About to pull the trigger on a TL-2, not being a lathe guy I wanted to see others opinions on the tool changer. They wont sell the 8 tool changer on a machine with a tailstock but they will the 4. I...

I have a 2020 VF5SS with a HRT450 rotary. I also have a rotary tail stock that has a pneumatic brake. Tail stock is air to apply the brake and from what I can tell the rotary is air to release the...

I'm looking to get a HRT210 for my 2020 VF5. I have a HRT450 and it works for what I got it for but its too big to be running smaller parts on. Looking around I can find them used for sale but can...

Didn't catch that one on the site. Guess I'll try tormach on Monday and see what they say. Gives me a little hope that's its not some scam company.

Anyone here deal with blade serpent? I've had an order in with them for months and there is no response from them by phone, email, social media. Doing some digging they have the same address as...

I got a 5x10 vicon plasma table that I'm upgrading the controls on to a mp3700 from candcnc. Still waiting on some parts from them but trying to figure out what I can. I'll admit I'm no expert on...

I'm using XTREME CUT 250C by flood at 7% concentration. I have an upgraded pump, 5/8in lines and 3 nozzles. I'll try again playing with the feeds. See what that does.

Yes it is with a ball mill on a slight slope. Ended up just doing a parallel instead but would like to figure out the scallop. I tried one way cutting which fusion says is climb cut only but it...

Any tips on what I can do for a better finish. Trying to do a scallop and it cuts great one way but when it turns around it gets all these little hairs on...

Can someone point me in the direction of where the settings would be for the tool touch off routine on the tool setter? If possible I'm trying to change the speed at which it does it. Right now it...

Anyone used the rotary around the Z axis with fusion 360 and pathpilot? I'm trying to make a part that is a hair more than the Y axis travel but for the life of me can't get it to rotate the part....

Yea that is what I was looking for. Now I feel extra dumb because I tried that. Turns out my / key on the number pad doesn't work. Thanks a lot, got it working now!!!!

I've been searching for days now and can't seem to find it. How do I divide work offset by 2 to find the center? I can find all kinds of posts saying that pathpilot can do it, but they are all why...

They defiantly changed something on my new one. It has a noticeable loss in power vs the first one.

Thinking about it now I think it needs to be part of a tool change routine as it also need to raise the z on first tool move over and lower back down z at same time

On current controls I have one spindle as T1 and the other spindle is T2. They are roughly 9in apart on gantry. I guess what I want it to do it when changing spindles by calling different tool...

I guess that could be one work around but would be a programming headache

Can you elaborate a little more on this? I've been reading anything I can find on it and nothing touches on spindle or tool offsets in x or y axis. Is it something so super simple/obvious and not in...

Just pulled the trigger and ordered an acorn for my router. Any info or links on how to program the second spindle? Trying to do my planning while I wait for it to show up

More that can it account for the offset between them. Spindle 1 is called as tool 1 and spindle 2 is called as tool 2 but they are 10in different in x axis

What about using on a router with dual spindles?

How many vfd failures have there been. Mine just died after less than 6 months. Tormach is saying that they are rare to fail. I'm trying to decide if I should buy a spare

I'm in the same boat looking for best options on THC and there is a decent amount for good things said about the c and cnc stuff but they are from what I can see a complete system and I already have...

What things are linked to the er1 light. I'm assuming this is error 1. I had the spindle motor worked on and now I have this er1 after reinstalled. My Google searching didn't bring much up on it. I...

Not sure if this is a tormach or a fusion problem but anyone else having problems turning off the coolant? For me using the coolant disabled setting on tools does not turn it off, I've been forced to...

It currently has fanuc servos but was thinking to change to clearpath. I have not looked into what powers the turret yet. I have the spindle out getting rebuilt was waiting on that to get into it...

Just as a follow up, hitting reset did nothing. Power cycled and still nothing. Got distracted and left it alone for about 20 mins and when I came back it just worked. Not sure what it's problem was...

I've been searching but everything I find is for mach3, on pathpilot how do I override the hard limit switch? I hit the z axis one and now it won't move

Got a new 1100, is the collet for the spindle an option? I for the life of me can't find one in all this mess they sent me. Trying to figure if its hiding or if they just really want to stick it to...

I'm definitely interested. Before I seen this I was looking at the oak board but trying to figure a way to run step/direction drives with it. I have a lathe with 12 tool turret I'm working on
