I've been saving up for several years to buy myself a CNC hobby lathe. I don't mean one of those little
bench-top models like Sherline and such.
I was wanting something mid-sized. In the same way my tormach 770 is "Mid-Sized" compared to a full sized vertical mill
and a Sherline.
During that waiting and saving-up time I got news that Tormach was working on a new Lathe of their own
that they were going to introduce to the market not long ago.
Well; where is it? What's happening on the Tormach Lathe front?
I'm nearing the point where I'm ready to buy and I've heard nothing more about it other than inquiries by other
interested potential buyers.
I've selected two other CNC Lathe candidates for possible purchase but if possible, I'd rather keep the same Tormach brand
in my disproportionately small home shop. I have nothing but good things I could say about my CNC mill. I figured
if or when Tormach does introduce a new lathe to the market the quality should be just as good as the quality I've found on my
770.
Has anyone heard anything more about this elusive Tormach lathe? Time is quickly ticking by. I don't think
I'm the only one who's not averse to going with another brand if there's not at least some updates on the progress
of this Lathe venture by Tormach.
