This is one we built more than 20 years ago and had a use for it again. It is just one of those 9.95 Harbor Freight air grinders with a 1/4" collet. We found a swivel base from somewhere and...

Here are some pictures of a simple shelf to reduce your back strain. The shelf is made of 3/4 " MDO supported by those ubiquitous shelf brackets from Home Depot. The table is placed at its...

We introduced the Turnado lathe this year and response has been very good. Because it is a lathe only machine we have gotten a lot of input and questions about turning in general and threading in...

We have some stepper motors for sale on E-Bay which would be ideal for your DIY CNC project. They are NEMA 34 400 OZ/IN motors with 1/2" dual shafts. Each motor has a 9' cable with the DB 9...

The new Mill Turn machines use gas struts to counter balance the weight of the mill head. This evens out the speeds up and down and gives better rates overall. We have a few kits available for the...

[QUOTE=JTJT;2005954]Here is a short video on the CNC Toolpost which is a standard feature on the Turnado lathe. It is an option on the Mill Turn and also will work on all Patriot VFD units from...

Just an update, we got a shipment in about a month ago and they sold pretty quickly, but there are still a few in stock as of now. The next shipment will arrive around end of May.

One customer brought to our attention a plumbing error in his oiler system. This is most likely an isolated case, but if any customer has a similar problem, we can supply the necessary pre-bent...

We tried all sorts of setting in PID and it seems to do hardly anything.
The 12.8 volts comes off the VFD terminal marked 12V- here is a file on the voltage regulator-

Your torque should still be good at the low rpms, but yes, the heat is a problem because the stock motor fan will not move enough air to cool the motor. There is adjustment on the mill motor, and...

Over the years we have sold a number of different brands of DRO systems. On a combination machine it has always been confusing to read the axes differences between lathe and mill function. None of...

Answers above in the quote line by line.
Your model machine had a larger motor drive pulley for rpm in the 3000 max range, measure the diameter and we may have a smaller one that will fit- to reduce...

What is the machine serial #? What is the Hz reading at 200 rpm? On the inverter, codes P0-014 and 015 should be set to 100. Codes P0-009 and 010 should set set to 1.5

Just an update- got the second fan unit from Gary and he made it 1/2" taller for the 120 volt fan. Installed it on the mill motor and it's a nice clean setup.

Yes, the original owner must have changed the final 2 gears to coarse threads, and that is the ratio problem. In those early machines the dual gear on the leadscrew had a fine tooth gear and the...

OK- I can see it now- you have a very rare early machine which had fine tooth gears in the gearbox and also on the output- The very first gear coming out of the head casting is normally a coarse...

There were a number of customers who modified those early machines with a Forward-Reverse shifter before it became a standard feature. It's possible you have a machine with a DIY gear set that...

A Tormach owner recently posted a thread about how he removed the mechanical cooling fan from his mill motor and replaced it with a 3 D printed housing which utilizes an electric fan for motor...

Nice work- I see you also modified the lathe spindle to a thread-on chuck. 27 years old and still working!

Here is a short video showing the 3 jaw chuck, 4 jaw chuck and 5C collets available on the 2017 Mill Turn and Turnado machines. All three are standard items on the Turnado lathe, while the 5C collet...

This is a short video of our 6" CNC rotary table. Thanks to the stronger dollar and lower international shipping, we have now made this a standard feature on the 2017 MILL TURN machines with no...
