    Torque Work Centre, neat machine....

    I have never seen this one before but there is a lot that I have never seen.

    This one is really neat and I could really see some great used for it in the shop. It would really be good for small shops with not a lot of space.

    There is so much you can do with it.... with so many different tools.

    Now if we could just get it in the US.

    Watch the videos on the home page.

    it's pretty neat... It duplicates alot of functions, like a router table, radial arm saw etc....

    If I had to start from scratch it would be an interesting idea, though I don't like multi purpose tools as the time spent switching "modes" bugs me...

    Seems a bit pricey. Another four grand will get you a comparable size commercial quality CNC Router.

    Clarification.

    I do not normally feel the need to clarify my opinion, but in this case I make an exception...
    Firstly I am Lazy Larry and I own and operate a small woodworking business in Australia... Lazy Larry Woodworks...
    Secondly I do not Manufacture the Torque Workcentre...
    I did however buy the first machine that was made .... I saw it demonstrated at the Maleny Woodshow... in Queensland Australia...and JUST HAD TO HAVE ONE...
    After using the Torque Workcentre for a while I made some videos with the help of the Company...to be used by the Company as demo videos in their Dealers Showrooms...
    After posting these vids on Lumberjocks... I received an email requesting information as to how one could be purchased... I contacted the Company and was granted a dealership in Queensland, Australia.
    As to the Price... I feel the Torque Workcentre tells its own story...remember you get what you pay for... There will always be cheaper and dearer pieces of equipment...
    Thanks for the opportunity to set the record straight...
    Larry
