Yes, we know the mouse is a little different, but it's the only one that survived our coolant exposure tests. That said, welcome to the Tormach family; we can't wait to see what you and your team do with your new 1100MX Mill! Regarding on-site installations, we have rebooted that service offering, but it is currently only available to customers in the US due to COVID travel challenges. However, we do offer pre-assembly services regardless of location, so maybe if you get another machine we can ship it out to you either with accessories pre-installed (ATC, etc.) or even fully assembled, but then Colin would miss out on all the fun of doing it himself. PS - Linus, safety glasses are your friend!
You guys do know that this man wear sock with his sandals so safety with Linus in a warehouse full of machinery is about like telling a kid to stop jumping on the bed.
I've never expected you had a company profile. I've never either had experiences with your machines, but I see that all of your machines are really well made, so, love you. Oh, yea, and have a great day.
Ah! Never EVER slide your hands across milled aluminum. The edges are SUPER sharp! On the plus side, this will make heat sinks much better than a hacksaw can :)
Yeah. I pulled on a piece of aluminum shaving once without gloves. Super lucky all I got was a minor cut, it was basically razor wire. I've learned to be much more careful.
How I imagine this amazing video came to be. Linus at the weekly meeting: "So who has some good idea for new videos?" Colin: "Well we could buy a Tormach 1100MX for 35-40k$ and set it up ourself *sparkly eyes* .. we absolutly need it! " - day 2 after video live with over 800k views Linus: " Well worth it."*continues to play with pure gold controller*
I think a normal install with concrete anchors, three phase wired in from transformer, cooling system, and networking with a mezzanine from pallet is a week including test pieces. If Linus is so excited you could have him do field service for the Northwest on your CNC machines.
As a career CNC Machinist, i love seeing people checking one out for the first time. Hope you guys have a lot of fun, and make some cool stuff. With that 4th axis, your possibilities are endless!
Yeah, i told myself the same. With his reach, i hope some more kid will be a little interested in being a machinist. So much to learn and specialize in !
Haven't heard about that brand, but it looks amazing, specially since all the CNC machines I know from school and a few jobs I was in are so old that some still have floppy drives and the newer ones were running Windows XP on 2012.
im currently studying to be a cnc machinist, my line of work at school also contains welding. and electronics, im more interested being an cnc machinist doe..
It's also bare minimum for a "production" machine. They are fantastic for the price but check out prices on HAAS. I bought near enough to this mil to go alongside my Bridgeport without the 4 axis for my home shop and couldn't be happier but if you want half a thou tolerances and high speed milling you gotta drop big boy bank
@@mannyfreeze8821 oh man. But that one is a little different - it's working area is much bigger in the X and Y direction, but it's less versatile in the Z axis. Also, there's no 4th axis. And it's German. That alone makes it 2x as expensive😂
At the risk of being "that guy", kudos for what looked like steel toed shoes when operating the forklift. However, be sure to wear eye protection (goggles - thanks @DETERNET) when using compressed air to blow off, well...anything. The trip to the ER to get the little metal shaving out is never fun (nor is the workers comp claim!). Other than that, awesome vid. Love the channel.

lol same. I doing aerospace stuff down to +/- half a thou on super old romi lathes and a fadal mill, the tormach they have would’ve made my job much much easier.
But what kind of aerospace parts and tools are you guys making? Because "aerospace parts" is quite a broad term, from riveting hammers to turbine blades. So I'm kinda curious. ---- One little note: an old machine is not necessarily a bad machine. It's wayyy easier to get your tolerances with an old reputable-branded machine, then on an affordable new machine. (if well maintained) New cast iron has internal stresses, if the factory didn't get rid of them enough, then your bed will warp because of use and vibrations. If your mill is old, then time has gotten rid of the internal stresses, and it will be just as straight as is was during the last overhaul. If your mill is expensive, then they have gotten rid of internal stresses at the factory.
@@AdrianCupHolder i can guarantee you it wouldn't.... lol... most problematic set of machines i've ever used was a brand new pair of tormachs and it was the reason i left my last job. i play with a Haas Tool Room Mill from the 1990's now and it hasn't given me any grief that i didn't generate myself.
@@sasjadevries Mostly prototype parts for the engines, gauges used to measure the accuracy of assembly and tooling used in coating processes of turbine blades shanks and many, many more. The fact is, you can make very precise parts on old machines with old tools and so on but sometimes I wished so hard they would buy me a tool that would make my life so much less stressful. A vise that would be actually very precise from the start and not needed to be modified to suit my needs.
That's not a professional machine though, Tormach's really are just glorified toys. They are okay for your garage but you could never compete against someone with an actual professional machine that's a few years old and only costs a few thousand more.
Pricepoint is out to lunch on them. Honestly they're not as capable or rigid as 20 year old 6030s in our area. One of Linus' neighbours is selling two Mazak 6030s from 2000 for $15000 each. Brand new VF2/VF3s from HAAS are similarly priced and financed.
@@joshmdmd I'm guessing that tormach was $40k indexer, work holding, tool holders inclusive. A $15k vf2 probably has clapped out angular contact bearings, was running on 20 year old coolant and has a fubar tslot table with gouges
@@jacobleeson4763 i'm pretty sure most machinist would say, there's no point where more tool is bad anyway, they now have toys to play with, i'd imagine it'd be engineering heaven for collin n friends
luckily CNC like the Tormach they bought can make anything they need if they learn how to do it. I used to think of cnc as basically plug and play but there are a lot of things you need to know and do to achieve proper tolerances and good finishes at a reasonable sum.
@@Xlaxsauce I have a strong feeling they won't fully learn how to use it. It's LTT after all, king of just scratching the surface haha. But they sure are nice machines
As an experienced CNC machinists, I was going back and forth between cringing and laughing as Linus giddily explained a high school level understanding of a basic CNC machine to his audience. I do like how Tormach simplified the working guts of their machine. A comparable mill from 40 years ago would have taken up an equivalent space of two server towers.
The one thing that I think Tormach has over some of the smaller CNC machines is its ease of use. I'm no machinist, but a enthusiast for the machining industry and comparing cost to usability, Tormach has made it easy for anyone to get into machining at a hobby level.
@@Tinoco1x lmao it's so clearly much more than just reading a teleprompter. You could tell he knew exactly what he was talking about and was demonstrating it. Go back and watch the video again and If you seriously think he just read the script you're not very bright.
When he talked about his dream moment in when they finished the home theatre, that made me tear up a bit. I am not a fan of youtube creators and stars that have all the best stuff and fanciest equipment, be we literally watched Linus come from small potatoes to where he is now and he damn well deserves everything that is coming back to him, and his team. I'm really proud of this guy.
when the sponsor was announced in the beginning, instead of using my right arrow key to skip forward I used the left one, jumping back to the start, and didn't realised it until watching the ad once again. I took back in time to literally
Linus: this is so user friendly Me who learned on a 90s kitamura that was salvaged from a fire with an ancient Fanuc control with the keypad worn off: kids these days have it so easy.
Mood. Been near old stuff like that a time or two. Know of one where I work now where everything is in German panels and all. But it looks brand frigging new since the Germans rebuilt it before it came to us.
that a cute little machine. machinist here. the first mill I ever worked on was a MORI SEIKI MH-633 twin table horizontal 50 taper with full table 4th. and 1k psi threw spindle coolant. that machine is the size of a small house. also im glad to see you guys buy a Saunders Machine Works fixture plate.
When I saw that spot I was like: Id actually rather watch a Raid Shadow Legends ad then having to pry that dumb ass image from my brains memory. Like jsut fucking WHY!
When I was doing engineering making CNC stuff was always super fun. Metal solves so many problem if you know how to work it. The down side. It’s a expensive hobby. I’ve been wanting to buy a 30k one for my shop but I don’t have the time right now since I only engineer part time and it’s remote. The fun machining starts once you get into 5 axis machines you could bore out a engine block from a solid piece of aluminum block if you wanted. :)
Great review here in the USA we just bought one for our HS classroom. We teach our Engineering students how to use 3D printers, Laser Engravers, Milling Machines and many other useful pieces of equipment. However the one thing we can not do is have our kids build computers because their is no warranty... crazy the way education works.
@@gamesofcontent Exactly - detailed engraving is time consuming, and Machining time is expensive. It's between to create a photo resist mask and electrochemically etch the tumblers.😎👍
I used to work for a company that was throwing out money in buckets, because they categorically refused to get machines for prototyping. Happy to see time and time again, that Linus knows how these investments (and/or sponsorships) MAKE you money.
Videos like this always remind me people aren't around equipment like this every day. Talking about encoders, VFDs, and industrial equipment as a whole. Glad to see people excited about it!
Linus WHS, put clear safety glasses on when working on anything, the floor painted for "you" to tell people not to cross this line without safety boots, and hi viz stick on shirts.
LTT showing more competency and ability to use a CNC whereas I've worked in several places who don't even know what basic max tool weights are. Christ alive.
@@jivewig my sentiments exactly. This will likely be the only time lienus touches this machine. Unless it for another video clip, for a moment of a second, Alex and crew on the other hand will be using the hell out of it. You can see this in action, on the pyramid build episodes. Lienus comes in for the intro/outro and Alex did the entire builds work, save for lienus holding a bracket while alex welded it (that could have been done by a magnet) lol.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 lmao, finally no more manual threading for custom water blocks 😂. Oh and heat kills magnets btw, permanently. So probably you shouldn’t use them for welding.
@@jivewig Should have stopped with the first part of your comment. We use magnets all the time in welding. Whether it's for grounding or for materials placement. If using them properly, heat death is not a problem.
Yeah! My father is a VMC programmer and operator for 21 years and whenever I look him starting machine, it just looks like he's preparing a fighter jet for sorties!
This mostly refers to how we had to halt assembling the machine because we found out we were missing an entire pallet worth of accessories like the PC console, toolchanger, etc. It was sitting on a shipping dock in Washington state, was found and then once we got it we could finish the assembly. -CW
Watching this dude try to explain how to use a vmc while holding a cat49 like that ...then getting excited over a standard umbrella style tool holder .... guess a probe and ats will blow his mind
As a machinist I really enjoy this content and I'm really glad Linus hired someone that knows what they are doing unlike when Luke used to do most of the shop stuff. lol
@@spudglynz I was speaking more in reference to the fact he doesn’t understand proper feeds and speeds when it came to milling stuff on the CNC router. There are pretty good guidelines to go by for spindle and feed speeds rather than just saying “sure that should be good” and rolling with it.
@@troygamblin929 The problem with everyone at LTT, is for some reason, instead of taking time to research shit, they just wing it. Even though they live on RUclips. Every time I try to learn something new, I watch at least a few hours worth of YT videos and do webpage research as well.
i dont even understand anything but im literally just in awe as to realize the sheer scale of the LMG at this time to have such a big and expensive equipment. their company is big BIG huh
That equipment doesn't really say a lot about how big LMG is. Sure, 40 grand sounds a lot, but that's a lot less than basically any single one of their employees cost them per year.
@@thedomham2831 now that you mention that, im not exactly aware how many employees they have now. but i guess they really are big big bIG. its just such a wild thing for me considering where they started on this platform
With this machine, they can do heatsinks, toolless screws, custom IHS, custom case parts, display stands, camera/light jigs, etc, etc.. Basically something that can cut metal very precisely.
Amazing content, love the different side of LTT diving into cnc and fabrication. Now I have a ThisOldTony itch I need to deal with. Nice savage industries apron you have there btw, its fun seeing all of the channels I watch start meshing together
@@Locutus494 for a proper one from Siemens or dmg mori you pay around a hundred grand. And you can usually "spec it up" to around two hundred grand. As someone who works for a big german car manufacturer and has work with those. I can tell you that what they got is not very advanced and user friendly. The Siemens system is way better and easier to work with.
Tormach’s are great intro level machines. You won’t ever find them in use in real manufacturing lines.They simply aren’t built heavy enough to machine aggressively with. But this is a good thing. The lighter build brings them in at a much lower price point and they really created their own market segment. It’s probably the perfect machine for LMG because long cycle and part times aren’t costing them a lot of money.
That really does mean we need to see the Linus Team in the kitchen!! A charity bake-off though what they give away would be completed builds but yea be a lot of fun watching them go full LMG COOK OFF.
This is awesome I've been running CNC machines since I was 18 now I run and an 8 axis dual tooling machine and I was trained in CAD. CNC is a great career and more people should have the opportunity to learn this trade.
@@BlueBoy0 Tormach is specifically built and marketed to the entry level buyers, be it garage CNC setups, education, etc. If you start looking into HAAS or Mazak mills you start climbing in price real quick
Be sure to show us all the tool carnage during the learning curve. :) Glad to see you got a Kurt vise for your set-up. The CNC rep set you guy up pretty well overall. That was a nice chunk of change.
We had alot of these at my old internship, they were even bigger, the biggest was 3x bigger than this i'd say and costs half a milion bucks, they were really cool and alot of fun to work with. You only forgot to mention the most important tool, the measuring tool. You need to set a zero point for all your axes before you start so the machine knows where to start and measure from.
14:05 Linus, please always wear wrap-around eye protection when using compressed air to blow chips away. It's so easy to forget about or get complacent, but having a metal chip or coolant in the eyes was the most common injury when I was a CNC Operator. I've had this happen to me, and so did every coworker. This is why an eyewash station is a critical investment when looking to safely operate a CNC machine without petty hospital visits. Even safety glasses with face shields don't offer perfect protection, so the need to use an eyewash station will likely only be a matter of time.
after watching rob dahm practically trial and error his way through his CNC machine all the way to practically making rotary engines, this video hardly tickles the pickle

If your mill is old, then time has gotten rid of the internal stresses, and it will be just as straight as is was during the last overhaul. If your mill is expensive, then they have gotten rid of internal stresses at the factory.
@@AdrianCupHolder i can guarantee you it wouldn't.... lol... most problematic set of machines i've ever used was a brand new pair of tormachs and it was the reason i left my last job.

@@sasjadevries Mostly prototype parts for the engines, gauges used to measure the accuracy of assembly and tooling used in coating processes of turbine blades shanks and many, many more.
The fact is, you can make very precise parts on old machines with old tools and so on but sometimes I wished so hard they would buy me a tool that would make my life so much less stressful. A vise that would be actually very precise from the start and not needed to be modified to suit my needs.

And holy crap there's a lot of AvE references!
$40k actually sounds reasonable for a professional machine. It’s a lot of money but even a lay person like myself can see the value.
That's not a professional machine though, Tormach's really are just glorified toys. They are okay for your garage but you could never compete against someone with an actual professional machine that's a few years old and only costs a few thousand more.
Pricepoint is out to lunch on them. Honestly they're not as capable or rigid as 20 year old 6030s in our area. One of Linus' neighbours is selling two Mazak 6030s from 2000 for $15000 each. Brand new VF2/VF3s from HAAS are similarly priced and financed.
LOL professional machine ??
@@joshmdmd I'm guessing that tormach was $40k indexer, work holding, tool holders inclusive. A $15k vf2 probably has clapped out angular contact bearings, was running on 20 year old coolant and has a fubar tslot table with gouges

As an experienced CNC machinists, I was going back and forth between cringing and laughing as Linus giddily explained a high school level understanding of a basic CNC machine to his audience. I do like how Tormach simplified the working guts of their machine. A comparable mill from 40 years ago would have taken up an equivalent space of two server towers.
The one thing that I think Tormach has over some of the smaller CNC machines is its ease of use. I'm no machinist, but a enthusiast for the machining industry and comparing cost to usability, Tormach has made it easy for anyone to get into machining at a hobby level.
Would be awesome to see them do a blooper reel but then I guess they would have to triple the size of the server.
There's floatplane for that
They already keep all their footage for every video, so the only extra storage it would use would be the final edited video that goes onto youtube
Linus: "I have no idea how this thing works."
Linus 60 seconds later: "okay let me run you through every nut and bolt this thing has"
This confirms, that we live in the Matrix and that Linus has admin rights.
He read the script
@@Tinoco1x lmao it's so clearly much more than just reading a teleprompter. You could tell he knew exactly what he was talking about and was demonstrating it. Go back and watch the video again and If you seriously think he just read the script you're not very bright.

So proud of this man, how far he has come over the past decade. Inspiration for many. Been watching LTT since the GTX 970 Review.
When he talked about his dream moment in when they finished the home theatre, that made me tear up a bit.

When I was doing engineering making CNC stuff was always super fun. Metal solves so many problem if you know how to work it. The down side. It’s a expensive hobby. I’ve been wanting to buy a 30k one for my shop but I don’t have the time right now since I only engineer part time and it’s remote. The fun machining starts once you get into 5 axis machines you could bore out a engine block from a solid piece of aluminum block if you wanted. :)
Great review here in the USA we just bought one for our HS classroom. We teach our Engineering students how to use 3D printers, Laser Engravers, Milling Machines and many other useful pieces of equipment. However the one thing we can not do is have our kids build computers because their is no warranty... crazy the way education works.

Tormach’s are great intro level machines. You won’t ever find them in use in real manufacturing lines.They simply aren’t built heavy enough to machine aggressively with. But this is a good thing. The lighter build brings them in at a much lower price point and they really created their own market segment. It’s probably the perfect machine for LMG because long cycle and part times aren’t costing them a lot of money.
Colin looks like he would be just as comfortable making cheese on a Amish farm as being a tech master.

We had alot of these at my old internship, they were even bigger, the biggest was 3x bigger than this i'd say and costs half a milion bucks, they were really cool and alot of fun to work with. You only forgot to mention the most important tool, the measuring tool. You need to set a zero point for all your axes before you start so the machine knows where to start and measure from.
14:05 Linus, please always wear wrap-around eye protection when using compressed air to blow chips away. It's so easy to forget about or get complacent, but having a metal chip or coolant in the eyes was the most common injury when I was a CNC Operator. I've had this happen to me, and so did every coworker.
This is why an eyewash station is a critical investment when looking to safely operate a CNC machine without petty hospital visits. Even safety glasses with face shields don't offer perfect protection, so the need to use an eyewash station will likely only be a matter of time.
