A tormach cnc milling machine. Not sure what the exact table size is but it is definitely a high quality machine.

We also have access to two grizzly mills. One is a hobby/desktop mill and another is a more professional 7 foot tall mill, also grizzly. There is also a broken bridgeport mill and grizzly lathe.
