There is a gang tool option so it keeps going between tool changes. To my knowledge this is one of the first but I have seen a couple others set up with gang tooling. I am in the process of setting it up with an auto collet closer, pneumatic parts catcher, and 3ft bar feeder. It’ll be a little workhorse

What's your plan for the collet closer? Looking to grab one of these soon.

I’ve been in contact with Donham here in Iowa and they have something that will work. I’ve also been in touch with Tormach and with an I/O board it’s doable but I’ll have to make a few add on’s in the G and M code.

Hello, did you fabricate the gang tool holder and the t-slot base or are they available for purchase? Thanks

When the machine finishes one operation does is make you hit cycle start again before moving on? You’re the first person I’ve ever seen run gang tooling on this machine and I’m curious how the machine behaves because it thinks you need to “change tools”.

Where did you buy that holder? I would love one for my cnc conversion! If you didnt buy, can you tell me the general specs/makeup of it?

I've seem many videos of Tormach machinist but not one shows, set by step, how to program and set the tooling from start to finish. The university where I work has a new Pro slant lathe and my ability to use it is not as good as it should be even though I've been a machinist for many years. It's frustrating as hell that Tormach does not have online training courses. John Saunders offers classes but who can afford to go to Ohio to take them? Online video training would be the ideal solution but no one, it seems, is doing it. Had I known Tormach does not offer training, I would have told the Univ not to buy the machine. It's very upsetting.

Do you think this machine could peck drill 55 mm deep and rigid tap 10mm

Yes, drilling that hole won’t be an issue. Tapping a hole that size could be a problem with how it’s set up from the factory but with a more ridged setup like with our gang tooling it should be a problem especially if you peck it like in this clip.

I would get rid of the first turning op with the cut off tool and just do the 2 back grooves . I think you could get a heavier cut with your turning tool. Looks pretty good other than that.
