Some of the Best #Tormach Posts of 2016

Tormach owners are avid social media users, especially on Instagram. While machinists of all varieties tend to use the hashtag #instamachinist, we see most Tormach users also using #Tormach.

So here are the best #Tormach posts we saw this year (in no particular order)! There are a lot, but we didn’t even get to post a fraction of the coolness that is being made out there on Tormach machines! Be sure to tag your social media posts with #Tormach so we can see what you’re up to, and happy new year!

After work session 2. Got the second arm motor mount cut out, put in a few components, and Mini Tento runs!! #robot #BattleBot #Tormach #cnc #machineshop

Beyond impressed with how the Tormach lathe handles titanium. Op1 on the Cognito button right out of the machine. Almost perfect! ? #lmsgear #lmscognito #madeinusa #usa #lmsprototyping #titanium #tormach

Mmmmmmm titanium.... Machined Titanium Dice are about as epic as dice get. This particular one is destined to be a Dragon's Breath d20. #cnc #cncmachining #instamachinist #machining #titanium #diceporn #dice #rpg #boardgames #tabletop #dungeonsanddragons

This took wayyy too long to get this thing made. Designed and CNC machined by yours truly. Brake caliper bracket adapted to a swingarm flipped upside down for clearance to the motor torque arm and easier shock mount! Super happy about how well it fits #cnc #tormach #ebike #endlesssphere #emoped #electricmotorcycle #electricbikes #makerworks #electricmoped

Well the aluminum grip was just a test, but I like it. Might have to change the plan/material. #tormach

#MorningMotivation | Meet Franco, @techshopaustin and owner of @indiecrewcustoms In 2014, he designed the first rudimentary concept of Holy Shift, which was left in the back burner for a whole year. In August 2015, he started to develop the first prototypes, and founded Indie Crew Customs.

Need to cut a couple more copper parts today. Although at this point I think the copper hates me ... took a hot chip right to the cheek ... and it stuck! Perhaps it is angry because of unfulfilled manifest destiny and really wanted to be used for something more than my silly purposes? Or I really need an enclosure! #tormach #pcnc770 #fusion360
