Here is a plan for one very similar:
POWER DRAWBAR KIT
This one even has a pneumatic cylinder which pushes the impact wrench down for you! I have it installed in my 770 and it works great. A few...

I have used dropbox for a couple of years and never had a problem. I know it is against Tormach guideline but I figured I would give it a try, I am glad I did. My computer is a 10 years old dell and...

Thank you Kevin! Thank you to all of you actually, swapping two wires did it. Luckily my mistake cost me only a 56 drill bit!

I have a quick question for the 770 owners. I disconnected the spindle motor a few month ago and today, first time using it since, I realized the spindle is turning in reverse. Can anyone snap a...

This is freaking awesome! I hope it works well...Can you give us a price range? And yes, an android app would be great. Android is growing fast and I personally prefers it to ios (though ios is less...

I agree. The moderators have a responsibility to keep things in order. Don was not the victim that certain depicts. He had an attitude and has insulted many people, most of the time for no good...

Some people here need to chill out a little. The guy is frustrated that his machine is not perfect and that's understandable when you lay down 8 grands on it. Don't take it so personally, he is not...

Thanks John for correcting me.
It does look better that what I remember, they probably improved it. This being said the 770 still has a much more professional looking electronic (I don't have a...

I had the same questions a couple of years ago. I liked the Mikini but it was too big for the room I had at the time. There is someone on the site who has a mikini and a Tormach 1100 and he liked...

Here is something that should do:

Hi Smokey,

Did you buy your 770 within a few month of being released? If so the control software send with then was not tuned correctly (I think acceleration was set too fast). I know it because I...

Actually I am pretty sure you can change it in the configuration file (I remember playing with it a long time ago, until I decided it was better left unchanged). It may void the warranty, though I am...

I had my 770 in shed in my yard for about 2 years. I live in georgia, so the winter are nothing like in Chicago but it does freeze regularly and I never had a problem. But I am not using coolant so...

I think re-installing is the only solution, thanks for replying. My previous computer died, the mother board got fried. I guess some metal chips got on the board. Now I am having another problem, may...

Hi all,

I have been using the tormach version of mach 3 on my 770 for about two years now, with no problem. A few days ago I reinstalled mach 3 (the original tormach version). Everything works...

It may accelerate wear and tear but I would not be too worry. You can change the bearings anyway.
Any video?

I have cut stainless steel and titanium but very very little and I cannot compare to the 1100. It did perfectly fine. I even use to cut stainless and titanium on a Taig (a 80 pound micro mill), and...

The weight to travel ratio is very similar. I don't know that there is such a big difference in terms of rigidity. But it is true that you probably would not need much the faster spindle and if you...

Here is a review of the Kx3. Unless you can get it for much cheaper, I would not even consider it. Probably a good machine but certainly not as good as a 770.

Hi Harvard,

I posted a short review of my 770 here:
TormachTOC
I discuss the reason why I went with Tormach. I think when you buy a machine in this price range, you need to be ready to have some...

Actually, if you do not plan on using flood coolant, you can make a cheap stand out of 4 by 4. Mine took me about 45 min to build and cost me under 30 dollars. With flood coolant, it is more involved...

My 770 alone was about $300 to Atlanta, GA. It came with UPS freight, I was home when it arrived. But as someone else said, Tormach will give you almost immediately a quote if you ask them, then you...

If you need to replace your worn out endmill with a new one, it is faster with an endmill holder than with a collar. Not that I care about the issue in any way, just trying to help you getting it.

You can click here Milling | smithy.com and then click on tool holder set, it will open a window where you can chose a holder separately.
Don, I do not know the answer to your question. May be for...

Smithy also sells a TTS holder that takes 3/4 shanks. They are cheap too, like $15. I have a couple from them (not the 3/4 though) and they are fine.

Hi,
I had the same issue and remember reading that it is a common issue with mach 3. I think if you press "stop" when the shuttle is blocked it should fix it.

I am using a homemade one on my 770. Here is a link with more info and a video:

I have had the same problem (and still do) with 0.05in drills on aluminum. I got better at it but never found a perfect solution. What I do and lower my breakage rate is: make sure you have little...

You should check Quick Change Tooling for TTS ER20 holder. I have a bunch and I am happy with them. Smithy also sells TTS holder, some cheaper than Tormach: Smithy

Yes it may not work on a ELC outlet. It didn't here for me in the US, it kept triggering it. When I talked to Tormach about it they told me it was the spindle drive that was triggering it. But it may...
