    Can we still upgrade our tables to the next size and beyond? I'm interested in expanding my 2x2 to a 4x2 or maybe a 4x4.

    Unfortunately the expansion for the growth series machine got discontinued awhile back.

    Thanks. Coincidentally I got an email 15m before you posted your reply stating they had been discontinued. :)

    Since the 4x4 is still around, are there any parts available to do a 2x2 to 4x4 upgrade?

    Supply and Demand, (corrected) powers that be ran the numbers.

    I guess on the bright side, now that the supply will be 0 and there will always be some demand, we won't have any problems selling our tables if we ever decide to upgrade. :)

    I think what killed the demand is when the price of the smaller tables more than doubled.

    I just upgrade my 2x4 to 4x4 the only stipulation was that they(torchmate) couldn't sell me the aluminum cross rails to connect the sides. So I just bought the top gantry, built a table, bolted my side down. Then placed my new gantry on top. I will say with the cross rail gone it makes it easier to get larger sheets of metal in and out

    I called and was told upgrade isn't available. But it's still advertised on the site. Odd.

    Wonder if anyone has parts from a previous upgrade that would get me to a 4x2.

    Could you point us to where it is still advertised as such? Thanks!

    It appears it does not specifically say the growth series is growable. I took it for face value. My apologies. Do you know if there are any 4ft rails still available, even without the top bar?

    Understood. Thanks for checking. It's possible there may be - you would have to call or email parts to see what exactly we have.
