I am milllng complex surface (polygonal or soline) forms that could take advantage of being turned in the 4th axis while roughing with an adaptive tool path or for finishing. The only continuous...

I find fusion more intuitive than solid works , it is simple to connect aspects of the sketches (fundamental drawings) to the cam potion of the program. I found forth axis indexing to also be very...

I’ve had the 770 for two years and it’s been great with stainless 303, steel, aluminum and hardwoods.very repeatable and it’s nice to have been able to add the 4th axis. It did take me a year+ to...

I have Tormach 770 in my basement with a low ceiling. I was noticing how much of the sound of running the machine at 10000rpm was reflected from the ceiling. I installed roxul “safe and sound” in...

Hi I'm setting up the standard 6" 4th axis for the first time on the 770 series 3.. After adjusting backlash, oiling etc I have it keyed into the middle tslot but the motor is touching the ledge of...

Maybe try zeroing g54,g55,g56 and so on in your first step to test if the offset is somehow related to Mdi confusion with another coordinate system . Or do your entire test with jog shuttle - no...

I've been happy with the 770. One note though on travel... the y travel is actually 7.5" but once you subtract the width of the end mill that needs to go on the outside of the stock, and add some...

I've noticed that at certain feed rates my 770 will buzz much louder. If I change the feed rate up or down by 1% it will resolve this harmonic vibration pattern and the machine will quiet down. I...

I had first thought syncing fusion and pathpilot tool numbers would be a good idea ; this would be a great solution until I realized I didn't have enough tool slots in pathpilot. The drills take up...

I had one situation where the chuck was pulled off of the taper at 10000rpm when it was pulling out of stainless 301 . The chuck spun like a top for a minute or so... I think at that time I read...

I'm drilling very small deep holes using fusion360 and Path Pilot / Tormach 770... My plunge is 4in/m , retract is 1.2in/m.
The retract in-between pecks seems to be way too fast - so I turn down...

I set tolerance to .0004" with fusion and the tormach 770/path pilot and results are great- they seem to solve problems I saw at whatever the default was prior - is there any reason to set it lower?...

I need to add detail to a side wall of a wood part (hard maple) using a 3/16 round lollipop end mill. I've come up with two tool options that will have the needed clearance: A) a 270 degree undercut...

This is all very very helpful! Thanks! I keep looking for the part that is going to justify ordering a 4th axis - I suppose it's possible to do it without it but it might be better to cut it from...

I plan to mill an intricate part )miniature 4" long cello neck) from maple with four operations at 90 degree indexes on my tormach 770.

I'm cutting some fat off all sides and then shaping the...

I've been impressed with tormach customer served over the last year (my first year of having the 770). They have to be patient on the phone, methodical with trouble shooting, very helpful. I've had...

It's nice to have a little more width because you can have a vise mounted on one side and still use the table a bit on the right. The dro is so important because you can return to the same position.....

I have a bf20 and a tormach 770. I installed a dros pro DRO on the bf20 that was about $1200.. I couldn't really get accurate results without it because of the poor handle controls and backlash. I do...

Use the align function. Click first on the center of face in bottom of the box that you'd like to move, then click on the center of the top face of the box that you'd like it to move to... when you...

If you mean the tts r8, it was included in my 770 with the machine only order about a year ago

Thank you all! I solved it! For the record here are some tips and notes.

1. I'm using a mac - so there is one specific slant lathe fusion360 post that was modified by Adam Silver (thank you...

I am planning how I might make 80 miniature chair legs (2" long) with a precise profile out of hard maple. I don't have a lathe, ive been waiting for the project that would justify the 4th axis -but...

I think it seemed that it didn't want to cut; there was more deflection, broken end mill flutes, and I never found a sweet spot for feeds and speeds. The recommended speeds and feeds from gwizard...

I've had very good results with 303 stainless on the tormach 770.. 304 was much more difficult and didn't seem to have advantages for my application in testing the mechanical strength. The key to 303...

Larger number of possible tools in the tool offset list.. I have created hundreds of tools in fusion but path pilot is limited in the number of tools in the offset library so I can't keep the tool...

My spindle radial runout is probably about .0006. I measured this by removing the r8 collet and measuring the inside edge of the spindle.. This doesn't seem to be that far off from what is specified...

I tried marking my spindle's rotation -so when I insert the haimer the spindle is always rotated the same orientation when i zero out a corner. When you lock down the spindle to tighten - there are...

Sorry - I meant If you lock out the spindle it seems to turn off the oiler... The potential problem with this is forgetting to unlock it when you return- from here forward I'll use that door...

Leaving the door open doesn't seem to work for me with the 770, although I shut off the spindle on the switch board and this turns off the oiler. I do wonder though if I should feel rushed to return...

In my first few days I found something unpredictable like this could happen if your g30 was not set (or was set too low) in path pilot...
