Title: Spare Parts Source: Advanced Machinery
Post by: RickKrung on May 17, 2020, 06:41:41 PM
I just responded to a private message from a member asking about where I purchased an individual spare part, a Micro Adjust Nut.  He was not able to find it on the Tormek spare parts site.  This is because Tormek only lists whole assemblies as spare parts and does not show individual component parts.  My source for these individual parts has been Advanced Machinery.  Advanced Machinery has a very comprehensive listing of parts for all or nearly all machine models and accessories and subassemblies.

Scroll down on the above page to the Spare Parts Finder box.

Read below on how to find individual spare parts. 

I can recall purchasing the Micro Adjust Nuts I referenced in a recent post, as well as the 6mm locking knobs/screws on most accessories.  I believe I've purchased a number of other accessories through Advance, such as spare USBs, XB-100s, Bench Grinder Mounting Set, etc.

An excellent resource for locating spare parts is Rich Colvin's Part Number Reference post on the forum

Yes, you probably won't find it on the Tormek spare parts.  They list spare parts as complete items, rather than individual parts that are part of their larger parts assemblies.  Another, and I think better source for spare parts is Advanced Machinery. They list most things with exploded diagrams showing all or most of the individual parts and list them with clickable links.

I have purchased the Micro Adjust Nuts and the 6mm Locking Knobs (Screws) on many/most of their jigs and the USB sleeves, etc.

I have found Advanced Machinery to be excellent as a reseller, fast, friendly and reliable.  I highly recommend them.

Rick,

I have purchased parts from Advanced Machinery for several years. They are a good, reliable resource for Tormek users.
As a practical matter, whenever I need parts, but not immediately, I try to combine parts orders. Advanced doesn't do free shipping. I try to combine orders.
