    The answer would have to be yes because Tormach sells an operator panel which breaks these out to knobs.

    G52 isn't in Tormach's documentation, but does appear to be in LinuxCNCs documentation, so maybe it'll behave?

    770M X and Y ballscrew nut access?

    Does anyone have a suggestion on accessing the X and Y ballscrew nuts on a 770M with the full enclosure? I'm guessing pulling the sump out and laying under the machine, but I'd rather ask before I...

    Re: Buying my first CNC (1100M vs 770MX)

    The additional Y travel on the 1100 should be ranked pretty highly in your comparison.

    I prefer controller.

    What is your controller? What is your machine?

    re: 5 axis post-What should I expect?

    I've found a lot of performance difference depends on if the inverse kinematics is done in the controller or if that is being done in CAM.

    The Tormach xsTECH router is in the same price range as the Taig machines and at a quick glance looks to have similar specs.
  11. Re: Looking for a desktop CNC milling machine for brass, copper, and aluminum

    The Tormach 440 is probably the biggest machine that fits that description, but it's $7000. It'd hold its value well, though, and you'll be able to keep your tooling if you go up to a 770M or 1100M....

    Poll: Re: HASS vs. Tormach 1100MX

    Isn't that an 1100MX with a toolchanger and a TM-1 without a tool changer?
    You are correct. That's not a comparison.

    Re: Centroid Acorn experiences?

    Considering that they're using a BeagleBone, I wonder if they're packaging Machinekit similar to how Tormach packages LinuxCNC to make pathpilot.

    Re: BT30 or R8/TTS?

    They initially said 4th quarter of 2018. Most recently "this winter", which could mean as late as the 1st quarter of 2019. So I guess the best answer would be "soon?".

    I believe the MX machines are getting a different BT30 spindle provisioned for a PDB and ATC.

    For the time being, yes, manual tool changing. I've got a 770M. It's my understanding that with the MX machines Tormach intends on doing an ATC with the BT30 spindle and that I would be able to...

    Re: Tormach or Chinese cnc mill?

    Linux's real time kernel offerings seem to be very picky about the hardware they like. First step is to make sure you have hardware it agrees with.
