Tormach 8L Lathe Overview - An Affordable Workhorse
Do you make solid risers so the machine can be bolted in place?
Please make one with a highspeed spindle for micro machining and ill buy one.
I'm doing a face milling job on 6" wide x 1" thick HR flat bar. Using a 2"shell style cutter, the issue I'm having is steps, .005-.006 deeper or shallower with every pass. I'm only taking a small bite, .010 -.015 dept. What could be my problem? Thanks
Since there could be all sorts of variables, you could ask that question on the Tormach Forums forums.tormach.com or possibly by opening a Support Ticket with one of our Tormach Tech Support staff tormach.com/how-to-submit-a-support-ticket
i’ll get one
background music again?
It's a seven year old video.
@@tormachinc I still wanted to watch it, do you have something newer?
How does PathPilot know which tool number to associate with the gcode file that is loaded?
really great, thanks.
Worth mentioning that your controller has to have 4gb of RAM for the camera to work. It didn't work with 1gb of RAM that my 1100 controller came with until I upgraded.
This guy's spewing the foulest hatred and extreme bigotry on X- is this representative of Tormach's views as well?
I cannot believe I am the first person to say "Thank you" ! For this super helpful demo. That indicator is not cheap but certainly does the job.
You're welcome! A thank you is never too late.
why does the robot arm move so slow?
There was a Keyence proximity sensor at the corner of the table, which wasn't seen, and that slowed the arm down.
So awesome.
Very nice machine well put together. If you guys ever get rid of one, I’ll take it.❤❤
Hmmm, I remember when epoxy granite bases were a new thing in the early 2000's. At that time, it was starting to be used on ultra-precision (really ultra precision) diamond turning machines. I can see no reason to use cast iron now except for cheap low-end machines.
Can i make a table out of this?
That’s the same model you folks were showing at Automate 2024, correct?? Looked really nice, but didn’t know all of the features until seeing this vid. 😎😎👍👍
Yes, it is the same machine. We'll have the 1500MX at IMTS Chicago, on September 9th thru the 14th, at South Hall, Booth 338062. If anyone wants to see it in action again come on by.
And the one thing Tormach failed to consider is evacuation of metalworking fluid mist which here in the UK is a hot health & safety topic for commercial users as the HSE expect this on CNC machining centres. Mind you the UK agent for Tormach are next to useless.
The mist collector for the 1500MX is mentioned just after the 3 minute mark. It will be coming later this year, as well as the chip conveyor and the TSC. In fact, many are coming even sooner than expected.
@flosscap that’s not good enough an excuse to be coming later when your faced with a HSE inspection and a fee for intervention notice at £175 per hour plus VAT. I am sticking with my PCNC770 until something comes along thats considerably better and has better support here in the UK.
@user-lv5ij3zn9w just don't buy an American machine built to American standards. Go buy a European machine that meets your standards out of the box. I swear all people do is complain
@@josephdickman1416 its seems that you are complaining at people complaining😂
Congrats on the amazing job you did, Tom and the gang!
All that caulk and still leaks at their shop videos. Buy a HASS at this price and pain.
Where can I find my pathpiolet key and wifi dongle
The PathPilot key should be included in the shipping box for the operator console. If you didn't receive one make sure to set up a ticket with the Tormach Technical Support Team: tormach.com/how-to-submit-a-support-ticket
Picking up a lightly used PCNC 1100 series 3 next week. Will be learning/using it for my company. Super excited to see this is the way you approach your business. It is something we have always done as well. As long as things go well with this machine I'd guess we will have another in the next few years. super excited to get it going
Hey guys.. I'm looking at the formula shown for the shim at 3:04 and you have (.002 / 10) X 2 = .004 When I calculate that I get 0.0004" Can you list what the variables are here in this example?
👍👍👍
Yeah! Part 2.
Finally. The edit computer bit the dust, which led to a big delay. Hopefully the final effort was worth it.
Is this video incorrectly named? or a duplicate?
When is part 2 coming?
great vid. Where is Part 2??
Part two was delayed because of the unexpected demise of the edit computer. The new computer is now running, and part two should be complete by either the 18th or the 23rd.
I wonder if butyl tape (used in RV assembly) would be a better solution than the messy caulk job...
Our previous mills used butyl and it works, but Sikaflex is better for adhering the enclosure together and to prevent future leaks. Trust us, the mess is worth it.
If you get the entry level machine how do you control it? can i use my laptop or a pc i build?
We sell a PathPilot controller that works with our machines. The xsTECH has an all in one touchscreen monitor/controller.
I have the turret but working great but how do I get that setup
We do have a playlist of Tormach 15L lathe video and there are a couple in here that might help. We will see if we can get a new one created focused specifically on the beginner. czcams.com/video/GX9eRa-h3tY/video.htmlsi=d-U9yWzj9usOdfiG
I'd like to know how to set it up
There is this video that might help out until we make an updated version. czcams.com/video/Xyjg6k-NWaQ/video.html
Thank you inspiring . Can you plug the cnc machine into a basic wall socket of a garage ?
Some of the machines, like the PCNC 440, 770MX and the xsTECH Router, can be plugged into most garage outlets. The 1100MX will need a 230 Vac 50/60Hz, 20A Breaker, and the 1500MX will need a 230 Vac 50/60Hz, 30A Breaker. It's best to check out the specifications to the mill you are interested in, on our mill support page, or consult with our pre-sales team: tormach.com/support/mill
Few tips for touch off, if you have non ferrous mats like plastic and need a good touch off and ya lost your guage set, the plastic on a pack of cigarettes is about as thin and reliable as it gets where tenths matter

What are the improvements of the mx1500 compare to mx1100 in the mechanical meaning
Perfect intro. I'm thinking about moving into CAD/CAM for my blademaking business.
How tall is the pallet? Looks pretty close for a garage door. Or is it much shorter if you take the sides off outside?
Crate Dimensions: Factory Assembled: 68 in. × 74 in. × 89 in. (1.7 m × 1.9 m × 2.3 m) Self Assembled: 54 in. × 58 in. × 89 in.(1.4 m × 1.5 m × 2.3 m) Pallet Weight: Factory Assembled: 3210 lbs. (1456 kg) Self Assembled: 2650 lbs. (1202 kg) The weight of the factory assembled 1500MX can vary according to the accessories and upgrades.
With the crate removed, what is the minimum height you can get the machine down to? I'd be looking at maximum 76" to clear my garage door. Also when will these be available in the uk
@@mapstardamo1624 The maximum height of the machine in Z is 94 inches. To get the machine through the door it would have to stay on the pallet and then that height is 86 inches with a pallet jack, or 83 inches if you push it in with a forklift while it is on the pallet. Here is a document going over the machine footprint: tormach.com/media/asset/5/1/51221-b.pdf
@tormachinc I had seen that document. 83" is still too high even with my trim panel removed as I have 80" max (I only have 82.5" internal ceiling height but can cut a hole in it for z axis) Not looking like it will fit 🙄
Yeah! Unboxing video.
Excellent video! Nice work. It seems like a lot of thought even went into the packaging!
We reiterated the pallet many, many times to get it right. In fact the quality team descended on this machine as well to make more improvements.
Really nice looking machine. Makes me want to sell the 1100MX and get the 1500MX.
They look pretty good side-by-side too. Just saying. But if you have to make sure it goes to a good home.
A very realistic assembly, complete with unapologetic goop smearing. Definitely want to get a 1500MX.
Thanks! We almost cut out the, "'cause you're gonna need them" part because it was a little goofy, but we also really wanted to emphasize the cleanup. What would you do with a 1500MX if you got one?
@@tormachinc I would do it exactly like you did; I would pre-position each part to understand the contact areas to predict the squish, before committing to apply the Sikaflex. But sealing against coolant leaks is imperative, but it will be messy any way you do it. I highly prefer doing it myself, especially if it save some money, and I have no questions if it was done right. The custom shipping pallet is very clever too.
@@BrilliantDesignOnline With this method we just had the tiniest leak at one of the rear chip chutes, and it took less than a minute to fix. We also felt it was important to show what would happen with too much Sikaflex. Our solution worked well and we hope it's easy for all the self-installers out there. We also felt it was important to develop a pallet method that didn't need a sawzall.
Tormach makes great machines at great prices.
We try our best to keep the price as low as possible, while delivering the best machine we can. Our founder would have been very proud of the 1500MX.
@@tormachinc they're so good for intro level job machines, small shops, maker spaces, light manufacturing etc. I learned to CNC program and operate on a 770, loved it. Hope some day I can have enough garage space to have one for myself.
