    Converting 4400 to 4800

    I was pretty sure of that but a 1932 ford wasn't meant to have a 454 engine put in it either and its done all the time. Lol

    Converting 4400 to 4800

    Just curious if any thoughts on extending the 4400 table to be able to cut 96" material. Should have got the 4800 but hind site is 20/20. Looks like extending the table to front by adding the gear tracks and Gantry sliders would be easy and just moving the limit switches to the end of the new...

    Datum Diagnosis

    I did get immediate response once i posted on here about mine. Since then I have been on the phone and email with an engineer and he got on my machine remotely too. I do appreciate the much needed help from them and as of right now it works fine. I will knock on wood though because it worked...

    Torchmate 4800, XY Axis, Positioning and Squaring Table

    I dont know whats up with mine. when I first Datum it in the morning it binds up on the Y axis and I cant jog it other than moving it manually with my hands. then it works for a little while then binds up again. If you are standing at the front of the machine it is obvious that the left Y axis...

    Torchmate 4800, XY Axis, Positioning and Squaring Table

    Did this seam to fix the problem? Was it the grounding rod issue? I am about to redo my grounding rods and hope this is my problem also.

    Torchmate 4800, XY Axis, Positioning and Squaring Table

    I have been having these issues with my 4400 table also. I've only had it a couple of months and it cuts good most of the time but I am not confident enough to walk away while it cuts. On any large job there is a chance that it will out of the blue start cutting the file about 6-12 inches off...

    Z limit exceeded ... why?

    I use the Job setup tab constantly. Thats why I called them to find out why I don't have it. Is your machine a 4400 or 4800 or a different model?

    Z limit exceeded ... why?

    Is the Retract setting tab going to be available as software update for the 4400 and 4800 tables? Mark did the video and I couldn't find it on my job setup screen so I called and was told that it isn't on the 4400 or 4800 tables. It looked like mark was doing it on the new tables though.

    Loading Material tips/tricks... Additional machinery?

    I bought a Harbor freight electric hoist with trolley wheels on a tractor supply barn door track. works like a charm, I back my truck in the shop and put a strap around each single sheet, push the button and guide it to my machine and lower it. I cut it in half with the torchmate and with straps...

    machine jumps to different position while cutting.

    I was cutting a big part from 16 ga. mild steel and had some room left on the sheet after finished and pulled up a couple wall art files for the wife. Started to cut and halfway thru noticed that the machine was cutting the text at a total different spot than it should have. I thought maybe that...

    General maintenance

    Just got the 4400 table and going to try and keep it looking good by cleaning it once a week. I had a plasma cam table years ago and had the water level set too low so had plasma dust everywhere. I now know i can set the water to the top and no dust. any advise on if the water splashing up while...
