    1100MX lock spindle to use an air spindle?

    Coming from a Fadal to the 1100MX do to size limitations. I cut extremely small parts that require to use air turbine spindles. On the Fadal I used the M19 code which would orient and lock the spindle but this isn’t an option on the Tormach. Any ideas on a work around?

    Thank you

    Do you plan to attach your air spindle to the actual Tormach spindle (the rotating part) or the spindle housing? If to the actual spindle, what do you see as the advantage of mounting things that way? I attached my high speed spindle to the 3-3/8 inch diameter Tormach spindle housing.
