The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

For those of you interested in the machinery that makes your kits, we have just updated our gallery with pictures of the arrival of two new cnc machine tools yesterday.

They are both Haas machines from the USA, one is a VF2 which replaces our VF1 and gives both increased capacity and speed. The second is a TL1 which is a CNC controlled toolroom lathe giving additional capacity and flexibilty.

We have invested in these machines to enusre that we can continue to improve the quality and detail of the kits and maintain prompt delivery.

Mark and Gill,

Congrats on the new tooling system. Will that be able to produce a really complicated turret like the Pershing??

Cant wait to see what is next.

Jim

Congratulations Mark and Gill on the new additions. Must feel like Christmas at Armortek. Keep up the superb work.

Like Jim, I look forward to seeing what's next.

Hello Gill and Mark

Wow Glad to see the new machine. When will it be commisoned? The family is getting bigger

The machine would be able to make a turret such as the Pershing, however it would still be more economical to have a casting made.

Tim

Mark might think it is Christmas, not sure that machine tools would be on my Christmas list

The VF2 has been commisioned today and the engineer is back tomorrow to commision the TL1. So both will be in use very soon.

Boy !! . I was happy two weeks ago with my mini mill . I bet Mark was impressed when these turned up . Good timing for the PZ III . and King tiger . Dale

Mark,
That's some serious cnc machinery you have there. Congrats on the new "big boys toys". I love this stuff and envy you.
