    Torchmate 2 x 4 issue

    Sounds to me like 1 of 2 things could be happening. My guess is the anti back lash nuts are starting to wear The other thing I would do if you don't have accumove is open up the control box and on each card there is a pot. Turn them all counter clockwise until they stop. They are 2.5amp cards...

    Next Generation CNC Plasma Table For Small Business | Torchmate 4400-4800

    Meh still not sure how I feel about this. And then you guys boot the growth series to kick all the little guys in the ass. Disappointed. Looks like a good machine but the service i have gotten from torchmate in the past and the high price point makes me want to go elsewhere.

    USB Dongle. Which one do you have?

    So I should just download the latest software off the website and it will work? Copy/paste the files from the blue/white stick to the C Cad directory? And replace the exisiting files ? So the blue/white has 2 license files on it where as the orange only has 1?

    USB Dongle. Which one do you have?

    I have the orange one that came with my torchmate. Going on over 2 years now and a few times I got an error message saying it couldn't see the dongle and closed the software.

    Adding height control. Questions?

    Thinking about adding height control to my table. What can I expect besides just "better cuts" which is all i read about Can I cut some 1/2" steel with the PM45 with really really good results? Can I cut 14g steel dross free?

    Machine and /or operator assistance

    It would take that long even if you lived next door to them. I order something and it still takes a week to ship...

    Post pics of your table/slat layout.

    Oh ya I guess you can do that lol. I can't since my torchmate water table the slats are longer than 2". Do you like them compared to just flat?

    Post pics of your table/slat layout.

    I have been thinking of doing the same thing. I hate finishing for parts in the table, especially when the water is cold. I also removed every other slat. Where did you get pointed slats from and how do you like it? I thought about doing it but never did

    Machine and /or operator assistance

    If you can't get past the pierce point or it won't pierce it's likely a grounding issue.

    Toolpath start point

    double click the piece and move where you see your lead in or out. Or go to Machine -> edit start points and just click on the new spot you want to start for each cut. Just click the line and it will move the lead in. If you don't click the line it will exit the start point editor
