    Despite your comments (I may be an absolute newcomer to surface grinders, but I'm by no means a newcomer to the machine shop), I agree with you! If I were Tormach, I'd get them into the...

    It will be interesting to see how this surface grinder pans out. Tormach has had, in my opinion, a "best in class" solution for their PCNC Mill. There just isn't much competition for the...

    Ray - i agree, it's not clear to me this will be as big a commercial success. Certainly not the same audience size as mill's (or lathes). We'll see. I would guess Tormach did their homework re:...

    Tormach is using an existing design that you'll see other asian-import companies use (e.g. grizzly). While I'd like to "defend" tormach and say the overall quality is higher due to on-sight...

    Love mine, absolutely no regrets. Power Draw bar is a "must" have. I'd rather buy a second machine than buy an ATC. An ATC is nice, but for me, I'd still have to be there to move the coolant...

    Would love to see some video of it in action, as well as some info on how to program - e.g. whether it's easy or hard, would be great to walk folks through basic part making on it.

    TXFred - Thanks. FWIW, I have the Jet saw (technically a 5x6, I think). I wonder if it's motor is also deficient in power.
