Tormach Machining Videos

Tormach's machining videos webpage is a bottom up approach to learning the art and science of CNC machining - it is learning by example. As our library of examples expands we will add search and indexing tools to help users find the most appropriate example for their needs.

Conventional references such as Machinery’s Handbook approach manufacturing by explaining general theory. They explain relationships, like the relationship between surface speed, tool radius, and RPM, or establish broad guidelines, such as the machinability index. This is the top down approach; the idea is that once the larger scale concepts are understood it should be easy to formulate a solution to any individual problem. The top down approach is systematic and scientific, but it doesn’t work for everyone and cannot resolve every problem situation.

With a bottom up approach the depth of understanding is more limited, but the learning curve is far less daunting. The library of application notes is intended to provide a “quick start” method for Tormach customers learning to use their machine, as well as providing a useful public resource on the Internet.
