_spindle_rpm_max and _spindle_rpm_min were specifically created to be used in the spindle warmup program of Pathpilot, they're not standard from LinuxCNC. There's never been a list of Pathpilot...
Will it work? Sure. Plenty of 30 taper machines don't have drive dogs and HSK without drive dogs goes up to 63, I think.
How light of a cut you need to take to not spin the tool no one can answer...
You're looking at the wrong power supply. Open the panel on the back of the column.
Why doesn't Fusion output a G30 for the tool change? I've never seen a CAM software not do that.
And in a few clicks you can set the start line to wherever you want. Easy.
You've said several times you aren't using a Tormach machine, so in your example the dog is already peeing and you're...
If you want to end the program with an M00, why not just put an M30 there?
I have to ask, the last dozen threads or so in this forum are a list of complaints you have about Pathpilot so why are...
You can tell the network to automatically connect to a network, it's a checkbox. Click on "advanced settings", then "edit" when you have your wifi network selected.
What exactly are these "wizards" supposed to do?
The X axis of the 8L is reversed from the 15L
Sounds like you might have a short for tool 4. With the turret at say tool 1, you should have 0v DC when measuring from J13-3 (tool 1) to J13-11 (0v). Without moving the turret also measure from...
At a minimum you're going to have to swap out the spindle drive, too. The 440 uses a brushless DC motor/drive while the 770 is a 3 phase AC motor/VFD. I think the 440 uses a 0-5v signal, too, and...
You're correct, I forgot the "run from here" step. You'll always want to select "no preparation" the other two are hangovers from the bad old days of Mach3.
Press the "stop" button to stop the program, refind 0 with the Haimer, then use "find t9999" to find your tool number in the program to restart from the last tool you used. Press cycle start.
What kind of cable are you using? Pathpilot doesnt always play nice with VGA, HDMI is recommended.
Aren't they using little Intel NUC's now? I didn't think any of them had fans
Absolutely. Any interruption in motor commands would effect surface finish, and those motor commands are all sent by the driver.
1. Their "niche" market has always had three pillars: hobbyists, schools, and small businesses. The only ones that will complain on forums are hobbyists, so that pillar may be eroding (intentionally...
After loading a tool with the ATC, check if there's any gap between the holder and spindle nose. You might need to bring the ATC Z position down a little bit. Or if you've previously crashed the ATC,...
I'm actually really curious to see a couple of years down the road how this pans out. From what I've seen on the Facebook group, most of the machines in the US are under 2 years old, so I don't think...
Given that Tormach's market is largely made up of people who don't have experience with any machinery, having a 5 axis machine sounds like a very good way for a lot of people to get in over their...
Click on the right side of the screen (there is a small pane of dots that is very hard to see), hold the mouse button down and drag the preview pane to the left to make it visible
Tormach chops 100 thou or so off the end of the collet to recess it in the spindle now. Other than that, it's a standard 3/4" R8 collet, which can be bought from anyone.
You just need to put the USB in a port on the computer and click on the update button in Pathpilot. Direct it to the file you just download and press OK.

Are you calling or emailing Tormach?
Haas does not sell many of their parts directly to you. Since we're on the topic of spindles, go to parts.haascnc.com, search "spindle" and you'll see a little note on them that "this part must be...
You may have bought Vcarve Pro for $200 "years ago", but the price on Vectric's website is $699 now, that's not Tormach's markup.
Migrating software never goes as smoothly one thinks, and trying...
What version of Pathpilot are you on? I just tested this on my 15L and it follows the operation name on every screen (v2.7.1).
You don't need high speed skip. The standard setup from Methods with Renishaw probes uses X4.7 and a relay to swap between the tool setter and spindle probe. If you spec Blum probes they will use...
I'm not sure if it goes down to 1/4". I've seen down to 1/2".
