In today's blog post with our Tormaker Community, we're speaking with hobbyist Brandon Kittredge who uses his PCNC 440 to make combat bots and building kits.

While it sounds simple, transferring files from your CAM software to your Tormach via a flash drive can be more time consuming than you think (not to mention the time you’ll spend walking back to the machine to retrieve the drive you forgot). Let’s walk through setting your Tormach up as a network drive on your PC, allowing G-code output directly to the machine!

In our latest conversation with our Tormaker Community, we caught up with Cesar Rullier who recently purchased the Tormach 1100MX for his specialist reverse engineering company. 

While CNC machines are capable of an awful lot of amazing things, the machine itself is only as capable as its operator and code. That means proper programming and tooling setups are necessary to get the most out of your machine.

For our latest blog series, we wanted to tell real stories from real people. Today, we're in conversation with Paul Bater, one of our Tormach community members who recently purchased a 770MX.

We’ve all experienced CNC router tearout and splintering while cutting wood at some point.

Your CNC Router is sailing along in the cut, the part is just starting to emerge from the stock and it looks awesome.  Suddenly, you hear the noise change a bit and a big chunk is splintered or torn out.
