The longest unboxing we've ever done. - Tormach CNC Mill Commissioning

[@tormachinc]

Yes, we know the mouse is a little different, but it's the only one that survived our coolant exposure tests. That said, welcome to the Tormach family; we can't wait to see what you and your team do with your new 1100MX Mill! Regarding on-site installations, we have rebooted that service offering, but it is currently only available to customers in the US due to COVID travel challenges. However, we do offer pre-assembly services regardless of location, so maybe if you get another machine we can ship it out to you either with accessories pre-installed (ATC, etc.) or even fully assembled, but then Colin would miss out on all the fun of doing it himself. PS - Linus, safety glasses are your friend!

[@CodeJeffo]

Do you plan to have European distributor any time soon? Like by 2025 ? Would love it.

[@AdrianCupHolder]

lol same. I doing aerospace stuff down to +/- half a thou on super old romi lathes and a fadal mill, the tormach they have would’ve made my job much much easier.

[@sasjadevries]

But what kind of aerospace parts and tools are you guys making? Because "aerospace parts" is quite a broad term, from riveting hammers to turbine blades. So I'm kinda curious. ---- One little note: an old machine is not necessarily a bad machine. It's wayyy easier to get your tolerances with an old reputable-branded machine, then on an affordable new machine. (if well maintained) New cast iron has internal stresses, if the factory didn't get rid of them enough, then your bed will warp because of use and vibrations. If your mill is old, then time has gotten rid of the internal stresses, and it will be just as straight as is was during the last overhaul. If your mill is expensive, then they have gotten rid of internal stresses at the factory.

[@Xtorin_Housecat_Ohern]

@@AdrianCupHolder i can guarantee you it wouldn't.... lol... most problematic set of machines i've ever used was a brand new pair of tormachs and it was the reason i left my last job. i play with a Haas Tool Room Mill from the 1990's now and it hasn't given me any grief that i didn't generate myself.

[@TheJBpics]

@@sasjadevries Mostly prototype parts for the engines, gauges used to measure the accuracy of assembly and tooling used in coating processes of turbine blades shanks and many, many more. The fact is, you can make very precise parts on old machines with old tools and so on but sometimes I wished so hard they would buy me a tool that would make my life so much less stressful. A vise that would be actually very precise from the start and not needed to be modified to suit my needs.

[@scottmunch5679]

[@Trank00007]

Tormach’s are great intro level machines. You won’t ever find them in use in real manufacturing lines.They simply aren’t built heavy enough to machine aggressively with. But this is a good thing. The lighter build brings them in at a much lower price point and they really created their own market segment. It’s probably the perfect machine for LMG because long cycle and part times aren’t costing them a lot of money.

@@amahashadow Unfortunately the reason they are that expensive (the tormach) is because the us gov put a 50% tariff on them. They were MUCH more sensibly priced 3-4 years ago.

But isn't Tormach just the best option for the DIY-shop, when you don't produce that much. I mean for simple prototyping and tinkering, this thing has all the features they need. LTT doesn't make money per part, but per video. And sure, if your business model is all about automation and reduced cycle times, then it's worth getting a more expensive machine, because it will pay for itself.
