Bit far for me to pop over, I'm in Robertson NSW

Where are you located?

I received mine a couple of weeks ago, I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment, yesterday I indicated the turret and took a test facing cut, it is spot on without any shims! I was quite happy...

Shouldn't be a problem with a thick riser, just bear in mind the smaller tool holder probably won't accept 3/4 shank tools like the CXA and might not be quite as rigid, probably won't be an issue....

Thanks Step, had a look and joined the group.

Can anyone tell us what the new product released at the Tech Days is?

I have the 1100 as specified from Tormach with no changes and it runs on 240 volts, you don't need to change anything on it

Chris I don't know where they ship from in China, but when I bought my mill I had it shipped from Las Vegas to California and then to Sydney via NZ, at the time it would have been more expensive to...

Thanks for all the replies, I have it working fine now, I calibrated the spindle speed and got rid of the dwell.

Thanks for the replies, I've edited my original post to include material details etc. I am waiting for some new taps to turn up as this size isn't common here in Australia but will order a supply off...

I have a job that requires a series of 4/40 tapped holes as well as a series of 6/32 tapped holes, they are through holes as well the material is 6061 al 6mm thick, I will use two ER16 tension...

Just had a look, it's gone?

Mine stays in whatever unit it is currently using, I usually only use Metric, the other day I ran an imperial job- the G code changed it to G20 and when I was finished I changed it back with G21.
On...

Type G21 in the MDI window to change it.

Ive done the same its fairly easy, append the files and then go to edit look at the lines you need to delete and put a space above and below them so you can see them easier, that way you can have a...

I sorted out my problem, I had the Y origin at the back of the job but the cam had it in the centre, I reset the job and away it went with no problems!
Will

I have read all the answers here, I checked my tool table settings as well as referenced the machine on start up , the machine was in G54 when I zeroed the job and the part is in G54
I still got the...

I had this happen the other day, I was doing a solidworks to mastercam exercise, the part is only 2.5 x 4.625 inches and it said it exceeded the Y axis, I have since
upgraded pathpilot and will try...

Just leave the collet in and move the ETS to one side, then touch off on the end of the spindle, that's all I did and it worked.
Will

I installed it today, had the same glitch as Beezle, just tried it again instead of re booting- all worked fine
I think the soft limits on X aren't as good, but will need to re test to be certain....

Nothing but praise for their customer support!
Will

very sad indeed! this is something that should not have happened!! Greg has been a visionary in the CNC world and the products of his thoughts have changed a lot of lives! Rest in Peace Greg your...

Get The PDB, if you need the 4th Axis get it then! As you are in the US its no big deal to you to get it later, I got as much as I could when I got my mill to save on overseas freight. I still got...

Im in Australia and run off all 240 volt, I have the 110 volt coolant pump plugged in to the bottom of the control panel and the computer power comes from a wall socket. At work at the moment can...

Just ordered one should have it tomorrow

WillQUOTE=Superman;1681184]My T1 is a 6mm carbide NC spot drill (Sutton), great for hole spotting & for general part deburring (0.2 chamfer) and...

What do you guys use to do Chamfers on your Tormach's? Tormach don't offer a TTS one and all the ones I can find in OZ are 20mm shanks, which without work won't fit, and if there isn't a centre hole...

I've recently upgraded from SC7 to SC9 and cant find a metric tool library in SC9 like 7 had, is there any way to put the same one in SC9?
Wll

Thanks for the replies, I had worked it out my self, i edit the code produced by master cam as per Bamcnc's example M6 T10 G43 H10 and it works fine,( Mastercam breaks this up over a few lines) if...

Im looking for a Tormach Mastercam post for X5 that supports metric and the ATC? Can anyone help?

I have SC 7 the latest model and three computers, I couldn't get it to work on one of them which was frustrating (windows 8)
