Congratulations, don't forget to join the facebook group, there is a lot of help there as well.

If I remember right, its the high-flow coolant pump.

Hi all,
Right now I have a Tormach PCNC1100 S3. I've had it since April of 2018 and I've been very happy with it.

I am lucky enough to have work for as often as I am comfortable spending time out...

Thank you for the reply tom o and wildwhl. I think I'm going to move forward it it, and it sounds perfect for my needs. I have some more questions, but I'll post in a new thread so I don't hijack...

If the design allows, you could also, spot the bottom of the hole with a drill, just deep enough to leave a dimple for epoxy to sit in.

Hi tom o, its been a few months, how are your thoughts on the TM-1P now?

I've been looking at them as an upgrade from a Tormach. I have some parts that I could do that are 20-26" long, and the...

Would you go into detail about how this is done?

Have you tried the Shear Hog?

Also, if you are doing the same operation over and over, just hogging out material, and don't need to change tools, you could disable the PDB, go back to the shorter...

Yes, a 0.120" chamfer for the 0.109 hole.

I was able to get it to work last night. I set the dwell to 1.2seconds and I backed off the depth by 0.050".
After this, all the threads felt good,...

Yes, I'm using the blue Mist Coolant Tormach sells, which had been fine for cutting threads and general milling, but after the first ones pulled out, put some Relton A-9 Aluminum Cutting Fluid on the...

I watched the threads, I don't think its slipping, and I was able to tap using a drill chuck on a bridgeport. (These taps are brand new and have been in less than 10 holes of aluminum.)
On the...

Thank you, looking forward to the weekend project.

When asking about a upgrading a Series 3 to a 1100M spindle, I was told the spindles were different cartridges and the head castings were different.

Maybe its 'possible' if you replace the head of...

Hi all,
I'm using an PCNC1100 with their ER20 floating tap head and YG brand M3 threadforming tap.


I'm trying to form tap some M3x0.5 holes in AL6061 about 0.30" deep, hole depth is 0.40". The...

I'm not sure if it if it would save you any, but what about cutting the parts from bar stock in the vise and interpolating all the features. You maybe be able to get several parts programmed together...

Was hoping it was something simple and common. Thank you!

Is there a way to store a position (say the back Left edge of my vise jaw) in the machine position and recall it without having to indicate it in every time? So that after I power on the machine, I...
