Is there such a thing as a postprocessor for the Spectralight Mill 0200 for Fusion 360 or Solidworks CAM?
I have one of these with the PCI card, in a Dell Optiplex 755, running Windows 10 64-bit....
This has been an annoying question for a while.
Is the basic / minimalist FANUC CNC G-Code mode properly written as 0-M or O-M ?
Is this the same thing as RS-274 ?
Does 0-M / O-M exist as an...
Oh, I will be quite ashamed of the prototype, no need to worry about that.
Structural design of the exoskeleton comes first, unpowered and only with hinges and connecting linkages. Deal with...
I see Tormach has a drag knife mill tool.

Why are you trying to do this yourself, rather than just buying the thing that you know already does it? Are you unable to buy it in Turkey for some reason?
If you are trying to reverse engineer...
Thank you, that is exactly what I needed to know.
1/4", 1/2", 3/4"... then it jumps up to 2.5" for fixed position vacuum hoses.

What is the specific technical name for the adjustable coolant pipe that is assembled from a stack of small plastic cones/spheres?
I want to get a big diameter one, for vacuuming near the...
I am aware of the differences, though this appears to be a case of YMMV.
Over 15 years ago I did some work fixing a huge unreliable old surface grinder with about a 2 ft wheel. There were no way...
As I may have mentioned, I have a lower middle class income. I am not interested in going into deep debt over this.
I am not planning to run a business selling my CNC machining services. While I...
Yes, thank you Hanermo, you do have the right idea.
This is absolutely not volume production. Basically look at the human body. If I am making limb actuators for a robot, I need at MOST one left...
Size of parts? Well look at the average size of a human body. I expect all parts will probably be within the range capability of a Tormach PCNC 1100.
I am starting to lean more in the new...
I am a hobbyist researching putting together a small CNC machine shop, probably with a Tormach mill and lathe. I primarily interested in trying to build a complex robot of my own design called a...
My general plan is to ignore the built-in drive computer, and do everything from AutoDesk Fusion 360 over serial.
But yeah, I would not buy an old CNC mill if it was not in running condition. I...
The difficulty is doing complex sculpted surfaces for compact structural designs. If all you are doing is simple plunge cuts or bevels, then yes, a basic machine tool is fine.
But once you start...
I am a hobbyist that wants to build a robot of my own design. It's nothing ambitious really, just a powered exoskeleton.
I am expecting to use steel at first, but probably titanium later to make...
In my dealings with Intellitek, they don't give out that sort of information. Their attitude was, "if it breaks you mail the whole thing to us, and we fix it, and mail it back to you."
If you...
I am somewhat confused where the dividing line is between benchtop baby/toy CNC stuff and full size industrial equipment. Tormach seems to be occupying a high-end consumer niche that is too big to...
Probably obvious questions, but:
- do you have the black control box for the lathe?
- did you check the fuses?
- did you check the designed operating voltage of the control box before powering...
For rotating lathe automatic tool changers, is it possible to do a low torque startup check to make sure there are no tool collision problems with the changer?
Reading Tormach's automatic lathe...
(Just a basic CNC theory question...)
Is it possible to have an automatic tool changer on a mill without an automatic drawbar in the mill head?
It so far appears that an auto drawbar is the...
Um, wow, this level of discussion is quite unexpected. I will see what I can distill for the Wikipedia article.
I am a wikipedia technology hobbyist with an interest in CNC.
I have noticed that Fanuc has a large number of different models going back many years, but there's no really clear, easily-searchable...
