right? Unless you have a bunch of fixtures you're moving in between, in which case it wouldn't take much...

As far as I know, a tool change won't allow you move control.

It doesn't exist. I sent a few suggestions early on to them regarding this, but nothing was ever implemented.

The best work around is just to hit reset, make your changes and use the right click...

PathPilot doesn't use the standard Linux installer. Instead, it is just an image deployment. Everything on the disk will be wiped out.

You might be able to install PathPilot first, then...

If you're not crashin', you're not machinin'!! (ok, maybe that's not entirely true).

It happens to all of us - I turned an Ultradex indexable drill (probably close to $200 in body and inserts)...

I'm running an old set of whitebox hardware on mine and when I have super long program with 3D surfacing or similar, my DROs stop updating. This is a "good" thing because the real-time OS is taking...

Really glad you got it settled!! Congrats on the awesome MRR. That's basically where I landed, corn cobs require massive machine stiffness and HP to be effective, grab a real VMC and you're good to...

If I did much aluminum there would be no competition - shear hog! Even nyccnc moved away from his corn cob for aluminum and went shear hog. Tormach sells one with the tts shank for a good price.

What kind of material?

I would steer clear of the corn cob style on the 1100. I have one for aluminum and another TiAln for steel - both from Maritool. The aluminum one is usable, but very loud....

My apologies for the bad info, I was confusing the two issues. I didn't pay close attention to the service bulletin (aside from skimming over it when it was released) since I run an 1100 and do not...

I think the issues were related to the "this file has changed on disk" dialog popping up while jogging. I believe this caused the controller to ignore the jog shuttle and continue on it's merry way...

Seems like a lot of work to mess with the Pi just for a Dropbox client - why not just install Dropbox on the Ubuntu distro underneath PathPilot? Lots of people did that before it was "officially"...

Yikes, I would probably pass on that job. I thread lots of barrels (not on my PCNC1100), but it is going to be tough to dial in the radial and axial runout well enough for silencer use in the mill...

I honestly don't think your processor choice is going to make much of a difference. Keep in mind this specific Linux kernel (the actual Linux system code) is "realtime" and designed to prioritize...

Hey guys, easy question regarding wear offsets on a Fanuc 0T-B - What am I doing wrong?

I am touching off an OD threading tool, and attempting to dial in the thread pitch diameter with wear...

As everyone has pointed out above, the encoder will re-engage the cutter at the same exact point regardless of how many times the program runs.

It is also possible to "pick up a thread" on a CNC...

Since you just bought a $12k mill, I would advise you to invest in at least $100 for 10 chinese fake-TTS holders. You're going to spend far more crashing tools without real offsets =)

As for adding a wireless connection, here is the same USB WIFI dongle Tormach sells: Edimax EW 7811UN N150 USB 2 0 Wireless Nano Adapter 4710700927168 | eBay Works great in my machine.

I don't...

For chambering and muzzle threads, how do you indicate both radially and axially? Radially is easy with a set-tru style collet chuck and/or 4 jaw, but axially on a CNC you would probably need some...

You do not need to format or wipe (same thing if you leave partitioning out of the equation). The install disc will repartition your disk the way it wants it and copy all of the Linux, LinuxCNC and...

Although I don't think your original question was directly asking this - the PathPilot install disc doesn't actually "install" Linux. It deploys a disk image that already has Ubuntu + realtime kernel...

I think this might be the doc MD was referring to, it is quite helpful! Can't remember where I found it online, but it is great for explaining tool nose radius and DOC/WOC parameters.

EDIT:...
