The Tormach 770M is a compact CNC vertical mill with a reputation for turnkey reliability that has made it a staple in prototype shops, engineering departments, schools, and small production floors. This 2020 machine pairs an R8 spindle spinning up to 10,000 RPM and a 1.5 hp drive with X, Y, and Z travels of 14 x 7.5 x 13.25 inches over a 26 x 8 inch T-slotted table, and moves on 135 IPM rapids under Tormach's PathPilot control running on the original Tormach PC. It comes exceptionally well equipped: a full enclosure and stand, power drawbar, flood coolant system, manual oiler, passive touch probe, and a deep tooling package that includes TTS tool holders, ER11 and ER20 collets and holders, a face mill, drill chucks, a Tormach 5 inch vise with soft jaws, an anodized fixture plate, a tool height setter, and a full set of metrology and setup tooling - essentially everything a shop needs to start cutting on day one.
Compared with the Tormach PCNC 770 it replaced, the 770M is a meaningfully stronger machine rather than just a newer one. The M-series stepped up to faster 135 IPM rapids, a more rigid frame and drive system, and Tormach's modern PathPilot control, so cycle times drop and finishes improve while programming stays approachable for shops moving up from manual or entry-level CNC. For a buyer, that means the productivity and refinement of Tormach's current-generation 770 platform, delivered as a fully tooled, ready-to-run package instead of a bare machine.
