## Tormach sells compact, intuitive CNC equipment that students can actually use.

 Hands-on training is the most effective way for most students to learn. So why do so many schools keep their kids away from CNC equipment? Because a crash can cost upwards of ten grand, that's why. 

Tormach CNC machines use lower horsepower spindles that won't destroy the machine on the worst days, but they have enough giddy-up to cut any material, just like the big boys.

Your students can get hands-on training and you can avoid crash-related heart attacks. Win-win.

 "The construction, interface, and ease of use allow beginning students to gain confidence quickly and advance their skills as their project ambitions grow.

Frankie Flood

University of Wisconsin Milwaukee

 "Students can fabricate devices in several materials including aluminum, steel, wax, and several types of plastics. Despite the low cost of this CNC mill, we are able to use end mills as small as .002 inches (50 µm) to fabricate our devices.”

David Guckenberger

University of Wisconsin Madison

 “Our students make almost anything,   
from planes to robots.” 

David Barrett

Olin College
