Congratulations and good luck! It took me one day and a half to put all the machine together!

Be prepared with some wood bricks to elevate the stand, so you can have clearance to move the engine hoist!(at least is what I had to do!)

You're gonna love your machine. I know I certainly do. It has done everything so far that I could do on my FADAL or my Haas, it just takes a little longer.

My other machines had 20 horsepower, and if required, I could bury a 3/4 inch end mill 1 1/2 inches deep, but I can stall this machine if I take a big cut with a 5/16 end mill.

It doesn't bother me though, especially since I don't take outside work any more.

I use my machine to make parts for gasoline powered (gas, not nitro) remote control boats and cars. I have been racing boats since the early 70's and I just got into gas in 2002. I got my first RC car about 6 weeks ago.

I used to make boat parts on my other machines as well. Parts I made on those machines that took 8 minutes, now take closer to 30. BUT, this machine didn't cost $75,000 either.

Well did ya get it today? Did ya? Did ya? Did ya?

I didn't have time to get excited and lose sleep over my machine. I ordered it on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 and it got here Thursday, July 14, 2011.

Yip , got it about 10:30 , didn't get any parts started. Had to leave to bid a job, I thought it would take about an hour , took 4.

Anyway, got it all put together, and running

[toothandnail]

Forgot a pic.

[BIG IGG]

[rowbare]

Sweet! What accessories did you get with it? Did you spring for the PDB or will that come later? You can never have too many TTS holders...

YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT.

[toothandnail]

First part , actually the second. Too busy watching/marveling it it working

Tormach 1100 First cut - YouTube

Now just need to make a fixture to hold multiple parts , 8 will fit on the table (4x4) they are just over a inch to long to lay side by side down the length of the table

Any suggestions? We make about 300 of these a month.

Fore End grip for a semi-auto shotgun from Turkey which is loosely based on the AR15 architecture. I recognize some of those other videos from the Brian Enos forum.

Have fun with the machine.
