I'll reply to my own question. I bought a collet and a ER32 collet holder from Tormach to check it out, and it fits perfectly. It also features a small reduction in tool length. Now I just need to figure out the axial force that Tormach recommend for the drawbar, so i can start designing a quick cha...

The probe looks nice, would like to get one of those eventually.

I was mainly thinking of experiences using the Tormach quick change tooling system with an R8 collet and toolholders with suitable cylindrical shank.

Has anyone ever tried using tormach TTS on a Triac with R8 spindle? I am considering it, as it would be very handy with a pneumatic drawbar and would allow a later upgrade to a toolchanger. The tool shank looks qute a bit shorter than the standard BT30 / BT35 tapers with pullstud, which would allow ...

Thanks for the idea, i spent quite a while adjusting the potentiometers and eventually was able to get the main screen looking ok. However, when i use different functions, such as loading a program, the overlap is still an issue. I tried with the screen full of Xes, but i was never able to get a goo...

This is my first post here. I have just bought my first CNC machine, it is a 1990 Triac. The machine has seen little usage and seems to be running well. I am thinking of converting it to Mach3 eventually, but i have a lot to learn about mach and break out boards before i dive into this. I would real...
