Here is real time video of my Tormach 770 running 3 operations to test out some code. I have since optimized it some and reduced run time by 1:22. There is still room for improvement. If this becomes a regular product I will create a fixture to run 6 pieces for each operation. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbqq38oEkVg
Just some random footage taken during the process. Sorry for the poor audio. I have a better mic setup on the way.

My appologies for the poor video quality. I document in under 4 minutes the processes of installing CAE Linux 2017 with XUBUNTU 16.04 on a Dell Latitude E6410. CAE Linux comes preloaded with Cad, CAM, electrical, FEM, software. Check it out at http://caelinux.com/CMS/
Finite Element simulation:
Salome-Meca 2017 with the new GUI module AsterStudy
Code-Aster 13.4 FEA (MPI version)
Elmer FEM multiphysics solver
Calculix with CalculixLauncher GUI
Computational fluid dynamics:
Code Saturne 5 Finite Volume CFD solver (MPI parallelism) with Salome & Paraview Pre-Post
HelyXOS GUI (hex dominant mesher, preprocessor) with OpenFOAM CFD solver (MPI)
Javafoil, XLFR5, XFoil
CAD/CAM & Electronics
Freecad stable version with Openscad & FEA module
Salome CAD & mesher
LibreCAD / Inkcape for 2D drawings
Pycam, Flatcam, HeeksCNC, pcb2gcode CAM preprocessors, Camotics 3axis milling simulation
Kicad EDA, Arduino IDE
Mathematics, Scientific tools & Development
Octave, Scilab, R, RkWard &Rcmdr, wxMaxima, Spyder / Scipy & Python, Gnu compilers for C/C++/Fortran
Latex & Texmaker for scientific editing
Libre Office suite
Jabref literature database manager
and many more...
I will have live disk available on my sight once it is out of beta. More videos (and better quality) to come of CAE Linux and LinuxCNC.

This video describes the hybrid stepper kits I'm offering on Kickstarter now through the end of January 2020. (Please note some of the items shown are for testing purposes and have or will be upgraded.)
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/864863214/tormach-pcnc-closed-loop-upgrade?ref=user_menu
These kits upgrade your axis drives on the 770 and 1100 mills and gives position feed back allowing error alarms to the controller. They also run cooler and offer higher torque which allows for higher speeds...currently up to 300ipm (7620mm/min). These are complet kits for a clean install in your electrical cabinet. Full instructions will be provided. .ini configuration file for your machine with the higher feed rate is also included.
Feel free to reach out of follow along here or on Instagram, Facebook, or my website... www.olivent.org

I'm finally back to work on this project. In this video I make the remaining parts I need to begin the mechanical assembly. I am using Russel's design for the Grizzly G0602 Lathe with a few modifications as they are basically the same, mines just longer...
