Those DT1 mills are quick.
You are going to be a busy guy.

Good for you, better to move ahead at 73 than fall by the wayside.

I hope you continue visit this forum.

Your comments here have been helpful to me.

I have good luck with ER20 compression heads. But my only other experience with CNC tapping was with a Haas mini mill, the compression head is a whole different experience.

Some users here have...

Did you check to see if the motor mount is loose.
All wiring tight?.
My machine is an 1100, but the stainless steel drip tray on the front of the table gets some bad vibrations at certain feeds....

Low air pressure has given me that message several times, and the fault has always been mine.

Air pressure?
Something keeping the ATC from sliding into position?
Bad wire connection?

My mill is an 1100, but crashes like you describe when the tray solenoid valve air adjustment screws become loose.
They are pictured and described in the ATC manual in section 4, Air Lines.

I have no experience with Fusion 360, but my understanding is fusion360 is 2.5D
While your project is 4D.

I just down loaded v10 but did not install it yet.
Might wait and see what happens before updating now.

The largest fly cutter faced, then crossed the moldblock shown, at much faster feed...

I think Tormach's problems are growing pains.
And this warehouse thing will lead to faster shipping.

Just received a small box from tormach, just 3 business after placing order, fastest ever to my location.
But they are working out the bugs, along with some other items, I ordered three 10 packs of...

That remodel is going to make a nice shop.

I have a medium TTS M12 tool holder. With no tool installed it is 2.5" from the top of the stop ring to the bottom of the tool holder.
Overall length 3.902

Congratulations to both of you. Mine arrived more than a year ago and I'm almost smart enough to run it!

I'm no expert, but here is how it works in my head.

Your cutting edges will make a finite number of cut in a given material.

If you feed to much it can break the cutter.

If you take less...

I got a 5" vise in four days two week ago.

Is my thought of tipping the mill on the stand, then sloping the stand to level the machine prone to make the machine walk under vibration?

Making angled spacers for between the machine and stand...

Reading of problems of the flat bed of the tormach stand, and poor coolant drainage, I am considering putting spacers under the left side of the machine, then lowering the left side of the stand to...

I think a good machinist is more about mindset.
Check everything. All the time.

I have the manual with out section 9.2.8 also. Brand new harbor freight non contact tach. says my commanded 400 rpm is really 380.

Nice, the way those fit in a shallow drawer.

For the 6-32 0r 4-40,
4- 40, 40 revolutions for 1 inch of feed so a speed of 40 rpm and 1 inch per minute feed would be right for the tap.
But your machine does not run at 40 rpm, so multiply both...

Very nice, the main door open vertical with air power real nice, The massive iron base full of sand. wow!

Brian, Thank you! Answers like this are a great resource for those of us who did not know this already.

I got some Ultra Black silicone gasket maker, and with a popsicle stick smeared it on the same pieces of silicone rescue tape, put one on each side of the cover.
I'm not going to touch it until...

I ripped my Z axis way cover when a part came free of the vise and spun around on a drill bit.
My machine is nearly new and the cover was far from worn out, so I want to attempt to fix the tear....

Line voltage will vary, a 240 volt rated fan will work at 220 or 230 volts.
A 240 volt fan would not last long running on 110-120V.
The fuse should be just a little higher that the rated amperage...

Like popspipes and UMAN say, I would be checking for loose connections and input power voltage.
It could be low voltage on just one leg of your power.

Does it do that with new sharp tools?
