TORCHMATE ADVANTAGES
Quality of Available Accessories
 
Automatic Torch Height Control:
 
Our automatic torch height control units are state-of-the- art electronic units with a self-contained computer.  They should not be confused with inexpensive switch controlled units that have no way of monitoring or adjusting  torch tip-to-work distance while cutting.
 
Competing height controls on similarly priced machines either adjust torch height only at the beginning of each cut, or require you to control the height with a manual switch.

Automated Z Axis:
 
Our Torchmate 2 CNC systems come with 3-D circuitry, and our driver software can execute the full range of 3-D operations, including routing, engraving, signmaking, etc.
 
All that is necessary is to add our physical Z axis column package and a router or other suitable tool, and you are ready for these kinds of tasks.  The package includes the column, motor, cabling, and BobCad 3-D software.
 
The added versatility of being able to do 3-D work in wood, plastic, corian, laminate, etc., gives a Z axis equipped Torchmate 2 a distinct advantage over competing machines.

Many additional accessories are available.  We have tried to make it possible for you to add to your machine's capabilities over time, rather than forcing you to buy all-or-nothing up front.
