Had a full day yesterday, filming the Torque Work Centre,
Aaron and Luke came down from Yandina. They make the tool with Keith, who couldn't make it down.
And Stuart arrived with his trusty video camera to take some footage of the machine in action.
Had a blast and learned a few more things the wee beastie can do.
For a start we just set it up with a router [Makita 3612C ] and did some basic rabbets dados and grooves.
Cut an arc and did some angle routing. Pretty cool.\
Then we made a board up with some letters glued on and cut a raised letter welcome sign and using a template and a HSS mill bit routed a sign in aluminium. I used the copy attachment arm to do this. Run the pin around the template and the router follows in the timber or other material.


Not bad for my first attempt.

cool stuff…. you can't get this machine far from XXXX beer, right? looked at their site and it has very little information about where to get it. on the previous post you showed your router bit (you pervert!) what kind of bit is that (the big 3 flute one you used for flattening)

i like your new signature.

My frind in the fridge,
My Very Big Router bit is available from Carbi-tool.
As for availability of the machine, should you be interested please PM me and I will put you in contact with them.. The web site is under construction and as to dealers they are still in discussions.. The machines will be available from Gregorys Machinery in Brisbane and other stores Australia wide as they come on board. All the machines are available for shipping internationally. They are shipped flat pack and assembly is very simple and well documented.

Looks like the beasties' limitations are the operators imagination! This tool is just to good to be true. Nice looking signs!

Looks like you have a lot of irons in the fire Larry. I figure that with that machine you will be able to have several niche woodworking products to sell. With your great designing ability you are sure to do real well. The signs were real nice.
