Thanks everyone for the RFQ's. I think we have all the quotes we need at this time so I'm going to close this RFQ for now. We have many new products coming out very soon and will create post here...

We need a reliable company to provide the pictured part machined out of 6061-T6 aluminum and type II anodized finished black. The part is approximately 11.5" long x 1.5" tall x 1" wide.

Our...

This is a great tip. Thanks, Matt!

Totally! I love it when it's cutting fast and deep (well, for a Tormach at least) with that sweet-sweet hum!

UPDATE:

Well, you guys were right! My problem was that I had far too much of the end mill sticking out. I moved about half of it in leaving only about 25mm of stickout and it tore through the...

Alright so no replies on this but I FINALLY figured this out myself. Going to post this in case someone else runs into the same issue.

So to reiterate, I wanted to rough the outside of my model...

I'm looking for someone to tutor me on some of the more intermediate to advanced processes for Edgecam. We can do this over Skype (screenshare) so your location is not an issue. I can pay you $50...

I appreciate what you're getting at but I never for a moment thought I could cut like a big VMC can with my little Tormach. I was going by what I've seen Tormach's own video cutting demonstration are...

Hoping some experienced Edgecam users out there can help here (attached is a screencap)... I'm trying to perform a roughing operation of the outside profile of a solid model, which works fine,...

I'm using a 6" Glacern Premium Vice, milling a 1" x 2" x 12" block of aluminum with about 6mm of the base clamped in the jaws (trying to profile as much of one side as possible). The endmill I'm...

Thanks for the extra details! Makes sense. I'll have to find some 2 fluter's and give them a try. I actually won the carbides on Ebay and picked them up for about $10ea, so they were kind of a...

Thanks for the replies and advice. My cutter is a 4-flute, 12mm Carbide Iscar with Tialn coating. I have about a 50mm (2") stickout using a TTS setscrew holder for it. I think I'll try out some of...

I've got the 1100 mill, only about two months old now (I'm also a newbie, btw). Using Gwizard with the Tormach 1100 defined, it estimates with a 12mm Carbide endmill, on the most conservative...

I have a working Post (post processor) for the Tormach using Mach3 for Edgecam. PM me.

New to Edgecam but I've successfully completed several operations. Intermittently, I get this error message when I check mark "select stock" in the roughing dialog box--even though there's obviously...

Thanks, Kelly! I think we're on the right track with this--did not know about the MOVE tab before. Problem is when I do this, it doesn't appear to rotate the tool, just shifts it over over to that...

Hello all,

I'm new to using Edgecam. Can anyone give me tips on how to flip the part in Edgecam; so after milling one side, flip it over to mill the other side without starting a whole new...

Thank you, Mike. Just emailed you.

Big IGG, your mailbox is full. Cannot PM you..

Hi Greg,

I must have been PM'd by at least 20 different people saying they can do this but they obviously had no idea what an 80% lower is. As soon as I provided them with an STL solid (with the...

For the price of this Grizzly, I can pick up a brand new Haas TM1. Haas seems to be top dog in the CNC Mill world.

The company I work for is looking to get our standard 80% AR-15 Lowers milled out of 6061 and 7075 aluminum. Prefer someone in southern California (Lake Elsinore/Temecula area) but not required. We...

Thank you all for your suggestions. I wish I could afford a Haas! A minimill would be awesome...

Hello all,

I'm new here and have been reading around trying to get a sense of what CNC machine I need and would greatly appreciate the advice from the CNC vets here. I'll be running the CNC out of...
