Re: Is a Tormach capable of making this part in small production qtys?
I would make 2 fixtures that hold 6 parts each. Make them exactly the same and if you do your pargram right, every time your program sees M30 you'll have 6 finished parts.
I'll be happy to help if your programming software won't do it.
I could do make those parts on my 1100 using Mach III, but I don't have the ATC on my machine. The ATC wasn't available when I bought my machine.
I bought my machine for hobby use and something to do in my retirement. I figured for $4,200.00 I could change the tool a whole bunch of times by hand.
As I said above, I am still running Mach III and to date it has never let me down. No run away moves, it has run flawlessly for between 6 ant 7 thousand hours.
You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.
