Just curious if anyone else received a DNM400 or DNM500 and if they're making chips yet. Any more feedback on these?

Just wondering if there's any more feedback on the DNM400, anyone making chips?

Thanks

Is the machine installed and running, how is it so far?
Happy with the purchase?

I've been looking for quite a while hoping to find a cnc lathe I could fit in my basement. With a 5c nose. There's not really anything that fits thru a 32" door but that is still a "production"...

Most of the problem was when it got into micrometers and dial indicators, but a few drops of alcohol cleaned it out. On manual lathes it would sometimes make the tailstock stick. If you wipe down...

Out of the types of coolants I've used so far the Doall 944 worked pretty nice. It does have a different smell and it is very sticky when it evaporates on metal surfaces. But it stayed good for a...

thanks, I'll be downloading that tomorow.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I've started downloading some demos. As soon as I finish catching up on my work I'll try to give them all a fair try. It may be 2 months before I see the machine,...

I use Jokisch tapping oil at work. It's pretty good stuff. Just smells pretty bad when it starts to smoke. I wonder how their coolant is, most be pretty good though.

I'll probably try some...

Hi,

Since I'm totaly new to this cad/cam design I'd like some of your input on this. I planning to get a Tormach in perhaps 2 months. So its time I start looking at what I need to make it do what...

I just saw the pictures. It looks good. Was it worth the work to build your own stand? also, did you set it up to run coolant?

It won't open at all for me.

Hi,

Just wondering what software you guys are using to run your Tormach?
I don't have one yet but I'm starting to look at the software options. I'm new to cnc but I've been doing manual machining...

Hi,


I'm still looking at buying the Tormach. I'll probably finaly make the big step in a few days. I'd just like to see what other members have made with theirs so far. There hasn't been a lot...

What are you guys using for program to run the Tormach?. If I understand properly the machine actualy comes with a program you can instal in your own computer to make it run without having to by any...

Hi,

Just wondering if any of you have any feedbacks on the Dynamechtronics DM1007. From looking at their website it seems fairly capable for a small VMC. 6 ATC, 200ipm rapids, 8000rpm, 550kgs....

I can't wait to get some feedback on the Tormach. I'd like to buy one but until I get some feedback I'll wait.

Is your Tormach running now ?

I'm still waiting on some real feedback on this machine.

A place I worked at had some trouble with the SL20. Brand new machine. A few inches from the chuck the turret jumps about .001" which leaves a line. Also when they got it, it took a while to figure...

I have a Thermal Arc gtsw 185. Very nice machine. Good price. I looked at the miller and lincolns and the prices were just crazy. For more amperage they have the Thermal arc 300. Quite a jump in...

Seems like all you need is a basic manual lathe and a mill/drill. Tooling cost does add up pretty fast but with 15K you should be able to set up a half decent little shop. Depends on how good of a...

Hi Neil,

Do you plan to convert the RF45 to CNC or will you keep it manual?

If you do turn it into a cnc machine do you plan to buy the cnc kit from IH or will you just shop for all the parts...

Hi,

I think this is my first post here. I need to know what the ultimate benchtop cnc mill is. I am limited in size because it has to make it down into my basement but when the time comes I want...
