  1. Fully assembled 1100, where to tie down to trailer?

    I'm going to look at a 2022 1100 for sale and am wondering how I can strap this thing down to a trailer if I buy it. The mill has the enclosure, will I need to remove it to actually have access to...
  2. Doubt my landlord would be supportive of cutting...

    Doubt my landlord would be supportive of cutting a hole is his ceiling. If you know how limit switches work it seems like a super simple approach that will work. The only way it wouldn't is if the...
  3. Re: What is the minimum ceiling height needed for an 1100?

    Thinking worst case scenario, I could move the z travel stop that interfaces with the z axis limit switch by an inch or two up if I had to and path pilot wouldn't yell at me for causing errors right?
  4. Thanks for looking it up, but unfortunately that...

    Thanks for looking it up, but unfortunately that doesn't help. There's adjustable feet and a cable chain that doesn't need to be there if I'm counting inches of clearance. 96" is the factory awnser,...
  5. What is the minimum ceiling height needed for an 1100?

    I'm in the market for a used tormach and have been restricting my search to a 440/770 based on my garage ceiling height. Wondering if I really need to do that, Tormachs website says 96" height is...

    How rigid is the magnaturn 612?

    I know of a magnaturn 612 nearby for sale and am thinking about it to do a complete acorn retrofit on. How rigid/heavy duty are these little lathes? I recently had to use a Chinese import grizzly 6"...
  8. Re: What should I inspect for on a used Tormach mill?

    Thanks guys, my red flag is up a little bit on this machine but it's in the just cheap enough to probably not be a total piece of junk machine category. Last thing I need is another big project to...
  9. What should I inspect for on a used Tormach mill?

    I'm working out the details to go look at an 1100 series 3 next week, what are some important things I should look out for? Supposedly it's been used enough to have needed the axis steppers replaced...

    So I bought an old DHC+ plasmacam machine at an auction and am having issues with the connection to the computer, I think my software is version plasmacam 3.04. Upon initialization I'm getting an...

    Maybe it was their idea of a faster way to stop the axis motors? Kinda weird, I wouldn't think those 3 capacitors on their own wouldn't store enough power to do much but who knows. Might mean the...

    Re: "Project Second Wind" New to me DM1007

    That looks just like my old power supply resistors. should be a 150-170v dc power supply. I think those resistors are for the "axis shunt" or emergency stop, when that happens you will have a SSR...

    It's giving me buyers remorse lol. Good luck on retrofitting it if you go that route. I wound up having to replace everything.

    Re: What BT30 pull studs does a DM2800 use?

    Not something I feel like tinkering with but turning a slightly longer copy of the drawbar on a lathe and adding a small sleeve in the spindle to engage the ball bearings sooner for a shorter pull...
  19. Has anyone used a DYN4 spindle drive with an acorn board?

    The schematics that DMM has to wire the DYN4 as a spindle drive to an acorn board are for an old version of acorn that doesn't exist anymore. I know it's possible to do, as several youtubers have...

    Re: What BT30 pull studs does a DM2800 use?

    I think I remember 5 ball bearings. Here a schematic of what the internal spindle looks like for anyone thinking about building a new draw bar. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to do.

    Re: What BT30 pull studs does a DM2800 use?

    Id like to get all 20+ of my bt30 tool holders pull studs, that kind of depends on the individual price though. If you have a potential group buy I'm interested.

    If your washer stack isn't...

    Re: What BT30 pull studs does a DM2800 use?

    Thanks 2ferrous! I actually sent you a message seeing if you still had a drawing before I saw this. The 45 degree inside taper defiantly makes more sense than the 30 degree taper I've seen.

    What BT30 pull studs does a DM2800 use?

    I've noticed that the handful of normal bt30 tooling with pull studs that I've collected hasn't been long enough to engage with the drawbar. Did dyna myte make its own proprietary pull studs or are...
  24. On my DC power, can I have all dc V- lines terminating into the same common line?

    So I have 2 DC power supplys in my control cabinet, one 24v and one 48v. Can I terminate both power supplies V- into one common terminal? Or should I separate one dedicated for my 24v supply and one...
  25. Re: How important are fuses and where should I put them?

  27. Re: Will your step to linear adapter work with Acorn?

  28. Will your step to linear adapter work with Acorn?

  29. Re: How do I determine how big of a power supply to use with my servo motors?
