    Re: New owner Torus Pro

    Oops.....didn't see you "spoke too soon" comment before I sent mine.

    I think you have it down to the BOB.....at least I'm pretty sure that's what you were redoing all the connections on. Since...

    That's awesome that it's up and running. Sounds like it was a poor connection. Have fun and let us see some of the stuff you end up making. :) -Mike

    Sorry for the delay.....I don't seem to get notifications for new comments, just the original. I have to come back and look for them.

    Re: New owner Torus Pro

    That's certainly weird. I agree with Jmhx2. To me, that's not the spindle bogging down from lack of torque......it's speed is being changed....but why/how. It could be a mismatch between what mach...
  5. Re: Anyone Familiar with the Maxsine EP1 Servo Amp

    Sorry I can't help with the tuning, but the only singing I've ever gotten from the servos on my Torus Pro has been from the Z axis. My strut is toast so the load can cause the servo to sing...

    Re: New owner Torus Pro

    Nice....sounds like the same setup I have....pro w/servos and power drawbar. More spindle HP is my biggest "want" with this machine.

  8. Re: Looking at purchasing a used Novakon local to me

    It doesn't look too bad. The rust on the tooling will clean up easy enough with scotchbrite. I'd assume the TTS R8 collet is in the spindle. As long as the ball screws and ways/gibs on the X/Y...

    The last time I talked to John(owner), he said he's not going to bring in anymore machines, but he's going to try to continue to supply parts for them.

  11. Re: Looking at purchasing a used Novakon local to me

    You're more than welcome. At that price, you should make your money back pretty quickly. I'm IG under the same name. On YT, put novakon in the search bar and you'll find a lot of vids with it. ...
  12. Re: Looking at purchasing a used Novakon local to me

    It's a Novakon Torus Pro. You can find more info at novakon.net

    In my opinion, if it's running well like the ad says, it's worth the money. It's got 3x's the work envelope of the Tormach 1100. ...

    Re: Power Supply for PDB

    Hi Bill. This is the power supply that Ray had me order to replace the battery for the power draw bar. I have no clue about anything related to the tool changer.

    It's still there. If I had the room, I'd seriously consider it. It's worth that just in spare parts!
