Yes they are. Same collet and shank. In fact I ordered quite a few TTS tools from Tormach to use with my Pro.

Just put some rubber strung up on two magnets clipped to the head and you are done. Cheap and practical.

You should set your spindle spin up time to 0.5s. It is programmed in C300 controller.

That is what I did. Just whip up a holder to high speed dremel and bolt it to the head when needed. You will have to start it by hand but no biggie.

I have my T-Pro-S set to have 450 IPM . Also it is important to have reasonable acceleration set (which will drive the speed with which you gain that rapid speed). If your acceleration is too low...

Ya the head is pretty rigid. Also the surface area (which those two bolts clamp) is huge (it is not hollow). Linear guides work beautifully on Z. I can easily step up and down by 0.001" with ZERO...

same here. I use R8 4" chuck and keep RPM under 1200.

Also when I spool it I use G codes for time delays to make sure that I go from 0 to 1200 (if I need 1200) with 200 RPM steps with 1 sec delays

Folks,

What do you guys have in your Mach3 settings for motor tuning/acceleration values for servo edition. Mine came with 14 in/s and it seemed to be too slow for short distance travels as rapids...

big mistake. upgrade to servos !

and same here. I simply warm up the spindle at 1000 RPM for a couple of minutes and it is good to go. No whine and spools by hand freely.

Folks,

Been using diamond grad tool from TM on various materials and still battling how to fight burr it leaves on a surface after work (especially in aluminum). Any tricks of the trade to...

Not current but voltage. And you are not measuring it but rather read it (0-10V) into ADC pin of the microcontroller and convert to display (0%-150% or so) on the VFD display. And yes it is very...

Ya PDB looks great. Once it is productized I am in. However (!!!) One thing that they should add on the LCD/VFD display is spindle load indicator (0-150%). To do this just cut in C300
...

Makes sense if you use this machine for unattended production yes. However one important consideration to keep in mind if you want to walk away is to contain the coolant. I frequently get low levels...

Help me understand this regarding ATH gizmo. I use Tormach TTS with holders and tools and their heights already measured and entered in Mach3 tooltable. Yes with PDB you have to manually change tools...

I owned a few MPGs from Vista CNC. All worked great with NM 135 and now Torus Pro S. Whatever MPG model you choose make sure that it has an option to move with "rapids feed" or has override move feed...

1. Torus Pro will give you much larger working envelope. It is a head and shoulders above Tormach. Servo model moves real fast (and gives you cleaner circular interpolations due to much higher...

I wouldn't be spinning heavy lathe chuck to 6K RPMs. Keep it below 2K. If you lathe parts below 3/4" in diam simply use collect as a chuck (then you can spool to 6K).

I need an example of G code that allows me to repeat the same part but shifting coordinate system over X so that I can use the same subroutine that cuts the part.

Example of pseudo code I have in...

ok that worked. Now I want to take it one step further. Every time a program terminates DRO reads whatever the last feed rate was used by the G code. I want upon termination of any program feed rate...

Hello,

Right now when I launch Mach3 mill profile I have a federate set to 6. For the life of me I cant figure out how to change it. I want feed rate to be 45 as I launch Mach3 since I use MPG...

I need to square my head to a table on Y axis as it is nodding and loosing 0.004" over 12" of Y travel. I hear that it is done with shimming where the column is bolted to a base. I identified such...

Folks,

Lots have been said and written about milling speed and feed calculations. Lots of online calculators to do just that. However!!!! All of them calculate feed (IPMs) for cutting e.g. when...

a pic here...

Placing the mill on the stand was quite trivial thanks to the engine hoist. Just need to ensure that the legs of the hoist pass around or under the stand ahead of time. Coolant system and a shroud...

Folks,

Finally got around to write up on my Torus Pro servo model mill that I received a few weeks ago. I had a warehouse to receive it for me and picked it up to move into its permanent place in...

I was thinking if it would be possible to get 220v source from 110v (North America) by way of connecting via step up transformer (5000W) off household 110V / 20A outlet.

For example this one:
...

MRM,

What is the spindle runout on your PRO ?

Also as you start cutting alum and steel could you post performance indicating the type of endmill, RPM, IPM, DOC and axial depth.


Thx.

What ever happened with 25" x 15" travels claimed in the specs!?

Folks, I keep seeing guys on youtube showing off how they use mill as a lathe loading stock in the collet (obviously small diameter) and lathe cutting tool in a vice. Then running it as though it was...
