Tormach Inc. has introduced its latest CNC mills, the 1100M and 770M. The new M series represents a ground-up rethinking of all aspects of the company’s best-selling 1100 and 770 mills, incorporating more than 2 years of upgrades, optimization and customer feedback.
The new 1100M and 770M machines have numerous improvements including:
Newly-designed enclosure and stand for better chip evacuation
More robust spindle drives (1.5 HP for the 770M, and 2HP for the 1100M)
Ethernet-based control system for improved diagnostics
Plug-and-play accessories for easy installation
1100M has increased Y-travel and a faster spindle (7,500 rpm) for improved cutting performance
“With these new mills, customers will be able to start cutting parts on the 770M for around $15,000 and on the 1100M for around $17,000,” said Matt Berggruen, Tormach product engineer. “That includes a power drawbar, stand, enclosure, basic tooling, and coolant – not to mention free shipping. We’ve worked hard to make these the most affordable, highest performance CNC mills of their type on the market today.”
The 770M and 1100M have the power to cut the toughest materials: stainless steel, titanium and even prehardened tool steel.

- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
