Tormach 770 - Minimum Starter Setup

[Viroos]

Fresh thoughts following the assembly of the machine. I really regret for not adding the arm to my shopping list. I would say it should be a part of a minimum setup, otherwise good luck finding a good place to the monitor and the rest of input devices. Buying it now isn't an option - the shipping costs more than the arm itself, so I'm definitely going to add it to my next big shopping with Tormach.

Go to Wal Mart and get a TV or computer wall mount- lots of them available- very cheap

The Tormach product seemed overpriced so homebrew arms to attach the monitor+keyboard and another to support a tray of TTS holders were my first projects when I got my 770. Making your own doesn't require a lot of material and will provide valuable experience with CAD/ CAM/ workholding/ etc.
