Tormach PCNC440 CNC
Our Tormach PCNC440 CNC milling machine. It has a 10,000 RPM R8 Spindle with a 10” x 6.25” x 10” Work Envelope. This is a true commercial machine, and a great way for students to get real world experience on a CNC mill. We now have the Arc4 Rotary attachment for the 440. This allows us to introduce a 4th axis and machine round stock.
You can supply a 2d drawing file to have an object machined. File information is on the link below.
This is a step by step how-to manual on creating your file to hand over to the Makerspace Tech for machining. Your file can be a profile created in a 2D drawing program, or a 3D file created in many different 3D creation programs.
