Tormach PCNC 770 for CNC Mill Beginners and Chain Stopper

- Fear not the Tormach! I am amazed at how easy this CNC Mill is to run. We got the facing and boring done on our bow rollers and chain stoppers with no CAD, and no CAM. Too many times we think something will be difficult when we would be better served to think it will be easy.

I have been watching you for 7 years and have never been bored while doing so bloody amazing .
I've been watching for 4 years and I totally agree. Some famous German dude, once said (roughly translated): "Work is so much fun, I could watch all day"
We all love the way you do the videos to keep it real time ? No more editing the videos ? We love we love the straight shooter ? Keep loving the one you hold👍
Just got my "What did you build today" shirt, WOW great quality, thank you!
Great idea at 15:42 Excellent idea of warming an old knife with a propane torch and cutting nylon rope with it. Like butter!
good to see the tormach run outside of fusion! thank you
Excellent work Doug. I like the DIY casting you've done. Its so hot down there, you just leave your metal out in the sun and presto, a casting.
That tormach will be a wizard out on the sea. When the researchers come aboard, they need to bring stock for the mill to keep it fed!!!
Hi Greg! We will have set a new standard when we salvage a piece of brass off a wreck and machine it into a part we need. :)
YES!!! 1800's material up-cycled into 2020 parts!
I don't know what I like seeing more, people's projects or their work shops. Either way I'm really enjoying it!
the only frustration i have is some of those projects just look damned fascinating, and I want to know more about it!!!
Everything you said around 5:00.... Why does no one else say these things?! Great video
Two things:
1) Cold rolled sheet goods are amazing on the plasma table. nearly no dross, can run faster. Hard to get in over 14ga thickness though.
2) @14:53, you need an impact wrench. I use the DeWalt DCF883 which is 3/8" but the DCF880 is 1/2". Those are the smaller of the three sizes they over so I don't blow threads out. I also have the big 1/2 DCF889, which will break just about any bolt under 3/4" if you let it. All 20v, no complaints from me on reliability, they're just like the impact drivers.
Cool to know. Thanks Richard.
You guys are into a lot of stuff. Pretty cool. I will have this Tormach 770 in my garage soon.
Congrats on the first fluids in!
cool stuff good info stay kool looks like a nice cool down this weekend
you really should add some "triangle" reinforcements to the chain stop. I can see that weld getting snapped.
Hardly. There is 5 times the amount of steel in that stop than is in the cross-section of the chain. But it's always safe to safe "you should build it stronger" :)
9:58 Gezabelle being driven like a queen hehehe
Miss Daisy always loves a ride.
If you are trying to find when a rotating, cutting tool hits the work face, put a bit of chalk, or engineers marking blue on the face. Because of the change in contrast as the bit hits the chalk or blue you can easily see when the contact is made.
So much Jezebel. Love it.
You may notice that sometimes cold rolled can move. For example if you turn the OD of a piece to exactly what you want then drill a hole in it the OD may change slightly.
looking forward to new ones now am caught up
Doug, I see what you are doing now, I got the impression the other post that the glycol was to clear up water in the diesel tanks,
Shouldha paid more attention sorry.
Did I see some handcuff bracelets hanging from Bart's trailer ceiling at 00:30? If so, atta Boy BART...nobody rides for FREE!
If you're going to have many more big holes to do, like that bow-roller, look into getting a BORING HEAD. If you can get a good price, it's a faster and more precise way to make a nice round hole; may be the right thing if you have something fussier to do than the rollers.
Have a quick gander at a video of one doing its thing and see what you think. You can never have too many tools!
Way too funny. Queen Jezebel touring in her pumpkin coach.
little cutting oil went cutting threads with tap help out about 100%
Yes it does
When tapping threads use plenty of oil and back off often.
another great video good stuff
the display cable to your laptop might just be broken.
Had that too and got lucky buying it for 3 bucks brand new on craigslist (still works 2 years later)
they usually cost 15 bucks or something. Might be worth a shot.
I would look into servers with redundant components (power sypplies, etc.) at the very least instead of any PC. SSDs instead of spinning hard disks would be less prone to failure. And/or setting them up in a small RAID.
Those are nice, but it's not like we need a hot spare, or the price that comes with that.
Doug and his Dog!! too funny
Save your files for the parts on the Tormach mill to a pair of external drives at all times. That way you will not loose data if the machine crashes.
WHAT DID U MAKE TODAY? :: It is a GREAT addition to the social aspect of the SV_Seeker project. Just the images are interesting, inspiring and hopeful. Just the slideshow of pictures make the world a better place. . . . . . . . But =>> Maybe =>>> someone somewhere has the vision and energy to pour on top a simple great thing and raise it up to a more complicated FANTASTIC thing . . . .=> A way to allow connections with the projects behind the images between makers that would be interested in sharing and watchers that want to connect. . . . . ? ( No job is to hard for the person that doesn't' have to do it : )
I would have used s honing tool for engine's to remove eaugh to smooth the inside of the brass peace
Hell yes
Have you ever considered spraying waterproofing on your computer boards to protect them from ocean humidity?
Yup, like quickies.
If your sheet is in the wrong place....are you short sheeted?
Or is this question just full of sheet?
Hi, I have been watching your channel for a while now and think it's great, could you please tell me where you get that bit of music you play at the start of your videos. it is great. Cheers
It's free stuff from CZcams's Creator Section. That one is Hooky with Sloane by Bird Creek
Many thanks.
the problem with the pc is the ram, sometimes the ram slots make a problem even with a slight entrance 1/100th of an inch. he should have tried plugging the VGA or the HDMI port in to an external screen to see if its a graphics card problem. Some manufacturers still use the old heat problematic AMD graphics card.
Nothing wrong with that. I have used similar methods to find center.
Off Topic, but I'm wondering if we could get an update on Aiden? Great kid! Do you ever see him?
Maybe when he is old enough to escape his parents.
Thanks for your reply, Doug. He's an awesome kid... I so much enjoyed his "contributions" to the project. My grandkids are almost grown... I miss their "wonder" years. I'm looking forward to seeing your vessel come by my city (Memphis). Best wishes to you !
curious as to what the music is playing in the beginning
10:00 Typical backseat driver! ;)
She loves her car.
Thanks for the great videos. I wish I had a Tormach to play with. :)
Question: Why not just use a laptop and keep an extra (or two) as backups instead of the bulk/weight of a desktop & monitor (x2)?
Just curious...Mike
There is a PCI interface card. And we have a 40 ton boat. Weight is not that tight. :)
I miss Paul. What happened to your lovely comrade? got he hurt, wenn he fell of the cabin ?
:) That was Jack. And Jack has a job that is keeping him busy.
if you do a lot of toolchanges on the tormac it might be nice to have a small airwrench system to use on the drawbar
theres actally a setup that mounts a butterfly airtool permanently on top of the mill that you can push down ontoo the nut and push to the side to loosen or fasten
czcams.com/video/4oL-XcKPiKg/video.html
nice thing about it that you can regulate the airpressure to prevent overtightning the drawbar
think the diesel in the keels whont do a lot of good with water as diesel oil floats on top of water unless the oily stuff realy sticks to the steel , maibe you need to put in some rust inhibitor / stuff that changes rust intoo a black sheen
I hope Jezebel doesn't suffer from seasickness.
Doug Any reason why you didn't use the lathe to bore out the roller?
Regards,
Eric
With a Tormach CNC Mill sitting there? Yes. A) Pain in the ass to mount a 50 pound part on it's side so that it can spin. B) No DRO. C) No CNC I love that lathe but that CNC Mill is 10 times easier, which means better accuracy and speed for a novice like me.
Doug OK thanks all great reasons! Really enjoy watching you getting it done!
Eric
Why don't you get you a nice indicator to help with sweeping a hole in
Tommy Morales Yep. Spindle mount indicator will get you there. Doug is holding a parallel against the bore, and comparing that to the vertical cutting tool. I respect Dougs opinion on what works, so am happy with that.
Have you purchased a coffee mug yet?
why red sails Doug?
Why not?
Because they make me happy.
if ya need 40 gig ide 7200 drives let me know and what the board ram maxes out at and what type of ram lol i probably can upgrade ya a bit
on the tormok
No thanks. It's task in life is simple. I just want a backup unit.
sad to hear it i figure its less than 4h start to finidh and all out of the scrap pile nothing hard just dont have the tools
if anyone else has an interest its 3/16 plate imto a box basically and some holes and some thrust beings and ratchet adapting a Greek design to modern materials and miniaturizing so it will require welding milling or a plasmacam type system design is flexible to equipment tolerances are large i would need an estimate including shipping before in order to budget cost .. its kinda whu i would like you to do it doug as i can justify the cost and the sacrifices it represents for me against providing income for seeker where i cant as a patroon or tshirt .i truly like and wish to support seeker in some manner but am unable to with the options as is ;[ . regardless thanks doug for being you had having the balls to do as you are and for betsy and bart and in fact for everyone else i get to meet and learn from video after video .. keep posting i for one will keep watching
If you want to see some setting up of parts in the mill
Stefan Gotteswinter shows a good few examples in his projects

Doug, Don't drive on the grass in the park, there is a city ordinance you know.
Shhhhhhh! Don't let them know. :)
Are you a friggen million air?
Nope. But I work hard, get paid well for it, and spend it on the boat. Money is the most widely used excuse people use for not doing something, and also the worst excuse. There is plenty of money in the world. There are just too few people willing to do the work to earn it.
dog shot 10:00
doug i subscribe to the school of thought where someone like me would actually like and prefer to learn tormok from someone like you who is currently learning through need and discovering the things that will make life easier for someone like me any project that i could have would not require degrees of precision the other creators strive for as a minimum in my case good enough is good enough would love to discuss the possibility of commissioning you to fabricate a device for me
Good enough should be my middle name. ...but no time for other jobs right now. ...I got this boat I am working on. :)
