DCB Episode 8 - Outdoor Firepit

Hey Chad, has anyone given feedback when opening the DXF file in Inkscape it is seemingly blank? Perhaps it is the software (since it is free) or maybe you're aware of a possible issue and have a suggestion? I'd really like to try to cut this out and weld it up. Thanks!

 

Hmm.. I've haven't heard of an issue with opening up TMCAD DXFs in INKSCAPE. I personally haven't played around with inkscape as I use TMCAD and AI. Might want to check their forums unless someone on here can add to this. I provided a PDF of the file to check to see if that works for you.

 

Thanks Chad for the quick reply, and PDF. Worse case I'll use that!

 

Bought the torchmate 48oo cnc table for our college and it hasn't worked properly since the day we bought it. We have had Lincoln electric come down several times but it turned out I knew more about the machine than they did. Very frustrated and disappointed. Almost 50,000$ spent on this machine and all I get is error codes constantly, some days it cuts fine and some days it wont even start a cut. we had a 20 year old thermal dynamic before this and I wish we would have just kept it.

 

Well Ryan, I would assume that you have contacted Torchmate support regarding your "issues"? If not then I would recommend calling 7756732200 and talk to one of our Customer Experience Team to assist you. Also, I would recommend watching some of the training videos online as they cover some of the information you might be requiring. www.torchmate.com/university

 

I’ll be cutting one of these out tomorrow! It will be the first big cut on our table. Excited to see how the table performs and how the fire pit comes out!

 

Make sure you past some of the final photos. Love to see completed projects!

 

I made one. I am not a great welder, so I know they don't look great. I haven't decided yet whether to paint or let it rust.

 

Nice work.

John
