The Metal Master (Impetus) Machine Tool

The Metal Master (Impetus) Machine Tool

Once in a while someone designs something really innovative which at first sight you would think it would take the world by storm. Sadly because of entrenched viewpoints, vested interest and maybe a lack of marketing skills such good ideas do not always achieve the recognition they deserve. The Metal Master (Impetus) machine tool by David Urwick is one such innovation. It is still not clear to us why this idea did not take off. The machine is ideal for the small home machinist workshop and would avoid the somewhat larger investment in cash and the space required for multiple machines to achieve the same manufacturing capability. This is a reduced version of an article published in Model Engineers' Workshop Issue 225, February 2015, and includes a download link (below) for the most complete documentation for the Metal Master.
