Upgrade to a known outcome. Possible compatibility sounds risky for a desired upgrade.

You can always add the 4th axis in the future (Tormach), for only a slight shipping cost increase over ordering it now with the rest of your gear. Just a thought: PDB and ATC would be used on just...

Is this the one listed on ebay here?

I see Tormach uploaded a video on their new lathe, marked private : ( Where is the good link?

Tormach machines are already well balanced packages right out of the box. The best way to double the output, is to get second one.

Sounds great. Ordered one on Thursday, should be here soon. Another excellent advantage of this tool, in addition to your fantastic results, is it only requires one insert. I already have two Tormach...

Use the air bags' force applied to the same device/die the combined cylinders would be mounted to. I have worked with forming machines which applied vacuum below the part and pressure above the part,...

Could you use an air bag (or air bags) for your application? I have seen them used as pallet lifts. This way you get full use out of all those square inches.

If you set your XY 0,0 at the center of the Tormach travels you will already know where the limit switch stops are. After ref all, set all to zero. Move the X, then the Y, axis to the opposite travel...

A realistic value is the physical components, labor to assemble, and freight. Value the controller and all the motion components with the confidence you feel in them, or $0. Check out the linear...

Are you using plenty of way oil? There are a some helpful threads here on the zone to check out the tubing and manifolds going to each of the ways/ballscrews. Found a few loose ferrule nuts on my...

I use a jig plate fixture system with stand-off's. This way the plate can easily be machined in place, for hold down mounting, or relief areas. The stand-off's are machined to locate in the T-slot...

These are a great find, with a real tempting price... but I like my tooling to say "Tormach", just like my CNC mill. Means a lot to me. Even if they fit the ATC, I'd still get the Tormach ones.

Looked seriously at options for non-flood coolant for the 1100, as I was getting weary of the spray bottle system. Tormach offers the Fog Buster system which has been mentioned in a few other coolant...

I only put in the earbuds if something is really great, or funny. Computers, especially connected to the internet, with sound on all the time are very annoying. Surf in silence.

Checked them out, including the four recent ones, and all are the longer "OLD" style. Thanks for the heads up on this, as I was getting an order ready with few of them on it. They'll even out some of...

Saw a sticker marked "OLD" on the last four recently received. They were still oily and sealed in the factory bag, obviously new, but had me curious. I'll check to see if any are different.

I have found the run out on the few TTS drill chucks I tested between 0.001 and 0.0005, depending on which key location used first when tightening. I had one of the 1/4" chucks look a little rough on...

Currently looking coolant solutions as well. Checking out Tormach's Fog Buster Coolant system:

New tactics, high pressure blogging. Why all the 'how great my stuff is' sales pressure intensity? Even if it was really "free", I mean "free", no cost at all, not even cost of a stamp "free", I...

No regrets. The 1100 is an awesome machine, especially with the PDB and ATC. I also opted for their controller and stand, and plenty of TTS. No need for the 4th axis yet, still working on full...

Thanks for the link. YouTube sent a notice of the video yesterday, but it was marked private. Couldn't figure out how to check it out. Looks like a great machine with the slant bed and the ability to...

Thanks for the link. Looking forward to getting one of these.

Normal. Always reference all axis after turning on the machine. Many also reference after an e-stop, or other anomaly.

Jim

Thanks for the tip. Great :idea: .
