New Forum/Introduction

[Mike@Torchmate]

Thanks for creating a Torchmate specific forum. This is a great website for everything CNC and although it seems to be geared more to the do-it-yourself kind of forum, some people do have questions about pre-manufactured machines or kits.

First I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mike and I work in the Technical Support department here at Torchmate. If you have any questions about the Torchmate system I can answer them here or feel free to call in and speak to either one of our sales persons or someone here in the Technical Support Department.

We have 5 machines here in our facility located in Reno, Nevada. I will list them and their attachments here below:

Torchmate 4'x4' Small Shop Machine - Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101 with SL100 Machine torch and Torchmate AVHC system. Air-Scribe attachment for marking plate. Cable Carrier system.

Torchmate 4'x4' Small Shop Machine - Servo package with Z-Axis. Probe Sensor. Cable Carrier system.

Torchmate 3 4'x8' Machine - Routing Z-Axis package with routing bed. Cable Carrier system.

Torchmate 3 10'x10' Machine - T-Section upgrade. Three tank Oxygen Acetylene setup with Manual Torch holder. Hypertherm 1100 with machine torch and Torchmate AVHC system. Dual Cassettes. Tube Cutting attachment. Cable Carrier system.

Torchmate 4 5'x10' Machine - CNC adjustable air ballast water bed. Servo motors. Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 151 with SL100 Machine Torch and the Torchmate AVHC unit. Cable Carrier system.


I will have to take some pictures of the machines here to post up. But if you ever want to come by for a demonstration or are looking for a sample cut off of one of our machines, feel free to call in and request one from our sales staff.

Mike what is the air-scribe attachment and is there a pic of it on the Torchmate Website? Thanks

[Mike@Torchmate]

There is a photo of it in our online catalog for you to view. It is a pneumatic plate marking attachment for marking metal using a compressed air cylinder, and pin attachment.

Hi again Mike, Ok I see the plate marking attachment listed in the options but no price nor picture available, as I am in a different time zone/country calling is sometimes not convenient. Are you able to post a pic and approx price? Thanks

Hi Mike, our new 5'x16' Torchmate1 kit has just arrived. I've been studying the building instructions but since they (the instructions) are for a 4'x8' I'm a bit confused about the rail system materials dimensions. Could you give me a hand here? Do you have any dwgs or anything that could be of use? please let me know and I'll PM you my email address. Thanks!

It's a simple matter of adding 12 inches to the drawing for each extra foot of cutting axis. For the Y axis short side measurements add 12 inches, and for the X axis long side measurements add 96 inches. I can send you a dimensioned drawing if you will PM me your E-Mail address.
