I just bought a torchmate machine today, 2x4 foot machine plus basic software, and shipping to balikbayan forwarder was only 188k pesos. add in another 100k pesos for customs, plasma torch, and air freight so most likely total cost up and running is 288k pesos. cheapest local machine on Sulit is 550k pesos.
The big problem with the Chinese machines is that they still use the old parallel port electronic controller.
Anyways will open up shop early next year in Antipolo. Will offer cut services, engineering, and make DIY kits for different tools, like a small scale plastic inject mold machine that should cost less than 30k pesos, hydraulic press kit, rice gas stove kit that will need no welding, stainless steel bbq grill that bolts together, and the cut parts for a DIY skid steer. |
