Dec 29, 2018 · Tormach replaced the driver, no charge and I was able to repair the old driver, giving me a spare. I also replaced the cooling fan in the control cabinet and a defective capacitor in the coolant pump motor. On the plus side, Tormach has made considerable improvements in the last seven years.

Feb 16, 2015 · Assume the Tormach has coolant and toolchanger too. I am currently pushing for a Tormach (via edsfund.org grant) for our shared shop, because the donated Haas is too expensive and risky for new people to operate, people who want to learn CNC milling and create their own projects. Arguments I run into constantly:

Jan 28, 2019 · Tormach has a lot of people a heck of a lot smarter than me,and I'll bet the 1st. question they asked the developing department was, "Are we trying to compete with HAAS or are we trying to make the best product at our price point" with the answer to that question they sharpened their pencils and went to work developing the 1100MX. which I think ...

Apr 2, 2020 · Hello Tormach Owners, I have been searching for a post processor to allow me to use Solidworks CAM on my Mach 3 style PCNC 1100.

Jun 2, 2020 · I think you've convinced yourself to go with the Tormach. We have a local dealer for them here in Santa Cruz and I want to get them to fire one up for me when the lockdown lets them open back up. It has about the same working envelope and specs as my project machine, and I know a lot of hobbyists are happy with both the tool and support.
