Thanks!
I don't have any homing setup becasue I don't have limit switches yet. So my G28 is 0,0,0
I guess I should remove that whole line then? I dont' see what I would need the G91 for at that...

So I ran my first program today in metal, ran a few in wax and all went fine.
At the end of a contour 2d tool path, my end mill plunged through my aluminum and into my vice, destroying an...
Just did, thanks for the tip.
G0704 CNC Milling Machine
I am selling my G0704 CNC Milling Machine. I did this conversion using the best kit possible. I have only used it a handful of times. I had plans for using the CNC...
Did this ever sell?
I have a converted g0704 and I don't have an oiler on it, so I have been manually hitting each way with an oil can and brush whenever it seems dry. The back of the X is a real PITA, front of x is...
Yes, that's the one.
Have you seen the YouTube video Tormach made on first part on the slant Pro? I thought Daniel did a very nice job explaining all of this
Are there any rumblings about a series IV? Is there any reason to believe one is somewhat close? I'd love to see a new stand with better drainage, along with a few other nice mods, maybe an...
Its possible that someone messed with the pots that control speed and torque on the control board. When I tried doing this, I was having problems with the power output and was blowing fuses way too...
Tormach RapidTurn
For those who have them, would you recommend for or against a used Mikini?
I'd be interested in buying one as a project, I like the machine mechanically, and would want to swap out the motor and motor controller, and likely the electronics too. If anyone has one they would...
Cool vid. Looking forward to seeing the machine in action, would be great to see a walk through of the whole machine. Looks like a beast!
Most people use couplers that allow for some slight misalignment. I have used these from McMaster with good results, but they are not cheap at all.

I have also seen some people...
Was this a new machine, or accessories? Curious to hear its coming from Fedex.
Will do, thanks.
Thats scary.... Can you tell me the name of the thread so I can search for it? I would like to read it to understand the delays
I stumbled upon Skyfire, and for what the machine looks like, it looks like an attractive price point. I am looking or some owners to chime in with their experiences buying, receiving the machine,...
By any chance, are these still available?
Are they shipping it to a port that you will have to pick it up from? Very curious as to how you will get it.
Is this going to be a metal cutting machine, or wood?
What are you using for your spindle?
Where in the country are you located?
I've been thinking of getting and converting this same lathe, I will be following along.
Are you using a double row AC bearing? If so, I don't see why it wouldn't work, but with a single row, I don't see how the bearing won't get pulled apart by force.
I am following and reading, I think its interesting to follow one of the bigger conversions. There have been a million of the smaller conversions, but not many of the bigger. Nice work on the vids.
Only other possibility I can think of is that one of the wires or connectors has come loose. I would get on the phone with Tormach support, they will be able to help you.
In Mach, there was a setting to select which probe you were using, because one is NC and one is NO. I suspect PP is defaulting to the opposite one you have, and you just have to find that setting in...
It was a while ago, so here is what I remember. Lets say the balls measured something like 0.1", I don't remember exactly. I was not able to find balls in that specific of increments like you...
