I just saw this. I'm in NE and in the shop have a 770, 1100, and soon to be lathe. You're welcome to swing by and take a look :)

Yeah sure, come on by. PM me and I'll send you the address.

I'm over in NE Minneapolis, and have a 1100 and 770 in the shop. You're welcome to come by.

I use a 3/4" wrench to loosen the bolt that holds the motor, then swing it forward. Stick the wrench in there and move the belt up/down. Once it sorta bites, push the motor back with the right hand,...

I visited the Tormach HQ last week. The place is packed with new people. Every available area is now cubicles and offices. They are super busy.

As for the Rapidturn, I was told that all the new...

I was told that they are outsourcing shipping to a 3rd party fulfillment service.

Unlike you guys, they messed up in the other direction with me. They shipped me my order twice :/

I have been looking for it as well. If you find it let me know. The IO kit works great on the 1100 with pathpilot. I still want to try it on the 770 with mach3. Got it running pneumatic cylinders.

The Twin Cities Tormach User Group (Twin Cities Tormach User Group - TCTUG) is a group primarily in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota, who have gotten together to trade...

Yeah, they also broke it so that it no longer works on Macs running 10.9

I have an aluminum standoff part I need made. I do not own a lathe, so I would rather farm it out to someone who knows what they are doing.

It is 1" bar stock,...

Use wd40, it has helped a lot for when I get chip weld. It lubricates the tools and stops the aluminum from sticking to the tool.

Is my go-to place for tooling and stuff.

I really hate the power drawbar on the 770. It has been **** and nothing but trouble. I've broken hundreds of dollars of carbide because of it.

All the gcode and programs I write in Sprut7 simply...

I need a few adapters made. It's for attaching a 3/8" power drill to a 1/2" drive shaft on a tool.

I need 50 pieces made (+-10). See pdf for details.

I'll give it a try, but there is a bit of variation in the inner diameter from part to part. Also there are a bunch of different diameters to deal with, it's not just one size.

The entire fixture sits flat on the mill table and is held down with...

Anyway to program it to put out more power at low rpms?

Couple things to note, this is the smallest diameter cutter that is usable for what I am doing.
I plugged in all that tooltable data into Gwizard and am using those F&S

Yes, I made sure pointed...

What kind of pulley does the 770 use, do you know? Where can I get other sizes?



I'm slitting them lengthwise. I can give it a shot, but I'm not sure how well trochoidal milling will work out.

Well, I already have the blades, so this is what I'm using. I'm not buying anything else right now.

Sure could, but I am not taking the machine apart for one...

I need to use a 140 tooth, 1.5" OD, .078" slitting saw to cut a whole bunch of thin wall (0.05-0.08") stainless and titanium. Ideal calculated rpm is 120 or so, and feed of 4.5ipm. So far I've tried...

Use WD40 on the cut instead of coolant. It lubricates the blade so the chips don't stick to it.

This was happening to me too. You need to use lots of WD40 on the cut. Coolant wont work.

Ask them to use a medium Priority mail flat rate box. Holds up to 20lbs, only costs around $60 to ship it worldwide.

This happened to me a few weeks ago. The only thing I did was to replace the RAM sticks with new ones from Microcenter. It fixed it. No more random shutdowns.
