It's a seven year old video.

@@tormachinc I still wanted to watch it, do you have something newer?

You're welcome! A thank you is never too late.

There was a Keyence proximity sensor at the corner of the table, which wasn't seen, and that slowed the arm down.

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.

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😂

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

Finally. The edit computer bit the dust, which led to a big delay. Hopefully the final effort was worth it.

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.

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.

We sell a PathPilot controller that works with our machines. The xsTECH has an all in one touchscreen monitor/controller.

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

There is this video that might help out until we make an updated version. czcams.com/video/Xyjg6k-NWaQ/video.html

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

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 🙄

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.

They look pretty good side-by-side too. Just saying. But if you have to make sure it goes to a good home.

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.

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.
