ABOUT THE BLOG

Milling Around is a place for dis­cus­sion about CNC and related top­ics in what we call “per­sonal man­u­fac­tur­ing” . Our mis­sion state­ment at Tor­mach is enabling your ideas and an impor­tant part of that is cre­at­ing resources and sup­port to help our cus­tomers get the most out of their tools. Within Milling Around, I think we can share a lot of cool things that don’t have an obvi­ous home on either our web­site or the two excel­lent inde­pen­dent user com­mu­ni­ties, CNC­Zone and the Tor­mach Yahoo Group.

I’m propos­ing three mis­sions for our blog:

1. Shar­ing prod­uct devel­op­ment. We spend a lot of time here on prod­uct devel­op­ment. What actu­ally gets out on tormach.com and for sale to our cus­tomers is a small per­cent­age. Most ideas end up in the scrap pile for what­ever rea­son — too expen­sive, not prac­ti­cal, etc. But it’s always inter­est­ing, and always edu­ca­tional. We’re also hop­ing that open­ing up this dis­cus­sion to the pub­lic will help us put out even bet­ter prod­ucts in the future.

2. Get­ting the word out about our great cus­tomers. I’m always sur­prised with how cus­tomers end up using their PCNCs. We have hun­dreds of great sto­ries from hob­by­ists, small busi­nesses, edu­ca­tors, etc. We’ll plan to share them here as we get them. If you’ve got a project or story to share with us, send it along to info@tormach.com.

3. Dis­cus­sion on CNC and Machin­ing top­ics. Our focus on tech sup­port means we field a lot of ques­tions from machin­ists, both begin­ning and expe­ri­enced alike. Its sur­pris­ing how lit­tle is on the web for begin­ners. Like­wise, we’ve learned a thing or too from the pros as well. We’re going to post tips and tricks on here peri­od­i­cally — think of it as a clear­ing­house for some good ideas we hear.

Please feel free to join the dis­cus­sion here. Keep in mind that dis­cus­sion about spe­cific tech­ni­cal sup­port or sales ques­tions is han­dled, as always, through info@tormach.com.

I’ll be post­ing once per week, and more than that when things are inter­est­ing. We’ve got a few sur­prises planned in the upcom­ing months, so stayed tuned. Thanks for reading!
