CNC SHAPE CUTTING MACHINE KITS

Since 1979, Torchmate has been dedicated to making the fantastic mechanized flame cutting machine process available to small shop owners. The unreasonably high cost of traditional CNC shape cutting machines has kept these units out of the hands of the very people that need them most. By offering a light weight, high quality series of cnc burning tables, we are able to use affordable cnc motion control systems that piggyback on your personal computer. It is no longer necessary to pay for a limited capability-limited production computer made specifically for metalworking. The average 8 year old 386 has more thinking power.
With the introduction of consumer-priced plasma cutters some 10 years ago, the stage was set for CNC plasma cutters to emerge. Today, a plasma-cut shape from steel plate need not cost significantly more in time or money than the same contour in posterboard or even on paper. Automated plasma cutters can produce a shape in steel almost as quickly as you can conceive it. Better still, our cnc shape burning machines can scale any profile up or down in increments of less than a thousandth of an inch in a second. You can cut a circle of virtually any diameter within the capacity of the machine after creating a single circle file. The same thing goes for any shape.
Are you tired of drilling, punching, or milling holes and slots? CNC plasma cutters can cut holes down to 1/4" in 2 seconds each. Put your milling machine end mills away, and occasionally clean the cobwebs off your drill press or ironworker. Milling machines and drill presses and band saws rely upon the mechanical wearing away of metal-one thin layer at a time. Robot shape cutting machines do it in one pass, with no de-burring or other finish processing required. Your belt sander or grinder can take a rest, as well.
Virtually everyone who needs computer controlled shape cutter is a metal fabricator of some sort. For that reason we sell our cnc pattern cutters in money-saving kit form. You do some of the completion work yourself and save a bundle! Now come see our full line of CNC plasma cutters and automated flame cutting machines. Click on ENTER!!!
