Torchmate Metal Brake

[bullethead67]

Long ago I saw a post where a member used his Torchmate to build a metal brake. It was a hotrod style with flames. I cant find it now. anybody remember where it is

I am pretty sure it was on torchmates web site, as a customers project, but now I can't find it. I'll keep looking because I really liked it too.

"May, 2004: This is an 80 ton press brake that was manufactured by John Hunt of Iron Art in Thatcher, Arizona, using his new 4'x8' Torchmate 3. He had a competitors 4'x4' plasma table and could not produce this until he purchased his 4'x8' Torchmate 3 Kit. His completed Torchmate 3 is shown in the picture below. It just goes to show that if you want to produce large parts, you are better off with a machine that can handle it."

I bet osha loves that. What a waste of time and money. Looks like its made of multiple plates bolted together Surely not.

Oh well, i've probably done stupider stuff.
