I am sure you are right about that Mike. I have a torchmate 3 4X8...I built the table myself based on past expeirence of the "operator's" of the machine in my shop...Not everyone is really careful while loading plate. The bracing is not up too taking a bump from a heavy piece of plate. In the perfect world that would never happen...but you know how that goes. I also liked being able to weld on the supports for the table slats instead of bolting them on....anyways, it's just my opinion, nothing more. I am really pleased with my torchmate set-up. If anyone needs asistance with interfacing a Miller 1251 spectrum to the ATHC let me know. |
