    Default What Pneumatic Cylinder does Tormach use for their PDB?

    I am starting a PDB build for my Novakon and was wondering if anyone knows the brand/source of Pneumatic Cylinders Tormach uses on their PDBs?

    There is absolutely no way the folks at Tormach would ever let that information out.

    You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.

    CruddCNC on Youtube identified the Tormach cylinder or an identical clone of it. I suspect its the exact same, as it's identical in every spec. Its a 3-stage cylinder from Xinyi Pneumatic in China. Link and contact info are below. I paid $290 for mine including DHL freight and a solenoid. It works great on my PDB and have had no issues with it. Pics below show it on my G0704. Its a pivoting PDB design allowing quick quill use for manual tapping that I do often.

    Thank you for the video link. Looks to be the same air cylinder.

    I built a PDB and used the one below. It looks exactly like the Tormach one.
    I'm not sure if it is the one they use but it works great.
    I did a video a while back and I included a link to GrabCAD where you can find the drawings I made.
