I want to do some mill turning on my Tormach 1100 S3. I have watched a number of YouTube videos and tried to learn as much as I can before attempting
to Mill Turn a part or two. Has anyone on the forum run their 1100 PCNC for Mill Turning? I am using Fusion 360 and went through their multi chapter tutorial
on regular lathe turning as well.

My main concern is changing the post processor file in Fusion. I have watched NYC CNC's video on this too.

Here is a list of some resources for anyone else considering this operation that I found helpful.

Lucas is busy a YouTuber videos. He discusses changing the Post Processor setting to allow lathe ops.

Dragonwrath Innovations quote from comments on his video:

Very good question, wasn't sure if I had mentioned in videos.
In 360 select the post processor you want to use and click
open config. control - F to 'find' and look for 'xformat'.
There will be a scale: value, it is likely set to 2 in your
case. Set it to 1 and you should be good to go! Thanks for watching

Just saw (I assume) your post on the facebook group. In case you didn't see it there, here's the post I put together for exactly this purpose: https://www.cnczone.com/forums/torma...8-tormach.html

Thanks you for your help! I will take a closer look at this earlier post and see whether it solves my issue. Will report back to the forum. Cismontguy

Was finally able to find the time and run some test Mill Turning on the Tormach 1100 S3. Came out really great in Aluminum. Final parts will be in brass.
Thanks for everyone who helped. Cismontguy.

Hi ! I was following Jason's videos on how to setup a Tormach 440 for millturning, but the second part is nowhere to be found. Actually, if you try to browse his Youtube channel it comes out empty. However, If I follow your link I can see the video for part 1. Do you have a link for the second part of the video? Thanks for your help !
