It sounds like a line came loose or got damaged, or you are out of oil. I don't know the 8L oil system, but the 1100 manual has the system schematic. You can check the connections at the end...

One thing to add... I originally put my 1100 S2 in the garage on the raised floor (by about 4") section behind the tire stop. No issues until using the engine hoist to put the machine on the base. ...

Yes, I have done threading with the RapidTurn. I have done 1/2-13. What is the issue you are having with them? What do you mean by "adjusting the numbers lower"? More information would be...

Plus 1 on the S3 upgrade.

I posted some info on the x axis lube and the issues I ran into with moving the table to the side without pulling off the bearings and full table removal. I would like...

I guess it is official now!

It looks like they kept some aspects of the RapidTurn, the Duality Lathe, and the 15L and molded them together into a small CNC lathe package.
I have always wished the...

My first thought was the battery, but not that. From what you describe, is it possible that a limit switch is stuck or the table is against a limit switch?

I have a 10+ year old controller as...

I kept fiddling with it. .0009" was the answer.

I had checked the admin show soft limits and showed x as -.000001 to 18.000. Check. That looked right, but I didn't remember it being a negative...

I remember issues coming up about limit switches in the past, and searched to see if I am currently having an issue that has come up before for anyone. This appears similar, but not the same. Or,...

Just wondering. I can tell you what I have done that might be related. I ran a program with XYZ and A moves in it. I programmed the A axis (rotary table) from a starting point of A=0. The program...

It would be helpful to know what you are trying to accomplish.

Do you want to re-reference one axis of the machine? Do you just want to move to the limit switch location?

I have been using the Tormach 5" vise for over 10 years onmy 1100. I don't have a full enclosure. The weight is about the limit for regular on/off on the machine for me. I don't use the 8" rotary...

What material and size and how were you holding it? I've seen egging like that in plastic parts held in a vise. The vise was compounding a little bit of out-of-round. If there is any flex in the...

I didn't see that in the new version as I have only downloaded it from Tormach. However, I did notice that early set of release notes that was posted had the first line "We added support for the new...

I saw in the Release Notes for 2.5.2 says it was removed from the lathe interface. I don't know about the mill, but I don't see it either.

Drainage has been various styles on the back of the table. It was without anything, then I used flexible tubes, and at one point had a pvc pipe cut in two for a channel down the back that moved the...

They no longer offer that and haven't for quite a while as far as I know. As I recall, when they moved from Mach 3 to PathPilot, they did not develop anything further and it was dropped from their...

Well, that didn't quite go how I thought it would! The x-axis gib does come out on the motor side (left side). On my 2010 1100 Series II+ machine the motor mount box did interfere with the gib...

I am finally going to be able to do the rest of the oil system work tomorrow. I am planning to disconnect the table from the motor and move the table to the right to get access to everything. In...

I have a Series 2 1100 with the Tormach chip trays and backsplash. I was measuring for a platform to support the table as I moved it to the right using the "loose x-axis mount" method. I noticed it...

I also remembered there is a "G30 in Z direction only" setting on the settings tab. If that is checked, that would explain the Z only move with the G30. The pause may be due to the tool change I...

The code would help. What is your G30 position?

Can you try hitting Cycle Start when it is in that position (with the correct tool in the toolpost)? It might just be pausing for the tool change...

Step,

That helps. I wondered if that might just be the nature of the beast. If I separate the Z axis oil circuit and use a second pump, then I would also get better flow through all of the X and...

If I disconnect the stepper and box from the x-axis like Bryan Turner showed, will I have to loosen or remove the X gib to be able to move the table to the right to access the left oil manifold on a...

I was looking up info on the oil system parts and issues and stumbled on a Tormach 1300PL Plasma cutter. What a distraction!! Is this a new thing or a planned release? It looks really cool. If I...

Is the tap completely clearing the hole on retraction?

I was browsing the Tormach site and happened to notice the release of V2.4.2. I checked email and did not see a notice about the release. Did they stop notifying, or was it just me?

I see that...

I just downloaded the new release of 2.4.1. The release notes show a fix for a G37 issue.

I just stumbled on PathPilot Hub. It is a virtual PathPilot instance that allows you to test PathPilot files as well as to build conversational programs. This is really great!

I had not seen...

This was the first time I have updated and had it take more than a minute or two. Today, I updated and my pendant stop working all together. The Z DRO stopped responding for a while. I rebooted...

Since it was cutting the straight flutes at that time, it looks like it didn't retract before indexing to the next straight flute, or not enough. Since that is at the end of the program, and...
