Thanks, kstrauss.

The Wayback link was just what I needed. A few photos are missing, but the narrative is intact, and that's the important thing.

Thanks to all who replied.

MichaelHenry's how-to on disassembling his Tormach 1100, moving it into his basement, and re-assembling it is the gold standard for doing the job.

Since I may be looking at moving my Tormach in...

Just migrated to an HP Z820 workstation with an Nvidia Quadro K2200 GPU, and Sprut8 will not run at all. Constantly throws Access Violations from SCKernel.dll and occasional random error messages. ...

A couple of years ago, there was a Chinese TTS ER20 collet chuck that got pretty good reviews on accuracy, fit and finish. Now I don't seem to be able to find them. Has that source dried up?

Still playing with this . . .

Touchscreen works correctly in BIOS, so I think it's an Ubuntu driver/configuration issue. From intensive googling, it looks like a LOT of people are having...

Since I had the Acer monitor, I figured why not try to get it working with PathPilot (v1.9.3).

When I type ADMIN TOUCHSCREEN in the MDI box and hit RETURN, there is no response whatsoever. It's...

Just a word of caution to those considering buying the Newegg computer combo referenced elsewhere in this thread, the case supplied with this combo is a flimsy piece of junk, and mine came with a DOA...

Received today a couple of emails, purporting to be from SprutCAM, inviting me to visit their new Customer Area and use License Manger to activate my NEW License. Is this legitimate? Malwarebytes...

I know this is probably trivially simple, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.

I am trying to set up a job with the rotary table positioned horizontally (i.e., with the rotation axis...

Well, blow me down. You're both right. I had just never seen this before. It's a good day when I learn something new. Thanks.

Opened up Sprut8 this morning and discovered that all the drills were missing from my tool table. All the endmills and miscellaneous cutters are still there, but all the drills (and there were a lot...

rhost-- Thank you.

I wasn't trying to run LinuxCNC in Windows. I was trying to run the bootable CD iso that loads Ubuntu and runs LinuxCNC in it without changing anything on the hard drive. That's the point of the...

Being curious about LinuxCNC, I downloaded the 10.04 iso and tried to run it demo mode on two different computers. On both, the demo hung up partway through and would not run. The checksum on the...

I used the link in Mike Henry's post (Thanks, Mike) to update successfully. I'll wait to see if the built-in update feature works now.

This is something new that just started happening recently. A job will be running along just fine, then during a Z-up motion, the head stops moving and the machine lets out a loud "Eerrrkkk!" The...

Is anyone else having problems getting SC8 to update? My last successful update was in September. Since then, when I press "Update" I get the "SprutCAM Updater Running" message, the little gizmo in...

SWL--

I see this problem from time to time, and this usually fixes it for me:

Assuming you have placed the .201 hole in the Job Assignment for the Hole Machining Operation, highlight the item...

OK, I pulled the trigger and upgraded to SC8. On the whole, I'm pleased. Graphics are sharper, and simulations calculate faster.

One problem, though. The add-in for Autodesk Inventor appears to...

In a reply to an email, Eric told me they ARE selling SC8, and it's as stable (if not more so) as SC7. On the basis of that, I decided to go ahead and upgrade, so we'll see.

Eric did not answer...

Eric has just posted a video tutorial outlining the differences in user interface between SC7 and SC8. The location of some icons has changed, but overall the look and feel remain the same. The...

I too would be very surprised if Tormach moved away from Sprut. At the same time, I find it curious that Tormach has had so little to say about SC8. Assuming they are committed to Sprut for the...

Yeah, I'd really like to know what's going on with SC8. There was a brief flurry when it was first released, since then nothing. The SprutCAM America site hasn't been updated in ages, and there's...

Yes, I agree that, as a practical matter, the error is unimportant as far as milling cutters are concerned. I checked the speeds because I am working up the nerve to try some tapping, and I thought...

Decided to check my actual spindle speeds (PCNC 1100 w/vectorless drive upgrade) against the input value, and this is what I got. It's not BAD (less than 5% error over most of the range), but I'm...

Jim, a couple of ideas come to mind. They may or may not be what you're looking for. . .

If you don't mind creating separate project files for each of the eight pairs, you could get the project...

In the "SprutCAM 8 Stability" thread, RndmNmbr states:

"SC8 is a LOT slower than SC7. I was not expecting this. SC8 stops to "think" (i.e. freezes) a lot more than 7 did. (I keep thinking it's...

Have been waiting for further updates on SprutCAM 8, but the silence is deafening.

Early issues with the online registration appear to have been resolved. Other than that, there don't seem to be...

Dan, your best bet would be to ask Leadshine directly. They've been very helpful when I had similar questions.
