2016 Tormach PCNC 1100 Series 3 CNC Vertical Machining Center

The 2016 Tormach PCNC 1100 Series 3 is a benchtop-class CNC vertical mill engineered for shops, prototyping benches, and small production cells that need real metalcutting capability without committing to a full-size VMC. Configured with 18 inches of X-axis travel, 9.5 inches of Y, 16.25 inches of Z, a 34" x 9.5" worktable, an R8 spindle that turns up to 5,140 RPM driven by a 2 HP motor, and the optional automatic tool changer + 4th-axis drive both installed, this PCNC 1100 ships with a brand-new unused replacement spindle cartridge bearing assembly as a future-proof spare, the original (working) spindle drive motor as a backup alongside its 2023-replaced motor, two Kurt D688 vises on the table, a selection of tool holders, an open pan-style enclosure with flood coolant, and an automatic way oiler. Per the seller, the table is unharmed and the machine has never been crashed.

Compared to the newer Tormach 1100M that replaced the PCNC 1100 line, the Series 3 keeps the proven R8 spindle interface (a meaningful cost advantage for shops with R8 toolholding inventory) over the 1100M's BT30 interface, and the well-known PathPilot CNC platform that defined the PCNC line. With the ATC and 4th-axis drive options already paid for, two Kurt vises included, and a fresh-bearing-assembly spare in the package, this PCNC 1100 Series 3 is positioned for buyers stepping up from a manual mill or a Sherline/Taig benchtop without paying full retail on a current-generation 1100M.
