Greetings from darkest Northamptonshire
Hi folks!
Just signed up to swell your ranks by a grand total of one 🙂
I run a small tube forming/bending company specialising in the motorsport sector. I run a couple of CNC tube benders which keep me on my toes.
Really fancy getting my hands on a half decent CNC mill so I can make my own tooling and (lowers voice...) also to make various bits for my motorbikes.... 😬
So, currently on the lookout for a nice mill, maybe the Tormach 770 I spotted earlier 🤞
Go well and take care everybody.
Grahame 🙂

Hi Grahame, welcome to the forum!
Any joy on the 770 ?
Re: Greetings from darkest Northamptonshire
Hi Lee,
Why thank you, kind Sir!
As a matter of fact yes! I'm having the 770 advertised in the For Sale section of this very forum.
Quite a Christmas present to myself, I'd say 😎👍
Of course, this will be a case of this particular 'Old Dog' having to learn new tricks as quite frankly, I've never so much as dipped a toe in the tricky waters of CNC machining, CNC Tube Bending yes, but that's a very different discipline 😬
Re: Greetings from darkest Northamptonshire
A professional tube bender calls himself 'Pentode"... Groan!!! Do you have apprentices called Tetrode, Triode and Diode? :hysterical:
Welcome aboard Grahame, you'll fit in here a treat. :beer:

Oh that's brilliant! 🤣 To be honest, I'd not even equated Tube Bending with Pentode..! What a half wit! 🤣
Actually, I used Pentode as a name when I was building my own big valve/tube bass amps 🤓
Thanks for the welcome, much appreciated 👍
