Hey guys, has anyone used an adapter plate for a Cobra 51 20C collet to 16C collet?
My boss is thinking of getting one.
Is it a pain to install? Can it be switched back easily...
Thanks for any...

Its a mill/lathe combo machine. Looks like a harbor freight model. I had a Bolton tools version a few years ago. The lathe part was decent but the mill was only good for milling aluminum or plastic....

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I'm not sure what you mean by manual g code steps. I can go through the program and remove the m codes and other nonsense, but the program is quite long and this is a pain. I was hoping I could just...

I'll look into the post processor issue. I guess there is a post processor default setting to change or something like that?

g-code onto my Tormach 770...

I might be interested in the 5c collet chuck.

I've had issues with mine too. I finally turned a new plunger with tighter tolerances and it works great. It has been working ever since.

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a collet set for my 1978 10k lathe. The only set on ebay is in 1/16ths and I would rather have 1/8ths. The spindle takes the strange 6k collets. Does anyone have any for...

Thanks guys, I'll give it a try. I don't have any cam software, I write all my g code by hand except when using the wizards. I really need to get some cam software though, I want to learn it.

Hey guys, I use some of the wizards that came with my mach3 software on my 770. I was wondering if I can use a wizard to generate a g code and then be able to save it like a normal program. How do I...

Glad your house and mill are OK. Not sure why Z axis would be giving you issues but I'm sure someone on here will know whats up and help you out. My 770 had a loose Y axis connector inside the...

I was just wondering if your house and mill survived the storm buddy. Let us fellow tormach owners know, we care.

Thanks guys, I'll look into these.

I don't use cad/cam...

Does anyone know what "Scripter Compile Error in Spindle Speed.mis" code means.
Came up last night while I was running my 770, seamed to run just fine with it up, I cleared it and it came back on....

Get it to .374 then just use sand paper to bring it to .3745, be careful, use fine grit, watch your fingers. Check the size often while sanding.
Good luck.

I cut 4140 alloy steel with my 770 a lot and I've found its worth starting out with a carbide roughing endmill to get material out quickly. You still have to take it easy but they cut way faster than...
