According the website, which I missed before, the tank is 12 gallons.

Leaks are always fun. Speaking of. Anyhow know of some good concrete paint that wont react poorly to coolant? I want to...

I bought some machine casters for it when I put it in storage. Those lift it up a good 4".

I didnt realize that the new stand fit the series 3. Hmmm. I just watched the install video. It is a...

Hey Guys,

Just pulled my 1100 out of storage. Getting ready to have the stand and trays powder coated. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for modifications I should do to it. I'm tempted to...

You cant do an upgrade from 1.9 to 2. You need the 2.+ usb thumb drive from Tormach and you need to boot to it. It has a disk image on it. ...

"But there is still no way to specify M7 in Conversational without re-editing the code.". That's correct as far as I know. I guess I didnt look past your "manual move" comment. Sorry.

If you...

M8 and M9 are toggled via Alt-F.

Keyboard shortcut for M7. I dont know. It might be in the docs.

Alt-M should do it. Adding a button is a pain in the ass because you'll have to re-add it after every upgrade.

I received an email from them when they started the program. I believe the whole process took 3 weeks. They sent me a box. I put my spindle in the box and sent it to them. They sent it back.

You're getting the error because the Fusion post for PP doesnt support probing. https://f360ap.autodesk.com/courses/mastering-wcs-probing/lessons/lesson-3-understanding-the-code-behind-probing

You need to modify the python and glade files. If you dont know how to do that, then I suggest putting in a feature request with Tormach.

Hey Mike,

Do you have an ATC. There was a boss probing issue early on with PP2. I cant remember all the details, but we were able to determine that it only happened on ATC machines. I thought...

Heads up. That Duracut is going to rust everything it touches. I cant believe Tormach sells it.

Glad you sorted it!

My guess (since windows sucks at this stuff) is that its your windows box. Have you tried rebooting? Alternatively.... if you have mapped a drive from windows to PP, delete it and recreate it. ...

I wish. I've asked for it but its fallen upon deaf ears.

PP is a heavily modified version of linuxcnc. You can learn all about it here: LinuxCNC

If it were me, I'd bite the bullet and get Smartcool. I have it and absolutely love it. Being someone...

No problem. If you needed accuracy and had a probe, you could also set G59.3 to a probe position (for a vice jaw it would be roughly X-.5 and Y-.5 from your vice jaw), switch back to G54 then hit...

Hey Phil,
I dont think Pete will mind me speaking for him. He posted the NinjaPendant on FB when it was still in development and not on his website. A bunch of people wanted them so he made a list...

Use a WCS that you dont normally use. Like G59.3. Anytime you want to go back to it, switch to G59.3 and mdi to X0 Y0, then switch back to whatever WCS your program is going to use (G54 as an...

Join the FB group if you havent already. Its here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TormachOperators/

The NinjaPendant post is here: ...

I use them all the time, especially the 1/4" NPT from lakeshore.. I start at the bottom and make 2 turns. Depending on the size, I'll make 2 - 4 passes. Watch this: ...

You're not the only one I've seen report this issue. I'd send an email to Tormach about it.

fwiw - I'm using a range extender (the controller connected via cat-5 to the range extender) and havent...

I wanted to congratulate @narrobb on his work. I've been playing with the iPendant and it works as advertised. Install was dead simple. And with a few edits to the install files, I was able to get...

I was referring to the paid forums on nyccync.com

I agree with smokediver576. I would also add that John's new website is an easier way to find his videos and info: https://www.nyccnc.com/ There's also a forum for paid membership where you can...

Google setting up your trackman on linux. PP doesnt care as far as the right click goes. For coolant, you'd have to program it to send ALT-M.

Depending on what version you have, to get to the...

For anyone who come across this and needs an answer to the original question, all the probing routines have a retract variable. Just go edit whatever routine you need in /operator/subroutines. Look...

FYI - Tormach has 4 outer corner probing routines in the next version. I've added inner corner routines and handed the code over to them so hopefully it will be added after 2.0.2. (note: the code...
