Thanks a million for this kheston! I was extremely annoyed when I lost connection to my share after upgrading. After following your instruction all is well in the world again!

Nice sharmstr! Can you please share the details of your hack? Not sure what Tormach was thinking when they programmed this feature... I never reference off the SW corner either, it's a floating...

This happened to me a while ago..... if memory serves me well I resolved it by turning on Dwell before retract and changing it to 0.1 seconds.

Hi Alastair

Welcome to the UK 770 community. Andy bought his coolant from me (cheers Andy). If you would like a bottle get onto eBay and do a search for Hangsterfer's which should take you to my...

Making good progress Keen! The overview of your Cylindrical Grinder was a good watch too.

Thanks Terry! Yup seen that vid from John, although I have noticed that Fusion now has a Thread Mill feature which I think I have figured out after reading some HSM threads.

Hi Andy

Like you, I too failed miserably at tapping an M10 thread into 25mm thick Mild Steel yesterday. As Ray has already suggested I drilled a 9mm hole which = 50% thread but the 770 still...

Hi Cliff!

Ah yeah, compromise! A weekend away to score enough brownie points for more workshop time! [emoji12]

Yes, I have subscribed to your channel and I am also very interested in the new...

Have you sent this picture to Tormach? If you have not then perhaps you should, as it is, like you said a new PCNC1100. The more feedback they get of issues on "New" machines the better. One would...

Ouch Andy! What a way to ruin your day! Thanks for posting, will be sure to use the Max Velocity slider when I make my first part on my 770 this weekend.
Welcome by the way, nice to see more UK...

In a word, rigidity. Those BF Machines are manual conversions, so not very rigid at all. Also did a lot of research on various options and spoke to a Wabeco owner who also had a 770 and said the...

Nice and cosy Russ! If We need something it's literally arms length away! [emoji12]

Cheers pal. Got some Hangsterfers S-500 CF for the Fog Buster and a tub of Rocol RTD for drilling, reaming and tapping operations.

Nice bunch of guys here and feels good to be part of the...

Getting smaller with every purchase pal. Yup every thing is in arms reach...... :)

Hi tbev. Read a couple of posts regarding how poor the factory flood coolant performs on the Tormach and made the decision there and then to go fog buster. In hind sight I should've just pulled the...

Thanks for the heads up tbev. Well spotted oneinight, that indeed is its final resting place.

2 Months since placing the order and here stands my PCNC770, from the USA to England! Barely enough space in my little garage for the 770 so good thing I did not push the button on a 1100. Looking...

Hey Guys

I have come to realise that life is just to short to be cranking on a manual milling machine wheel, so, have decided to take the plunge into the world of CNC.

Naturally budget dictates...

I am sure somebody with way more experience than I will be along with the correct answer, but to me it looks like you either need to up your RPM on your 2 flute end mill, or use a 4 Flute end mill to...

Keen the 770 and 440 are rated at 110V.

Not knowing what would be sufficient I had the idea rather overkill than under....

Nice find Phil, that's a good price too! Thanks!

So can any of you recommend a reasonable shipping insurance...

Hi Dave

I downloaded the manual for the 770 today and whilst having a read noticed that Tormach sell a Step Down Transformer for International mains supply.

For the sake of simplicity I have...

Hi Dave

I am in Farnborough, we are virtually neighbours.......

Many thanks for the link and great source of information.

Going by the dates of your posts I am guessing the purchase of...

Hello Gents

Quick introduction. My name is Grant, I live in Surrey United Kingdom and very much a noob to the world of CNC. I am not entirely a noob to machining though as I own a mill, lathe,...
