Torchmate CNC Plasma Cutters
Torchmate is definitely a company who puts their clients to mind whenever they design a new machine. Torchmate considers the client in all aspects like: How can we help our client to save money on the machine? How can we help to save our client shipping costs? Torchmate came up with the idea of provide CNC machines in kits that can be constructed by the client in a reasonable amount of time.
These kits offer absolutely everything that you need other than the computer and sometimes the steel. What? That’s right. Sometimes it is recommended to go and purchase your own steel locally to help save you money on the shipping costs. If this is done, then do not worry because Torchmate lets you know and they let you know how much the steel will cost and what you have to do with it. Imagine how much money you would have to pay in shipping costs if 200 pounds of steel was shipped to you? Let’s just say that it would be outrageous.
The kits are easy to assemble and upon purchasing, they let you know about how much time that it takes to assemble the machines when it arrives at your shop. When it comes to the assembly process, you can usually either purchase the U weld kits or the simple bolt together kits. The new bolt together kits, in some models, offer an assembly time of only approximately 4 hours to complete a large scaled Torchmate CNC plasma cutter.
The Torchmate 1 CNC plasma cutter is their 2 axis version that operates off of Window based electronics and driver software. It comes as a kit and includes things such as all bracketry and hardware that the machine needs. You have to build the rail system yourself along with the support table system out of steel that you will need to purchase locally, in order to save on shipping costs. This machine is the perfect addition to any small shop or someone who is on a budget.
The Torchmate 2 CNC plasma cutter was designed with continuous cutting in mind. It is made for industrial settings. It takes approximately 16 hours to construct and complete the kit. This machine offers a wide variety of features and is reasonably priced at approximately $7,500 dollars.
The Torchmate 3 CNC plasma cutter was designed for those businesses who wanted a complete machine that could be constructed in as little as 4 hours. The weld together kit costs around $8,800 dollars for a 4’x8’ machine and the bolt together kit can be purchased for $12,000 dollars. It incorporates some of the advanced features that the $100,000 machines include and it is definitely a value for the price you have to pay.
Torchmate CNC plasma cutters may have to be put together by yourself and it may take you some time to complete the finished product; however, in the end you will save thousands on a CNC plasma cutting machine that has quality and precision just like the higher priced CNC machines in the industry.
