  1. Re: Tormach Lathe spindle encoder specs, ratio, 8L & 15L PathPilot

    There was a production date with maybe a serial number. Nothing else.
  2. Re: SlantPro 15L in production environment

    I know this is an older post, but I didn't want to leave you hanging. I've use my lathe (almost) everyday, for 6-8 hours a day for the last few years. It has treated me very well.
  3. Re: Tormach Lathe spindle encoder specs, ratio, 8L & 15L PathPilot

    Info from a 15L.

    GZS7008-001C-300BZ3/5L

    1:1 ratio.

    No idea on the number of pulses per rev, but I'll be that you can find that info out after looking up the encoder with the info above.

    Re: 4th Axis Issue - Basic Rotary Table

    Not sure what the screw is that you are referring too since I don't have one. What happens if you loosen it?

    Sounds like accel setting and steps per degree are off..

    Re: New 8L Lathe

    Without a tail stock, on any lathe, cutting a 3/4" bar with that much stick out would be difficult to keep those tolerances.

    Re: conversational programming names

    I think what the OP is referring to is that the name for the step in the program will not stay as it was before hand. I have this issues as well.

    If I'm setting up a program using tool #1 and am...

    Tormach - PP Update Wish List

    How about a "Post your wish list" thread?

    My wish list is just for the lathes....

    Dear, Santa (Tormach)

    Please fix the extra coolant pump running at the end of every program. I'm going to...

    Re: PP Conversational programming

    I was looking at the manual that comes with their lathe and they show positive numbers in the DOC areas when using the QCTP. Won't take a second to change them and look at the g-code.

    I'd rather...

    Re: PP Conversational programming

    I don't think the DOC needs to be negative, even with the QCTP.

    Re: PP 2.7.0

    It is the weirdest thing and if it didn't do it on both lathes, I would say there was an issue with the first purchase.

    In previous PP versions, if you opened the door at just the right time at...

    Updated the lathe without issue. Commanded movement speeds are back up. Still has an extra coolant pump on/off at the end of a program for no apparent reason that only showed up in 2.6.0. (does...

    Re: New (2nd) lathe...subtle differences

    I didn't get a chance to play with the new lathe today. Needed to catch up on the work I missed this week putting that one together.

    New (2nd) lathe...subtle differences

    I finally had time to put together my second lathe purchase. There are some differences between the two. One purchased less than a year ago. The other received a few weeks ago.

    Both were bare...

    Re: Dedicated Tormach RapidTurn group

    I don't FB either. Is there a SL-15 group over there? I'd think there would be more action going on here (only Tormach forum I've found) with the 130 units sold in the last 10 months.

    Re: Latest mod: Mist collector

    If this works, I'm in on a smaller version for my lathe. There is an access panel on the right side that would work perfect for one.

    The copy of Mach3 that came with mine was a pirated version.

    This is the RNRMotion.dll file that got me going.
