    Default Tormach pcnc1100 new user need help

    Hi I am 20 years old and recently bought a tormach 1100, this is my first machine and literally have no experience except in 3d printing. I was wondering if there is any online training to be able to learn how to properly use one of these machines without causing damage?

    NYCCNC.com is where I would start.

    As for YouTube:
    For Fusion 360 training - https://www.youtube.com/user/cadcamstuff
    Tormach training - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe0...gdPTTjsxjvyHPg

    Also look into Titans of CNC Academy - TITANS of CNC: Academy

    I agree with smokediver576. I would also add that John's new website is an easier way to find his videos and info: https://www.nyccnc.com/ There's also a forum for paid membership where you can ask anything and get a quick response. John also has hands on training courses. This might not be in your budget, but I hear they are good and the training is on Tormach machines which is a plus: https://www.nyccnc.com/events/

    You'll find plenty of help here and over on the Facebook Tormach Operators group.

    You could always take a vo-tech course. You would have access to free cad- cam software.

    You didn't note your location. There may be someone nearby who is willing to let you look over his shoulder and ask questions. Also, this group has many knowledgeable and helpful members.

    The 3.5 day Tormach Class is excellent. You should really consider it.

    Welcome aboard. If you don't already know gcode, take the time to learn it even if you are using a cad/cam program. It's an easy way to crank out a quick-n-dirty in 2 1/2 d. If you aren't already using a cad/cam program, Fusion 360 is fairly popular and it's either free or cheap for students and hobbyists. Doing CNC on a mill is a lot like on a 3d printer but no slicer or print program is used though the output from a cam program will require a post processor. Also, tons of friendly help is available on this forum.
