A little less than one year ago, we announced the 8L Lathe would be joining the Tormach family of machines. Now a little less than 12 months later, we are starting to see what the 8L is capable of out in the wild.

The new Tormach ZA6 robot can be used for a number of different applications, so when it entered the beta phase, we weren’t exactly sure what our testers were going to do with it.

Here at Tormach, we don’t just engineer great products, we use them too!
