I am having the same issue with my machine. What did you do to resolve it?

I have PathPilot 1.9.8 running on the SlantPro with the Turret. While running an OD turning cycle generated from the conversational programming, in the live graphics preview the tool tip appears to...

They're definitely made in the US. I've been to their shop where they make them. See my posts on page 4 of this thread....

Ok, I recalibrated both through IPS, and now my work probe length offset is 5.6189. Substantially different from where it was originally, but perhaps it's because I'm referencing the spindle housing...

I did not recalibrate the OTS. I used the VQC routine for calibrate spindle probe length, where it takes the Renishaw work probe and touches it to the OTS. I'll sweep the OTS with an indicator and...

I've always had the Renishaw probe in our machine, and it's offset has always been 5.5149. To the best of my knowledge, it's never been crashed. We've never ever replaced the tip on it. After making...

For those of you with a full enclosure, how do you keep the coolant in? It drips off the door onto the floor when you open the door, and I'm also getting coolant between the collet draw tube and...

I visited Jose at JFK Precision Products. He is a very nice guy and was very helpful. He is the (one and only) guy who makes these things. He apologized for the error and gave me a replacement right...

I had quite a severe wabble on mine and ended up disassembling it to track it down. The ID of the index ring on mine is .015 larger than the draw tube, which in my opinion is too much and is an...

Well, the new tailstock arrived, and the good news is, unlike the last one, I was able to get this one perfectly aligned. The bad news is as follows:

The casting is not fantastic; it is porous...

Tormach has indicated that the tailstock manufacturing has been improved a bit, and a new one is on its way to me. I'll post back with the results when I get the new one fitted. A big thumbs up for...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one, but concerning the issue is more widespread than just mine. For those of you who machined or ground it for more clearance, how difficult was that to do? Did you...

Does anyone else have a tailstock for their Tormach SlantPro 15L? After about 18 months of it sitting next to the lathe, I finally got around to setting mine up, and to my horror, it was WAY out of...

You do realize that you only need to re-zero one tool. The rest of the offsets are just relative. So, it isn't a whole ton of work. I usually just keep a small piece of scrap to turn a little bit of...

Does anyone have this issue with their turret? Everything still seems to go okay during part cycles, but I'm rather concerned about this backlash in the turret. Thoughts?
...

Bought it for our school's manufacturing program, and it's been pretty great so far. The control interface and conversational programming is excellent, and I say that comparing it to three Haas...

I remember mine doing something like that when it was new. It certainly does not now. I don't remember if I did something to fix it or not.

The motion of the auger and the amount of space between the auger and the tube really causes the chips to pack in between the auger and tube, rather than proceeding forward out into the angled part...

Has anyone ever had a problem with their chip auger clogging under large amounts of chips heading toward it? I had to take the whole chute off including the horizontal part and let it run that way....

If it's not field installable, and if it's a different base casting, then why does my ST-10 without a tailstock have ways for a tailstock to sit on? I haven't seen one with a tailstock in person, so...

Exactly; I've learned this. My question is, in the software's internal programming, why not use these switches as real electromechanical limits all the time, whether they have been referenced or not?...

I see that a few of you have discussed the topic of tool and work offsets in this thread. Can someone explain to me exactly what the values in the offset table represent? I can't seem to make sense...

As I'm learning to use the lathe, but there's one thing I just can't understand. After powering on the machine, you can jog it all you want before referencing, but the limit switches are not...

Anyone know of any waterproof fluorescent fixture? It may be more diffused than LED. I don't want to see spots after getting blinded by a light. Also, does anyone know what the big knockout in the...

From my searching, it seems like not too many people own these. Or if they do, they don't post much online. What I found is that the air cleaner blower cart has a Cypress EZ-USB microcontroller...

So close yet so far away. Still waiting on the catalog entry for just the turret, for those of us who bought machines already without them.

My VersaLaser VL200 with accessory air cleaner cart says it's carbon filter is expiring (6% life left). It needs an 18 digit activation code to reset the counter. There's nothing physical in the...

Glad to see it finally for sale. Now, where's the turret? I thought they had the turrets, and were just waiting on the enclosure. Please don't tell me there's some kind of delay on the turret now.

I've had mine sitting un-powered in my shop since June. In terms of quality, the functionally-important parts that matter seem to be pretty well done, and the cosmetic/non-functional parts seem to...

I've heard the same thing. As soon as it is ready, I'm definitely ready to buy it! C'mon Tormach....
