Its been a while Promica owners - I hope you are all still here - on the planet as well as on the forum. It's finally happened, my XP computer has decided to quit rendering my mill useless. A but of...

Thanks all for your replies. I have checked the brushes and they seemed fine but the commutator looks a bit ordinary. Its like the machine has a broken wire or similar with stop-start-stop-start...

My X3 has developed very erratic stop/start motion at low motor speed settings and has no power to do any work. Opinions - motor, control board or speed control potentiometer?

Hello again Promicer's (?)

Another disaster has beset me. Whilst preparing to machine something it appears an aluminium chip found its way into my keyboard. I had just inserted a USB stick into...

There is a Tormach agent in Sydney - in Cronulla i think. There name escapes me at the moment . They sell other machines and seem to concentrate more on those than Tormach's. You can deal direct with...

I've had mine about 2 years and from memory paid just over 3k for the kit - I purchased my mill separately. Also from memory, you can request a quote on his site. I suggest you do this as he is good...

I have a Promica'd X3 - excellent workmanship in kit and absolutely stunning after sales service.

I have an X3 fitted with a Promica kit. I could be tempted to part with it for a reasonable offer - Probably done around 30 hours work. Reason for selling - upgrade to a purpose built cnc machine.
