Running 6061 Aluminum On The Tormach 770M CNC Milling Machine

Just a quick view of how I make a living day in and day out running customer parts on my Tormach 770M.

You are absolutely right on using the torque wrench. Consistency is vital. I cannot even begin to tell you about all the times the different apes and cavemen at my job has ruined a production because they either didnt clamp the part hard enough or WAY too hard 🤣

The close up of the chamfer step at the end was sick. Nice video 🤙🏻

Wow that dynamic pocket tool path sounded really nice! Is this a stepper machine? I just picked up a used pcnc1100 series 3 I hope it cuts this nice.

[hammerofluke]

Awesome. I have a Tormach 1100 myself. Trying to find some mill work.

Thank you for the video. Do you think that the extra working area of the 1100mx is not necessary for the jobs you do?

[joshuajindra]

Have you ever noticed a problem with the stepper motors?

[thinkerlife]

Sounds like a drill press cutting sidways! Not a rigid mill at all!

I like this video a lot, well done man!! No fluff or BS, just doing some work. The setup is great, did you ever setup to do 2 or 3 parts at a time in there? Seems like two vises might fit and you could reduce the number of tool changes by half?

[piccilos]

Have you thought about the ATC or building your own?

[patrickbradford]

I would probably change your tool path, about 50% of the time you are cutting air in the hand full of clips I fast forwarded through. Just a thought.

Is the coolant why your paint has worn off of he machine?

[andreymarjevich]

hi in the video you don't use the tool change button, do you use a pedal? and which CAM system is most convenient?
