Work Probe

4th Axis The Tormach has an 8" three-jaw chuck, normally mounted as an "A" (along "X") axis. It could also be rotated to be vertical for the "C" axis (along "Z").

Preventative Maintenance

  • Way oiler - pull out one full stroke before each use, and again every 30 minutes of runtime
  • Air oiler - check for oil (behind the machine)

CNC Controller

  • Uses PathPilot (based on LinuxCNC)
  • TODO

Tool Holder

  • TTS - Tormach Tooling System
