2018 Tormach 1100M CNC Vertical Mill

The 2018 Tormach 1100M CNC Vertical Mill is a compact yet sturdy machining centre tailored for small-shop precision and flexibility. It delivers 18?inch of X-axis travel, 11?inch of Y-axis travel, and 16.25?inch of Z-axis travel, powered by a 2?HP (1.5?kW) belt-driven spindle reaching up to 7?500?RPM with R8 taper. Managed via the intuitive PathPilot controller, it supports conversational and G-code programming for up to four-axis machining. Rapid feed rates of 110 IPM on X/Y axes and 90 IPM on the Z-axis ensure efficient cycle times. Its 34?inch x?9.5?inch table, with three 5/8?inch T-slots and a 500-pound capacity, sits within an overall footprint of approximately 69?inch x?56?inch x?96?inch, weighing around 1?600?pounds. The mill includes a full enclosure for coolant and chip containment, and supports optional upgrades such as automatic tool changer, power drawbar, or fourth-axis rotary table to expand capability.

With features uncommon in hobbyist mills—such as rigidity, single-phase 230?VAC 20?amp setup, and proven cutting performance in titanium or hardened steel—the 1100M excels in educational, prototyping, and light production environments where space and cost are limited yet quality cannot be sacrificed.
