I've done posts for all versions of Mastercam. It's in the file section on the Tormach Yahoo group.
Fred

you should thread mill thoses holes.

Thread mill all the way! I've thread milled thousand of 2-56 holes in copper with no problems. Harvey tools have x-long single point thread mills.

I agree, Mastercam is a little more complex, but it's a lot more complete. There's nothing you can't do with Mastercam. I've used Surfcam in the past and it's not bad at all but a step under...

Found the problem,X3 post is now corrected and uploaded on the yahoo group.

Ho! that's a old bug!

I'll have to scatch my head to find what was the solution to this bug. If I remember, it was not really post related...
I'll take a look at this tomorrow, but I know for...

Ok, here we go. It's done.
X3 and X4 posts are on the yahoo group in the file section. I've added a little doc on how to use it (don't know if I forgot something...)

Don't wait to long to test it...

Nope, I dont' use G84 for tapping. There's some more editing to do... The only thing you changed is the text area (text you'll see in Mastercam) but it won't change the nc output.

Hummm, I think...

Well, that's a big question. I've worked for a Mastercam reseller and it was part of my job to edit posts for customers. I started in V7 of Mastercam, got some post trainning at the Mastercam...

How can we set the jog step size to metric in mach3?

I've modified my m990.m1s macros to load mach3 in metric by default but the step size in mach3 are still .0005, .001, .002, .005, .01, .02
...

Ok, I'll have to take a look at this. The problem is that X4 is no more installed on my pc so I'll have to install it back to test and update the post.

If some of you are on X5, I've uploaded the...

I can help you on this but I need some information.

What version of mastercam are you using?

What post are you using?

I've done a Mastercam post for Tormach (mpmaster_tormach) and it's on...

Maritool have nice threadmills too.

Have machined a lot of macor with my Tormach. When I say a lot, I mean a lot. Very small and precise parts. The secret is in the tooling and in the toolpath strategies. I've always used carbides, and...

What versioin of mastercam are you using? I've done the mpmaster post for the Tormach. I think it's still on the yahoo tormach group in the files section.

I use Mastercam X5 on my Tormach.Fully...

Using the ATC and the 4th axis, how is it? Do you have Z-clearance issues?

I wanted to share a little project we did on the Tormach. Many hours of machining for thoses 300 parts...

Material is polycarbonate (lexan).
6 tool changes. 10 parts by setup (maximum for the...

Yes, that's the bad part... drives are really expensives...

Thank you guys.

In fact, it's not for hobby. I'm in a University in a reseach department. When I came here, there was no cnc at all. I had to convince everybody of the necessity of a cnc. After 4...

The trunnion is not that expensive. About 22k. Can't wait to cut chip!!!

Not Tormach related but... I can't keep it for me...:wee:

I just received my new baby yesterday. It now sit beside our truly tested Tormach 1100. The Tormach will still be very usefull and will...

I just received my new baby yesterday... It just wait to be connected and cut chips!!!

The biggest difference between 6" and 8" is the center hole. 6" is MT2 ans 8" is MT3. Tormach sell a kit to use MT3, so you can put any 3/4" rod in it, and any TTS holders. That was very usefull for...

I'll try to do something for your guys, somewhere in the next week.

To shrink fit, I just use a torch (propane probably work). I've not tryed it with a gun heater. If you want a "more uniform" heating, you can put your holder on the lathe and make it turn while you...

I've done many TTS shrink fit holders. I did them in stainless.

Here's how I did it:
1-start with a 1-1/2 stainless shaft.

2-on a lathe, make the 3/4" shank and the TTS shape (with the groove,...

I really like the last comment.

Sorry but I would buy another Tormach anytime and I would not consider a mikini.

I'm waiting for a Haas sminimill with a tr-110 trunnion in the next...

Hello all,

I've ordered a sminimill with a tr-110 trunnion table, It should be delivered in the second week of feb.

I'm looking for pictures of a minimill delivery. Want to see the king of...

Not exactly.

Instead of using the wizard, I edited my Tormach screen template (PCNC1100M3-II.set), I added a new page, and re-created the wizard with buttons. I added a new button for rectangular...
