    From my perspective, one of their problems is they try to market every single CNC machine that one or more chinese manufacturers make. There product line has a lot of...

    And back to the original point. If you want to compare the cost of Tormach to HAAS, it should be an apples-to-apples comparison. Bare-bones is half the cost, and when you start adding on...

    Can you point me to that? I haven't seen it, and don't see it on the Tormach blog or website anywhere.

    I am with Ray. I have two 3D printers... frequently both of them are running around the clock. I maybe end up scrapping 1 in 20 parts. Almost bulletproof, and "dialing it in" isn't hard.

    I suggest you go to the Syil section and start reading. Maybe jump back a few pages (which is a few years) to when there were a few unhappy customers. It was an active forum about a decade ago, and...

    Re: Switch for Rapid Turn.

    Yes, a 15A rated 3 phase switch will be plenty for the 1.5hp Tormach motor (each phase carries about 7A at full load).

    Re: 5C spindle modification for Tormach mill ?

    So why don't you just chuck them up in a 3/4" R-8 collet? Assuming your raw stock is 3/4" in diameter? Or a 7/8" R-8 collet with slightly larger stock?

    Or if they are undersized enough that the...

    That would tend to point to Tormach integrating the Mesa 7i92 card into the electronics cabinet, so you can plug into it with ethernet cable instead of having to run a DB25 cable.

    Not if it is still using TTS. You going to up the spindle HP than you need to shift to a more secure machine taper in the spindle.

    rigid tapping, faster spindle, and an improved base with better coolant drainage. 'bout time.

    some nice upgrades right there.
