Hi All, I am thinking of purchasing a Tormach PCNC 1100 series 2, 3 axis CNC machining centre, and would appreciate any feed back on this entry level machine, from anyone who has had any experience with it. Best regards Ralph z |

You will not be disappointed with it. They are one serious piece of kit for a home shop but make sure your stand or bench is up to it, these puppies weigh exactly half a ton. Greg Jackson who designed this really did his homework and went to town on the design. Turcite slides, pressure oiling and a good quality control understanding with the factory that makes them. I don't think I have heard any bad press over these machines. JS. |

Nice, hope you never have an electrical failure. Looks like it could cost a bit to get it fixed. Bernd |

Thanks Gents, Its a toss up between the Tormach or a Super X3 mill with a cnc kit from Promica, I'll be using it to cut components for prototype light fittings for our Lighting business and of course ( just a little?) hobby work. The strong US dollar and freight to Australia will also be a factor. Any thoughts on the X3 also welcome. Regards Ralph Z |
