Yes, Thanks. I need to spend some more time re-reading it. Cismontguy
Wow. That is very cool and what I want to do with the 4th axis I already own.
Can you help me with you comment about a second plug to fit the OEM port?
Is that port on the Tormach. I need to go a...
Thank you very much for sharing these pictures. They are very helpful and encouraging to me for hooking the 4th axis I already own up to my Tormach. Cismontguy
Hello Soofle616, I would be glad to take a look at your stepper driver. I can get in touch. Here are the pictures of the 4th axis I have. its says 20:1 ratio on the data plate.
It has four colored...
Thanks Soofle616. I do not have a Stepper Driver yet. I was looking at the ones in my 1100 the other day with the idea of trying to find one just like
it for sale, as you suggested. Its the next...
Thanks. This is very helpful. I am interested in trying to spend a little time on this cause I already own the 4th axis and its just sitting here in my shop.
I could use it for 2nd and 3rd...
I have an 1100 S3 that I use nearly every day for work. I also have a 4th axis that came with my commercial CNC router. I have never used it to date.
I was wondering whether I could install this...
Was finally able to find the time and run some test Mill Turning on the Tormach 1100 S3. Came out really great in Aluminum. Final parts will be in brass.
Thanks for everyone who helped. Cismontguy. ...
Hello Soofle616, can you message me through either this forum or Facebook when you have a chance. Thanks. Cismontguy
Thanks you for your help! I will take a closer look at this earlier post and see whether it solves my issue. Will report back to the forum. Cismontguy
I want to do some mill turning on my Tormach 1100 S3. I have watched a number of YouTube videos and tried to learn as much as I can before attempting
to Mill Turn a part or two. Has anyone on the...
I am really impressed and happy with this little, QUIET compressor. I am using right now on a job. I have it all wired and plumed into my Tormach system.
I only hear it when it stop filling cause...
I wanted to share my experience with a very reasonably priced, small, QUIET (60 dBA) compressor I just bought from Harbor freight. I have an industrial 2 stage, 80 Gal. Ingersoll Rand compressor but...
Hello GTOGuy,
I am anxious to read what you learn about the Rapidturn. When did you order yours? Was just on Tormach's web site and they are back ordered. Have followed most of Keen's...
I have a regular need for removing chips in deep (2-3" deep) pockets as I machine bodies for the instrument housings I make. I did not want the trouble and expense of a FogBuster, although I am sure...
Hello Forum,
So after reading RussMachine's comments I explored this issue some more. One of the things I found is that the Tormach's slowest RPM is 525. I had programmed my code in Fusion 360 to...
Hello Russ Machine,
Thank you for your help. Yes, I prefer thread milling too, but do not have a thread mill that small for 1/4" x 20 threads. Plus I have this Tension/Compression head and
I was...
Hello Forum,
I am looking for constructive help on threading 1/4x20 holes in .50" 1144 steel, using my PCNC 1100, Fusion 360 and a Tormach tension/compression tapping head.
I tried doing this...
Hello Mactec54, The power to the entire machine is completely off at the end of my work day. I live in a rural area and in the summer we have massive thunderstorms.
I disconnect the power to my CNC...
Hello Forum, I just run two new parts on my "Industrial" Brand CNC router this AM. I reset the Machine Coordinates per Mach3 manual and then I loaded and ran my G-code program, making two examples...
Yes, I agree. The CNC router I use to have was properly connected with a working E-Stop to Mach3. For some reason, "Industrial Brand" chose not to do this. It even states in their very limited manual...
Hello Al, No I am afraid there is no counter balance. I am beginning to think it may have to do with the way I shut down Mach3? I was reading on line about that. My machine does not have a real,...
Thanks, anyone have any suggestions for possible repairs, solutions? This just started happening today. I apologize for my poor typing above.
Also I did notice I can move the X axis as well by...
Hello Al_The_Man, Thanks. No tool changer of Z axis break on my machine. I have a Tormach 1100 PCNC too and it has a break, so I do know what that is.

I have a 2014 "Industrial Brand" CNC router. It runs Mach3. Its just started to do this weird thing where when I shut it down for the day, the Z axis and spindle slowly descend until the tool touches...
Harvey tools sells ones with radius on both sides. Just bought one and it worked great in 4041 steel. Cismontguy
Hello jwatte,
Yes, I think so too. The 1100 does not really like to cut steel.
By sharing my experiment hopefully someone else will not have to spend as much time as I did trying to figure it...
Hello Forum,
I thought I would share my experience of CNC milling on my Tormach 1100 PCNC Series III some slots in a castellated steel nut. I bought a nice Harvey tools 1" woodruff cutter with...
