Hey, Patrick.
When you say “big mill” what piece of equipment are you referring to?
The CNC Tormach is the largest mill we have. It doesn’t come standard with a Tool Changer. It works fine without it. Just slower to change tools.
I hope this helps.
If the issue with the large air compressor is not able to be resolved quickly. I have 2 air compressors we can plug in temporarily

He means the machine that is labeled in Skedda as the “Big Mill”. It is labeled that because by any relevant standard, it is our biggest mill: it’s the heaviest with the largest table travel.
The Tormach is a large bench mill that happens to have a huge box around it.
Thanks y’all! Ethan is correct - I meant the big, new(ish) manual mill. And it sounds like it is indeed out of commission due to the air compressor issue.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply! I hope you all enjoy a wonderful weekend.

The compressor is up, kind of. I don’t know if it will stay that way. I may clear the Big Mill red tag, but it’s use at your own risk. If the compressed air goes offline, you’re stuck with your current tool for a while.
Thanks.
