I have a PCNC1100 Serial number 1141 I think. The machine is upgraded to a Series II.
Last week my spindle speeds were changing on there own at random.
It was late and needed my parts done so I...

Obviously all the power connections have been re-seated with the new power supply. I will try all the other cables and Ram as well.
Do I need to do the CPU?

TIA

Sometimes an hour, sometimes 4. Last night I turned it on to see if what I tried had made a difference. Coincidentally we last power momentarily during the night.
All the house computers rebooted...

Is this Phil going for round #2?

I haven't been here in a while but hopefully some here has a clue to help me with my problem.

I bought a Tormach Control computer with Mach3 about a year ago and it has worked as advertised.
Now...

Does any one know how to use them after they have been written into a post and the manufacturing configuration have been updated?

TIA

Life and work got in the way of time. I still think about it but I have a much bigger project going on for my shop right now.

I think I am going to replace mine with a mechanical switch.

I am pocketing it out so I can remove the Z axis stepper without having to remove the column.

Any Haas post should work fine.

I am actually in the process of pocketing out that area and building a cover with a drain for that same area.

I just use a height gauge on a surface plate with the TSS height gauge ring.

use a trim boundary instead of picking the surfaces.

I am looking for a 5 axis post for Hiedenhain itnc 530 in iso format for any version of NX. Does anyone have one that they can share? I have only been able to find conversational posts so far. It...

Does anyone know what brand the limit switches are on the Tormach?

Thanks,

I haven't listened to the video but I added weather stripping to all my doors to keep them from vibrating.

Looks nice!

For those of you who have a 770 I would like some pictures of the inside of the electrical cabinet. I am about to take on a project and would like to see the layout in picture format instead of...

I have been using Mobil Vactra #2 for 5 years now but I would like to find something different. Any one want to share the brands you are using.

I find the Mobil to be a little 2 thin and appears...

I need to hold a 5/8" shanked tool and don't want to mess with my PDB.
I could swear I saw a post here that had larger side locks in it for TTS.
Any help would be awesome.

So I have used the medium mount to finish rough from 1" down to 2 1/2" down. I tried using the side of the insert first with a small step over but didn't care for the noise.

So using .03 DOC and...

Well, I did buy the 16mm set. The short mount performed well. I tried it 2 ways. 5% woc .335 deep an though it was noisy the insert still looked good at the end. 2500 rpms and 20 ipm.

then I...

It is a "c" shaped part and with the 2 halves put together form an eccentric. I thought of plunge roughing but it would need to be done with an endmill. I need this tooling to finish the part...

You might want to talk to Phil at Mikini, He does buy them back and resells them. Besides that I would say e-bay or craigslist.

Thanks guys,
I was planning on buying all three mounts and a pack of 10 inserts of both grades. Seems like a smart way to go versus buying solid endmills.

I think I want to buy some of the modular tooling but I haven't been able to find any cutting data on the system. Any one know where to look?

Basically I am cutting 3.5" deep in 1018 steel. I...

would it be possible to create one fixture to hold all the parts on a large plate with a single offset?

Allen,
How about a performance update on your conversion.

What Steve said but I have gone as thin as .125 to cut off the bottom later and make soft jaws frequently for odd shaped parts for the removal of the extra and secondary features.
